Thanks Mischa for the drive and review of our Nurburgring development car. We are glad you are seeing the potential of our braking and suspension upgrades! We are excited for the future of our Nurburgring development program. A lot more in store! Big thanks as well to our partners at Atomic!
It is incredible how far Unplugged Performance has come in just a few years. Their Pike's Peak run with Randy Pobst is epic. It'd be interesting to know how they did in the eco-GP.
I'm buying a M3P on Monday. They previous owner installed Unplugged performance suspension kit, unplugged forged wheels. So much more. The car handles like a dream. Never been to the track. Not a lot of options where i live in Oregon. 😅
I like the electric cars on the Nürburgring ,its like flying trough the landscape like a bird. Very peacefull but fast, would be easier to put on multiple laps with a car with less noise. Robert should buy one to have conversations in.
For the traction control, Tesla keeps it on 'slightly' in all situations because it's a nightmare to drive without it. You can enter 'Dyno Mode' and this disables traction control, providing full power to all motors. You just spin out if you even think about touching the accelerator, it becomes a death trap. Being an EV, there's too much 'instant torque' to the wheels, it blows them off so easily. :)
I love seeing those videos! It really shows the developpement of the electric performance cars and what amazing engineers are doing do help with it! Thank you Misha to cast a light on them!
@@dinklebamp actually a track pack will be released and it’s good for multiple drag races with no issues. Go watch Tesla plaid channel on TH-cam. The Taycan on the other hand goes into limp pretty quickly.
Looks great considering the tyres but it needs LSDs! In the thumbnail you’re lifting the inside, with open diff and all that torque the VCU must reduce torque and use braking even with “stability off”. You can hear the “hopping” from the T/C, not the suspension, in some of the heavier loaded corner exits. LSDs, or less bar stiffness with more spring, or more suspension droop might help. Can’t wait too see a lap next year with the AR1s!
Even model s plaid is built like an econobox. I don't think there will be a real performance EV that you can drive 10/10 lap after lap in the next 10 years
@@IR-xy3ij Plaid seems like it might keep full power over the course of a lap. There's also the Taycan which has been proven to keep power fairly long.
@@IR-xy3ij I can get 5 or 6 hotlaps out of my RWD Model 3 around the local roadcourses before any sort of thermal issues. There are cooling mods available for the cars as well.
@@JT-xq2hv I think the rwd model has a significant cooling advantage compared to the m3p, which has basically the same radiator setup but draws significantly more current. But in both cases there is currently no easy way of completely addressing the cooling problem, and with my slightly modified fk8 I can continue to lap at a very consistent pace until I run out of fuel. I believe that in order to completely solve the cooling problem, the battery pack has to be modified to help heat transfer into the coolant, and the air conditioning system has to be upgraded, as the cells cannot be cooled by ambient temperature air. These mods are likely too complex for the aftermarket and personally I would wait for a manufacturer to make a track-ready ev before venturing into that.
Slicing thru traffic like a Ninja and making small critics. Confidence in the build and machine that you are at ease with the speed. Amazing and EVs are only getting faster.
A bit hard to call it a track tool when it still can't do one "taking it easy" lap in cool weather with a yellow caution period without still going into reduced power mode.
@@olegkucherov3898 I assume the low power mode was a result of battery temps, not brake temps. If they've turned off regen braking, I don't see how TC intervention was a factor. What am I missing? Edit: Just realized you're the Atomic guy, lol!
@@vafan13 TC constantly changing power delivery to the wheels and using brakes a lot= heating everything. You will be surprised but cars with ICE have same problems in case of high TC activities.
@@olegalex78 OK, I can see that. With ICE cars I've only heard about TC causing problems with overheating the rear brakes, which lines up with my own limited experience on track with my M5 in MDM mode. I'm certainly no expert, though.
1:08 He should have changed the handling balance in corners from 50-50 to 30-70 front-rear. There are aftermarket coolers for the battery and motors. (Modifications/additions to the stock systems.)
Next year, but the Plaid doesnt have Track Mode currently. So you cant deactivate Traction Control etc. In the forums owner complain how model 3s are faster on smaller tracks because of that
Would have liked to known if they changed the battery cooling at all? I was thinking of adding a bigger inline pump plus a small rad and fan, or forced air, and if the cooling was sorted out I would like to unlock and reprogram the inverter/controller for a bit more power. Also, it would be loads of work and expense, but I would like to alter or replace the battery pack for a higher voltage to give the car more top speed plus more power without needing to alter the motors, etc, but then you may need to replace the inverters.
Beacuse it was filmed in autumn wouldn't the battery have a easier time due to the cooler temperature whereas the other model 3 vids where closer to summer?
You can buy some apps on iOS that lets you send the car commends with Siri, such as "Siri, Open Trunk." There is some other cool automation you can use, such as to crack your windows open, disable sentry mode, and fold your mirrors in when you arrive in your home garage.
I just come back from the Xsara VTS video and I'd say that's the reason electric cars will never be as fun as petrol powered cars, here it feels like a walk in the park... 🥱
You don't need to use Track Mode to launch your M3P. Track mode pumps oil through the battery to help keep it cool for long track sessions. To "Launch" your M3P (0-60 MPH), you need to have it in sport mode, have regenerative braking on, and simply smash the accelerator down. Regenerative braking does not require you to use your brake, which means you can have your foot over the accelerator pedal at all times. This improves your reaction time. So pull up to the light, have your foot over the accelerator pedal, and when the light turns green, you smash the pedal down. If you want to "Launch" even faster, you can use your GPS to locate a Supercharger, and the car will start heating up the batteries for supercharging. When the battery is hotter, it launches faster. When you are ready to launch, cancel your GPS supercharger location and then launch it. So you see, track mode does the opposite, as it keeps the battery cooler for longer track sessions and degrades your ability to launch faster.
In every EV you have ever seen. Current flow, whether charging or discharging, produces heat in the cells. That's a property of any chemical battery. All EVs manage this by a combination of BMS limits and batter cooling (either passive or active). The Tesla allows their batteries to discharge/charge at a rate that produces heat a little bit higher than the cooling system can dissipate. With continuous high current flow and heat generation in excess of cooling capacity, the heat will build up and the batteries will eventually exceed the temperature limits determined by the BSM. Some EVs prevent charge/discharge rates high enough to exceed this cooling rate, but that also makes their cars slower. With re-gen on the Tesla will go into reduced power mode at about 1/2 of a lap at the ring. With re-gen off the car can make it about 3/4 of the way through that track before triggering reduced power mode. The exact point somewhat depends on how hard the driver is pushing the car. EVs designed for racing use battery modules with increased cooling capacity. They also have higher maximum allowed battery temperatures because their BMSs aren't trying to protect a cell for a 1000 + cycles. Different chemistries and cell packaging can change an individual cells ability to dissipate heat. Also super capacitors can be used to absorb and discharge current from brake re-gen without ever touching a battery. I am not aware of any consumer cars using super capacitors at this time, but there may be a few. They are used in Electric busses, electric trains, and racing.
Is it using brakes to provide “torque vectoring?” Whenever making right turns, the right tires heat up on the screen, which is opposite of what should happen.
Hey Misha, great video as always, you mentioned that it still felt that some TC is still on it is, there is a short snow drifting video on my channel with M3P -10 stabilization as well, and it is visible how traction kicks in and even more it sometimes rotates front wheels(!) even though I was running 0|100 torque distribution. It drifts great though :)
You guys forgot to mention @MPP Model 3 Solid Front Lower Control Arm Bearings you can see @13:13 and few other frames, i am sure all rubber front bushings are gone?! Otherwise it is not a track tool.
Love the Aim display! But it only gps based right? We cannot use the can data on aim dashes..Or Do you know if there is a way to do so? Brilliant work and amazing video!
I wish Tesla would incorporate these improvements along with those recommended by Gruber Motors to at least their performance versions. Plaid and Performance models should be the best you can get at the time of manufacture, period.
They are trying to streamline production to get cars out so top end trims with maximum preformance are not a priority, they just started started offering 20k ceramic brakes, that price alone may have kept some from buying plaid if it came included.
Actually the motors are heating up too much at sole point, so their power will be limited after a while. That big batterypack needs a good while to get to a good temperature. Those batteries like it warm, the chinese M3 with the new battery type want to be heated up to about 50c for good performance!
Misha what do u think about all the people complaining about the Tesla plaid crashes in race track because of the brakes. People who crash say that the brakes are no good in race track. That they fade way to fast.
Yes, ofc it will accelerate thermal throtteling. Question is by how much and is it worth it to have more brake wear and less energy (therefore power) after every lap
Tesla is a good option as a universal car and for racing and for driving around the city, and the company has been around for several years bravo tesla
What on earth are you talking about? I just cant understand this blind devotion to Tesla. They really aren't very good for racing or track driving, the electronics aren't calibrated for track driving and they require significant modifications to handle it. The upgraded brakes and battery are overheating before even a single tourist lap, and the Nurburgring is not hard on brakes at all. Even this highly modified Tesla is still compromised for track use. Yes, driving around the city might be good but to say they are any good for track use is nonsense.
@@matgee8892 Not everyone can afford a few cars for the track, city, etc. Tesla is a phenomenon not because it is but because it crosses new technological barriers, and as a young automotive company is put in the top of cars, it is not perfect but shows that it tries to keep up with other brands and even overtake them.
Very cool improvements! Misha, do you know if Atomic had to do anything with the software programming on say the brake ABS/stabilization system for the big brake kit? Just watched a video on a new Tesla PLAID where the brakes were locking up at the back end and spinning the car around.
@@sickjohnson hmm, I wonder if that's a problem with the model 3 too. But I don't think so. The model 3 had been out for a couple of years so probably not.
Yeah sorry not for me on track, I don't want a particularly loud car while concentrating on driving at more than 8 / 10ths. Loud sounds actually dull your senses which you need for car control. You also can hear all the different parts of BEV strain and stress due to track driving. It's quite an interesting auditory experience that even Road & Track explored.
@@itslukkeee Not an RS but I have driven a 991.1 GT3 non RS. Yeah it massively muffles interesting sounds of the BEV functioning like Suspension & Tires. The mechanical induction package noise is GLORIOUS but that is just masking the experience of Controlling the car. FYI I own a Cayman.
Awesome share, have a random question. The brake lights are not normal. Normally the brake light would be in the middle with a little bar. On this car it’s the driving lights that light up. Any idea why ? Is that part of a tweak or upgrade ?
How lift-off oversteer works in Tesla? Does it act like spool diff when you're lifting off the throttle, so all the wheels are still under engine load, so it doesn't go into shopping trolley mode?
It actually does a lot of things to help flatter the driver, using brakes, engine and yes probably even subtle steering corrections. For instance the Model 3s is excellent with tramlining. Arrow straight with 9" wide wheels on rutted roads - where my old Audi would sniff the crowns like a terrier on speed the Model 3 just surfs along.
That suspension seemed to be washing side to side , I think the placement of the shocks are not welll designed and well balanced . Can that shop add an extra motor to the existing electric motor or drive shaft for more performance like a turbo addition to a combustion engine ? Lol I must patent my idea
The battery pack is already at maximum output so an extra motor wouldn't help. The Model S Plaid however does have 3 motors because it has a bigger pack with more power output. In fact all three motors have so much power they are carbon fiber wrapped to allow for around 20,000 rpms!

Hi Misha, very nice video 👍🏻 How do you compare your driving experience with the one with the Polestar 2 Performance you had 2 months ago?
You don't need to use Track Mode to launch your M3P. Track mode pumps oil through the battery to help keep it cool for long track sessions.

Agree , except for the part where you said it pumps oil through the battery 🤣
Can't wait to see Misha drive a Tesla Plaid or Roadster 2 around the track :)
best modification: adding a proper dashboard screen :)
Hopeful that since the new lfp 2024 SR can do a full lap with no overheat or lower power degradation the new performance variation will be the same.
At the end, you didn’t talk to him about the overheating brakes and hot battery - what about cooling mods?
I would think full regen (one pedal) would be faster. You'd get quicker braking off throttle and reduce friction material heat.
Regen puts more stress on the batteries and causes them to over heat and hit reduced power mode sooner.
Not in any EV I've seen. Any modern EV with battery management does not stress the batteries either with charging/regen or draw.
In every EV you have ever seen. Current flow, whether charging or discharging, produces heat in the cells. That's a property of any chemical battery. All EVs manage this by a combination of BMS limits and batter cooling (either passive or active). The Tesla allows their batteries to discharge/charge at a rate that produces heat a little bit higher than the cooling system can dissipate. With continuous high current flow and heat generation in excess of cooling capacity, the heat will build up and the batteries will eventually exceed the temperature limits determined by the BSM. Some EVs prevent charge/discharge rates high enough to exceed this cooling rate, but that also makes their cars slower.

Regeneration brakes change brake balance during the lap so your brakes will be not so predictable, also it bring some temp to system.
@@olegkucherov3898 gotcha. I didn't think about brake balance. I also wonder how it impacts modulation.

Very cool improvements!
Misha, do you know if Atomic had to do anything with the software programming on say the brake ABS/stabilization system for the big brake kit?
Just watched a video on a new Tesla PLAID where the brakes were locking up at the back end and spinning the car around.
Wow, what video was it?
@@sjorsangevare I hope this link to another channel doesn't piss off Misha...

@@sickjohnson hmm, I wonder if that's a problem with the model 3 too. But I don't think so. The model 3 had been out for a couple of years so probably not.
@@sjorsangevare Hard to know, but the PLAID is so new and doesn't have a Track mode yet still...so one can only guess?
Great goodies !!
How did it compare to the Polestar 2 run? (Performance, Handling, Brakes, Fun)
Interested to know about this too
Model 3 will spank it. Polestar 3 is heavier with much slower acceleration. This Model 3 is modified.
Damn every time after 10 minutes the battery overheats, wonder if the new m3p will be any better for track use.
Did they put in a performance exhaust? haha
If this is the future, I don't want it. For me sound is SO much of the experience
Yeah sorry not for me on track, I don't want a particularly loud car while concentrating on driving at more than 8 / 10ths. Loud sounds actually dull your senses which you need for car control. You also can hear all the different parts of BEV strain and stress due to track driving. It's quite an interesting auditory experience that even Road & Track explored.
Leave awesome engine sounds to comfortable big Highway Cruisers. I grew up in the same town as Holden HSV's HQ.
@@Neojhun You've obviously never driven a GT3 RS on track then I take it ha ha
@@itslukkeee Not an RS but I have driven a 991.1 GT3 non RS. Yeah it massively muffles interesting sounds of the BEV functioning like Suspension & Tires. The mechanical induction package noise is GLORIOUS but that is just masking the experience of Controlling the car. FYI I own a Cayman.
Awesome lap! 👍🏻 What dash is that!?
Its not really a dash it is AIM PDM32
Great POV 😏😏
hi, the extra display rear the steering wheel, which brand or product is ? culd you give me the link ?
AIM PDM32
Awesome share, have a random question. The brake lights are not normal. Normally the brake light would be in the middle with a little bar. On this car it’s the driving lights that light up. Any idea why ? Is that part of a tweak or upgrade ?
"Can't see nothing due to sun" goes 200kmh.
Needs a yoke. Can't see that screen in front of the wheel at all :)
This is how I drive Laurel Canyon at 3am :p
How lift-off oversteer works in Tesla? Does it act like spool diff when you're lifting off the throttle, so all the wheels are still under engine load, so it doesn't go into shopping trolley mode?
With regen active it will feel under load.
It actually does a lot of things to help flatter the driver, using brakes, engine and yes probably even subtle steering corrections. For instance the Model 3s is excellent with tramlining. Arrow straight with 9" wide wheels on rutted roads - where my old Audi would sniff the crowns like a terrier on speed the Model 3 just surfs along.
LoL! I'm watching with subtitles and instead of "do a lap" they said "dual app"! 😅
That suspension seemed to be washing side to side , I think the placement of the shocks are not welll designed and well balanced . Can that shop add an extra motor to the existing electric motor or drive shaft for more performance like a turbo addition to a combustion engine ? Lol I must patent my idea
The battery pack is already at maximum output so an extra motor wouldn't help.
The Model S Plaid however does have 3 motors because it has a bigger pack with more power output. In fact all three motors have so much power they are carbon fiber wrapped to allow for around 20,000 rpms!
@@flipadavis but the Tesla website stated that each wheel has its own ekcric motor on a Plaid? Meaning 4.. or did I get it wrong ?
@@kenrossaukrsa Only 3. 2 in rear and 1 in front.
love
