    Plaid DIY measure rear toe

    I did mine with a string, race ramp blocks and jack turrets to hold the string, after returning to stock arms for a track package installation. I reinstalled my camber arms and adjusted both camber and toe at home. Track is the same both front and rear if you measure from the center cap. as you...

    Plaid Drag Racing - Not such a great night

    I got a 2022 with similar weight reduction and did 9.22@152 last week on the current software update. So, it hasn't been tapered. New did 9.39@150 on 21's.

    Plaid Drag Racing - Not such a great night

    I think the battery pack it's at the edge and not able to support any more power. Motors are capable of 932 KW or 1267 Horses, but the Amps required for a power increase in conjunction with the 400-v architecture, are not up to the task. Thats why with some battery degradation, ours loses some...

    Plaid Drag Racing - Not such a great night

    The issue is Drag strip mode is optimized for 1/4 mile ET but they raced to the 1/2 mile, hence the top speed limit is 162 MPH. If you are running a half mile, you need to be on track mode which is the only mode that has a 174 MPH limit without the track package. They should have tested in the 2...

    Plaid Drag Racing - Not such a great night

    Not only they didn't test a track package, but they also went to the 1/2 mile without using track mode and everybody talks about how worthy is the $250k price tag compared even to the $89k Plaid. BS - I'll buy a Plaid and a Cayman GT4 for track use for the same price.

    2024 Model S vs. Plaid

    I literally did 6 consecutives 1/2-mile hits just to prove some people this. Recovery time was what it took to turn back online. All hits to 174 Mph without any fade or warnings. I upgraded to the CCB just to increase the limiter as it was toping at 174 before completing the 1/2, now is power...

    I'm going to be odering a Plaid S and I'm requesting opinions of anyone who has the track pack ceramic brake upgrade

    Yes. I just got the CCB on 21" and tested to the half mile. Speed is unlocked on any mode. Got 184.XX MPH pretty consistently on either Plaid or Drag Strip mode.

    As mentioned just get the CCB. I friend and I ordered at the same time. I ordered CCB and he a complete package (although I recommended just CCB). Mine was on in 2 months he had to wrestle with the service center to install CCB and give him the rims while waiting for the tires. His CCB was...

    Plaids with 20" tires AND rear inner tire wear?

    Do you have any 1/4 mile numbers? 5.98@121 is moving pretty fast on the 1/8 Wanted to see if your trap is not affected due to the shorter overall diameter.

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    The issue right now is Tires Mine was installed 3 months ago (CCB) and had a Friend waiting for 4 months ordering just a week after me but it was a full track package.

    Plaid Drag Racing - Not such a great night

    From the 7:07 lap record at the ring, just 2 seconds off the 1900 hp Rimac (7:25 track package or 7:35 for the regular Plaid) and considering the regular Taycan Turbo S with the performance package did it in 7:33 and the fact the Taycan is heavier on 2 motors already , 5112 pounds (GT...

    I love my model s plaid!!!

    I looked at previous videos to see. Like 8 months ago he said it was a little down on power with millage (20k) and was trapping 147. When he putted the wheels 2 years ago did 151 trap and 1.47 60’ so there is something in there. I would like to see Tesla Plaid Channel opinion on that. He has...

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    Got my CCB on 21” track pack to a half mile and roll race event last weekend. Took my passenger and rear bench out and gained a solid 3MPH to the roll, 10 MPH to the half, 2 MPH trap to the 1/4 and 0.2 seconds 60-130 all compared to my previous event. So it is worth every penny 👌🏽 There was...

    How to make plaid accelerate faster ?

    For sure I see the next evolution of all Tesla platforms, not just the Plaid would be 800v high current and 48v low current. They will make it standard. Less copper, weigh and cheaper with faster charging speeds. For performance, Plaid or else, the competition will decide if a 1200 hp platform...

    How to make plaid accelerate faster ?

    Cybertruck's 800V architecture and the 4680 cells, would reduce our loss of power as battery % decreases and unleashed the 932KW potential from the 3 motors (1242 hp). We are limited by the battery and 400V more than anything else as the required amperage to reach the target power is very high...

    Plaid Drag Racing - Not such a great night

    Track Package (Full or just CCB) will raise the limit to 200 mph on any mode. Non track Package is 162 unless you are on Track mode which is 174 mph.

    I love my model s plaid!!!

    There is no data on the EVs just the final time, but they comment that the Plaid did 0-150 in 9.7 and the Sapphire took 1 second less (so I assume 8.7). Also, they mentioned the braking portion on the Lucid was uphill. Since the Lucid reached 150 1 second faster but the overall 0-150-0 was just...

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    Don’t seem like an option but even if that was possible, without the firmware you will miss the changes in suspension behavior and top speed limiter on any mode

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    The firmware update changes suspension settings no just top speed, apparently making it much more stable and neutral. This is something that should be available for all Plaids not just track packages as it is not related to hardware.

    Did the same on Saturday, since I got the 21" anchors. I hope these release the top speed... I ordered just the CCB on Saturday too, since I got the 21" anchors and would like to go on a different 20" combo. I hope there isn't any kind of issues with the 200 MPH limit...

    Plaids with 20" tires AND rear inner tire wear?

    Check your alignment. Adjusting your camber will affect your Toe. I had to adjust one side to +3 (was -1.5 degrees) and the other +9 (was -3 degrees) my steering wheel was off center when driving after and it was due to the Toe change. The car was squirrelly as you mention and if I punched it...

    Plaids with 20" tires AND rear inner tire wear?

    275/35/20 is around 27.57" vs the 28" stock. Do you have any issues with TC or trap speeds and 60' if you go to the dragstrip? I'm debating between a square 20" setup (strip/street) or going all out on a 18" setup.

    Model S Refresh Seat Removal Step by Step

    Nice writeup! I plan to do this but also to remove the driver seat and replace it with a Kirkey I got on my Mustang. I know there would be error codes due to airbags ect,,,, If I return everything to stock are the codes automatically gone without any issues?

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    I measured camber on both my rear tires on delivery. Driver side was -1 degree, and the passenger was -3 degrees I bet my passenger tire will wear out faster, but I don't plan to find out. Barely using the car until my camber arms arrive and set it up as close to -0- as possible.
