Plaid set new best time - record

[mulot30th]

Inhave been innweight reduction and optimization for 2 years,
the plaid became a consistent 8.75-8.79 1/4 miler

Now is time to play with the electrons

So here is the result of first test n tune day at dragstrip

I need a jaw-drop emoji, well done!

wowowowow
pretty super stuff!
Not the interior I am used to, but a great piece of engineering

Got tired of waiting for the roadster, huh? Impressive!

Holy *sugar* that 60-130 time. How much weight did you cut out and I’m curious about battery work also

 

[mulot30th]

about 700lbs weight reduction
removed more than 800lbs but replaced many by fabricated parts so theres about 100lbs back

This last time at track was first time I played with torque

700 pounds is a serious "diet" for the car. Assuming all carpeting and interior is gone besides a lightweight driver seat (you can clearly see the dash is removed.)

Did it feel as violent as it looked in the video? 1.6g on acceleration might be nothing for a Navy pilot getting launched off a carrier, or someone whose last name is Force, but I think that might be painful at my age.

VERY interested in how you are going to "play with electrons" now! Can you get into the system and reprogram the cooling systems and speed controllers?!??!

its not painful but its definately a good notch more than stock plaid

Important to note. I did not hack the tesla system. I only tell oem hardware whatever it want to happily domwhatever I want it ti do.
I still have a LOT to figure out. At this point cooling system is not quite figured out yet. But i am working on this.

For moment I have to make a ‘heat’ pass before doing a good pass which is typicaly 0.04 to 0.05 quicker.. even then. my slowest pass was a 8.69 not too bad

Interesting. So maybe we are getting to the point of having aftermarket “tunes” like the ICE cars??

Probably more of a piggy back JB4 type of box.

I mean if someone comes up with a way to intercept the signals and gets the car to produce more power and can easily be plugged in and removed with no record that would be sweet!

It's just a matter of time.
