July 28, 2021: Just hours after taking delivery of our first (of 3) Plaids, it was out at Showtime Dragstrip for 20 runs!
Running on the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (21”), while racing against the fastest full-bodied cars we could find.

Glad to see you laughing and happy. I actually had the same “yay!/laugh” reaction as I was watching-not knowing you were going to laugh. Cool moment. “Just in Plaid mode; not even Drag Strip mode.” That Grand National is quick though! Jumps nearly one car length at the start.

As expected, the plaid did very well even with 80% charge. That’s really interesting. Also plaid mode seems to do very well comparing to drag mode (without launch). Also beside the performance, the car looks very good, wider than the Raven and has the stance. Can’t wait for the next videos.

That was an amazing set of competitors. I think that you spooked the Porsche Turbo because he blew both runs. He would have normally been one of the quickest and fastest cars at most any track, but then he probably saw your 6.2s at 119MPH and knew his goose was cooked. What was amazing about this is that you had some of the quickest cars that we have seen running at that track in a long time, and at least 5-6 of them would have beaten the Raven with their 6.50s and quicker at well over 105MPH, but even in "just" Plaid mode, nothing even came close. When you told the GN driver that you ran a 6.0 earlier it seemed to take the wind out of his sails. Well that's what you get when you turn up the boost on a Tesla! It's funny that it looks like everyone just runs out of steam half track, even if they get an awesome launch, but it's really just the Plaid which maintains that super acceleration through the whole run. I think that you will be even more astonished when you do some 1/4 mile passes, because from what I've seen online, the Plaid keeps the same acceleration through the 1/4 mile, running 150MPH+ So I think that the victories will be even more dramatic in the 1/4, at least until you get some contenders in that next set of pro-drag racers who run 9s and 8s. I am guessing that it will be like being the fastest gun, with quicker gunslingers seeking you out.

You’ll get used to the yoke in no time. I have 3500 miles on my Plaid, and now I can’t even remember that it was a little different feeling at first. I tend to use the one-hand “palm” method in the bottom corners for u-turns, 3-point turns, etc.

@@mikedawson3696 There are ALWAYS quicker cars, but the Plaid's performance rivals that can keep up are becoming more and more extreme and rare. The quickest of them will probably be trailered, and will certainly not be street or smog legal, and will have to be running on slicks. I seriously doubt that anything that comes close to the Tesla's performance will reliably survive 1000+ drag strip runs on the original race motor and drivetrain, compared to Andrew's Model S Performance which just passed that milestone without cause for concern.

@@deanmcmanis9398 That’s the problem reliability yes you can easily build a gasoline vehicle faster that was my point.

That plaid is I believe electric motors direct drive to the wheels could be wrong on that haven’t done much research on them.

@@mikedawson3696 You are right, there are many more driveline parts that are vulnerable to failure when you get past 600HP, especially the clutch, transmission, drive/half-shaft/u-joints. Electric motors usually have no transmission or clutch, belts, or chains connecting the engine to the wheels. Heat is a tremendous enemy when you make big power with a gas engine. The $3 million dollar, Bugatti Chiron has 16 cylinders, four turbochargers, and 10 radiators! And the Tesla Model S Plaid is easily quicker to 60MPH, and all the way through the 1/4 mile without even looking like it's working that hard. Plus the Plaid model can do it over and over, consistently and reliably.

This video is a year old, but still fun to watch your first drag races with the Plaid. That Dragstrip needs a longer shut off area so you don't have to use the brakes that hard. I am surprised how long it took you to get the car from Tesla. The Plaid sure does get up and go against all the competition. But anyway, thanks allot, enjoy your videos.

Hya Friend, I live in Spring Hill and have been to drags for many years. This S Plaid you drive is amazing and you just use it for dragging. Amazing you can afford that. I want to get a Tesla soon and am waiting for the company to settle down a little as every day there are new changes so I await a better time to buy. I love the fct Elon is so amazing a man and will really like to have one of his cars. I really enjoy how much of a gentleman you are and it very pleasing to watch your videos. I love driving but am older now and with the craziness in society I do not go for many rides in the forest just north of me any more. I love to watch your car and the excitement you record and I wanted to thank you very much. Ray C. Florida

Finally it is really the Tesla Plaid Channel! Blue with Cream interior, same as mine. 😀😀 I'm thinking I'll take off the spoiler as well. Then the only way you can tell it is Plaid is the carbon fiber accents on the interior. Supposedly the regular Model S can go 155 MPH without the spoiler and the Plaid 163 without the special wheels and tires. I think the spoiler is not really necessary.
