This video made me think this would be super fun car to have. Who wouldn't like to have a car you can customize that much. A drift mode too. Thanks for sharing sir, awesome video.

Love my late 2019 Model 3 Performance. People that don’t own one don’t get how amazing this car is. I’ve owned a number of cars over the years and frequently change out what cars I have in my garage but one thing I’m 100% sure of is I will always own a Tesla Model 3 Performance. In my eyes, this car is THAT good, while being the ultimate daily driver. Great video, thanks!

I don't care what anyone says about the Model 3 Performance. The car is freaking amazing! Especially at its price point.

Some pretty interesting tech in these Teslas.

just picked up a 2020 M3P from Tesla last week and can't stop driving this thing!!!! My 718 is collecting dust at this point....this thing is too much fun!!

This has been covered. The bias changes only happen when the wheel isn't straight. So you could do donuts easily. But in a straight line it's basically as normal. Super cool vid. Tesla continues to improve for the enthusiast!

This car never gets old and bored.Always somthing to do like my smartphone

4:45 From earlier vids and Tesla Engineers -- when going straight the only front or only rear do not happen ... any turning will change the bias.

social distancing ...... drag times style!

I am genuinely excited for Model S 2020 performance

Always love your vids. Did some DRAGY 0-60 runs in track mode at 98% SOC. Quickest times were 50-50. Slowed by .1 seconds each time I switched bias. Again as most have said, dont use track mode in 1/4 tracks, only road courses or autocrossing. Great job...!!!

I honestly love my model 3 performance but having Brooks say that this car is so much fun and great even when he has all those exotics and super cars... definitely makes you feel even better.

Was waiting for this video ever since I found out Track Mode V2 is coming!

Dragtimes Great Video I think Track mode V2 is Absolutely Incredible and I can't wait to see what other content you come up with

Some tips: Try to always look where you want your front end to go, not where it is going. Is the only way you have to react correctly on the steering and recover the drift. Try to keep your hands at 9:15 with no exceptions. You might need to turn the wheel more that 180°... in that case one hand goes off the wheel, the other keeps turning but your left hand stays on left spoke and right hand on right spoke. It take a while to get used to but once you make it natural it's just night and day. Thats the only way we have to use the right amount of steering angle and understand what is the car doing. Throttle control will come alone once you act correctly on the steering and with your eyes. Car control is 90% technique... than there is talent that make you fast in a track. Unlikely I'm stuck at home because of the virus but I've briefely tested the track mode V2 on my M3P and it is such an easy car to drift and have fun with that it really deserves to work on our personal skill and take advantage of it!

I'm going to check out that software. Looks really cool. Thanks for the videos while I'm stuck at home.

I think you found out how to warm-up the tires at the 1/4 mile track.

Great video Brooks, I have been messing with my car like crazy with trackmode V2 - its crazy fun

This is exactly the information I was looking for to figure out how to set it up properly. Thank you.

Not interested in Tesla but found this analysis to be very fascinating.

I knew as soon as my Model 3 Performance downloaded the track mode that you would be doing a video on it :)

Car Control Clinic 101: oversteer vs understeer.. Love this video!

Excellent vid, thanks for sharing. Best intro to track mode I've seen, will try it now!

Another awesome video thanks for the track mode demo

think you need to turn traction control off first for peel out on 0-60 or does it do it automatically?

Hey Brooks Another channel did the 0 to 60 in front drive mode, and had the same result as you but the explanation Was that if you were going in a straight line it maintains four-wheel-drive but if you are turning a corner it will go to full front wheel drive bias. The same as you found that full rearwheel drive bias got to spin you out on a corner

Great content! Keep up the great work!

Color of the tires shows the level of grip, not the temperature :)

So the fastest setting for a standing drag race is launching in the sport mode or Track mode? I can engage launch control in either or.

The sound of nothing when doing those drifting stunts is my favorite part!! The fact that there is so much power and it’s silent is amazing!

Love the thump of the throttle its really on the floor 👍

Really great video!

Just got my 19' Model 3P wish I could afford new tires and play with drift mode. lol Its fun watching you do it neverthless.

Great video Brooks!. Now I know how to adjust my track mode in the m3p. Thanks!

The fact Tesla is not trying to make you buy a new Tesla but instead sell you an upgrade package to your current car is amazing. Any other car company would never do that. If you want to add 100 hp to your AMG Benz you either take it to some shop and void your warranty or just buy a new Benz with all the upgrades.

Bro that was littttt haha with the smoke

Have you tested having the accelerator 100% depressed and then selecting D? Is it possible? Does it accelerate faster than being in D with brake or hold and then pressing the accelerator?

It's more like a front/rear drive bias emulator, but still shifting power when it needs to so it's consistent. Like a cheat code or video game dev mode for a car

Some other youtubers have said the wheel colors show traction. For example, is the tire slipping? Would be good to get clarity on what the wheel colors indicate.

Electric burnouts make me uncomfy lol. Great video!

Does the M3P have launch control in the same way my MSP85D does ? aka pedal dance

10:53 that “trrrr” is the sound of disappointment, as Clarkson says

Very nice video! How did you actually measure the 0-60 times...via an app on your phone like car performance? What is the best app?

I'm quite sure the settings for track mode with the front or rear bias only work during turning and it resets back to full AWD for acceleration on straights.

I heard some people complain how you can't drift or have fun on the track in a Tesla.. then I see this. People who criticize Tesla don't realize that they are improving it by removing excuses to dislike them. I can't wait to see/hear what they are going to do beyond coconut mode (the sound of the car driving) I just can't wait.

having two motors implies that if you make it 100% rear or front bias the max power should be that of each individual motor alone, not the whole 450+hp moving front to rear and vice versa.

Do you have HW3? Footage supposed to be better with newer processor.

*In a straight line, it always engages all 4 wheels!*

Sick

I just ordered ghost upgrade for my LR DM so I can have some performance level fun

In rwd bias you should be able to feel torque steer if the front wheels are activated at all.

I need this car👏👏👏👏

Tesla already explaned that when the wheels are straight it will opt to give you all the power.

Next time when sliding it try turning the regen off, I think it was throwing the balance off when you were just trying to swing it by it pumping the brakes when it appeared you were just trying to let off a bit. Maybe it would be easier to “drift”. I don’t know cause I don’t have one, so tell me if I’m wrong.

Such a cool feature. Imagine how much BMW or mercedes would charge for the ability to move power around like that

The front and rear wheel bias doesn’t change anything until you turn the wheel. Those settings are only for changing what the car does in the corners.

So tires have "virtual temperature sensor". Aka software temperture sensor. Software can calculate tire temperature with ambient temp, speed, slip etc. Same for brakes.

Damn that looks like a ton of fun! Wow! Nothing like the 69 GTO Fastback with Hurst 4 speed I drove up Lincoln Blvd in SF doing 103mph... Just looks like so much fun to fuck around with and get it where its perfect for YOU, and that's awesome! Green with envy here...lucky I'm half Irish. LOL 🤠🥳💪

Dude, you sound so much like Hank from Breaking Bad.

There's no transfer case and drive shafts as you get in a normal AWD sports car. So when you put all the power to the back, you're cutting your horsepower as well since one of the two engines that provides the total ~500hp in the M3P is not engaged.

underrated channel! :)

Cool. Pretty soon we can just let the car do all of the hooning for us!

Why didn't he upload Taycan Vs Model S?

Brooks, Tesla has confirmed when you go in a straight line, the computer does not allow for full control per that slider of the split, it does it for you, optimizing as it deems fit for the traction it experiences.. But once you add steering angle ;) It will. Also the changing colors on the display for the tires is not about temp; they represent traction. Red = none, orange is slipping, yellow a bit less, etc.

"I don't really drive like that anyway", ha ha, I had to laugh. Thanks for the vid anyway though.

I’m surprised...Most systems do not completely turn off all intervention. Fun Fun !

Fantastic information. This certainly will help once I get my performance Y! By the way, Elon asked me to pass on to you, the fact you get your cars before everybody else, to please wear a Tesla hat and not a Lamborghini hat when you do Tesla vids.

would be cool to see collab with Clettus McFarland at the new Freedom Factory in FL

What are you wearing?

BB&T by The Sawgrass Mall?

From Tesla I just paid $320/tire not including tire recycling, labor to change the tires or alignment. Congrats! Seeing you do donuts hurts people of my bloodline. Used Tesla Service for tires because I live in a red state and do not trust any local tire shops alone with my EV.

I have a 2022 Model 3 Performance with aftermarket lighter wheels (custom Arachnid from TSportline that are staggered 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear) and very happy to know what my car can do. But, I am not really going to do any of these stunts any time soon, I am not about to destroy my tires in a few minutes. I might do some testing and have some fun when the tires are done and I am ready to replace them, then sure, why not. But for now, just enjoying the ride, hitting 0 to 60 MPH in 3 seconds and letting the computer keep me and my family safe. Believe me, this car is fun to drive and is faster than most cars out there. Only some exotic cars and muscle cars are actually faster than the Model 3 Performance when it comes to 0 to 60 acceleration. Even if you get to be next to some of then, you can pretty much stay next to them when they step on it, making you feel good that you only spent around$65K on a very technologically advanced car while they spent double or much more just to be a little bit faster. The only real car that can make you feel extra special is the Model S Plaid, if you can afford around $130K or more. If you think of it, is just double the price tag of a Model 3 Performance, and it gets you a 0 to 60 MPH in 2 seconds car. So, still a bargain and is basically the fastest production car in the world (well second if you count the Rimac Nevera which is a bit faster) until the new Roadster hits the market which, if correct, should do 0-60 in 1.9 seconds and with the SpaceX package (if it is true), 1.1 seconds (INSANE!). Cheers

I have the model 3 long range, if I buy the 2k upgrad that says makes the car 0.5 seconds faster, does it come with all these drifting options you have?

Hey dude this was really helpful because I knew I wanted s tesla as my next car and also a fast car and also I am married(no kids doe). SO A LOT of things to cross off.Anyways - Thank u so much for letting me know I can still go to stupid car meets with an EV and stunt. You rock. I will never buy a GAS vehicle ever again. fuck gas and lag lol

Geil. Awesome. I got the long range.+12k wasn't worth this craziness, unless I would still live in Germany ( autobahn and switch backs)

How the hell did you miss to make a test with 50:50 handling balance. This would have shown if there is a difference between sport and track mode.

Pretty funny - a drag guy trying to turn and losing it. With oversteer, ie rear wheel bias, try not to lift in the corner and countersteer.

It is full rwd but when in a straight line launching it will always be awd

It doesn’t matter if it’s in front or rear wheel drive, whenever you have the steering wheel straight it automatically switches to 50/50 to give you the best performance in a straight line. But the second you turn the wheel it switched back to your preset.

Brawo Tesla

Tesla is such a new car company imagine what they will be in 20 years .when they came out I never imagined that you could use Tesla and bmw in the same sentence

Look, green donuts!

Oh man... loves my P3D. Time to social distance in a parking lot.

EV drivetrains so much more capable, flexible and dynamic and ICEV cars could ever be, engineering/technological marvels

Notification Squad

The tire color is grip, not temperature.

Why not use modbus dongle to read out the internal variables. You'll see there how the rear or front bias works, if it's totally rear or front.

Do race preset to 60! I swear it’s quicker in mine

The front motor is induction, your power motor. The rear is permanent magnet, your efficiency motor. Makes sense that front only was quicker than rear only.

They need to make the built in vids like the one in the C7 vette.

Yeah but why would you want to disable all that stuff and put the power to the rear when it gets slower and harder to handle? 😅

I think it was Vehicle Virgins who was 1 of the 4 invited and he asked the engineers and said the rear/front bias only takes place when your steering is off center. In 0-60 that’s not the case.

Pretty much I would think you need all power to all wheels and motors to get fastest times. For rear bias and front you couldn't get all electric power to motors. A torque vectoring cas usually can go rear wheel etc somewhat because it's gas. But electric you still would need a e motor that can deal with more power or handling. Not sure only played with Tesla's a few times but electric is electric. Love the acceleration but it's a whole different world compared to gas engines and controlling power. So what's easier to predict Brooks gas or the electric nannies.

drift mode could work better for testing rear wheel 0-60 time

do a 30 60 remix

5:00 dude, traction control! But the FWD time seals it. Seems unlikely without help from the rear.

Bro. That just seems like I'd be dropping my car and laptop off to you.. lol. Fuck that. I like putting gas in my car. Switching which tune I want or what mode I want. Hit the gas and go.. lol. Stay safe man.

First time I’ve ever seen an electric car smoke tires! SOOOO weird not hearing an engine 😂

commercial for tesla👍👌

"Empty area" - did you mean "any street in New York"?
