A Tesla rocking TE37s... I never knew I needed this.
TE37 everything!
@@estewarrior1 if only I could afford to.
Steven Walther i feel sorry for thoss rims being on that bloody car 😔
@@ILMNTI why? Those rims are probably gonna get more work than on some stance clown's Lexus that tops out at 30MPH.
My supervisor at Tesla bought a model 3 and dropped it and put some te37s week one.
I'd love to see Sasha build a full blown race Tesla with aero and the works.
We need a full blow Time Attack EV and see how it compares to his hybrid 350Z!
One day my friends, one day.
@@MountainPassPerformance awwwwww yissss
@@MountainPassPerformance The internet is counting on you! Hahaha
Upvoted! I'd like to see that
It's crazy to see them speeding around the track, but having a regular conversation with no engine noise.
It’s been a few years, but the silence of an electric car on track is still so weird. What a beast
maybe Tesla can take inspiration from BMW and use Hans Zimmer developed like artificial sound on EVS to make them sound awesome!
@@capedcrusader4055 you know its crazy i have a maserati grantirismo 2018 modified with all you can put it.. x pipe, drive by wire.. etc. and i bought a tesla y performance and now im like... do i wanna drive the maserati? love the sound tho but its like passing from the future to trucutu! lol
"it's not tuned for time attack or track" *way faster than my TT car*
Laughing at all the butthurt comments about it "not being an SUV" because people can no longer find anything else negative to say about Tesla spanking high end sports cars. True car enthusiasts can enjoy all cars for what they are. I enjoyed watching this.
I watched the Model 3 video from the Tesla factory in Fremont when it was first uploaded. Now i'm watching this Model Y video from the Factory!! Loving this!!! :)
It's weird hearing ppl be able to talk while going this fast.
Man. Listening to Sasha talk is just fascinating.
And watching how well Dave and Sasha get along is always great to see. Two guys who obviously have a lot of experience on track.
Test drove the single motor model 3 and was impressed. The performance models really step it up.
I rode in my friend's ludicrous model S. I was mind blown by how fast it accelerates. It almost seemed like it violates physics. Imagine experiencing half the time in next-gen Roadster with compressed air thrusters
Haha having some fun on the Track with the Model Y Performance. Can’t wait to see Cybertruck’s on the Track & off-roading
Friend bought a dual motor Model 3 for tracking. This hit home and made the project feel validated!
One really has to drive one to understand. I drove a model 3 all wheel drive not even the performance and I couldn't believe the way it took off, glued to the road without tire spin and it felt like slingshot on the road. Just amazing, it was so much fun to drive I can't stop thinking about it lol
You havent been in a fast car, they feel slow unless its the plaid
@@vicentechamberlain579 what you don't understand about my comment is for a regular "non performance" compact car yes it is super fast in fact faster than many performance sedans. And yes I have been into faster cars but they were dedicated performance sport cars like the Porsche Turbo S
@@vicentechamberlain579 Tell me you have been in a formula 1 car, otherwise, you have never been in a fast car.
@@travellover3373 apples to oranges this makes no sense, comparing it to a tesla? Have YOU been in a formula one car?
@@vicentechamberlain579 you should have thought of apples and oranges before you replied to his comment, now it just makes you appear hypocritical. No, I haven’t been in a formula one car but in circuit racing, I know, they are the quickest, so others, including your fast car, is slow compared to them.
Can you imagine a High Performance Race Car trying to chase down this Family SUV Tesla and not being able to catch it?
I'll have to stick to imagining
My personal reasons for wanting an electric car is 1) I’m an electrician, 2) I hate stopping at the gas station to get gas, the ease of use to drive to work plug it in then drive home and plug it in.
Honestly, I've never heard many people complain about purchasing an electric car...combustion engines are expensive to maintain. I think you'd spend less on a new electric car+lifetime maintenance than a combustion engine car+lifetime maintenance. I used to be an mechanic, but that was before electric vehicles were really a thing, and I would buy an electric vehicle in a heartbeat, if I wasn't disabled.
@@AaronHendu question is: how long does the battery last? But I guess people don't buy cars because they want them to last more than a couple years anymore anyways...
@@laurean5998 8 yr warranty on Tesla batts.
@@coleboonecustoms yes, so if the battery goes bad after 8 1/2 years the car gets crushed. People used to buy cars to drive them for 20+ years, if not the rest of their lives, and now you don't expect your car is to not be a toxic pile of junk 12 years afer you bought it...
@@laurean5998 8 yrs is 4 x the 2 yrs you mentioned. Also, Tesla has a plan for used car batts: repurpose them for residential solar systems. After 8 years the bats may still have 90% residual capacity. Tesla batts will be good for an avg of 11 years in a car.
Two thumbs up from me. What a great result from Mountainpass Performance.
To clarify electric motor performance: the power an ICE produces varies according to the speed at which it spins. There's a sweet spot in the middle where an engine makes it's max power and torque. But they're weak at low rpm, so you have to build up the revs, and the power tapers off at high rpms so you have to bring the revs down. Using a transmission, the engine can turn at different rpm for any given road speed. For example: you're travelling at 40mph in 4th gear and the engine is turning 2000rpm - but there isn't enough power to accelerate... you can change to 3rd gear, the rpms then go up to 3000 where the engine makes more power. EVs can make tremendous power and torque right from 0 rpm and throughout most of their rev range, thus negating the need for a transmission. However the motors still have a power curve that tapers off at high rpm. Since they have no gears, the relationship between motor rpm and road speed is fixed. In other words, high speed equals high rpm and vice versa. Therefore the faster you go in an EV the weaker it gets as motor power tapers off.
EVs could use gears, but they don't for some reason
@@marioformicadae6637 With a very narrow operating range of several thousand rpm, ice cars use multiple gears because they have to. High performance EV motors only use a single speed step down gear because they have such a wide range (0 to over 20,000rpm) of power and torque delivery… they technically could use a multi speed transmission, but it would only serve to hinder performance due to mechanical losses caused by directing power through unnecessary gearing. That being said however, lower end, less powerful electric motors could benefit with the right type of transmission (see Inmotive), providing more more speed and efficiency with two or three gears.
Impressive would be an understatement. No wonder a lot of the small autocross venues don’t allow awd electric cars. I guarantee they would smash records on a spec tire.
I’ve driven at a club with a model X in the run group. It was ridiculously fast.
Damn .. us gas motor guys are in trouble..
It's so funny listening to two guys have a casual conversation like that on a race track. They are comfortable in their element. Cool video, guys!
What an amazing looking Model Y Sasha! That wheel / brake combo is so killer!
I was hoping it would be Sasha as soon as I saw Tesla in the title. 285 series tire on all corners of that thing?! Wow!
Following the same formula as the ZL1 1LE (notice it was the top of the top in rankings), it’s got like 305s...in the front. If 1LE had traction control for performance would be pretty incredible.
“We’ll take the car in and charge it up to get you the best time”....I’m sure the Porsche Turbo S driver was “ WTH, I’m ready to go now!”
Incredible how well we can hear your discussion in the cabin during the practice lap and the hot laps. You can really pay attention to your suspension and what the tyres and brakes are doing. Would love to try take a Tesla to Winton Raceway (about 2 hours drive out from Melbourne, Victoria Australia) but the disappointing thing is the range will mean a very limited track time. No superchargers at the track either (as far as I know). Unless I trailer the tesla up
Great job Dave and Sasha! It's a quite an example of the future of daily driver cars. The Mountain Pass Performance mods take a great crossover and turn it into something that can hang with serious hardware on the track if you so desire. It looks the business too!
I was reluctant to watch an SUV on a track but I am glad I did. Nice work.
Its not an suv
Awesome video, I remember Sasha from when he was doing r and d on the Nissan VQ, many, many years ago. Nice to see him having success.
compare how much time Sasha drives on this track and the man in the Porsche :)
very valid point 👌💯.... sometimes I wonder about these guys...I'm sure Sasha would've did a faster time in the AWD Integra... they should have him do laps in all three cars to make this video/comparison valid.. where's the control in this experiment 😂
@@duomaxwell5807 The Integra beat the Model Y
@@JT-ow3hq Oops. So this video is fanboy clickbait?
@@Bedey53 But neither is the Y. It's a CUV...basically a HATCH.
@@billcichoke2534 the model y is a suv
I want to upgrade mine.. Tesla Y perf. Is amazing but now I want to go faster.,
I for one, welcome our electric overlords.
I love the cameo from the kswap 240
That was me driving. It was so awesome!
Proof positive TE37's can make any car look good.
You might want to look at Tech Forum's screen lowering mount.
9:58 did you really just throw up “the shocker”? 😂 love it.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY THIS CHANNEL DOESN"T HAVE A MILLION GOD DAMN SUBS.
Couple of weeks ago I was at Grissom Air Force Base. There was a SCCA race ( the Hoosier challenge). Saturday there was a kick-ass Porsche GT4 tearing it up super fast. One of the fastest guy of the day. Sunday a new Tesla 3 came out they're in the same class of cars the only two in that class.
The Tesla 3 beat out the Porsche at the end of the day but they were really close all time what the course did sound better because it actually made noise but it actually was one of the best sounding cars there.
One pedal driving is amazing.
A lifted hatchback is not an SUV. That's a crossover
Was about to say looks more like a modern hatchback. I wouldnt have said suv at all.
A ford explorer is barely an SUV Much less this thing
crossover suv ?
It has more cargo space than my Cayenne.
@@thomprd So do most hatchbacks, doesn't make it an SUV
Sasha wow. You are so knowledgeable man, i wish i could meet you one day at TMP.
The way that thing handles the curbs is really impressive. I love my ICE cars(I drive a big V8 Mustang), but I cant wait for some cheaper electric sportscars to come out in the future. Ive driven a few Tesla's and a bunch of other electric cars, and they are really impressive.
"it's beautiful to look at". Each to their own is all I can say.
same, i see one everyday and it gets more odd looking everyday i see it
Heavy on the want
If it was my car I would be setting it up for much more rotation given your need to get the wheel straightened out to get full acceleration. Drive it like a modern F1 car and make your cornering more V shaped. Late and hard on your brakes, get it rotated quickly and straighten out the wheel to use that acceleration.
And this was without the track mode I believe? so there is likely a little more that can be pulled out of the car.
For sure track mode will make it significantly faster.
One advantage is the commentary while on the track is easily heard.... :-)
Dang super impressive!!!! I am mond blown!
At this point in time, after driving all the other Tesla models, Did you really expect any less?
As my friend Bob Bondurant used to say, "Almost every car made has more capability than the driver has talent."
the TE37s in blue don’t work on this car for me at all
100% agreed.
Black would have looked a bit better, though for a car it's size those wheels look a bit too small for its bulk.
CORRECTION NEEDED. THESE WHEELS ARE NOT ON THIS WEBSITE.
The wheels are 20x11 +40 Volk TE37 Ultra in MAG BLUE:
www.mackin-ind.com/
I like to see time attack Tesla with aggressive Aero Dynamic
I don't think it will help much on a track like this, the cars are pretty heavy and TMP is a slower track. Aero works exponentially better the lighter cars get and the faster they go.
@@gxexrxmxaxnx also mirrors are bulky and they can substantially increase the drag
The Model Y crushed it!
Can we get a small video on that 600hp AWD turbo Integra? That just sounds awesome
Great video, love the Motul plug on the door when it’s an electric vehicle 😎
He might be running Motul brake fluid.
MeatPopsicl good point
I love this thing!
Try running errands, and sitting in traffic driving a turbo 911.
I would love too
@@pdr1787 Yeah, for a day our two so would I, but really high performance ICE vehicles with manual transmissions aren't all that easy or fun to deal with at low speeds.
Richard Alexander I drive a 71 Porsche as a daily and I love it. The newer ones are even easier to drive.
looks sweet
everyone loves this....
I wish these things could tow ~4.5-5k pounds, I'd buy one as a daily and tow vehicle for in-town track events.
Currently only rated at 3.5k lbs for towing, but I'd bet that goes higher in future models.
@@ataraxy272 Hopefully so. 3.5k would be pushing it for me unless the trailer only weighed about 700lb :)
@@blackmkiv Theres always the Cyber truck. Its not pretty and its not "built for the track", but estimated specs show 14k lbs towing capacity, and the Tri-Motor version says it can do 2.9 sec. 0-60... Of course I'll believe it when I see it.
Model X can tow 5k and does 0-60 in 2.6 /shrug
I have been towing 1.5-2k pounds with my Y performance and it makes it seem super easy. I'm betting you wouldn't have any issues with 4.5-5k. I assume the rating is partly tire and rim related. I have seen people towing around 5k with a model 3.
I would suppose that racing enthusiasts, with electric interests, are going to have some great moments and advances in a short period of time.... :-)
Sasha sounds like Mandalorian! 🤩
I love all the race lingo in this video, “shakaan”, “dogbone”, “smashing curb”!
I will admit I’m not to sure what some if it means though, other than the curb one lol.
I do track day driving and I have no idea what those mean either. Apex, Track out, understeer, oversteer, trail braking, ride the curb, dogleg , chicane, esses .....
Good God you almost hit 190 km/h in that huge electric suv that's nuts
Dude was doing 70kmh + in the last corner too!!!
Its not an suv
Elon owes you, this is the first time I've been interested in a Tesla. Awesome SUV!
Its not an SUV
Tesla Model Y = Street Family Car / Beast In the Race Track
So this isn’t the performance model? And how would the 11” wide tire fit on a Y straight off the truck? Poke out the fender much?
This is cool!
They make 285/35r20 XL for the Yoko A052s now! Maybe it will shave off a few milliseconds off the lap time for the Model Y?
Loved Sasha giving him the lowdown on how it drove.
It looks slow because there is no engine sound but man this thing will lap my car on this track lol
Wouldn't putting into service mode disable all of the issues with full power with steering angle. DragTimes channel put his into Service Mode and was ripping AWD Donuts.
At 7:22 the Mountain Pass Performance guy said electric cars don't have gears. When more accurately he should say most electric cars don't have gears as I would think he was aware of the two speed transmission on the Porsche Taycan.
But nice mods on the Model Y.
Why not develop a way to use regenerative braking to slow you down quickly? Just a thought.
Nice!! The future of racing.... :-) Thing is I would think that the demographics are widely separated between electric car buyers and track car drivers.... :-)
Did they mention which trim of Model Y?
Wait a minute.. Did I see 192 being hit at the 11:12 mark in a M-Y??? That second driver was really cooking on the track. I almost thought that was mph because I thought this was somewhere in the US... based on the voices. Nice
Not to nit pick, but power is calculated as 2*pi*Motor speed*Torque. For electric motors, the power usually builds up to peak near the max motor speed, while the torque weans down with speed. So off the launch, you felt max torque, and not max power.
Awesome video, any thoughts on when track mode will be out? Do they feel this will be a huge change on being able to put the power down?
Wait...tell me, is the speedometer is in kph? oh yeah....o Canada!
And the rest of the world.....
If I had the money. I would buy a tessy
then get the money
That doesn't look like an SUV or at least what I think of as a traditional SUV e.g. Rav4, CR-V, 4-Runner etc.. I need to call up Elon and ask him what's up. ;) But anyway, Tesla is so cool.
Yet it has more room inside than those SUVs.
Only 4runner is an SUV from what you mentioned, lol CRV? RAV4? Come on dude.
The Landcruiser is the king of SUVs
Lexus LX 570
Lexus GX
Range Rover
Land Rover defender
Mercedes G class
Those are called SUVs not some crappy crossovers that try to be one.
Model Y is more like a raised hatchback, I still like it though.
Free I mean you can call it whatever specification it fits, before we bough our Model Y, we were considering other SUVs so our family could fit. Either way it is a great car.
I really hope they make like a traditional but futuristic looking SUV. I know there is Model X but that thing looks like if Model S had an older brother. Some like it, some don't. They would really tank ICE sales if they made an appealing Lexus alike if not a very high tech looking SUV seating 5 or 7.
@@JakubKudlacz its not about functionality, its about looks. It doesn't look appealing and it looks like a tall sedan
Use the brake pedal to super regenerative brake, then when the car senses it's slow enough, it will kick in the regular brakes.
What time does one get from a similarly tuned Model 3 without track mode?
if this is thing is this rapid, wtf will the new roadster do?
It will murder, I guess??
Gotta be a way to disable the steering angle power cut
Can the Y lap the Nurburgring in under 8 minutes and have no issues over heating? Didn't think so.
It's more like a big ass electric Toyota Matrix rather than an SUV, basically a fatter, taller Model 3. It surely doesn't look anything like the "SUVs" from other makers.
At take off and the first 20 seconds I thought it was stupid fast.......then realised the Speedo is in kilometres 😲
Still chuffing quick for a big electric bus.
I’m sure it’s partly a safety feature but will the front axles and CV’s be able to handle full torque with the wheel turned over?
So this is faster than the plaid X?
I'd take one.
Would be curious to see how a turbo v8 X5 would compare on the track.
I have a more Y. I just got some te37 20x10 +30 do you know if I could fit the 285/35 on there if I have it on bags? Or would I need the control arms? Also either way do you know how much camber is on this Y?
Imagine this but 1400 pounds lighter lol
carbon fiber body and silicon nanowire Tesla battery!👌
7:45 For track, should these cars get a smaller gear reduction, then?
No Gearbox or transmission in current Teslas, thats why you lose some horsepower at higher speeds. The Porsche Taycan has a 2 speed gearbox which is what makes it faster at higher speeds than the Teslas, but you also lose efficiency from friction having a gearbox.
ataraxy272 There must be a gear reduction. Otherwise, you’re saying the car tire and motor RPM are the same.
There is a reduction gear in each motor. For my understanding they are different ratios, front shorter than rear.
And now? It has track mode, better?
I dont get why its caled an SUV its a van like a VW Touran or rather a Golf Plus dont know if you have it in the us but the Golf Plus would have the same size I think
Damn that's quick. It's interesting because obviously it has the really high roofline and large back cargo area by the looks of it, but I couldn't imagine taking it off-road. Blurry lines between SUV, crossover and saloon. It's Has Sasha ordered a cyber truck too?
Sure have
@@MountainPassPerformance Hahah excellent. I look forwards to the results!
What kind of horsepower does it make at say 20 percent charge out of curiosity? Also curious of how many laps you get out of a full charge. That's an awesome vehicle.
Put this engines in another American car brands would be a good idea to do 👌👍😎😍😍
Come on Dave, it's a big boy get up on that stuff. 😆
Can this te’s specs work on stock model y performance?
Are we going to see some modified [awesome engine here] based gensets being towed being a Tesla to the track?
