    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    PS I was so on the fence about getting this car or a Plaid S. I now have a Plaid S again in the garage and it’s such a reminder that the car is zero fun. It’s a comfortable one trick pony. That trick is you put your foot down and get fuzzy brain and go to jail speeds before you even begin to...

    Track mode hurts at a drag strip. Reason being it kills the nav. You want the nav because you want to be navigating to the nearest supercharger. Hopefully it’s close enough to the track that the car starts preconditioning the battery so you get that sweet sweet full power. And yes of course take...

    Unfortunately I can’t seem to find that person on Dragy to see if it’s a verified run or not. That said, I do think this is possible.

    Thank you!!! WTH with some of these people doing 73% draggy runs. 😂

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    IMHO the market, and TSLA, is still in a bubble. I sold most of my TSLA for far more than it's worth now. If it ends up going to $1000+ a share I'll be surprised but also happy as I'll likely always hold some of this rollercoaster. I certainly wont be sad over any potential missed gains. Having...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Really I should just order one now to see how fast I can put it down the strip, in the name of science! I have no idea if I'll qualify for the tax credit or not this year but I can't bring myself to order that stealth grey. My requirements are white interior and anything but SG. Alas, I sit on...

    Enjoy! Pretty sure it's a stock tire/wheel/weight record. Standard P, not stealth. I was at about 97% SoC and preconditioned for a Supercharger. I've taken many cars to the drag strip and my skinny ass is always able to extract the most performance, from rowing gears to EV accelerator mash. 😆

    I filled in some data from my 21 full stock run at Cecil County drag strip. This was a very strong [record?] run. Old P3D 2024 P3D 2021 MSLR 0-60 (no rollout) 2.99 1/8 mi 7.25 7.06 1000ft 9.45 9.2 1/4 mi [email protected] 11.03 60-130 9.74 0-130 12.73

    No. M7 and not a stock suspension. I think we're not going to come to an agreement here and that's ok.

    Of course it turns well. I should have been more specific. What I meant to say is pleasure in going down a twisty road. My C7Z07 with Z07 package turned out far higher Gs than my little JCW mini did, but the Mini was so much more rewarding.

    FWIW I went from a 2018 with AB to a 21 P3. The AB feels faster but is obviously not. The P3, as well all know, is a beast off the line and then dies. The AB is slower off the line but continues a still hard pull up to ~100. We all get used to acceleration. This is why everyone wants something...

    Tesla Service centers and dealerships now allowed in Vermont

    I was there a couple days ago for Cybertruck service. They are great! They also said selling to NH is in the plans but not sure on timing. As much as I love NJ, this is great news. 😂

    I’m not with them any more. I am writing a Cybertruck review for them so will ask next time I chat.

    For comparisons this is my best quarter mile time in my full stock 2021 P3 and to my knowledge it’s the record for full stock including stock wheels.
