@pierrelarsen Did you rerun the acceleration estimates with those burndown figures?

We put the Tesla Roadster through our physics sim:

0-60: 0.83 s
1/4 mile: 7.29 s @ 176 mph

This is a physics-based simulation not just a render. Race it yourself: https://t.co/1D1nR8WIub

@pierrelarsen Are you assuming 80 kN constant thrust from the cold gas thrusters? If so, for how long?

The McMurtry Spéirling makes 2,000 kg of downforce from its fans at 0 mph. Here's a full Laguna Seca lap from the driver's seat.

Fully simulated in 3D using Motor Matchup

@minusYCore 2 sources, stacked:

Fans: a constant 3,700 lb (1x the car's weight), drawing about 80 kW. I read Tesla's "2+ g cornering 0-50 mph" as 1x weight.

Wing: grows with speed squared, about 330 lb at 60 mph, 925 lb at 100, and 3,700 lb at 200.

Total: ~7,400 lb at 200 mph

@minusYCore Good question... ran the experiment locally using the same simulation:

@minusYCore Thanks! Updated on the site

Physics sim has the new Tesla Roadster Performance trim at a 8.00s flat 1/4 mile (~1.5 sec 0-60) beating the current fastest production car (Rimac Nevera R).

Race it yourself https://t.co/vGyDmWmuFy

Thruster versions coming soon!

3D Motor Matchup is now available for premium users! This is early access for now and will become generally available for all users in the coming months. This has taken many months of development and includes engine sounds, UX revamps, and more! https://t.co/Gsn1inzHkl

Developing in 3D is fun

BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme is a 7 second car 🤯

- 5 kWh used to do a 1/4 mile in ~7.9 seconds
- 80 kWh Battery -> Empty in 2 minutes at full power
- Can recover ~8% of charge stopping from 310 -> 0

Race it on Motor Matchup: https://t.co/d2JiL9eCuU

The new ZR1X is no joke

@timmartin344 What car?

[Motor Matchup @MotorMatchup]

After some time away, we're back with Motor Matchup updates! The Nevera R is absurdly fast https://t.co/q12DJ7pNjg

Old Model 3 60-130 time is 12 seconds*

[Motor Matchup @MotorMatchup]

Model 3 Performance: New vs Old
1/4 mile: 10.9 sec | 11.4 sec
0-60mph: 2.8 sec | 3.0 sec
60-130mph: 9.2 sec | 11 sec

@wholemars As an owner what are you building? Why do you care about Tesla’s APIs?

[Motor Matchup @MotorMatchup]

@wholemars Do they? In relation to who? Ford? Sure, but why does an automakers API quality matter? Is the average consumer a developer who is going to utilize it?
