    This is how important the 60 foot time is for the 1/4 mile

    If so, the new car will be a bargain for those that can get the tax credit.

    It would be nice if the rebate was scaled since $1 over 150k and you're cut off.

    2024 Model 3 (Highland)- Spoiler improves or reduces range?

    I'm going to wait and see how all the numbers come out and road test when Tesla has cars available. I was really hoping for an improved battery with 110s. Here in Vancouver there's highlands everywhere now.

    My KW V3s ride better than stock with no bottoming out at high speeds. The stock dampers are truly scary in bumpy corners.

    I drove an early 3P that did that due to rear bushings being shot... hopefully the comfort tuning on the new chassis doesn't compromise durability.

    Tesla could still tweak the power before any 3rd party testing happens.

    They might have speed limited the cars. Could also be they were instructed not to.

    He mentioned 2.90 with a passenger and that must be with rollout.

    https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a13050927/canadian-spec-bmw-e36-m3-1994/ Back when the E36 M3 came out the euro spec version had 46 more hp. A few of the 286hp versions made it here and I suspect there will be many US spec cars imported to Canada soon.

    I think the depreciation curve on the new 3P will be much flatter as it's really good value in my opinion. The cars with the worst drops were bought at the peak of the market which had unrealistically high prices. It's like people who bought stocks at the height of covid and then wondering why...

    My guess is this is why no 1/4 mile data has been published. The HP is shown on the order page so if someone hits buy, they know they're only getting the 460hp version.

    Based on the Canadian order page which says 460hp, we're getting the junk LG pack.

    Not that I've seen. I'm going with 10.9 @ 120mph for the freedom version.

    Having spent time in a Highland LR, I'd say that even with a modest power bump the new Performance is a great deal. The power isn't as much as enthusiasts want but getting the tax credit will be a big selling feature.

    That might be possible from the Commander. Request that feature.

    What else would you buy for 53k? With most getting at least 7.5k rebate, that's 45.5k.

    If it has to be one or the other i'll take quicker to 60. At 40k over the limit here your vehicle gets impounded and we have no more plate tags as police use automated readers to determine status.

    Having done government work before, this thread reminds me of a tax payer funded project and after 200 pages of emails, nothing meaningful transpired. If the the 3L doesn't drop on April 23rd I predict a cost-plus project extension out to 269 pages.
