HIGH VOLTAGE | UNPLUGGED AT PIKES PEAK - Behind The Scenes Documentary

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2021
- When you’re racing on the limit along the winding mountain roads of Pikes Peak, there’s a fine line between success and failure. With road and weather conditions shifting constantly, even purpose built vehicles struggle to make it to the top. They say it’s almost guaranteed that something will go wrong for each team during race week and your job as a driver, a race team, or a team manager, is to mitigate that risk as much as possible just to get your car to the top of the mountain. On race day, you’ve only got one shot and everything you’ve been working on for the last year needs to survive 156 turns to get to the top of the 12.42-mile road.
Last year, we took on the challenge of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb for the first time. With our favorite racecar driver, Randy Pobst at the helm of a modified Model 3, we were filled with excitement and potential. But then on the second day of qualifying at a turn nicknamed Bottomless Pit, our hopes and dreams of making it to the top, all came crumbling down.
Over the next several days our rockstar team of engineers and technicians did the impossible, they rebuilt and raced to the summit.This is our story of perseverance in the face of almost impossible odds and doing whatever it takes to get to the top.
Thank you to everyone who believed in us and who continue to believe in the potential of electric vehicles. This one is for you.

Great story, but what was really amazing was watching the team roll up their sleeves and get that car repaired in 2 days. The dedication and perseverance was inspiring. Failure was not an option for this team. A great video to watch over again.
Watching this in my model 3 performance!
Isn't it a crazy thought that the car that won was almost completely stock? The 'Electric Performance' one driven by Blake that is. All it had really was different tires and some stickers, it won the Exhibition class and was getting into Open Wheel times.
To think that cooling is the only issue these cars experience under such strain, even the Unplugged Performance vehicle is a totally stock powertrain with improved cooling. It's insane.
Tesla might get all the 'but but... my panel gaps' complaints, but damn can they make a seriously beefy and robust powertrain, no doubt about that.
Loved it. Can't wait for it. Also, Can't wait for unplugged Performance Model S plaid.
So i was right, Model S Plaid 😉♥️
Waiting for Unplugged Performance Roadster & Cybertruck 😃😀👍👍
REWATCH: Tesla Model S Plaid Event - Here's The Replay And All The Details: th-cam.com/video/j0MVNR7bdag/w-d-xo.html
So many more records are going to be made by Tesla
Thank you Unplugged Performance , that was amazing
Thank you too!
Absolute legend.. Cant wait to see this years car, gonna be amazing.
Can’t wait to see what you guys can do this year. Was so inspired by how you persevered last year!
I’m in tears and love the morale of this story. Be relentless in what you do and never give up. What a great comeback at 1.3s close to 1st. Kudos to the entire team and all well wishers. Looking forward to the Model S Plaid on the next one.
way to go randy me and my model 3 are there with ya.
This is why Tesla doesn't have to spend on advertisement :D
This guy is 63 years old...what a legend.
Yeah the Tesla community is so in love with the car is that they do crazy amazing stuff like they did in this video
does not "have to spend"? Maybe they should spend. They would sell more cars.
@@Executiveinvestments- they can't make enough of them to satisfy demand yet, so they really shouldn't bother for now.
@@dirzz you are joking right? There are dozens unsold sitting in the dealer lot right by my house.
@@Executiveinvestments- these must be used, because there's a quite a long waiting list for any new model, minimum of 4-6 weeks for model 3 performance, others for much longer than that.
I want to see the Unplugged Roadster do that run.
Me too. It would for sure beat any production car
What an awesome story! Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Felt good to relive the experience from last year, see all the details of the massive effort to rebuild and the bittersweet race outcome with the heating issue... Loved this, and looking forward to this year’s run! Go go go!
Perfect guy to speak and race, Randy.
Just epic!!! It made me tear up a little at the end when he was talking about the mission and what it stands for! Great people and a truly epic Randy with a beast of a model 3... Well here we are one year later and a MODEL S PLAID is about to fly up this mountain on June 27th. Cant wait 🚀
amazing documentary, can't wait for this years run!
Hands down one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam. Network quality video work. Amazing story. Awesome work by everyone involved!
Best Tesla thing I have watched this year!!! riveting - well done all.
There's a great lesson for life here! Never give up and stay determined at all costs! I'm sure that rebuild was a long and tough circumstance but all who were involved also know they became a part of something special, which doesn't happen often enough in life.
Incredible documentary.
Good editing, engaging, all around great video!
Lovely story and beautiful production. Thank you for sharing!
The power of the Tesla community is inspiring and we’re proud to be a part of it.
Bring on ‘The Plaid’!!!
Awesome video, great production and great story! Looking forward to seeing what the Unplugged Team has up their sleeve for this year!
This thing with max power is going to be….. insane.
Randy and Tanner are by far my favorite two Race Drivers highly skilled drivers that are some of the nicest two guys you could ever meet.
What’s that philosophical question - if you change a Tesla one piece at a time. Is it the same the Tesla or a different Tesla when every piece is changed. Hahaha great video
Ship of Theseus.... Or in this case Ship of Tesleus?
Every single cell in your body is replaced every ~7 years. Are you still you?
@@ElectricGlider2016 Car of Teslaus?
I have Abraham’s Lincoln’s axe. It’s just had the handle replaced 7 times and the head replaced 6 times.
What great guys. What wonderful attitudes. Inspirational... and not just in racing.
smashing 10 min this year !
Well done guys. inspirational story. Can not wait for Pikes Peak 2022
Can’t wait for the plaid run next week!!
I knew of Randy crashing the Tesla Model 3 at Pike's Peak... but I didn't know they did this. Much respect for the whole team.
I was in tears when the car crashed and how Randy was feeling emotionally, he is right about feeling he had for crashing the car team!
That guilt, that is the worst thing a racer can have!
At 13:15, you can see how shaken up he is, look at how badly he is shaking his right hand. That adrenaline dump is insane!
This deserves way more views, well made!
I don't know why but there are tears in my eyes. You guys are real heroes! Keep on going until the road begs you to stop.
I love the 80's style montage when they were cannibalizing the other Tesla to fix the race car!
Incredible effort to get the car rebuilt in time to run the race. This is a real testament to the human spirit. Good job guys!
No, you are going back with model S Plaid. I would say a 8 min run is a possibility with this Plaid beast. Good luck Randy!!
Really well-made video documentary. I can't wait to see the 2021season. Go UNPLUGGED!!!
Great video! What an amazing journey your team has accomplished. Well done!
Ben…..a man of purpose and determination…….just like John Wick😎
Great video, and well done to the team. This was an exciting story to follow last year.
Fantastic documentary. Great job. I really enjoyed the story.
So inspiring, Amazing job to everybody on the team
What a STORY!!!?... This was one of the best behind the scenes type vids I've watched in a long time. Congrats to eveyone involved.
Awesome video. I think looking back at this race 10 years from now... people may not remember the winner of the race, but people will remember the story of perseverance and determination. Congrats guys and looking forward to seeing you guys rip it up this year too!
EXCELLENT production! Can't wait for more
What an awesome documentary, very well produced! Looking forward to seeing this year's attempt in plaid!
Proud of you guys. Great story and we are rooting for you and you will be back again and win next time.
Awesome show! Good race Randy! Hope to see yous out there next year for the big W!
Thanks for the vid , it had me smiling 👍🏼
Awesome documentary, I can't wait to see Randy get first at Pikes Peak this year!
I love Randy
Chills at the segment ending at 4:28. Cinematography and music together overwhelm the limbic system when done like that!
Wow what an amazing story!
Love it!
Just a week away…. Can’t wait to see this race in person this year! So excited!!!
Appreciate the full story. Been piecing the bits together until now. Great job, ill be ordering some of your m3p upgrades soon.
Is Randy not the nicest guy in the World? He just exudes positivity. Even after the crash, love that he doesn’t utter any profanity. “Crappola”. I just want to be his friend. All that and one of the greatest drivers on the planet. Why everyone brings him out to extract the fastest track times out of any car presented to him. Shows when he posts track records in all these bone stock cars. Can’t wait to see what he’s going to do with the UP Plaid on the mountain!!!
This was so joyable to watch❤
Randy is awesome
New sub love this content. Randy is the man to.
What a story. what an experience...
Great episode! I greet you!
So impressed by this docu, and that from a small company
Yall cannibalized a whole car damn legends
Dude you ate the rock wall !!
Looking forward to getting my hands on some Unplugged Performance coilovers and swaybars here in the UK once I can get my insurance to not triple my rate. The Model 3 handles great stock but it has a little too much roll for my liking.
Great job Unplugged Performance team, both on the race and your amazing performance parts. :)
Respect
Loved this story. I'm betting I am not the only 'ol motorhead who got a little emotional toward the end when we heard the car was NOT at it's potential, Randy knew it wasn't YET HE and his Tesla ran a mere 00.01.1 behind the leader. What time 'could' he and that spirited little hotrod have posted had the car been able to give Randy it's all? We'll find out later this year. Great comeback story, well done Unplugged Performance Team, all those who supported the rebuild and that wiley 'ol veteran pilot Randy Pobst!
I never realized Bill Nye was such a great driver!
Such a good Doc!👏👏👏
This was so freaking cool I cant wait for the model s plaid though
The music at the start is : Lux - Ryan Taubert | she is in my favorite playlist and i directly recognize it ^^
great vid btw ! really like the content :)
Круто снято, просто супер
Can't wait for the Model S Plaid.
Great documentary.
Just one question, did you ever discover what the problem was with the batteries overheating?
Can't wait to see cybertruck on pikes peak
What an amazing story.!
If it hadn't been real, it would have made an amazing movie too.
But some times, real events can makes some of the best plots for a movie
Glad you are OK Randy. Some would/could say, with a future so bright, you should wear (some) shades 😎. Curious about more Unplugged performance and other companies traveling down the same road...or up, if you are talking about Pikes Peak.
Nothing but potential, roughly 400 Volts of it.
when roadster 2 comes out with the rocket boosters, man it will make world record to stand for a long time.
Amazing, time to buy some new coilovers.
An unplugged performance Semi would be so out of this world
Next year bring a model 3 and a plaid!!!
Going back in the performance 3? Or maybe the plaid u guys r running at laguna seca?
How much battery is left after flogging the Plaid up the hill like that? Do you use regenerative breaking for extra braking force?
Please tells us the name of the body kit on the 3. Very nice.
Guys, this is incredible! Model 3 again? I don’t think so… it’s time for Plaid!
Getting roadster gen 2 when available?
Where's the kid that's been sharking everyone at street races lol
A true riches-to-rags-to-riches story!
Never heard Randy Pobst cuss 😂
Going to fast for that corner especially with that bump
The new Tesla plaid is wrecking all super cars in plain circuit can't wait to see it on Pikes Peak.
👌
What spoiler you got on that?
So loss of power was due to restricted flow to the battery then? Was the battery replaced as well?
soft front suspension and giant (plexiglass) guerney flaps - for the low center of gravity to help braking
no flames no party :P
JUST DOOO IT!!!! lol
