The INSANE Engineering of the New Tesla Plaid Model S

Elon Musk touched on some secrets behind the Plaid Model S during Tesla's reveal of the new vehicle. the Model S Plaid will contain breakthrough innovations and insane engineering design, in areas such as the Carbon Sleeved Rotors, and a refreshed user interface. Tesla brings in new software with Auto Shift that uses machine learning AI to guess your driving direction. Model S sports an AMD RDNA 2 processor which gives it PS5 level power, and speaking of power, the car has a perfect power curve for ultimate acceleration, 1000 horsepower, and a top speed of 200+ miles per hour. Find out what else Plaid Model S has hidden in store.

What is your favorite engineering breakthrough that's coming with the Plaid Model S, and do you think it will dominate the luxury market? Be sure to check out our other videos:

By far the best coverage of the model S plaid that I’ve seen. 👍

[andrewpaulhart]

Engineering prowess and ambition are the fundamentals that set Tesla apart. And these come directly from Elon’s personal priorities

2 years ago I would drive into Vancouver and I might see 1 or 2 Teslas in a day. Just last week I drove into Vancouver and saw Teslas all over. Once I saw 3 Teslas in a row. They're all over the place. Phenomenal growth. More to come.

You can upgrade to the FSD option after the vehicle has been delivered, so it's not an issue for the tax credits.

Thank you! This was the best coverage of the Model S Plaid that I’ve seen so far. Very informative.

If Tesla's rollout of the CSRs (carbon-sleeved rotors) is like other performance-related features, they've left significant unlocked potential, providing headroom to crank up the top speed, etc., and will gradually unlock more once they've gained a body of real-world experience.

If this is Model S then imagine Roadster 🔥

[Yahudikiwi]

Wow!! 0.208 drag coefficient - insane 👍👍👍👍

Elon said that the Manufacturing capability could be improved by a factor of 10 which is amazing and would cut car costs to a point where they would be the only manufacturer able to survive the transition to EV’s. Other components like Software and styling will continue to evolve in a more linear fashion but if manufacturing of batteries and autos can be done add 1/3 the cost of any other company in the world it’s game over for the competition.

I was thinking how outdated other interiors will look and then you said exactly that. Love that Tesla is a U.S. company.

[Maadhawk]

My only real gripe with Elon and Tesla at this point now, and it is a growing one, is his stance on right to repair. If his company would only embrace a repair friendly position and business model, there would honestly be nothing to blemish them, except when Elon says something dumb, but hey he is human and that can be allowed.

Damn. This thing will smoke the Tycan.

[yawg]

Great content. Thanks for your efforts

Cant wait for the stocks to Really Take Off.

At this point, they aren't even judging tesla on the present, they're stuck in the past.

Well carbon itself can handle extreme heat. But one important thing to remember is that the resin used does melt long before the carbon itself so that is why we don't see entire carbon fiber exhaust systems ie on sportsbikes. Due to the heat in the exhaust gases, only that pipe on the end of the exhaust system can be made of carbon fiber. Because if you tried to make an entire exhaust system in carbon fiber the resin would melt and soon you would be driving without any exhaust system. Electric motors themselves are heat restricted. Too high temperature will render magnets useless. Even the highest quality magnets can only withstand around 200 degress celsius (iirc) or 220 ish C, and that is more or less in line with what the resin in carbon fiber can take of heat.

One frustration with many of the videos discussing the refreshed 2021 Model S is the fact that they almost always address the vehicle as the “Plaid”. Clearly, there are some unique features that are available in the Plaid only (the motors being a prime example), but what other features are included in both the Plaid and Long Range models. Heat pumps for example.

[jameshoffman]

Quibbles: There's no steel casing around the rotor, which is built up of numerous thin steel sheets stacked along the axis. (The carbon sleeve is a significant departure from the prior mechanical design.) These thin sheets themselves provide the tensile strength against centrifugal forces. Also, I think that all three motors in the Model S are IPMSynRM (Internal Permanent Magnet Synchronous Reluctance Motor) - they combine the effects of the reluctance geometry of the steel rotor body with those of permanent magnets embedded within that body under the influence of the rotating magnetic field generated by the changing current in the stator coils.
