Real-world Gen2 R1 Quad Max acceleration

[JamboF4]

Has there been data gathered for 0-60 and 1/4 mile for just pinning the pedal in a Quad Max WITHOUT using Auto Launch or having sport street tires? I’d wager 2.8-ish .but that’s just a WAG. $120K for .3-.4 seconds less than R1 seems a touch steep…but my guestimate could be wrong. Thanks all!

MKBHD had a bunch of runs in the quarter mile at a drag strip, about half where he was in launch mode, and half where it wasn't. tl'dr: noticeably faster in launch mode, IIRC 10.6ish, without launch mode maybe a second slower?

R2? There has been no talk or hint of any plans for a quad motor R2. Tri for sure has been talked about, at concept reveal, as the high trim.

I think you’re referring to a Gen 2 R1 Quad, correct?

If so, check out the MKBHD video as stated earlier. He drag races the Gen 2 R1T Quad accidentally without Launch Mode a couple of times in the video.

Thx ElGuano…that’d be my guess too.

I was allowed to flog a gen 2 quad LE R1S yesterday, and it was disappointingly "slow" and squirrely. A lot less stable than the truck, which I'd also experienced with a G1 loaner quad. So all of the data needs to specify truck or SUV. The higher weight and shorter wheelbase of the SUV add up to be far less pleasant to me.
