Came for the singing dog. Was not disappointed.
Damn what a beautiful Beast and I'm not talking about the car that puppy was something else
Thanks for sharing. Great to see.
Thanks for watching!
Stayed for the singing pup
The best part of the video... 😅
I love that dog 😍
Thank you!!!
Nice 👍🏼
Dog singing got my thumbs up vote 🙂
COBAIT CUTE AF!!!!
i wonder how this is going to change the driving range
Love the color, What is the type and name of the wrap?
Are those triple black tint?
Hello, Did you installed caliper covers? I would like to put cover like those on my Plaid but I don't see anything comparable in the market. Thanks
This is not my car but I can tell you that the customer had the calipers painted.
So how much lower will it sit on Cheetah stance ?
I had an issues with one of my fore links on my model s, and always wondered if lowering it caused stress to the fore link! No I’m hesitant on buying these! Even though I really want them lol ..
Actually breakages in Tesla fore links have been a known issue. Tesla has redesigned them since.
What is the little tool you use (at 1:06 in the video) to pop off the stock ride height links?
Hi Jim, try to search for Pick and hook tools. You'll see it pop up. Thank you
sweet
The dog is the real star of the show at the beginning 🐕🐕🐕😄😄😄
Typical Millennial short attention-span!
He looks like my Yotas dad, lol. One of my buddies here in Phx breeds Pocket American Bullies.
You mentioned that you settled on - 7 fronts and back, do you know if there will be uneven tire wear due to the camber?
Hi Gary,
Yeah, most Teslas will have inner rear tire wear at that level. We have the links in combination with the rear camber arms for that reason here: n2itive.me/product/n2itive-acceleration-shudder-inner-tire-wear-elimination-kit-tesla-model-s-x/
Dog Dope
How did it affect range due to an increase in Roll resistance ?
It's a good question. I'm not sure. I don't think the customer tested that.
Any significant difference in acceleration 1/8 mile and 0-60 mph in Seconds ??
Probably no. Plaid is so heavy it doesn't struggle for traction.
Could you please let me know what are your 20” wheel’s SPEC with J and ET values? Thanks
Hi, you'll have to contact Jamie at signature Wheels. Sorry I don't have this information.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns thanks for your answer
👍👍
What were the specs of the wheels? Wheel width and offset would be awesome to know for my Plaid
That's a good question. I'm not sure. But you can talk to Jamie at signature Wheels.
these 20inch wheels? Not 21 right? just curious cause I’m trying to decide between which wheel size I want for my model s
Yes, 20". The full Tire specs are mentioned in the video.
Nice I love this fitment, I originally bought brixton rf10 21 wheels but I put in the order to switch to rf7 20inch. I noticed you’re guys shop is relatively close, might have to come check it out when i get my wheels outfitted.
What wheels specifically are those? Also what’s the name of the rims
The wheels /rims are from Signature. Reach out to Jamie at secretev.com for exact details. Thank you.
I go through tire’s every 5k miles on my Plaid just like Parker on Vehicle Virgins. Are you having the same issue ????
No because we have N2itive SX-P2 adjustable camber arms on there. Now with a proper alignment they won't wear out on the inside.
Any rubbing in the lowest setting ?
There is no rubbing at all.
How tall are the tires and wheels?...Almost all Plaids have a problem with tires over and under 28" when they try full throttle and over 100MPH....Check it out!
There is a side by side comparison in the video. They are similar in height to stock. Do you have an link to the problem that you're referring to?
@@N2ITIVEdesigns the Tesla Plaid Channel talks about it....Ask Andrew directly as he had experimented with different height tires
Does the bigger tires and wheels make it run slower in the 1/4?
We haven't test it but the final wheels and tires are lighter than factory and you get improved traction so I don't see why that would make it slower in the 1/4 mile.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns yeppppp
Nope the bigger tires will make it even faster if the tires are lighter than smaller ones
smaller tire will have a smaller circumference, causing the tire to travel less distance per rotation than the bigger tire
There are some conditions smaller lighter tires can make you accelerate quicker but that will also cause wheelspin which will result in slow acceleration than normal
if you wanna get more top speed and more acceleration as much as possible you will need much lighter, bigger and wider tires to actually get maximum traction on the launch
Obviously Big tire will give you 5 mph top speed more on the Tesla
For acceleration purposes most people will buy Smaller tires because they are small and light they can help you accelerating quicker in tesla plaid they are also better on roads
Tesla plaid can do better on 1/4 mile with lighter Carbon fibre wheels and wider or bigger tires
But the
The Factory Bigger 21" inch tires are slow on 1/4 mile because they are so heavy
Smaller ones are lighter and spin at high speeds than bigger ones
That's why people actually use them on drag strip lighter tires are also cheaper
@@Smzxe Imagine thinking anything in the mid 9s is slow.
Does this affect the air suspension can you still lower and raise the car or no
Yes, you can still raise and lower the air suspension. With the links installed, every height setting will be a bit lower. If you have any other questions, please let us know.
I had 275/35/21 on my s plaid and when I went in cheeta mode the wheels rubbed. Am I missing something. Thanks
Looks good but I haven’t heard many Plaid owners struggle for traction. Might just add a bunch of road noise? Keep us posted 🙏🏼
Is this sarcasm? Plaid is fully limited by traction control in all situations. Track mode cannot come soon enough.
@@jkeeven Are you a Plaid owner? I put wider/lower profile PS4S on my Tesla and all it really did was change the tone of the road noise.
Yes, switching to 20" with 295/305 in hopes for a bit more traction, but don't expect much. You'd need a much stickier drag compound to make a big difference.
Ok om lost, looks ro low, how can it perform at its to level with the car riding on the tires, but each its own!
In this video you never told us what number you set the lowering links at.
-5,6 or 7 ??
I'm pretty sure we settled on - 7.
Great video.
Tell me about the wrap on your car.
Actually the car wasn't ours. The customer told me the name of the wrap at the time but I have forgotten.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns - I am guessing it is a clear Prism PPF wrap. I am having it done to my shiny new blue MYP next week. The effect is the same - deep blue to deep purple. Hmmm.... Deep Purple - that'd make a great name for a rock band.
@@thomasruwart1722 Perhaps Deep Purple foresaw the future of car wraps and that's how they got their name... : ) That'll look awesome on your Y for sure!
@@N2ITIVEdesigns - I'll be a "Highway Star"! (I'm an old boomer if you hadn't guessed that part) Cheers dude!
@@thomasruwart1722 Cheers, buddy! Have a good one!
So 21” wheels not recommended?
21" are fine but I'm not sure these size tires would fit.
Good to know. So I guess the stock tire size should be fine for the 21 inch.
@@smoak888 Stock sizes are fine but you could squeeze more under there as well if you wanted. I just can't give you an exact maximum size tire at 21".
Did you upgrade brakes?
The customer did not do that yet but probably next week. We'll make another video.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns please pm me. I want to set up a group buy in a Tesla Group Im in.. Thank you!
@@andrewshields986 I messaged you on facebook.
How much power did you increased?
width of the rims and offsets ?
You would need to talk to Jamie at secretev.com for those details
They won't tell anyone the offset numbers. If they did, you would buy your wheels somewhere else and just give them the offset numbers.
@@dirkpitt3244 Not looking to buy so, in fact, no sales would be lost... I was merely asking out of interest as I am enthusiastic about such things !
@@dirkpitt3244 So?? If that is case, shitty biz practice! Im in biz 35 years! If someone ask a professional question, I would be happy to help. You are just assuming this person is like you!
Does this affect cheetah mode? Does it rub during launch?
Hi Tony, Cheetah Mode still works fine. There is no rubbing at launch.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns So serious question here... Let's say I set the links to -5, and it'd drop it X inches in every setting. Theoretically, if I set Tesla's suspension height to Normal, it would look like the Low setting with these links, right? And so on up the setting tree? Just curious, cuz wifee doesn't like my lowered cars, but ability to program it to "normal" for her... happy wife happy life. And then I can set it to "low" for me and it'd be dropped, yes?
@@tonyn858 More or less, yes. At -5 it's as though every setting would be down one level. It's not perfectly linear like that but ultimately your air suspension will of course still work, just every setting will be a bit lower. Also changing the settings on the links it's fairly simple since it has a built in Vernier scale. Not something you want to do everyday but I'm sure you can find a happy middle ground with your wife that way. Thank you.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns *insert "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY" meme
Looks good, but those wider tires will make it slower on the 1/4 mile.
We haven't test it but the final wheels and tires are lighter than factory and you get improved traction so I don't see why that would make it slower in the 1/4 mile.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns The formula for maximizing 1/4 time, is running the narrowest tire, than can maintain traction during launch. Going wider when maximum traction was already achieved, would slow the car down due to additional weight and contact area (friction) from larger tires. You might not lose acceleration vs stock, since you say they are lighter, but you would lose acceleration vs the lighter wheels and tires in a more narrow size.
@@markclinton2425 I totally understand your logic, but I just don't know where you come up with, "maximum traction was already achieved". Where did you come across this? When you nail the accelerator the wheels do slip with factory tires. This is definitely not maximum traction. But I do understand that it's best to no go wider than necessary due to extra friction.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns In low traction situations, it might help your 60 foot time, but lower trap speed. On a prepped track, stock wheels provide perfect traction.
apparently it all comes down to weight in this case, Tesla Plaid Channel ran a test with 19", 20" and 21" wheels (understandably the rim size changes but the overall diameter is roughly the same) and weight (21" vs 19" was the only influential factor in the 1/4 mile. Top speed could be a different situation though. Generally wider tires are best suited for better grip, hence better acceleration and handling (for cars)
I have them on my plaid.. bye bye tires after 8k mikes though 🤦🏻♂️
I was just about to ask this because I know S and X are tire eaters from the factory. What are lowered S getting out of tire life?
Model X plaid kit when?
Actually the same lowering kit will work for the plaid.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns any plans when the shutter fix kit will be available for the X plaid? Mine is being serviced for the shutter as we speak.
@@Justin-ng6lt yes we're working on it now. If it's not too much to ask can you send me a copy of the PDF that they give you with what they replaced?
Super late follow up but just want to infor that my half shafts and control arms were replaced twice under warranty. I had many other issues and Tesla agreed to buy back my X plaid. I told the techs that there are 3rd party solutions now for this issue that’s existed since the beginning and they acted surprised. Techs also said they’re on like the 15th revision of part and can’t seem to solve it.
range -100mi but who cares, it looks so sick!
That’s -6 all around???
Yes, some people will go a little more negative in the rear. Every Tesla will be a bit different due to current calibration and tire type and size.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns after seeing so many plaids with extreme drops, it’s nice to see just how good a milder setting can look.
Yes, agreed!
Awesome but the rims look stock 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hmm, lowering the car, there goes the ride quality and practicality as well as the tire wear. I do not understand how looks could be more important to some people than comfort and tire wear.
It is clear that some people do not understand that the suspension components and geometry have been designed with some certain aspects to ride comfort and longevity. 🙄
Thank you for your message. The tire wear can be eliminated by installing our adjustable SX-P2 camber arms. And as long as it's not lowered excessively, the ride quality is still quite good. Plus it improves handling quite a bit. So it's possible have the best of both worlds here.
