I checked Bjorn Nyland vids on YT during his 1000km challenge with the Plaid and battery was at 56.5C with 1C outside temp (winter) on 10-50% charges, so it looks like this is normal for a Plaid... Super hot but I guess okay for Supercharging... I only supercharge a handfull of times each year...

Precision. 95F outside temp and long charging sessions (20% to 90%)

Hi guys, First time leaving on a long trip with the Plaid. I have Scan My Tesla on my phone. I notice the car is running the battery hot all the time in summer while normal driving (no active cooling before 104F and maintains this temperature, sport mode or Plaid mode does not change anything)...

No disrespect but this was slow AF... If this is a top #5 time, the Porsche club in question is only 85+ year old members that can't drive anymore... Which honestly is mostly the case in real life...When my buddies from local AutoX club or me are participating to those Porsche events there is...

We really hear the tires locking up in the video though, which is concerning... If someone shows the skid mark, Tesla will be in a world of trouble...

Do it if you are okay losing 40K the first year...

CT issue is also that at same price range the Silverado EV has 450 miles of real world range...

The FB groups I follow, None of the guys who got their reservation email converted to an order for the FS. The CT is way too expensive at regular price already, so a FS is even worse. Let's not forget the FS will NEVER be a collector, zero chances. Unless being an impatient baby (there are a lot...

Your choice. Does not mean it's the more financially sound. I track cars competitively (I have also a full race specs C7 Z06 that holds some lap records on local tracks) and enjoy modifying myself my cars. I always look at best price/performance ratio and carefully review all options. Some...

It's hard to justify 20K for the track pack though... Especially when the car battery and motors will overheat in 5min and will require a cool down, which will also allow to cool the brakes... In that regard, spending 3K on MPP disks + $700 on pads + few hundreds more on brake lines and master...

👍

On my end so far I have Carbotech XP12 Front/Rear and there is a massive braking improvement. I'm planning to do MPP "Big Fella' 400mm kit on mine. However the Carbotech Pads and good fluid (RBF600) are already very good for AutoX. They will be insufficient for roadcourse though, that's why...

If you were running 19's you would probably get it... From your profile pictures you are on the 21's that are heavy as F*** On a Plaid 19's vs 21's is worth 2-3tenth

Maybe to avoid getting into prison after driving at 130mph on the street... ^^

This is how much roll my Plaid with MPP solid bushings takes on 285 RE-71RS 200TW AutoX tires.

N2Tive .. Super expensive for what it is though

Honestly looks super good. Mine is white with the tempest painted in gloss black. Looks mean, the stance looks really wide. Those pics were before my alignment update (more camber) and additional lowering in front.

Talking about wheels tire efficiency, I have an example with huge impact on my Plaid... - 255/45-19 and 285/40-19 Continental Procontact RX with Tempest without aero covers and 20mm Bonoss spacers all around and lowering links at -6 = 260Wh/mi average on my daily work commute - T-Sportline TSF...

The M3 Competition Xdrive is 4000Lbs or close and carries 275 front and 285 rear. 4000 Lbs is heavy..

I listened to his driving comments and his comments made total sense vs my opinion of previous Model 3. Previous one needed square 265 or 275 to have enough front grip for any kind of track/AutoX driving. Suspension/weight is the same minus shocks on this one, so this remark with stay true

They don't want it to beat the cyberbeast ^^

There was other runs on dry pavement and it was the same 11.0@123 In perfect conditions, probably will do 10.8s (like on a strip)@124mph Kyle was saying car is under tired in the front which it has to be with only 235 like the old one there. Was also saying bushing were a little too soft for a...

Your Z was probably an auto and stock suspension. Because I drove the top hot hatches from Europe/JP (Renault Megane 3 RS 275 CUP, Type R, 147 GTA etc ) for several years and were miles better than a Mini and a M7 Z is miles ahead in all departments including fun.

Not this much. It shows 1.2G acceleratuing and braking which is normal for a Plaid on good tires. In corners the sustained G's are 1.2G. The peaks at 1.6G are really short and not "real" load, just sustained for a few tenth during a quick change of direction

285/35-20 Brigestone RE71-RS Front and Rear. I would need wider all around, like 315...

Just for info, the Plaid turns extremely well and is in fact considerably faster than a Model 3 P even on tight AutoX. With my previous M3 with full coilvers, MPP suspensions, and 200TW I was 1.5s behind the GT3 in raw. With the Plaid we are trading blows and my Plaid is nearly stock, and...

Light driver (165 Lbs) PS4S on aero wheels MPP page Mill brakes and MPP suspension parts (lots of front camber) Good alignment Lowered 20mm on coilcovers Battery at 95F 3 runs at same time and speed on different lanes.

I did a full custom alignment and installed the rear XP12 Did local AutoX event today and the car was really good. Way faster than my previous Model 3. I did left foot braking the whole day and man it makes a difference on this car... The brakes were amazing with the XP12 pads F/R I fought...

My boosted 2021 LR was doing [email protected]

There is still this massive drop after 45-50 mph... That's pretty disapointing...

Your reasoning is not sound at all, it is absolutely wrong. This basic physics and you visibly skipped newtonian physics classes :) (or you forgot ^^)

Don't know... I see around 3.5-4.0s for 60-95 which is not terribly fast...

Looks like it's pulling quite good after 60 !

You guys talking about power figures... You keep talking about battery max power... battery max power is not motors max power... You have losses in the inverters and motors, especially at full power. Tesla probably announces power to the wheels. Probably 90% of the battery power goes to the...

You know that Plaid's are starting to win national AutoX events right ? My almost stock Plaid is pulling 1.4-1.5G in corners already on RE71-RS...

So I learned that the Plaid is having bumpsteer issues at the rear especially when lowered. MPP rear arms set is adjustable to eliminate this. Looks like a rear bracing behind the back seats improves a lot the rigidity of the car...

Yeah not with the camber I was running, which was tucking the top of the wheels under the wheel arches despite the spacers.

I was doing 235wh/mi average last summer with PS4S. 227wh/mi on a 230miles trip. Car lowered and running -3deg of camber front though.

Hello, I do not see a thread for Roadcourse/AutoX modification for the Tesla Model S Plaid. We start to see some guys in time attack and AutoX with VERY fast Plaids winning events. I'm just started to do AutoX this week end with the car. I'm planning to do a few events on roadcourse with the...

I was running MPP Page Mill disks in standard M3P sizes (355mm) + M3P calipers and Bonoss 15mm spacers on mine with Aero wheels for every day use absolutely no problem. No grinding necessary at all. I know that the MPP disks are slightly different than the standard ones (and way better heat...

The brakes look exactly the same diameter, disk and caliper than previous gen. Just a pad change. Lots of 18's will fit, even the aero. I was able to fit 18's aero on MPP 355mm disks and P calipers with a 15mm spacer.

241 pages arguing about the 0-60 ... This is crazy...

Looks like the new off road mode works quite good...

It's exactly the same brakes at previous gen, so the 18's will fit with 15mm spacers... Only difference is a better brake pad compound

Hi, Waiting on my ODB port for my 21 Plaid with 37,000 miles, so I cannot use scan my tesla for now... Was curious, did Tesla update the EPA range for all Plaids (21-24) to show less range or is it only showing on 24's. Asking because mine shows 291-294 miles of range @80%. Would be okay with...
