Here is my chance to test the great Tesla/Brembo brakes, oh boy I can't wait, I'm gonna really clamp down on them hard, real hard.
Loaner, coming off highway, long off-ramp, green light, left hand turn, accelerating hard into ramp and beyond, applying brakes hard and the infamous tone I have never heard, applying brakes harder yet, car is accelerating more and more as I press harder and harder, I was already pushing the envelope hard and its getting worse. MUCH WORSE. Things are happening really fast now, there is not much time to react to anything.
lift foot and car slows down a bit(regen only) and we make our left turn at really high speed with concrete overpass abutment 40 feet high and 60 feet wide, straight ahead that surely would have killed us.
Had one foot on both Accelerator and Brake simultaneous no doubt in my mind.
2012 Signature P85, that I swear to this day those pedals are closer together(configured differently perhaps) on that car(any SIG owners out there to confirm or deny this possibility please chime in) then my MS or other MS's. I never confirmed that. Scared the .... out of us.
Done it and hope it never happens again. The tone is forever registered in my brain albeit a really bad time to learn what the tone is/was.
I have heard it since at low speed maneuvers in my car briefly with two footed slow maneuvers(which MS cannot really or need to drive two footed anyway).
I fully admit it was my fault and thats my story. I'll leave the brake testing to others. My brakes work fine.
Rolling the car also flashed in my mind, I recall all that weight across the entire bottom of the car from a video Elon Musk pointing to the low center of gravity in some scene. All this is happening in my head at the moment.
It had 21s and new tires and we skated right around the left turn at unusually high speed. If cars were in front of me at any point, I don't even want to think about that.
