@@mholmes9262 I guess this S could’ve been de-badged and carbon fiber spoiler removed (car looks satin wrapped). And maybe this Model S refresh was built prior to Plaids receiving red brake calipers, but still, Model S Plaid typically runs low 9s in the 1/4 mile. This S ran a 10.8, then barely achieved a high 9.8 sec run.
@@QuintanBrassfield Yeah I don't know for sure either but the fact that it actually ran a 9.8 at 148 on one run, that's Plaid territory. Looked like he let off to try to sneak over 10 sec so as not to be ejected from the track for driving a 9 sec car without a roll cage.
@@GodKing804 It's quite an absurd rule. It's ironic that the world's safest car, equipped with 12 airbags, a low center of gravity, advanced crumple zones, and a frame sturdy enough to support an airplane, is deemed incomplete without a roll cage. It's like wearing a life jacket in a submarine.
For everyone wondering, this is a model s plaid, however it braked before the finish line because you are not allowed to run under 10’s at some drag strips without a parachute or roll cage. But let me say this once again, this is 100% a model s plaid.
Plaid in 9.8 is normal I wander what the model 3 has to offer with a fully heated 90%+ SOC battery with some better tires and FAR lighter wheels. Those stock 20” are insanely heavy. I wander if you could sneak into the mid to high 10s. Then for less then half the HP that would be pretty impressive. I know mine when battery is warm is a massive difference in track mode and anything under 90% SOC gradually decreases top end acceleration.
People online have reported and shown on timeslips that 11.37 is the best time. That's at 95% charge, 18" lightweight wheels, and having a supercharger selected to precondition the battery.
@@rashad123us Acceleration to 100km/h in the new S LR is 3.2 seconds, which is much slower than the S P100D, however, both travel 1/4 mile in 10.8 seconds, the fact is that the S P100D is one of those old Teslas that blows away after about 110km/h
I thought that for a minutes until I saw the S running a 9.8 at almost 150 mph...he was braking early to try to avoid dipping into the 9's. They have a rule that cars that run in the 9's or better must have a roll cage or they are not allowed to run/ejected from the track.
both super quick! if thats a s plaid then damn that m3p is ridiculously fast. i wasnt expecting it to be so close.
Its not a plaid. The main indicator, its missing the rear spoiler and sport calipers
That’s a Model S Long Range, not Plaid.
I don't think so, the LR doesn't break into the 9's.

Wrong, that was a plaid.
Plaid for sure!
Quarter mile in the upper 10 seconds has got to be the long range plaid
That's a Plaid for sure. They hit the brakes well before the end. The 2nd run was a 9.8
You get kicked out for doing below 10 if you don't have a roll cage

It’s definitely a Plaid, they were stepping on the brakes already and LR would be above 11 I think

No noise is hilarious😂
God bless my 3 Performance.
Do they still kick you out for running 9’s ?
Probably, without the roll cage. Can’t otherwise explain the braking before the end.
No. NHRA amended regulations to accommodate EVs.

thanks for the educated information

I own a plaid and just sold my 3 preformance. That's not a plaid. They're is about a 2 second difference in the quarter mile
Thats not a plaid theres no badge on the back
They could’ve taken the badge and the spoiler off…if the S was a Long Race I imagine it would’ve been slightly faster than the M3P

The refreshed LR definitely has more power than the P100D. It's the 2nd fasted Model S they've made @@tttb132

Cardi b talking😂
Looks like regular S vs. 3P
It’s not, if you notice the brake lights, that’s the driver throttling it back to not get kicked out for the dumb 10+ second rule

Duhh its a plaid vs M3
It’s not a Plaid, it’s a Long Range, which still does 0-60 in about 3 secs.
Wouldn't be that close.
The only reason it’s that close is because of the stupid under 10 rule
I drive both cause I work for Tesla
Looks like Model Y not 3 😂
that's a 3 performance
Looks like u have no clue 😂
Clearly a Model 3.
