1/4 Mile Drag Strip: 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance - 9 Runs in all Modes

Ok, considering I'm looking for a performance vehicle that I wanna keep for many years. I have 2 choice, EV or ICE. The problem is, I invest 54k usd on this Tesla. Make some mods because I wanna save weight and I do want ceramic brakes. So I invest about 80-90k in total. Now I consider a slightly used 2018-2019 911 4S PDK with ceramic brakes, that car is no slouch, 1/4 mile 11.5 @ 122 (same trap speed than the model 3, so slower under 100 mph but faster above 130 mph, I call it a tie). That car is about 80-90k used, but it's porsche certified so I should be fine for the next years. But what will happen in 10 years? Well the tesla is likely to be valued maybe 15-18k usd with the battery level at maybe 75-80% if I still live in a mild weather scenario. The porsche is likely to still be above 45k usd, just look for the price of a 2008 997 4s with ceramic brakes. Will I spend about 30k of maintainance, gasoline and porsche premium? Honestly, I don't think so.

[@ElMistroFeroz]

@@karlk.6819 Stick with the Porsche. As you watch it sitting on your driveway while obsessing about what the market thinks it's worth, you'll have the comfort of believing that if you're ever completely broke you can liquidate it for more $$ than a Model 3. Plus you'll be able to pay back for all that mainteance you spent on it for the past 10 years, and insurance costs, and have some cash left over to make ends meet for a couple of months until you get back on your feet again. Edit: Disregard. After doing some more math it turns out that by comparison, for 75-80% degradation of a Model 3 battery, your Porsche would had accumulated 250-300K miles at least. And I guarantee you right now, no one will pay you $45K for a Porsche with that many miles on it (and I'm not even considering the meticulous expensive care you'd have to run it under to keep it in one piece at that milage) so you better be planning on that emergency fund right now for when you need to get back on your feet. I hope this helps. Edit Edit: Listen to this - assuming your unicorn 250K+miles Porsche is @ 30 mpg, those 250K miles are 8,333 gallons. Let's say you're cheap and also live on a state where 88 octane gas is $3 per gallon, that's about $25K on fuel alone, where an M3 is at least 3X as efficient. Do you get the point now or should I continue? Because I'm just getting started.

[@ElMistroFeroz]

​@@karlk.6819 Let's look at that Porsche while comparing it to a 75-80% battery degraded Model 3: The Porsche would have between 300-350K miles on the odometer by then. No one will pay you $45K for it, I guarantee you. And at that milage, you would wish you'd spent $30K on maintenance. Now if you're looking for a garage queen that's a different story, and a Tesla isn't meant for you anyway. These cars are meant to be driven.

[@ashegam]

FYI...for best performance you want your batteries nice and hot. with that said, Track mode cools your batteries, Insane mode slightly warms them up, for best results stay in Insane mode and plug in a charging destination so the car starts heating up your batteries (15-20 mins before your run). This will give you the best results. using this method people have ran 10.75s @ 125mph. Great content, I finally subscribed, keep it up.

[@Intervention302]

Sadly I can't control the weather. I'll go again when it's nicer out.

[@ashegam]

@@Intervention302 I think you misunderstood me. What I said has nothing to do with weather. When you set a charger as your destination to obviously go and charge your battery, the car starts heating up the pack for optimal charging when you get there. Plugging in a charging destination is fooling the car to heating the battery pack, even though you're not going there. If you do this 15-20 mins before you start your runs you'll get better performance since the car performs better on hot batteries rather than cold. Hope that helps. cheers.

I think you may have missed where I said I did that. That's why I was confused.

[@BillB33525]

Terrific job hitting the green lights. Yes, fantastic times for the money, I remember when a 13 second 1/4 mile was something to rave about!. Sounds like the battery holds up over the runs. The car is quiet and comfortable out on the highway as well! Finally, I bet Tesla engineers could program a dragstrip mode that would hit the green light with no delay, just for grins of course.

[@Intervention302]

The trick is to smash the throttle one or two ticks after seeing the 3rd amber. You absolutely have to smash it BEFORE seeing the green come on. If you wait to see green, you're behind. Average RT was 0.150 second for me. Quick for a regular dude, but not good enough to be a real racer. I never thought about that. Tesla could use it's Vision and AI and smash the throttle at 0.001 second. Now THAT would be interesting

[@zachmullins9444]

13 seconds was never something to rave about lol.

[@rodulfol]

I grew up in the early 80s when 14-second cars were something to rave about. 13-second cars were unheard of until the late 80s when the Grand Nationals showed up. In the 90s 13-second cars were more common but still considered very quick.

However the factory wheels are really nice. So I'll probably get some knock off 18s and make those the winters. The car will likely trap 1-2mph faster on 18s. My guess

[@Nate7700]

Cool to see you race up against other vehicles, nor much of that on youtube yet!

[@Intervention302]

Happy to provide

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

A trick is to "navigate to supercharger" to preheat battery. If you buy s3xy buttons or s3xy knob, you can activate battery heat and look at battery temp. You can then use a phone as a digital dash

[@Intervention302]

I did precondition the battery, I spoke about that, but didn't realize I edited it out. I preconditioned for 15 mins before the first run. That run ended up being the fastest of the day

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

@@Intervention302 ok, yes, the problem with track mode for dragracing is as you noticed: it cools too much. Optimal accelleration I think is around 40C +-. Track mode is more usefull for a track with curves, where you will generate more heat. But the car will cool off anyways after a pull 🙂

[@Supersprint27]

Thank you, you’ve just saved me a trip to the drag strip. Those ice cars you beat, the owners are now going to go off and spend huge dollars to catch up, or if they’re smart, they’ll just buy a M3P or MSP.

[@Doctorbasss]

For all EV, better battery performance mean better power for top SPEED. It wont affect so much the torque because torque depend on motor current limit and not battery current. That's why you can still get full torque at 5% SOC at low speed because rpm is not high enough to require full power yet. So a good warm battery will improve how long your torque can keep up during the acceleration. ( for exemple, double the speed for the same torque = double power. Resumé: The better the battery performance the better your full torque will be present at higher speed during acceleration. 😉 That's also why the 0-60ft is not affected by battery SOC... you can still get the same 60ft with a 100% battery than a 5% battery because the 60ft speeed is not high enough to require high kW to your battery because you are at low speed.

[@hndflights]

I drove a new Model 3 Performance and ended up with a Polestar 2 Performance. I bought the software upgrade for power on top of that. It's not as quick as a Model 3 but in every way, it's a better car...especially with the Ohlins. If the Polestar wasn't so heavy, it would be quicker than the Model 3. Even as is, in mid-range it'll keep up easily but it's just so well planted. The biggest reason was not performance however but the service. I'll never ever deal with Tesla service again.

[@ChosenMJ]

Plaids typically use 3% SOC on each 1/4 mile run consistently.

Also the Plaid has three motors so there are more motors pulling energy from the pack; the M3P only has two (new design) motors, if I remember correctly.
