Funny things about the cold: Batteries are less efficient in the cold, but other electrical components, especially motors and cables, are more efficient- less resistance- when colder. Tires have less grip as well as the pavement, but a burnout can improve the tire side of the equation. Gas engines are harder to start with cold components and oil, but produce more power and efficiency in cooler, denser, drier air. Cold oil and battery make a car harder to start the first time, even though the starter motor works better.
The dragrace Camaro was a real contender in the 1/8th mile track, although you would likely get around him in the 1/4 mile. It shows that much is decided with the light and R/T. I'm glad to hear that the Plaid has bounced back from the accident to race so soon, even though the expensive body repair is still to come.
I'd still love to see you enter an actually bracket/footbrake race. You hit the tree fairly decent, it'd be fun to see you actually compete in competition.
We've done it before, but the "grumbling" of the competitors took away most of the fun ("it's not fair!" and "the car is too consistent"). Also, it lacks the element of "going faster to beat" the other car, since the car in the next lane can be on a much slower index and still "win" even though their car is MUCH slower. (Not very exciting to viewers here.)
Looks like you would win easily in a quarter me race as you were starting to pass him at 600 feet. Nice to see you post a video, how about an update on your car repairs? Nice to see the subscriber rate is still going up!
Thanks Roy! The next video will cover the repair situation. We were able to make 7 passes last night, with some 6.0s (on the Nittos). SolarShiftz wasn’t there though…
I’ve got the Nittos on until I can get that rear wheel replaced or resurfaced. Bradenton won’t let the Plaid run without a roll cage if it has any modifications, including wheels.

How's the plaid since your fender bender with the s10? Hope it didn't bend any suspension components? Thanks for the great videos and info about the cars you race against.
Question, why do you not heat up your tires before a run? Would that not help you hook up better, particularly on cold evenings? I do not know the sport, just asking.
Two main reasons: -The Tesla won’t let the driver spin the tires except using “slip start” which is for getting OUT of snow or mud and incompatible with Drag Strip mode. It doesn’t work well, just a tiny bit of slip and is not good for the drivetrain. 2) Summer radials don’t respond to a burnout like drag tires do. Watch Hellcats on stock tires get slower with bigger burnouts as their tires get greasy…
We've been wondering that also. But if we switch it out of Drag Strip Mode (to stop the heating process), then we can't use Launch Control. Experience suggests that it can't be much, since we've run within 0.01 seconds when at "2 minutes remaining" versus "Peak Performance Ready" on the same night on back-to-back passes.
Showtime is even closer, every Wednesday night 👍. (I won’t be back to Bradenton til sometime in March, and I’m usually only there a couple times a month.)
What types of maintenance do you have to do to this car? Do you do anything different, to maintain reliability, than an average owner would have to do? Has anything broken?
Both our Teslas have been incredibly reliable. 👍 Over 1300 drag strip runs now (1001 in the 2019 S, and 305 in the Plaid). Only costs we’ve had was a new set of windshield wipers last year and a coin battery for the key fob. About $40 total. (We’ve also played with different tires and wheels, but that was all entirely optional)
But remember that the Camaro Red Lit (both races), so he lost both times anyway. Given enough of a head start like that, a lot of cars can cross the finish line first, but that's not 'winning'...
Great content as always. I really appreciate it. Some observations. When running the Camaro on the first run why wouldn’t you activate drag strip mode as soon as you get into it as your driving in the staging lanes versus activating it right before lining up to tree. Secondary, why wouldn’t you line up at the lights first instead of letting the other car do a burnout and you staging last. That way you could actually enter cheetah mode. I know you’ve done a ton of strip runs so maybe it doesn’t matter??
All reasonable questions... In the first race with the Camaro, it was first known about 60 seconds before the video started. No advance warning. First priority is to get the helmet, collar, and gloves on. Next priority is to get the 3 GoPros turned on, otherwise there is no video of the race (like some of the runs that happened this week). Drag Strip mode makes a small difference and rarely decides the race, so it’s the last priority of these… Track etiquette is always to be ready (fully suited) when you get to the water box. But the most critical point of etiquette is not to “double bulb” the other car. Each car is supposed to get one staging bulb before anyone takes the second bulb. If I went all the way up to the start line (where the car needs to be for launch control), before the other car was inches from that same line, that would indicate a total noob jacka$$. No one wants to be “that guy”. 😃
I’m laughing at “it’s cold out here now”, I’m up in Ontario and we were at -23C the other day 60F would be shorts weather for us. Camaro dude likes to Red Light for the win. The Tesla is still an amazing car in my book, Elon has done wonders with electric motors and battery science. If they can get the weight of the car down by a substantial amount, those numbers will fall a lot. What’s the chances of Elon making a 4 motors edition in the future, maybe the Holy Shit version?😳😮👍👍🇨🇦

If ANY modifications are made (wheels, tires, mirrors, etc), then a Roll Cage must be added to race at all of the local 1/4 mile tracks. The cage weighs over 200 pounds. So that would make the car MUCH SLOWER... (Also, 'folded' mirrors' are LESS aerodynamic than when in the regular position. They don't fold flat, not by a long shot. Take a look at a Tesla folded mirror to see what we mean...)

Can’t spend hours leaning into an engine bay like I used to. But still want to go fast. Just like the guys rolling up in Redeyes, Demons, GT500s, and a wide variety of new cars that have over 700HP from the factory. Why shouldn’t all of these be welcome at the dragstrip too?

I'm big into road racing' been doing it for many years, the reason you don't see videos of Tesla's doing that, it's because they can't compete with the old piston engine, had plenty come and give it a try, but they're slow and in about three or four laps they roll over and play dead.
