I love that guy in front of you that gets after it and plays along!
Arguably one of your best videos that was good thanks for posting
More of this! I love these POV driving videos and the Smoky Mountains are amazing.
Thanks for the video.. One of these years I'll make it down there..
Well driven and well described! Thank you. Phil
Great video and beautiful roads! 😊
I've had a model 3 performance stealth for 6 months, almost 11k miles.. and I realize although I have driven it a lot. and enjoyed it.. I haven't actually ever DRIVEN in like I used to do in my Miata.. ty for this video.
Fantastic street - great ride :-)
Liked the video! Keep making more of these.
Thanks Kyle, I like this video. Good to see the model 3 rippin it!!
Awesome driving mate! Given me the energy to go out in my M3P this morning. Cheers from the UK 🇬🇧
Awesome, did you watch the model 3 performance of the Daerik channel? He has change a lot suspension, ceramic brakes, that car must be awesome to drive in this road.
Love this video so much. Wish we got to see the speed going in and coming out of those corners. Maybe you can take a trip down to "Mexican Roads" 😉
I need to plan a road trip vacation to there. It looks like a ton of fun.
Every time a Tesla owner gives a non-Tesla owner a ride in his or her Tesla, an angel gets its wings!!!
Thanks.
That was a great ride it's been a long time since I've been to the tail of the dragon..
Nice to see the model 3 is pretty damn competent considering what it was designed to do.
I suspect some suspension work and some upgraded rotors and pads and you might find a bit extra speed.
We used to run our miatas down there.
Had a turbocharged Miata putting about 250 horsepower to the wheels.
That made a 2500 pound car pretty fast.
We ended up in front of a modified G37 Infiniti coupe.
Hit it hard going the opposite direction that you just ran it and ended up at the convenience store there at the end.
We pulled in stopped, got out of the car and they was smoke drifting up off all four wheels.. lolz.
Guys in the infinity pulled up next to us and we had a nice chat.
definitely never ever ever cross the double yellow line here there are too many motorcycles during the summer time and you will kill somebody.
if you're not into really fast driving cherohala skyway is also quite beautiful. For a nice relaxed scenic drive if that's your thing.
Thanks for posting the video it was really fun to watch...
Watched your videos before, now this one? Subbed.. lol
Damn. I was trying to find people to go up there this weekend when I had nothing to do. Wish I had realized you were headed out there!
It was just a quiet trip we took with the dogs... Let me know next time you're heading up and I'm sure I can join!
Haven't been in years. After I texted you Thursday, I tried to find people around here that wanted to go up for the weekend but no one was free and wanted to go.
Someone did a 360 VR video from the cameras on their Model 3 (and posted to TH-cam), from their drive on the Dragon. Holy smokes, that was fun and nauseating. I once came upon a twisty road sign, next 26 miles. Super excited as I was in my newly purchased 500 Abarth, by mile 13 I was dry heaving from the curves LOL. The last 13 were almost torture. But it was still fun haha.
This run reminds me a feeling of Subaru STi with DCCD (center differential) set to fully open, which gave it rear-biased AWD behaviour (than again, it had LSDs in the rear and front). The difference is that TC and SC were completely disabled, so you could do whatever you are capable. Do you know how does the Tesla Track mode react to a Scandinavian flick in a closed track or slalom course? Does it let it rip away in the classical rally-style AWD oversteer?
I love Hellbender. Ever been to the Snake up past JC?
Loved this. I missed the BRP drive a few months ago so now I see what I missed on Sunday. One of these days soon I'll have to take a trek out to the tail. It definitely looks fun. Do you find that the authorities just turn a blind eye to that area unless things get out of hand?
For the most part they will only pull you if you’re driving dangerously, crossing double yellows, going way too hard etc. They realize these roads (the people who come to drive them) help keep the local economy from crumbling
Great video!!! Love the intro song. whats the name? Thanks ;)
Great video! Hate that you couldn't make the BRP drive. Would love to know in advance when you're heading up to the dragon again.
We can put together a little enthusiast EV drive up there
@@OutofSpecMotoring I'm game! But will be driving in from the TN side.
19:55 This has been a little terrifying, but you know the roads, so I'm sure it's not that bad for you. I had a fun drive to my old job, used push the limits of my car/skill, but I knew the road super well and that made all the difference in safety.
Pls do some comparison videos on this road w some of the other cars.
finally a person who knows how to drive. Most of these reviews show "aggressive" driving which is complete BS
Serious question: what microphones did you use to record all of this?
What were your track settings?
i would love to see you drive 178, 276, or 215, all near Brevard. They are great roads too. Agreed; best driving roads in the world are in WNC!
Driven all! Love them
Also, what would the MPG be on that same run in something like the C63S or M3 or RS5, going uphill as you were half of the time it seems? Probably dismal. Yeah, it won't consume 40% of the tank, but I'm sure like 3-4 gallons :D
Actually if I remember correctly, I couldn’t get two full runs in on my M3 on one tank of fuel. It was easily over $150/day in fuel. However I could fill up and go. We just need DC fast chargers in the area and all problems will be solved!
@@OutofSpecMotoring Wow, yeah, nuts, and I think fuel cost is gonna be up in 2020...
2:13 Good to know I'm not the only one that yells at squirrels like they can actually hear me or even understand.
Nice Kyle! But hey, did you bring that 2016 M3 Competition here in the fall with all-seasons too? Also, a guy I know who runs a track club had an F80 M3 with the stock brakes and oh boy, those were totally inadequate on the track, he would always have to rock it after it is done, in the lot, back and forth. So yeah, the fix needs to be their $8000+ ceramic option, which he got now on his newer M3 ;) Anyway, I heard the new 5% power bump is quite noticeable. Can't wait for it!
I had the M3 there a few times, once in the fall but on summers I believe.
@@OutofSpecMotoring Yeah that's the thing, I would want to see how folks would find their M3s with AS tires on, and on -1/-2 wheel sizes too.
Probably still faster in the corners, not as much down the straights out or out of corners. All wheel drive helps a ton with getting the power down out of corners
@@OutofSpecMotoring I just got the update, and it coincidentally happens that 2 days ago I installed my winter set (18s). The tires are brand new and are great in normal driving, but at full throttle at lower speeds, they squirm a bit and squish like a gummy bear lol. Now I know why Tesla chose the 20" profile for stock and also the awesome Michelin 4S tires. It is a mistake to get a Model 3 Performance without the performance pacakge!
Really liked this video but your image stabilization messed with my head a little. Any chance you can post this 'raw'? I lose sense of the vehicle dynamics due to the stabilization. I'd gladly take the vibrations of the drive. Looks FANTASTIC and your narration is perfect. LIke we are riding along with you. Thanks again!
The stabilizing was done in camera, I forgot to turn it off
@@OutofSpecMotoring No worries, I'm still enjoying your enthusiastic driving. :^) And thanks for the response!
The question is where do you take your car to charge?
Nice to know what my car can do I feel safer in a performance car than a none performance as I will never exceed it's spec.
Ha this thing is more fun than a bike.
👍🏼
We have roads like that where I live, but the god damn cops patrol them constantly. I have 2 reckless driving tickets. First riding a Yamaha R1 and 2nd E46 M3. Have 2 years left to be careful to space them out.
Interesting video that highlights the strengths and weaknesses of electric cars. Super efficient electric motors but a very inefficient way of storing the energy (batteries). Which is of course the exact opposite of ICE cars which have very inefficient motors but very efficient energy storage (petrol/diesel)
If only battery tech could get closer to fossil fuel for energy storage we could have longer range and drop weight (smaller batteries)
Sadly I fear this is a long way off and so for now we are stuck with short range super heavy electric cars.
I’d say the cars are really long range and definitely efficient. Road trips are fantastic etc. This is just an odd situation for an EV to be in.
@@OutofSpecMotoring Not really. I have travelled 700+ miles at speed without refuelling in a ICE car. Electric cars are nowhere near this. At the speeds I travel at I would guess the longest range EV would struggle to top 200 miles. Add in a little headwind and lower temperatures and whilst also affecting the ICE the EV suffers more.
Don't get me wrong I am enthusiastic about EV development but there is a way to go yet.
@@DAVEMUGF very, very few cars out there can do 700+ miles on a tank. That's limited to a select few econoboxes that weight half as much as anything else and lack features galore, can't compare that to a Model 3. Also, "Electric cars are nowhere near this" is incorrect. The new Roadster was announced a while back with 620 mile range. In addition, they are most certainly working with Maxwell technology for a new advent of batteries ... we shall see in not that long in the future. As it stands though, scroll up and see Kyle's reply to a comment I made about when he had his M3 F80...he couldn't even get 2 runs in with a gas tank on this route, because with spirited driving, MPG plummets ultra-hard. Imagine in a NA car ... such as the predecessor V8 M3 (which is also heavier). Sure, one can stop at a gas station for 5-6 mins and have it replenished, but hey, V3 superchargers are going to proliferate soon, which give the Model 3 and upcoming newer cars like the Y, 1000 mph charge speeds when you're low (anything from 0-30 or 40% I think, then it slows down as designed).
@@raheeb1 Sorry but you are wrong. My Audi A8 is not an 'econobox' lacking in features. There are other models from MB & BMW that can also easily achieve this.
As for the Tesla Roadster it is nothing more than an announcement at this stage and I for one am not interested in such a vehicle.
EVs are great and Tesla has done a great job with the M3 but battery technology does have a long way to go. Thankfully, because of the superior efficiency of electric motors batteries do not have to reach the energy density of fossil fuels but man if they could what amazing vehicles we could have.
David Mugford after I posted that reply I said to myself “actually wait. Things like a Golf or BMW 3-Series diesel can get 650 maybe 700 miles. That’s true”. Your diesel A8 can get 700?! We have a diesel Rover in the fleet and it’s insane how much more mileage it gets on a tank vs the V6 gas equivalent engine. Anyhow, in a few years the proliferation of Tesla superchargers in many countries beyond what already is there now, plus the V3 speeds, will make all this far smaller of an issue. If these next 5 years demonstrate increasing oil costs, it’s game over hard for ICE longevity.
looked like you were hauling balls
Where do you charge up there
Plenty of spots. Check plugshare
@@OutofSpecMotoring hah just got to the part you talk about it. Ive taken my bike up a lot but not my p3d
Suggestion Instead of the face cam have a cam on the screen so we can see route and speed :)
? The whole video is on the road
Why would he post the speed he was driving on a public road?
Nice try FBI
stability control on action cam is warping image and making it hard to really get a feel for the car through corners. great vid otherwise
Monotonous identical corners and 35mph limit are not even close to being some of the best driving roads in the world.
Try NC500 or Stelvio for example.
Was just on stelvio, it was awful. Couldn’t go fast with all the blind corners and traffic
@@OutofSpecMotoring You went at the wrong time then. I'm sure you'll agree the views are in a different league to the dragon. Try NC500 next time.
@@73henny Views were stunning!
Yall think that roads scary, drive any - *ANY* main road in New Zealand and you'll shit your pants. the Dragon is the least scary road i've seen lol.
Funny if u really think the BMW m3 comp handles corners better.. the BMW is nowhere near as fast on a track. The tesla will spank all bmw's all day on the track. I can tell you sir you are wrong..
I guess this is for all the Nerds that want "Need for Speed". Well have fun buying new tires every couple of weeks. Tesla tires are not exactly cheap. I can now see everyone with a performance Tesla will be screaming up to the stop lights with this feature enabled. Glad I got a long range model Y which does not have this feature. I want to save my tires as long as possible.
Bye!!!!
