Dyno Next Week for Model S- any instructions?

start the dyno session from a standstill going 100% wide open throttle, don't roll up to a speed and start it.... turn off traction control and all other accessories, AC, radio, lights, etc... make sure the car has a 100% charge...

Only do the minimum amount of runs you need - dyno runs are known to ruin motorcycle tires, I imagine they don't do car tires much good either.

The car may freak out and throw a bunch of alarms. I've seen that after a dyno run before but everything cleared after a few min of driving.

And please record the process on video and post here

Drive it like ya stole it.....

Has anyone gunned it in reverse to see what would happen and what reverse torque would be??? I wonder if they limited the speed in reverse at all or if it could still pull a 12 second quarter mile in reverse LOL

Did you get the chance to test it on the dyno yet?

Or worse.

This happened locally(ish) by a company that would bring along their mobile dynos to fairs and events around the province. People would pay a fee to have a dyno reading of their car. The readings were not accurate and people that knew better would never trust those guys nowhere near their cars.

If you test on a real "permanent" Mustang or DynoJet dyno, you will be safe. Guys operating dynos know their stuff. They do this day in and day out. Clowns bringing dynos around on a trailer to entertain kids during small town fairs should be avoided. Especially if you have a high power car like the Tesla.
