That's very good range! Thank you.
(I am not ready to go EV. I love the acceleration, but I would miss the VROOM.)
The instant acceleration more than makes up for it. Checked the car and updated the mileage.when you go over 70 for long distances the range drops faster. The sweet spot is 65 to 70.
I heard about baby wipes and agree. The key is not to use a petroleum based product. FEIW I’ve owned the car since April and the seats are like the day I drive it off the lot.
Ron. Put your car next to mine and give yours all the vroom you want for almost $6.00/gallon and I will leave you so far behind so quickly that it will give you pause to reflect. The instant torque is nothing like the gradual acceleration with an ICE. The speed means nothing to me According to the Tesla app my wife and I have saved almost $1000 in gas in both our cars. Plus I have no electric bill each month. Vroom means nothing Ron when you try to compete against an EV. all be smiling at the waiting line finishing a soft drink waiting for you to finish.
I learned about Vroom very quickly the hard way when I still had my SL55 AMG with 508 bhp. I was at a stop light when a model S pulled up beside me as I had the vroom going on my car. He turned and smiled at me. Light turned green and instantly he was so far ahead of me that it was simply no contest FWIW later this year the model S will have a trimotor version same as the Plaid. My Model S and Model 3 Performance are both dual motor
I understand this fully. I know the acceleration is stunning.
That's why I distinguished between acceleration and VROOM (noise and vibration).
I loved mine as well Ron but living in California there is such a state incentive to go EV. I got a $7500 investment tax credit from the Fed and a $2000 check from the State. Vroom for me, with the cost of gas in California being the highest in the nation, quickly became meaningless.
The average horsepower of our four cars is 390hp. So our gasoline bills in Los Angeles are very high!
I drive on average 600 miles a week in a diesel car, if i get passed on the freeway by a EV, they normally pussy out inside the next 10 km because they may not make it home driving 150 km/h, but with the docile speeds you drive in the US it might work for you !
Maybe in Germany on the Autobahn which I have done, but driving over 90mph on many American roads is a recipe for disaster. Your “pussy out” may just be cautiousness.
Tesla model 3 weight 1611 kg 208 KW those are nice numbers for the money.
Good acceleration , model Y is 1780 kg
Ps If i want to have a " acceleration thrill " and great touring nothing beats a motorbike ( with good weather
)

I don't think it's fraud. It's wishful thinking. I recall I think, the Ford Mustang measuring way below it's' claimed specs. There are always sufficient disclaimers. Moreover, a professional driver over a closed course, probably could match the specs.
Even there we have progress the latest multis have radar sensors , you get flashing lights if a car comes to close .
