S Plaid couldn’t pull on 16X P100D

[njhtran]

On my way to Payson az and a Plaid S in front of me on a 2 lane highway went to the left lane to pass a long line of trucks and gunned it and I followed suit. We were both going about 60 prior to lane change and hard acceleration , we both ended up at about 130 mph when letting off and merging back to the right lane. He couldn’t pull away and afaictl was at full throttle and so was I we kept the same pace. I’m a bit disappointed I the S plaid performance but very pleased with my older XP100D

Doesn't mean he was at 100% throttle or anything other than standard.

Plaid was in chill mode or not full throttle. I'm glad you are happy with your X!

Numbers don’t lie. The 1/4 mile trap speeds on both cars tell the story of what would happen if he was in plaid mode, full throttle and you guys went from a roll race at freeway speeds.

But like LT4 said, glad you are feeling good about your X.

Ya I just looked up the numbers. The plaid should’ve been 4x faster than the X p100d at that rolling start. Oh well it felt good anyway

He didn’t realize you were racing him

Also his state of charge makes a big difference. Or took pity on you.

State of charge doesn't make a big difference on the Plaid.

Tesla Model S Plaid at 20% battery after 40 quarter-mile runs is still a monster

Back when the Taycan Turbo S was released, Porsche made it a point to highlight that the all-electric sports car is capable of maintaining its performance despite multiple launches, unlike its main competitor, the Model S Performance which tended to lose power as its battery was discharged.

At 20% it still pulls 1/4 mile in the high 9s, 0-60 2.33 seconds - after 40 quarter mile runs

It's not like the prior Raven S where 0-60 times would almost triple after a few runs.

My experience under 20% it drives a lot slower.

I do this all the time just to screw around with them. Makes them feel like their car is fast....sometimes it is best they don't know how badly it could have ended
