P85D vs P85 1/8th mile drag (video)

wk057 · Apr 18, 2015

Video of my P85D vs my fiance's P85.
She was filming, not driving, for this run... but she did do some runs

Here is the PerformanceBox graph from the P85D for this run:

Edit:
Here is a second run (posted a few posts down also):

Great info as always.
I think contibuting to the spikes is probably the 5m 95% CEP values of the GPS readings themselves (ie not a PBox issue but a limitation of GPS accuracy.

Do you have an external GPS antenna - this can increase reliability of readings

Even better if you could get access to a VBox Sport as it has a 20Hz GPS capture, so can average more data for each point.

Awesome video as always. 1.3g initial acceleration. NICE.

I actually just received the external antenna in the mail today.... so doesn't help me with these runs, but, maybe next time.

Sleep? This word is foreign to me...

For this run the P85D was down to about 88% and the P85 somewhere around 70%.

Another later run of me vs my fiance with a friend filming. Six angles in the video.

Wk057 thanks for doing this! Awesome vid, this is very useful to me. All the angles captured and the data plotted output, hit the jackpot here.

This gets me thinking. We need the ultimate race: All Tesla models/variants on a runway, like Motor Trend's World's Greatest Drag Race series. Roadster 1.0, 1.5, 2.0; Model S 40, 60, 70D, 85, 85D, P85, P85+, P85D.

wk057, what firmware versions are used while filmed?

i believe el toro has enough space

Both on 6.2 with the P85D on 2.4.153 and the P85 on that weird 101.36.2 build.

Great video. For comparison, my best time in my 1997 Dodge Viper was 8.032 at 92.5 MPH. Interesting as I would have thought my P85 would be a bit faster in the 1/8 mile than the Viper. It certainly is a lot easier to launch. The newer Vipers can do 7.1 to 7.2 with drag radials.

Only six?

Quite cool! Thanks!
