Tesla Model S, 3, X, Y - UP-03 Carbon Fiber Wheels
Produced from aerospace forged aluminum, the carbon fiber version of our popular UP-03 wheel is the world's lightest weight wheel for Tesla Vehicles.

Plaids should run even quicker at high elevation compared sea level due to thinner air density... opposite of gas cars that need the extra air density at sea level to run fast

You guys in Canada are going to have some awesome dragy times to post (assuming higher elevation??) once you get your cars.
I’m only at 300ft. But Calgary is at 3500ft+, still lower than Denver. Denver guys might run 155mph trap and maybe 9 flat.

This is not a Plaid but a regular Model S (prior model year). Look how easily it just outpaces the C8 and Hellcat. The other cars just seem to give up after the Tesla is so far ahead....lol

It says it right in the video what he raced. And you can tell the EVO didn't go; probably had a malfunction. The M8 was late to go and then the Plaid hit the brakes. Not even a race worth uploading.

There is a much better video out there now. On youtube....
I am all for the performance these cars are capable of. I used to do a lot of street racing but we did it in a very remote area where there was typically no public traffic. I have some serious concerns about how quick these cars are getting that one major incident on the street and we might see some draconian rules put in place which impacts everyone's enjoyment.
I remember an incident where someone lost control and smacked into about of parked cars and almost killed some people. Let's just say if you were driving any sort of even remotely fast looking car in that town you would get pulled over if you even breathed wrong. If some idiot crashes their Plaid at a really high rate of speed on the road, I imagine the press coverage is going to be pretty bad.
So whenever I see those vids of someone racing on public roads with other people on the roads, it just makes me cringe. There have been an increasing number of fatalities in Florida because of street racing. An 11 year old girl just a few months ago was killed about 2 hours away from me. One guy just got 24 years for street racing and killing a lady and her 1 year old daughter.
I will do some Dragy runs on the street for testing before I go to the track but I go to a very remote place where there is almost no traffic and I can see for a long way away. I hope nobody on this forum is ever involved in some incident that hurts someone.

I totally agree. Racing should be done at the track.
However, any car can go fast if you keep the throttle pinned long enough. At least Teslas are well built, and built for these speeds unlike modified Civics with huge turbos that spool like mad at 5000rpm.

I go on trips and find roads in remote areas where there is not a soul around and have some fun reasonable blasts. I realize that is harder to find that in some geographical areas compared to others.
With great power, comes great responsibility. and GREAT is the power output of the Tesla Model S Plaid.
@Tex EV in other thread said his LR did 1/8 mi in 7.25 sec @ 95mph. Anyone have 1/8 mile in Plaid?

Can anyone with a new LR post their experience?
Jeff - Thank you for the nice video and narration. I was vicariously driving my Red LR which will hopefully arrive next month! The LR seems so much more refined than my old 2015 S85 with AP1 & MCU1. Your screen looked so sharp and moved so quickly. What do you think about the cabin noise level...

The Plaid does the 1/8 mile in 6.01 seconds at 120.22 mph, per DragTimes.@Tex EV in other thread said his LR did 1/8 mi in 7.25 sec @ 95mph. Anyone have 1/8 mile in Plaid?

Model S LR posts similar 1/8 mile time as the Model 3 Performance, - not in the same league as the Plaid.

To put the Plaid into perspective, it’s hitting 120mph in 1/8 of a mile. The Model 3 Performance hits 120mph at the 1/4 mile mark. Madness.
