Cool. Any chance you'd be interested in posting to Youtube?

Uploading now... may want to grab it/watch it if it gets flagged for copyrighted music.

Thanks. Will keep an eye on it as I presume it's still processing at this moment.

Sad face indeed.

This video has been removed because it is too long.

Oh no! Can we dropbox this mug in four parts?

 

[shokunin]

Try again, should be fixed, hopefully.

 

[skitown]

It's working now thanks!

 

[shokunin]

Wow that got flagged/blocked fast for the copyrighted music.

I'll try uploaded to dropbox. I believe I have a 20gb data cap before this link gets banned, so the first 25 downloaders should be fine.

@shokunin's link seems to be working for me..

 

[JRP3]

Working for me right now.

There is also this one with muted music if the other one disappears

 

[AudubonB]

Before I sit through that video, can someone confirm it does/does not have the dropped/frozen portions that bedeviled the livestream?

Yeah, I looked at several on YouTube the morning after the launch, and they all had that ...

... then i googled and found it on Tesla's site (on the page with the Semi / Roadster reservation), but as @shokunin said earlier that's now gone.

Perhaps Tesla had some sort of time-limited license for the music? I can't see that anything, which breaches copyright on the music, is going to survive on YouTube for very long

Would be a great pity if the presentation was no longer available, I enjoyed being sat in front of my screen watching it, how sad is that?!, but all the time I was wishing it had been on YouTube so I could watch it at a faster frame rate ...

You’re right. And there are many other elements which make a F1 car a better race car (not the least of which are those huge racing slick tires). I do hope though they will have figured out the cooling problem so that the Roadster 2 can be used as a track car.

The fact that it was able to do so many Plaid runs back to back to back, where the S cannot, gives me hope the Roadster can perform on a track.

Congrats on your order. I have to wait for TSLA to appreciate more

Since the reveal I've pondered that some more.

The demo process was:

Punter gets in (not an instant process!)
Short bit of chat.
Taxi to launch point. Wait a bit.
Launch
Circle round at the end, drive back leisurely-ish
Circle round at the other end
Park up.
Some final chat Q&A with punter
Punter gets out (also not an instant process!)

For sure the battery needed to be able to deliver that number of launches (I saw a clip where the driver said he had started on 90-something and been doing launches "all evening" and was now on 60-something).

But it seems to be that there was a lot of recovery time (to cool down / whatever) available in the way the demos were timetabled

May be irrelevant of course

 

[JRP3]

Yes, each run had about 2 seconds of full power and the rest was only low level power use and sitting still waiting. If there were 50 test runs that night that would be less than 2 total minutes of full power use.

 

[Cosmacelf]

I agree. It doesn’t prove anything one way or another with respect to being a useable track car.

Thanks so much! I'm watching this now, finally. I sure feel like I'm late to the party.
