So… the hypothesis is that every plaid driver is out there doing 9 sec 1/4 miles every single day? Bizarre.

Agree but the quote you posted states otherwise.

Clearly Misha was impressed and happy with the track pack the second time around. Why only print the commentary from his first drive?

I have yet to track my non-track pack plaid yet but will track it at least once just to see how it does. My regular track car is a 911 gt3 and I’ve tracked and instructed for over 20 years. So this isn’t first hand experience but here’s what I’m expecting/planning: - mostly tracking the car...

Something to remember, UV rejection is not infrared rejection. Infrared is what carries heat, not UV. Almost all automotive glass now has UV blocking already. That said, on my 2021 refresh, both my roof and windshield were tinted with 3M crystalline 80% and I never notice heat coming...

If you think you’re so much smarter than the Tesla FSD engineers, please go work there. I guarantee that they will compensate you far better than your current job to illuminate them with your intelligence. No? Then stop second guessing the engineers who are and have been working on this...

Very odd mix of truth and hyperbole. I’m also a track instructor. 20+ years. My other car is a 911 GT3. I’ve driven an incredibly wide variety of cars on track. Yes. The Plaid is heavy and you can’t trick physics. Yes. Your Hyundai accent probably does change direction easier...

Lol, like I said. Controversial. To be clear… people are entirely missing my point here. That’s fine. Let’s move on.

Not for me. Neither has their EV game sorted yet. Still too much “EV on an ICE chassis” although they’ve made progress.

That’s the point actually. Why spend money on rear camber arms unless you know you’re going to wear through tires? A set of rear tires isn’t that expensive and are literally a wear item.

I’ve got a 911 991.2 GT3 and an S Plaid. Completely different horses for completely different courses. The S Plaid is a fantastic toaster. It’s the perfect daily driver appliance, in my opinion. I enjoy tapping into the silent and brutal acceleration here and there, but mostly value it’s...

I don’t see why you would need or want track mode for the canyons given how you drive now. Regular old “normal” plaid mode will be more than sufficient.

This might be controversial but I would just wait and see. There's a ton of variability in Model S tolerances because the car was designed when Tesla really didn't know what they were doing. That means some cars have issues with tire wear and some don't. I'm 15K miles in on a Plaid running...

Please tell me what I lied about. You are being snarky. That’s fact, not criticism. I have not tried to silence you, in fact encouraging you to criticize more. Just do so factually. Please tell me what you stated that I commented on that was factual.

No need for snark. For what it’s worth, you’ll get similar responses at bmw, porsche, benz, et al. It’s not helpful to criticize Tesla inaccurately. There are plenty of things to criticize Tesla for that are true. FUD about warranty claims just distracts from the real issues.
