I got the chance to race a Model S Plaid the other day. Here is a video for those of you that want to see how it compares to a Model 3 Performance. We did 3 passes but I got a little excited on the first one and dropped a couple F-bombs. So if you don't want to hear that skip to the 1 min mark...

I've found it really depends on the traffic as to how useful it is. It's really improved in the year that I've owned the car. But there are a few traffic conditions it's not good at and some it's awesome at. When traffic is relatively clear and flowing the auto lane change and navigate on...

I don't know where he's at but looking at the greenery in the background at his track I don't think I'm anywhere close. Lol.

I watched his video with i1 Tesla. That track is awesome definitely a lot more room than the go kart track I was on. But I never saw him go from a left to right slide. Which is where the issue is with the Tesla. It's just too heavy to get a good transition without a lot of speed. Some cheap...

Recently there was a drift event at a track I used to race supermoto at. So I decided to enter my Model 3 Performance in it. Going through tech was interesting. The guy checking the car's said he had no idea where to start and asked "what am I supposed to tech on this?". I planned on...

Just checking. My friend who got me interested in Tesla after a ride in his Model 3 Performance had a motorcycle he calls mongo.

Mongo do you have a motorcycle that you call "Mongo"?

Diagonally would probably work but doing that reduces the angle that the tie down straps have and can cause rubbing. I'm pretty sure it will sit flat just unsure if it will support the weight of the back half of a large motorcycle. The motorcycle wrought would be concentrated on a small area of...

A lot of that thread talks about the tailgates bending under the weight of a bike. The Tacoma also has the two cables supporting the tailgate. The solution that seemed to pop up was using a thick piece of plywood to reinforce the tailgate. I don't know if that will work on a tailgate that...

I've got my reservation in for a cybertruck and I currently have a Model 3 Performance. I really enjoy motorsports. My plan is to replace my model 3 with the cybertruck, and get a dedicated track car that I can tow to the track with the cybertruck. I also like taking my sportbike (Ninja H2 SX...

I'm not sure. I don't use track mode at the drag strip because it runs the A/C to cool the batteries and I don't want it to drip water on the track. Also I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not but I don't want it to affect acceleration. I know running the A/C has a noticeable effect on...

I get it, but they are still fun to do and most events I intended to go to have been canceled. It was nice to be able to race and there are not too many options to find a safe(ish) place to race on a surface that's never been prepped. A lot of the big tire cars had it powered up too much and...

My favorite is more directed to the performance model. "Its just fast for an electric car" Or "They're only fast up to 60mph" Or "Their only fast on 1/8 mile (or 1/4)" Or "They can't handle in the turns" Before riding in one I also was under the impression that they were just "fast for an...

The 2nd race.

I entered in a street style race at the local dragstrip. Basically they run the races starting at the finish line of the drag strip and race an 1/8th mile down the shutdown area. Do it's run on asphalt that has never been prepped. So it's the closest you can get to racing on the street without...
