When you stepped on it out the gate my first thought was "Wow... the sound of that motor whine.... hopefully mine will sound like that when i get it!" Then I realized the car is gutted. Mine won't sound QUITE like that. lol Though I DID order the 2024 Model 3 Performance with the more powerful rear motor, so.... maybe? yeah, probably not.
You can remove the rear seat (just the part you sit on, not the back rest) with just 2 clips and a few connectors. With that change alone you could hear the whine quite a lot.
@@Putersdcat Yeah, I know i'll hear something. My 2023 Model Y Long Range sounds nice when I mash the pedal, too. Was just shocked how loud it was when I first started watching the video. Then realized why it was so loud. lol
Great lap! I was just a few days ago with my LR and managed to do a few laps around the 9 minutes, which felt quite good for my first time with the Model 3 on the Nordschleife(I've been with other cars there). I got no battery over heat warning(I feel that the downside of track mode is that the battery gets preheated) but I got half way a pretty big warning regarding break temperature(expected). I have some DS2500, metal break lines and Ravenol R325 to upgrade it, so hopefully next time it's a different story.
As fast as it is, I'm still going back to petrol. But I kind of enjoyed it, for what it is. If you're into EVs only, I recommend it. (did 70.000 km so far)
@@Maxaker if you can have two or more cars and you can charge at home this is a better daily. If you can't charge at home or you can only have one car M2 (disclaimer: just my opinion, you milage may vary, don't get offended if you have one or the other and so on... 😆)
The car is pulling back. Battery and breaks were overheating. Also, steering is quite lively, and tires were not having the grip at the end. Very nice ride for almost a full round of the green hell. Breaks, tires, and suspension can easily be upgraded. But the battery overheating needs some serious tuning of the BMS and the heat pump.
@@mikapeltokorpi7671 brakes were not overheating at all, no fading, no degradation of performance. Tires got a little over inflated from the temperature by the end, but it's normal starting cold as i did here. Keep in mind that the only real temperature indication on the screen is the battery one, everything else is just estimated by the car. Suspension is already upgraded to a nice set of KW coilovers. As for the battery, yes, you feel some power reduction after 60% of the lap
It's both, sometimes you can pick up some little rocks that other cars brought to the track and the car makes some noises (the main one being the passenger harness hitting the rollcage)
Thank you! Unfortunatly I don't know how this overlay was done because Ringfreaks gave me the video already edited. But i know you can do it with Racechrono Pro and an OBD II bluetooth adapter on basically every car
Great run and lines! M3LR with AB owner here, any reason why you disabled the regen? Other than initial bite feel it may actually save you 5-10% per lap. Also, I feel it cuts a bit of power when under 50% soc, is that the case with yours?
@gonzorvf thank you! They explained to me that regen is deactivated to have better brakes control and to not have the car slow down by itself when lifting the "gas" pedal. Yes you can feel the power decrease depending on soc and temperature
LRAB Ring driver here too. Turning regen off also gives you longer battery life before overheating the pack. Use scanmytesla to check pack temp, your power cuts maybe due to a hot battery. Regen ON usually means "yellow battery" at 'Hohe Acht' the latest.
@@niclime172 Yeah, MUCH better brake control. More predictable to slow down, rather than taking your foot off the accelerator, car starts slowing down, hit the brakes to slow down faster, take your foot off the brake pedal, car continues to slow down quite rapidly, step on the accelerator.
@@niclime172 Mk VI with a roll cage from what I can see. VR6s weren't built anymore at that time - and they were never quick. I`d bet on some 1.8t blowup, never seen a Golf gap a M3P at low & mid speed like that.
@@madmat28 it looks like a Mk. V to me and i think there was a version with the VR6 and the double center exhaust like this one, but i'm not really a VW expert 😆
@@niclime172 ofc, you're right. I didn't have the R32 as "VR6" in mind, while technically they still were. And yet I refuse to believe we witnessed stock performance here. :)
I know that this particular one, with all the mods, did a sub 8 minutes lap in the hands of an experienced driver. Idk about a completly stock car, brakes would hold it back quite a lot
@@mikehike1703 i mean that the vast majority of ICE street cars cannot cool themself down enough to sustain multiple Nurburgring laps one after the other, just like the Tesla can't do more than two. I agree that it's easier to solve the issue with an ICE car, you can just add aftermarket cooling, while with the Tesla you're forced to take a break. We'll see how technology will evolve in the next generations 😁
Well track driving is demaning for the vehicle, it got a little hot just at the end, i wouldn't consider it that bad 😁 Also consider that sometimes, going really slow like in the yellow flag section it's actually worse for cooling because the airflow in the radiators is low
Like how the Tesla pulls out of the Apex...no slowing down

Good, hope you had fun! Yes good pads and fluid are a must for track driving on any car, you won't regret the upgrades 💪
Nice, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! ☺
Impressive driving
Thank you! There's still a lot to improve but I'm trying my best lap after lap 😁

@@niclime172 Ah, it was a tire pressure sensor on front passenger wheel (briefly). Those can give false readings quite easily.
Nice thanks for sharing and cool mods 👍💪
Is gravel I can hear during the lap or is the car making those sounds ?
It's both, sometimes you can pick up some little rocks that other cars brought to the track and the car makes some noises (the main one being the passenger harness hitting the rollcage)
Great video!! could you share how you do the speedometer and the map track on top right of video? thanks

Great run! Is everything stock? what kind of tires?
Thank you! The car is not stock, you can see the mods in the description ☺️
@@niclime172cool mods. Hard to tell from the vid, do you know what your battery percentage went from the beginning of your run to the end?
@@natew2031 it uses around 40% of battery every lap

I imagine that people who race want to have consistent driving experience but regen braking is doing whatever depending on temps and SoC.
nice ! too bad no rear view
Good idea, i'll try next time 💪

nice video. But, i still prefer an ICE car on the ring. Example an Lexus LFA.😊
Very comparable to a Model 3 😅🤣
What kind of lap time can the model 3 performance do at the ring?
I know that this particular one, with all the mods, did a sub 8 minutes lap in the hands of an experienced driver. Idk about a completly stock car, brakes would hold it back quite a lot
is regen off?
Yes regen is off to have lower battery temps and better brake feel
For those who say that Teslas are only fast on a straight line.
The low center of gravity really masks the weight 👀
@@mikehike1703 like the vast majority of street cars, electric cars needs charging, ICE cars needs cooling 🤷🏻♂️
@@mikehike1703 the vast majority of cars cannot handle track heat and needs to stop to cool down (probably after just one lap)
