The brake test is highly inaccurate given that you count and then stop. Sound takes time to travel through the walkie talkie and be processed by the receiver, then they act on the countdown. It would be more accurate to use a physical barrier or even measure the feet it took to stop from when the brakes were applied. I can tell the other driver does not start braking until about 1 second later after the Tesla has started braking. You can also try with the other driver doing the countdown so it's not one sided.

The Plaid has beaten other 1000+ hp petrol cars relatively easily due to the instant and flat torque curve of the EV motors as well as no need to shift along with superior traction control offered by electric motors. So the fact that hat this 1000 hp M3 did this well is hugely impressive.

Keep in mind the weight, and although its very benificial that ev's don't need gears, they do allow for more low end torque and higher top speed, with the downside of having to shift and work into the powerband. But the main pro is that the tesla is able to do that stock, while the M3 needs special fuel and huge mods which will compromise its reliability. M3 was very impressive but still i wouldn't buy a gas car for the speed, but for the engaging driving experience. Ev's are also egaging but while gas is engaging with the car, ev's are engaging with the road.

@taipoxin 3 ай бұрын

@@TB-vb3ov This is misinformation. The 163 mph is simply a hard software limit by Tesla since the car does not have the Track Package from Tesla, which uses tires rated for higher speeds as well as carbon ceramic brakes for improved stopping. With the Track Pack installed, the software unlocks the full top speed to 200 mph. On top of that, the Plaid motor is less sensitive to voltage, so it doesn't matter much with lower SoC. The flat power rating comes from using a different magnetic laminate design internal to the motor as well as carbon overwrapping to minimize the rotor-stator gap, which lowers the back EMF of the motor. This allows it to maintain a linear power curve up to about 18,000 rpm.

In Track Mode the Plaid is limited to 175mph instead of Drag Mode 165mph which he used here. Don't know why, think Drag Mode is for 1/4 Mile races.... So the Plaid would have taken the 1/2 Mile and on the Rolling Race the M3 was accelerating before the Plaid, guess the guy tried to time the gas and actually pushed even farther before the Pedal because normally from a rolling no ice engine can react as fast as a Plaid and also beat the constant Powerband, just can't. But they could have switched lanes, because espacially on the Brake Test, the Lane of the Bmw looked more wet. So all in all seems pretty much a draw by me.
