I'm not forgetting it.
I don't mention it much because Tesla themselves, at least to my knowledge, never quoted a trap speed.
But no, I'm not forgetting it.
Typically a 10 second pass requires a sub 7 second 1/8 mile and an 1/8 mile trap speed of just over 100mph.
But this car apparently changes the rules a bit.
I have to think long and hard to recall so many mid to low 11 second quarter mile times with sub 120mph trap speeds.
I didn't see as much of that until I started looking at Tesla P85D and P90D quarter mile times.
So to me that's odd too.
However more to your points about the trap speeds, and I think this is overlooked.
The speeds the rags are measuring are with GPS.
Drag strip trap speeds are measured over the last 66ft.
Or better put an area starting 66ft before the finish line.
If you ever look at your speedometer going through the traps, it almost always reads higher than the trap speed on your time slip.
This is the reason why I don't think that anyone is ever going to see a 123 mph "trap speed".
Because "trap speed" isn't what the rags were measuring.
However the time slips we have, do measure that speed in the traps.
So the velocity is measured one way by the rags and another way at the track. The rags look at the speed that the car was traveling when it covered a quarter mile of distance.
The track measures the speed that the car was traveling 66ft in front of the finish line, to the finish line.
I know that you and many of the others here are familiar with a drag strip layout.
But for the benefit of those who may be unfamiliar with what I'm talking about this links to a diagram.
It's that last 66ft where trap speed is measured.
And the average speed that the car was traveling between those two points is what is on the time slip.

A final point. The fastest trap speed that we have from the link I gave to Sorka is 118.95 mph.
The motor Trend GPS speed was 122.7 mph.
The difference is 3.75 mph. If you do a little research, you'll find that a difference like this is not unheard of.
