Note: ET’s always exclude Reaction Times! The time from Green Light to the finish line is the total of RT + ET. ET is the time from actually crossing the Start Line to crossing the Finish Line, irrespective of the driver's reaction to the light.
Reaction Times are a reflection of whether there’s a challenger next to me, what I’m testing, whether I’m trying to cut a light or not, etc.
Thanks Keith (528 Mustang) and all other drivers for these races!

I really appreciate the Drag strip education that you are providing. I am speculating that the water everyone is driving through after picking up their slip is a traction factor if it was a slow night and the water does not have enough time to evaporate. The water could be dripping off the car down the track. The track should correct the road so the water does not puddle for no other reason but safety.

I spontaneously clapped here (sitting ovation!) with that 5.99! Great going! With most other things being equal, the quickest run seems to be determined by your 60' times. That 1.46 60' was telling, and you could see the results of that launch carry through the 330' and 1/8th mile times. It shows that with the Plaid the charge level definitely makes a difference, but it's an accumulative effect with several factors all adding up to a better time,. And with great traction, the Tesla Plaid breaks records! Kudos!

Crag/Wind-resistance doesn't matter til 60mph. On the Raven, hitting ~100mph in the 1/8th, the mirrors folded in probably wouldn't make much of a difference. On the Plaid, hitting ~120mh in the 1/8th, i would think there could be several 1000's easily gained. The Plaid in the 1/4, mirrors in...at 150mph, could possibly get you multiple hundredths (we're talking a few feet), but every little bit adds up

Are you buying an F150 Lightning to charge the Tesla a bit between runs?

That Cougar he beat badly sounds like it’s in the process of destroying itself. They seem so archaic. Would they also be a lot more expensive? I would think so.

You got/trust FSD? I'm starting to enjoy these!
@TeslaPlaidChannel 2 жыл бұрын
None of our Tesla orders have included FSD. Frankly, it struggles with basic AP so much, I’m not convinced it can ever be an all-weather feature. It can’t even avoid a common pothole, so why would I want a feature that steers right into them?
@nocapitals9833 2 жыл бұрын
wait, so does this now mean you are now able to stage yourself in cheetah/drag stance every race from now on (if you feel like it), even if your opponents don't wait/know you are lowering your car? yeah i agree, tom is amazing guy it seems, i can't remember when, but i said it a while back. awesome video!
@TeslaPlaidChannel 2 жыл бұрын
It truly is a breakthrough. Still it super easy, and it requires first going past the beams and backing up to know that the tire is right next to the second beam. But if done correctly, and quickly, the other car can’t do anything to discourage the Launch Mode process. (Assuming the agreement is for them to stage first.)

Looking at these videos makes me think that do these high performance EVs take a way the motivation to build old school V8 drag racers? It is like old generation tech vs. new generation tech.
@TeslaPlaidChannel 2 жыл бұрын
Chevy and Ford have both released EV crate motors. Build an old school ICE or put an EV motor in an old school car instead. These races inspire people to try it a new way…

Congrats on the 5.99! IMO, I don't see what you have to gain deep staging. The clock always starts when the second beam clears either way so if you shallow stage, you'll already be rolling a few MPH when the timer starts. If you deep stage, you lose your 1 foot rollout and the timer starts from zero: so you should get a worse ET and worse MPH. I just don't know why your MPH was higher when you deep staged: perhaps just coincidence?
@TeslaPlaidChannel 2 жыл бұрын
Agree! And that MPH was just an anomaly I believe.
