Most definitely the wrong term. Tesla has warrantee claims to think about. Even in insane and sport modes I'm sure there's a healthy margin of safety and they can be left on indefinitely.

If there's anyone with an 85D near me (~45 min north of Charlotte) I'll have a PerfomanceBox soon and wouldn't mind getting some accurate numbers
Just went to the drag strip. Outside temp was around 45F.
First run : SOC@62% [email protected] (I let go of the accelerator about 100ft from the end... and full regen kicked in(first time at that specific drag strip)
Second Run : 12.77 something. Problem with the timer, no slips
3rd Run : 12.789. They still had problem with the timers
Last run : SOC@54% [email protected] (clean run)
SOC is definitely a factor here. My car feels much faster > 80%.
Slips (run #1 and #4)
Sport mode was on I assume? Looks like at a nice SOC it is pretty close to the P85, just a bit slower to keep things civil
Those slips could pass as P85 slips... actually a bit better than what I was getting yesterday with my fiance's P85.

Yep
P85 always has a faster final speed and slower 60ft unless running really sticky tires
But that is awesome

Got the 2.4.188 update yesterday and now the "Normal" and "Sport" mode on my car is gone. The setting is simply not there anymore. The car feels (as in my butt dyno) the same sport mode, all the time, now.... but the setting is gone.
This is covered in the release notes. They simply removed the Normal/Sport selection and have given you full performance if you ask for it (with the Go pedal), just like the P85.

Ok, I scrolled the release notes pretty quickly this morning and my brain only saw "the same as the 6.2". Did not read it carefully.
I like that name, the "Go Pedal"... I'm still catching myself calling it the Gas pedal

Hoping to do essentially that 10 June at Sacramento Raceway. $15 to run as many times as you want and a pizza gathering at Roma II after to compare time strips. ALL Model S variations invited. Coordinated by SacEV.org
See you there.....
I will have my P85D, bring YOUR "gun to the shootout."
