PS4S come standard.

Oh, so they already come with reasonably fancy tires. I didn't know what to expect.
I wonder how much better they can do with heated R-compound tires.

Track pack comes with Cup 2 tires.

I think he mentioned that package but said it was a huge premium for few options.

You should go for a test drive, report back, and use my referral code.

Can you even test drive them? I thought you just sort of bought them on your phone and waited! LoL!
What's a referral code earn you?

I don't think Tesla is right for me, but I would enjoy that "full tank" feeling every morning. EV's should promote that, more.

Are you sure he has the model 3 and not the model S? Seems odd to compare a model 3 to the Taycan Turbo.

Yeah, Tesla's are fast given the right conditions. They aren't epic at lower states of charge. During Covid, I have only been charging my cars to 60%. They basically bounce between 40-60% which is the happy place for longevity. I have yet to lose to anyone at a light even at that low state of charge. It is a noticeable drop in power though.

I don't know if the issue is battery chemistry, Voltage (Taycan runs higher voltage) or if they engineered power delivery like that to preserve the battery. It's definitely compromise. I think the Taycans compromise on range.

Is it charge level or heat that causes the massive degradation as shown in my link? And that’s not to say either of my vehicles are impervious to heat, the wagon is fairly noticeable but definitely not 3 seconds in the 1/4 mile noticeable (maybe 4mph in the 1/4). At 60% charge, i’d be curious on the differential in the 1/4 and 0-60.

Just free super charging miles for both of us. Mostly extend the expiry date on mine.

They let you take it for a drive at the store by yourself. On ramp to Glenmore then Blackfoot. Fun loop. They have the cars ready for you if you book an appointment. Never had anyone call me after I leave.

I have to find the article, but some guys did some testing a few months ago and the deterioration wasn't that bad.

Also. Turbo S should be compared against Plaid, which has an estimated 0-60 under 2.1. Performance S is about 2.5 and would line up against the Turbo.

Charge level in my experience. Here is a guy who launches 27 times in a row with no cool down time. Cooling isn’t an issue.



Here is testing that was done on early cars before the 5% power bump with another 5% power bump later again.

I’ve posted this before. https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors...0160_kmh_peak/

After the two power bumps, the Performance car should have around 580hp. There was some sneaky update of the car last month that makes it feel like the car has even more power, but I could be wrong.

There was an upgrade that increased fuel efficiency/range to match the 2021 EPA ratings but that wasn't advertised.

Low charge level on benyl’s model 3 performance made my e53 seem fast haha. Pretty much even from 60-200.

So my folks are in the market for a new midsize sedan and they are curious about the Model Y. Otherwise their top choice right now is the XC60 inscription.

I'm going to check out the Y in person next week but any feedback from existing owners? My parents are in their early 70s- would this be too 'techy' for them?

Tell them to buy the non-hybrid xc60 and save the 10 to 15 thousand difference.

Well that's the thing. We priced out the XC60 Inscription and it's $72K + tax , but $5.5K discount right now. Looks like the Model Y long range is only $70K+ tax.

The XC60 Hybrid is $86K+

[The_Rural_Juror]

Taycan is the only answer. It's going to be the beyond civic in a couple of years so you might as well get ahead of the curve. Volvo's owned by China now.

I'm hungover so I can't check my Marth. Maybe it was a lower trim level. Unless they really love the Tesla, I don't think they'll like it at all, ya know?

@ExtraSlow needs to drive a Tesla so he can trash talk it fo realz. Bring a GoPro to the test drive.
