When it‘s from solar or wind energy it‘s fine, otherwise not that much difference. I don‘t think it‘s going well in the long run, when 50mio people charge their 500hp EV‘s.
Yeah, that steering wheel was kinda hokey. It looks like Tesla was trying to copy Knight Rider's Kit car. It did accelerate pretty quickly though. 165mph might have been the tops though.
@@George-kq8iw Yeah because everyone is driving 300 km/h all the time, right? Acceleration is much more important because you have to slow down again and again because of someone slower appearing in front of you.
Ummmm… I’ve watched this several times and found myself psychologically bracing myself each time you would floor the pedal and fly by everyone on the road, as though they were standing still!! Loved this video!! Thank you!!!!
top speed of a Tesla Plaid without limiter? It actually achieved a top speed of 216 mph (348 km/h) and it looked like it could have gone faster, but they were running out of tarmac and braking space - despite having upgraded the brakes themselves with third-party brakes.
Wait until you realise it takes nearly 2 full days to charge one of these cars........then you will be psychologically bracing yourself for the electric bill!
my dream daily car. i have a model 3 performance as a daily and it's acceleration is super crazy. i cant imagine what Plaid feels like. it will be like a proper rocket ship.
btw someone took the whole body off of a model 3 performance and left only the necessary stuff so the car can be driven and shaved a whole second from the acceleration. So it was 2.8s or something like that 0-100 :D crazy what you can do with weight removal. That's close to plaid performance.
I test drove the model s plaid the other week in LA. It's the fast acceleration i've ever felt in my life, car or otherwise. Closest feeling to describe it is a passenger jet taking off, with a rocket booster strapped to the back. It's almost too much 🤣
I have only seen maybe one or two in LA in the New Orleans area. They are insanely fast in their acceleration. If only the charging infrastructure was better.
I have a Zero SRS, it accelerates about the same but tops out at 120mph or so. Most people are still not aware how fast these things are. I can go from a dead stop at a red light to almost 80mph by the time I have crossed the intersection. Those cars are amazing. I've heard that there is an option for a round steering wheel if you cant deal with that one.
The Tesla Model S Plaid is a very quiet car for traveling at such high speeds. Also leave to Tesla to come up with the most oddly shaped steering wheel when a steering wheel should be round.
That’s OK, you have an extra $80,000 in the bag because of it. Nine times out of 10, when can you use that type of acceleration anyway? You can’t do it here or in the United States
@@chrisk920 Well, in the Czech Republic the acceleration itself isn't limited, so you can use it pretty much anywhere. Noise is not an issue with Tesla either. Of course, the quality of the roads is a different matter. There aren't too many good enough to fully enjoy this, plus the speed limit is always a factor (sadly, no road segments with no speed limit like in Germany, I so wish we had those here).
Agreed, achieving acceleration that way isn't the point, impressive but totally missed it. No pops, no bangs, no gear changes, no noise, no smells. Just not what a car is about, for me at least.
I was a passenger on a tesla plaid when it accelerated before. You don't know how fast and the g force applied until you feel it. It's insane. Even if you know that the car gonna accelerate and you brace for it yet the effect is still overwhelming everytime
Some guy in the US was able to bypass the electronic speed limiter. the only physical change was tires rated for insane speed. He did 212mph or 340 kph.
very, very impressive but like some other Plaid drivers mentioned: it’s a boring car after you got used to the crazy stupid acceleration. I can imagine why they say this after watching this otherwise excellent video.
Bro the fact this thing can almost instantly go to the speed you want, it's literally a computer in the form of a car that's extremely fast. No wonder those are so expensive
It's still pretty expensive considering the awful build quality it has. I have no problems with EV's, but Tesla is kinda like Apple. Functional and innovative, but soulless and overpriced.
@@huzzzer6083 the build quality is not awful... I don't feel the least bit bad for folks like you who do know what they're missing out on with these cars, if you can afford one to begin with

165 MPH isn't bad, but it's a long way from phenomenal. My C7 ZR1, with the ZTK option, will do 215 MPH and I can fill it with gasoline in a couple minutes versus having to plug it in and let it charge for hours. Btw, my neighbor has a Tesla Plaid and its battery failed, wouldn't take a charge, and Tesla wouldn't repair it under warranty since he raced it at a 1/4 mile track. He said they were happy with his ET's, however. I thought he was joking but he was serious and showed me the paperwork stating repair was not covered under the warranty due to "competitive use".
@@cassiespencer6134 The acceleration is insane, top speed could be better yes.

I just charge it where I park it and when I'm back, it's fully charged and ready to go.
@@ghostrider_2005 It's the charging aspect I'm not thrilled about. That said I'm primarily referring to the need to charge when on a road trip for example since doing so takes substantially more time than refueling.

And the next morning when he went to go to work it wouldn't "start". The battery was dead and wouldn't take a charge. So he ended up having in flat bed towed to the Tesla dealer who informed him it was not covered by warranty due to racing.

Btw, I didn't ask what that did to the piggy bank.
Choose your speed - and you're doing it. If you are coming from an ICE car, overtaking is different - DO NOT accelerate before pulling out or you will hit the car you are overtaking in the rear end.
Speaking as someone driving a 2008 Renault Modus, this is insane. I can barely do 140 KPH before my engine explodes. Just going from 120 to 140 takes time...
Most fellow Americans I know assume that there are no speed limits on German autobahns. Not true. There are unlimited sections but there are also many speed restricted sections so it is up and down up and down.

How is a yoke steering legal in germany?
Most fellow Americans I know assume that there are no speed limits on German autobahns. Not true. There are unlimited sections but there are also many speed restricted sections so it is up and down up and down. German law requires you to ensure you have enough fuel (and now battery reserve?) when driving on the autobahns. And, if you have a breakdown you are required to post your warning triangles immediately. That is usually a tipoff that the “disabled” car up ahead on the side of the road is a camera car because they never put out the triangles. (Camera car = getting flashed = speeding ticket).
