with drag radials its a 10 second car easily. a 121mph trap speed is no joke, especially for a stock 4800lb sedan
While it's true it's traction limited up to 30 MPH, adding drag radials would only improve the time if the software allowed more power below below 30 MPH. As of this point, adding the wider 21" wheels doesn't improve the time over the 19" skinnier wheels so adding slicks won't do it either. But Tesla could and should add a drag radial mode. Also, adding more power at one one RPM will increase the torque at that RPM as well and the lower the RPM, the more torque the same power makes. Tesla may not be taking advantage of the 21" wheel traction as it is below 30 MPH because the extra torque may be beyond the design limit of the shafts and bearings or get to close to it for their reliability comfort.
still disappointed we're not seeing 10's.. To trim weight, they opted for no pano roof, no 2nd charger, and no rear seats. Close, but no cigar.
To clarify, no rear-facing seats. Taking out the rear seats would be... impressive.
Traction limited, yes, however there is still a hint of wheelspin 0-30. If they can improve the 60foot by any means possible (cutting out that wheelspin), it will definitely shave some time up top
11.1 is impressive and said to be the average of 2 runs in opposite directions.
Still not 10.9 but very impressive.
I agree that drag radials would not help.
Turn off traction control, add drag radials, possibly that will take a tenth or two off.
Agree about the drag strip. Until we start seeing real time slips from drag strips 11.1 didn't happen. They could just have easily corrected for ice factors like mt did.
