Dragy times for Plaid and LR

[OCS300]

How much weight did you save?

I’ll need Jamie from @SignatureWheel to chime in as I didn’t weigh them myself, but I believe they are about 23-25 lbs each, wheel only.

FYI multiple owners have gone faster than his numbers with the 21s. Look at the dragy leaderboard too for 1/8th mile and 1/4 mile... a few results posted there beating his times with the 21s (and no I'm not counting the weight reduction cars). The records we've seen to date are still held by the 21s with those awesome PS4S tires... so until we see otherwise the 19s are not faster. Also, I've seen plenty of 1.48 60fts at the track with the 21s... this guy was doing 1.50s on his 19s.

Can you post link to dragy leaderboard? Google search is just taking me to the dragy website and a bunch of different forums, none of which look like any sort of official dragy leaderboard.

I think you can only access it via the app

Yes, the SV105 20x10 ~23.5lb 20x11 ~24.5lb

Fascinating insights! Thanks for sharing, Omar.

Fun roll races My Plaid vs Alpha 10 R8 TT and McLaren 720s bolt ons pump gas tune. Humidity was a problem for them
Tesla pulled hard from a roll of 40mph and I got to 151mph at the 1/4 mark

Please please PLEASE tell me you took videos

Please please PLEASE tell me you took videos

If you want videos just hit up YouTube and check out the Dragtimes and the Tesla Plaid Channel. Dragtimes does a good job comparing to high end supercars and hypercars like the Remac, McLaren, Ferrari and others. The Tesla Plaid Channel is a bunch of pure drag racing against whoever happens to be at the track, so you get to see lots of heavily modified cars on both 1/8 and 1/4 mile tracks. The guy does like 500 passes per year and has been doing it with a Model S for several years and now has two different Plaids, on one 19" wheels and one on 21" wheels that are otherwise identical. He's in process of converting the Plaid on 19" wheels into a dedicated drag car with a roll cage and parachute so he can run full out on 1/4 mile tracks that don't let you go faster than 9.9 or 145mph without a cage and parachute.

Another Tesla Plaid Channel video! Really good results with the 19s! 9.2s for sure, and my guess seems to shaping up to correct; that the difference on the dragstrip between 21s and 19s will be negligible. 21s still seem to be faster ultimately, but this is awesome to see!

And that was with just 18% SoC! (wait, that's your device's SoC )

Gawd that's awesome. Has anyone on 19s run a 1.99 on the street?

Nope. Best I've seen so far is 2.3 something. I suspect the 19s are really close on the dragstrip but slower for sure on the street.

That makes sense. Probably explains why Tesla didn't provide the 19s in the heavily-moderated Motortrend review.

Thank you! This has EXACTLY been my thoughts. Manufacturers always give the fastest car to the press.

YOOOOOO! You do any wheel mods? Tires? Stripped interior?

 

[KnoxPlaid]

YOOOOOO! You do any wheel mods? Tires? Stripped interior?

Full interior with bunch of boxes in the trunk too , I was coming back from work . I just put 20 inch wheels on the car today , Michelin ps4 tires but I've run pretty much the same on 21s before . 0-60mph on 21s was 2.16 [2.0 with 1fr rollout] . It was kind of cold today when I did the hit, it was 64*f and 90% soc . I know the car will do 1.97 -1.98 on a warmer day and higher SOC .
