This was just posted about a half an hour ago. 10.6 @ 126mph was the fastest time. There was also an 11.0 and 10.9 in there. Doesn't seem as consistent as I would have expected. He seemed to think some sort of 500 mile break in restriction was holding the car back for the 11.0 run... 10.6 and 10.9 look like later runs.

First run was an 11.5 if I remember right, turns out he had it in what he called "battery mode"... I'm guessing he means Charge+. Just interesting as it gives an idea of the reduced performance in Charge+.

Didn’t watch the whole thing, but did he say what the timer said his 0-60mph was on this run? 1.54 is a good 60’ on 300tw runflats, my old manual NA C5 FRC did a 1.49 and 4.38 in the 330’ though that was only a 2.7 0-60mph.

He's running convertible and standard rims. Hoping my coupe with carbon fiber rims cuts a 10.5. I was under the impression there was a limitation on launch control until 1500 miles. 500 on engine.

People say C8's limit torque up to 500 miles, but I've never seen any sort of dyno test that proves it.

The 1500 mile stuff is just the manual saying to wait until then until you do certain things (tracking, basically). But everything works at any mileage.. the car doesn't hold back launch control or anything else.

PRE-Z06

I could see the lighter coupe and CF wheels being worth a tenth, looking forward to your results! Waiting to abuse the clutches is recommended as you want them bedding in for the best holding power, I’d say doing a lot of starting/stopping and manual shifting could speed up that suggested mileage.

A YouTuber posted a video of an eray last week on the dyno started at 498 miles with dyno runs with a couple after 500 miles. Was roughly 20hp if I remember right difference. Not much.

1.548 is a great 60' time, I would love to see how it does on unprepped streets.

My best in my Porsche 911 Turbo S on unprepped streets with 560 treadwear all-seasons is 1.61 60' leading to a 6.82@102.89 1/8th.

Where the E-ray is not performing well is after he 1/8th, that 6.78@102.59 should have equated to a 10.44@128.23, it is losing 0.2 and 2mph on the back half of the run.

I think the E-ray is built to be a perfect street car for 0-60s and occasional 1/8th sprints. Wish it sounded like the C8 Z06.

I think that's about right.......10.40s 128-130 with 655 hp. We just have to realize 10.40s is flying straight off the showroom floor. Now we are looking for consistency

This place got 10.4 in the Eray testing it in this video.

PRE-Z06

It seems like it makes more than 15hp less than the Z06 based on trap speeds.

Are these times/mph actual or corrected for weather?

Christ i did not know the lucid air dream was that fast lol

Z0Sick6

My buddy Larry has one. We had 4 people in the car and made a Tuned Turbo S look like a Corolla from a stoplight lol

smithers

Dragtimes did a recent video with one. Ran an 8.9 if I remember right lol. I think at some point we will see regulation making these EVs not be so crazy. Not my thing but holy **** they can move

Z0HS1CK

That's the sapphire. The dream is a tier lower i believe.

I just didn't know they were that fast. I thought they were high 10s. And the grand touring is like low 11s i think.

I'm waiting for a redesign of the model s plaid. Then i'm getting that.

I only did a 24 month lease on my model y performance. Still damn quick 0-100. For a daily, nothing beats a fast EV.

Fore58

I have seen them run 9.0s at our track, Bradenton Motorsport Florida. Definitely slighly faster than the Tesla Plaid.

Z0HS1CK

I must've gotten the models mixed up.

The dream has 1,111hp lol. No wonder it's fast.

This test shows the plaid beating it by 10mph though. So perhaps SOC was a factor.

CDNZR

I am anxiously waiting for the new Highland M3P or what ever they will call it to be released. It may run in the mid 10s I think or it should? I don’t think Elon will let Ioniq 5 N out pace it?
As for the New Plaid, he will take the crown back from the Lucid Air Sapphire.

Z0HS1CK

YEah some people say it will be called a model 3 plaid but i think it'll be called a ludicrous. I don't think they'd make it as fast as a model s long range though which runs 10.6.

I had a model 3. Great car but too small to daily. And i'm not even a big guy. The model y is the perfect size. If they make a model 3 ludicrous i hope they do the same for the y but then again the y is mainly geared towards a family car first than anything else so i doubt it.

I'll wait for the model s plaid redesign. Then probably a year or 2 after that, elon will drop the price again to 86k

Possibly 8 second daily driver on the way lol

Hmm, definitely don't want Charge plus! That is if Tracking and the car forces the rear wheels to charge the battery more for the next corner etc. But only when not using the LT2 power getting to the rear wheels, i.e. braking or less than WOT in a turn etc. As Tadge ha said, although your foot may not be at WOT the by-wire throttle operation will use whatever extra to push the front wheels turned generator. Tadge in the Jay Leno video said it can generate almost the same as output of 160 hp as a generator. As he noted if used going back to the pits it would recover that used in the run! That is ~160 hp coming from the LT2! So if the return trip is using 50 hp to get back to the pits the LT2 is putting out than 50 + ~125 to power the front wheels turned generator.

Granted I'm for from a drag strip time slip. But my cousin was visiting for the week. He has a Porsche Carrara 2S, mechanical AWD (traded his older Vette.) Still only have ~1000 miles so my 0 to 60 tests were without launch control. Won't use until I have ~1500 mils. Slipping two clutches at Launch, can't be great for the DCT.

Did two runs with both 2.8 seconds. Again all my tests are on the street, good road, no traffic. Then as I had done on my 1st 2.5 second run put heat in the tires. It was an 85F day so should be better than the previous 75 when I was only one in the car. Accelerated rapidly in Z-Mode (power set to track) and braked aggressively putting heat in the tires. Followed with a test (using the dash 0 to 60 timed test counter) immediately after the stop. With his additional ~190 lbs 2.5! He was impressed as it pushed him back in his seat! When I reach ~1500 miles will use launch control and run another test.

Totally subjective on my part but my launch appeared more aggressive that in the video for the 1st half second.
