I am stoked and excited to order my Plaid. I was a Plaid+ reservation holder and really wanted the longer range with the 4680 battery pack. But the tech and improvements in the Plaid convinced me that I can live with the Plaid. Thanks Zac and Jesse for bringing me to that decision.

[markpaddey]

Love nerding out on this stuff with you guys. Thanks Zac and Jesse!!

[coffeebeanninja]

Jesse, you had me at "they outmotored motor companies".

[kkidd]

because I watched your video last night, i could not fall back asleep--stayed up late!...BUT it's Friday, so then I can sleep tonight.. thanks for posting!

[tomtom]

no need to see the whole video. the guy just said it in One sentence "they outmotor motor companies....now thats insane!" 👍

[Mars.and.Cars.]

Haahha Fat Lady Sandy "Living legend" Munro will be flattered by your mention guys :D Cant wait for him to take it apart and for you to interview him again soon. Such great event we saw last night. Hopefully gear heads get at least a bit exited with this amazing futuristic motor!

7:07 this should be Tesla's new Forward Collision Warning sound

[KyleHubb]

"It's an accident waiting to happen".

LOL! Thank you for that honest remark.

[Lmaluko]

How fast a battery can charge is also due to thermal management so if they have a bigger radiator it stands to reason that it will be able to charge faster.

Tesla`s progression in their cutting edge tech is great but my 2 favorite progressions in their EVs are the increased production and lower prices ...

[robertfrancis]

The engineers let slip that each motor could produce 400 horse power (3 x 400 = 1200). When asked about the 1000 horse power, the engineer said it was limited by the battery. In the future...

[jessekoehler]

Dude that one second clip of your motors would explode and seeing a car with explosions at the wheel was so cool. Like I know the motors are there but so many years of engine under the hood makes it so unusual for that explosion location. Cool

[RobertHamon]

I agree, great job on handling that live stream Jesse

[michaelh]

Hi guys, I got to see you last night live for my first time, thank you both for staying up so late. Job well done!

[patrickbateman]

Guys. I think the waypoints are in the new UI. If you go back and watch the video on the bottom screen was a waypoint icon.

[phillipburns]

Tesla should buy ABetterRoute Planner then they will have Waypoint and More

[denzazaitsev]

I have a gx61 toyota cresta 1983 had a factory aux plug has digital dash, and all electric everything japanese were doing some crazy stuff back then, but the aux plug in blew my mind

[jakeacim]

Are the carbon sleeved rotors and the new heat pump in the Model S Long Range also?

[roryreddog]

18650's have a way shorter jelly roll so can charge and discharge faster, the big change is the huge heat exchanger snd HVAC system so you can keep lapping 🤞🤞🤞

[floster]

Hi Zac and Jessy,
I saw in the owners manual of the new Model S that the nominal Voltage is 450V. Old was 300-350V. Model 3 is 360V. So indeed the pack architecture must have changed somehow, even it uses the old 18650 format. Maybe you can address it somehow.
This could inpact the charging also as well as less build up heat by power usage and recuperation.
Regards,
Florian
