FIRST PRIVATE TESLA S PLAID ON NURBURGRING!!

Here we go!

This time i bringed my personal TESLA MODEL S PLAID for a ride on the mother Nordschleife!

This is the first public session of 2023, not optimal condition as you can see with dirty track due to the race day before and little rainy on some part of the track, only 8°c outside temperature aswell
So very very gentle lap just for testing it

So what can i say?….well as expected the car is AMAZING, offcourse it was not a fast lap but we can feel the potential of the car here and most importantly the car feel easy, well balanced and safe, which is super important on the Nordschleife

The car not overheated during the lap as we can experience on the model 3, anyway the battery pack became red after the third lap, even with this limp mode we have something like 500hp, so enough for continuing driving around on the track and overtaking 90% of the cars here :-)

No problem with the brake as you can see, i had a constant brake feeling during the all test (10 laps on total) but i upgraded it, see below the spec of the car

Spec of the car:

Tesla model S plaid in track mode at 95% soc

50% FRONT 50% REAR traction repartition

60% brake regeneration

traction control off

Micehlin Ps4s stock on stock wheels

Brake pads carbotec xp 10 on MOUNTAIN PASS PERFORMANCE front and rear 408mm (original Tesla brakes calipers) RBF 650 brake fluids, work as same as Tesla carbon ceramic brakes!! a very good brake package for under 6000euros!!

The sound is the best!

Right, there IS no sound - great!!!

Most beautiful race circuit in the world ... and enjoying it on the backseat of an EV just hearing the wind noises was a spiritual experience underplayed with beautiful music which fitted perfectly to the atmosphere. Elegance and sportiveness does not need the roaring exhaust pipe of a highly tuned combustion engine. No doubt the future is EV.

watched in one breath. no noise, no distractions... just you and the road.

How practical is the steering halfwheel for such occasions?

[AZBMWS]

Any particular reason for frequently stopping your acceleration right at 200kph, with so much power and so much room in front of you? Battery conservation?

[DanielSadjadian]

Great drive. How are the brakes on the Plaid, any fade or overheating? Does it come with carbon ceramics now?

[petertaylor]

There should be noise. It's incredibly well engineered and very fast but there's no joy in watching this because you just think it will never break, catch fire or scare you and ultimately that's what it's about. They could make this so you couldn't crash and then what's the point. 550mph on an airplane is not exciting because your comfortable quiet and safe and that's what this is

[Botniasolutions]

Did you make you own spacers for Calipers to fit the large 408mm disc? :)

[nikotv]

What did he do when he pressed the gearbuttons in the centerconsol @ 2.10min ish, so secret teslasauce🤷‍♂️

[nived]

I heard the brakes are terrible on plaid models. Is it true??

[SankarshanGhosh]

Great video, just hate the fact that your thumbs were not comfortably placed somewhere throughout the lap.

[hubbibubbir]

8:19 BTG slow....Laptime BTG 8:21 E36 325i...

[coolerw]

And this is it! Quiet killer! Quiet and effective! The sound of silence! I hate roaring engines in motorsport, emotions are in the tracks, curves, perfection.

[ВахапетВахапетович]

It's seems the same as driving tamagochi.

[Hipster]

It seems like only having half a steering wheel may be inhibiting your potential.

Car looks quick and it was being well driven, but I was to bored to watch all of it. The Tesla fanboy comments on the other hand? Always the most entertaining thing about any Tesla video. They’re like that kid in Jurassic Park who has one dinosaur book arguing with a palaeontologist.

[sentnex]

you're going 180-220km/h what if some1s faster than you is trying to overtake... fuck the rear view camera, around each corner do a quick mirror check, drive safe! this is where deadly accidents can happen, using all the width of the road to hit corners at high speed without checking mirrors. Have a look at camera inside F1 drivers helmets, they check mirrors like every 2-4 sec. No toxic shit, just an advice and my opinion. Good Luck, look after yourself

[CHAs]

Cam is misplaced, a lot of the interesting view is blocked.

[u.e.u.e.]

Why the music overlay? 🤦‍♂️
Couldn't we just enjoy the natural noise of the car? 🤷‍♂️

[dominikbrkic]

That was kinda slow. For that much hp top speed is seriously low.
