There’s no denying that the Model S Plaid is a fast car, but holy hell. Those tires sound tortured, and you can hear the body twisting through the corners!
How did they complete this lap without overheating the brakes? I wonder if he took it easy on the brakes and still got an amazing lap time? Maybe it would be even faster with better brakes? And what an amazing driving job with the lack of a full steering wheel
most proper race cars (f1-4, le mans, etc) have square-like steering wheels. the only difference is they only need to turn 360-270 degrees to fully lock, the tesla needs a full 720
Now THIS is the proper venue for yoke steering -unlike on everyday streets. A racecar driver has his hands constantly gripping the handholds, and never has to turn either of them more than 90° to get through those racetrack curves. Superb handling by the driver! High five to him!
@@brucepugh1536 Bruh, how do you feel any play from a video, this guy is driving on the limit, constantly feeling the edge of course he jitters a bit watch any other hardcore track footage.

@@Eden-NoEye I was criticizing the car, not the driver. I think it would be much easier if there was less slop in the steering. I usually do not watch high-speed track footage so I am no expert. Just making an observation.
Incredible. This has made me want to revisit the 'ring and drive it again. And to anyone who's not driven it, it's a must - It's a lot of fun (even if a little scary).
the way that the center of gravity is so low, makes the car soooo much easier to handle around the corner. looks like it doesn't need any kind of anti roll bar or something. so stable
Must say, it is refreshing to see the speedometer in km/h for once! Awesome driving, awesome to see they used the yoke, awesome time for a family sedan! Plaid is probably the best car on the planet rn.
@@fredbloggs5902 It probably can adjust automatically according to location? I don’t think anyone knows yet unless someone has tested going from US to Canada to see if it changes automatically? I haven’t seen anything posted online to that effect. Otherwise there is indeed a menu option to switch between the two.
@@Ben-ph3gb i think no one in the comments have stated this point. they just assume theres no noise from an ice car at all wich is delusional, they have more moving parts and are sustancially more mechanical. who doesnt love the alien sound of the electrons moving teh vehicle
Reminds me of Danica Patrick the way his hands are constantly jerking the wheel left to right even on turns. Very rarely was there a constant arc chosen for a turn and often the grip was jerking yoke left to right unnecessarily on straightaways. I certainly couldn’t do better, but I would think someone out there could. Each twitch of the yoke and reversing corrections adds extra inches and feet to your travel distance.
You got it, this video was of a $129,900 family car, straight from factory. I can't wait to see the same car run modified as Elon posted about with tire/wheel/aero and other changes. On the way home from school, Dad or Mom could offer to take the kids to the amusement park... but instead, find a safe place and take them on a ride they will never forget! If I get negative feedback about that, I'm okay, I pushed the limits but if I were a kid..... ( oh, I still am ).
Pretty amazing considering the fact that it's using relatively normal sport 4S tires and no spoiler at the back. Add semislicks and a spoiler and you'll have some fun numbers
Yeah it's not a record, and not even a record for electric vehicles. Volkswagen was a minute faster, but they had a car designed for time records, with all those perks you mentioned.

Feels so slow to watch because of the lack of engine noise, but the guy is absolutely sending it at 120-130km/h+ around corners and 180km/h+ through S bends in a heavy street car 😮
Incredible driving and the nerve to push it that hard with so many sketchy moments!
Very consistent and lovely driver. He knows his racing lines and has practiced a ton in the car it is easy to see. Always enjoyable to see a good driver keep it on the limit. Great drive!
Actually, I saw a lot of little things he could have done to shave off, say, an extra second. His lines were good, but not amazing
Not that I could do better, mind you, but he could've
@@Brisingr750 Perfectionist, haha.
@@john3260 yes indeed
@@Brisingr750 spoken like someone that has never seen a track, let alone been on the ring
The acceleration is just blowing my mind, It's one thing to see it in numbers but another to see it in action.
I went around the track in the GT2 MR from Apex and that already was unreal. I can barely imagine the experience in the plaid.
@@caspa7 here the record lap ua-cam.com/video/PQmSUHhP3ug/v-deo.html
Nuerburgring in.my blood,....born and raised ♥️ 💜 💙
the acceleration it amazing 😻
I would love to see the wheels and brake shoes after the race ended.
It doesn't have brake shoes. :)
Tesla "takes energy" from speed to battary for braking
@@MrFunny01 Yeah only for about 60kw, after that, real brakes takeover
@@MateuszRulski Yeah I don’t think it has drum brakes 😂
Melted
4:28 the acceleration from 80 kph to 180 kph fighting for grip is just mind blowing!
mph would mean 428kph at 7:10. nono
@@BTCxyz369 KPH.. not MPH.
Insane acceleration, slow and sluggish around corners. What else did we expect from an American company?
@@mikemoggerson6651Actually, I found it very fast on some of the corners for its weight and family car type.
@@miks564 I thought it was the hypercar killer? You know, Tesla claimed it was the fastest car in the world. Didn’t look very fast to me, even at the end it topped out at 260 Km/h. Must’ve been making about 500 HP by then hahaha
RIP tires, the true about this is that the driver is insane! He takes perfectly the curves
There’s no denying that the Model S Plaid is a fast car, but holy hell. Those tires sound tortured, and you can hear the body twisting through the corners!
The car is amazing. I'm equally impressed by how people can adapt to such high speeds and control any car and make turns in split seconds and adjust
Ya pretty cool . Hope one day I can get one
yeah that’s what the sport is about
You tend to get good at things if you do it long enough. They’re professionals for a reason (:
Its not about the high speed its about the availability of torque which is instant might i say not even F1 driver can handle that kind of acceleration
if u are impressed by this, u would be mind blown by f1 drivers
Driver: My experience was amazing, It felt like I'm inside a video game but only with one life on the line.
the quality of the plastics are insaneee
How did they complete this lap without overheating the brakes? I wonder if he took it easy on the brakes and still got an amazing lap time? Maybe it would be even faster with better brakes? And what an amazing driving job with the lack of a full steering wheel
regenerative break by the motor
They had proper brakes installed.
most proper race cars (f1-4, le mans, etc) have square-like steering wheels. the only difference is they only need to turn 360-270 degrees to fully lock, the tesla needs a full 720
Now THIS is the proper venue for yoke steering -unlike on everyday streets. A racecar driver has his hands constantly gripping the handholds, and never has to turn either of them more than 90° to get through those racetrack curves. Superb handling by the driver! High five to him!
Seems like there is excessive "play" in the yoke steering. Would be easier to take corners with less play.
@@brucepugh1536 Bruh, how do you feel any play from a video, this guy is driving on the limit, constantly feeling the edge of course he jitters a bit watch any other hardcore track footage. If the driver was less experienced or all driver aids were totally off there'd be a huge problem recovering this ur right.
@@Eden-NoEye I was criticizing the car, not the driver. I think it would be much easier if there was less slop in the steering. I usually do not watch high-speed track footage so I am no expert. Just making an observation.
That steering is actually garbage compared to other vehicles, the driver was constantly adjusting what a joke!
@@carholic-sz3qv yea it feels a bit weird how he’s always jiggling significantly while turning in
I would love to see what those tires looked like after this lap!!
What tires?! LOL!!
Had to play this at half speed just so my eyes could keep up 😄
Its so effortless, I would scream all the way through and pissed my pants
Incredible. This has made me want to revisit the 'ring and drive it again.
And to anyone who's not driven it, it's a must - It's a lot of fun (even if a little scary).
Yeah that’s awesome i really hope that the roadster will come out soon it would be so cooool! Imagine driving it on the ring!
What did you do it in
I did it in the BMW M5 Ring Taxi, it's definitely worth the price of admission.
I really wanna make my way over there to go around it
I recommend renting a Ring Taxi, professional driver that pushes beyond what I would do. It was incredible.
*Respect for that driver♥️🔥*
First time I have ever laughed out loud at a Nurburgring drive!
BRAVO 🏆🇬🇧❤️
For reference, the Mercedes - AMG GT Black Series has a lap time of 6:43.62
For reference That car costs more then 4x as much
Both are out of my price range for sure!!
@@rubenrodenburg4478
Everyone: Praising the tesla
Me: Let's take a momentum to appreciate how nicely he handles the car😀👍
True. I can imagine it is a handful around corners with how heavy the car is
steering go *steering wheel snaps*
oop
He doesnt have to handle the car alot the grip off teslas are good and they cant flip over
@@lilmess8638 but still at high speeds taking turns is very dangerous and it requires S K I L L
@@lilmess8638 what they mean is control of the car, not the chance of it flipping over
Nobody:
These tires: “ERRRRRRYYYYYEEEERRREWWWERRRRRUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”
Later at the parking lot: PFFFFFFFFFFffff .. fff .f
😂😂😂😂
I'm impressed the tires made it all the way around.
the way that the center of gravity is so low, makes the car soooo much easier to handle around the corner. looks like it doesn't need any kind of anti roll bar or something. so stable
This thing drove horrible in the corners and wasn´t very stable at all. It had problems carrying the weight in and around the corner.
@@GrillerRohde wait what? But i thought what i saw...
Must say, it is refreshing to see the speedometer in km/h for once!
Awesome driving, awesome to see they used the yoke, awesome time for a family sedan! Plaid is probably the best car on the planet rn.
I expect the car knows what country it’s in and adjusts the displays accordingly?
Or maybe it’s a menu selected configuration along with language?
@@fredbloggs5902 It probably can adjust automatically according to location? I don’t think anyone knows yet unless someone has tested going from US to Canada to see if it changes automatically? I haven’t seen anything posted online to that effect.
Otherwise there is indeed a menu option to switch between the two.
@@TJTVI Or if you go from mainland Europe to the UK. In the model 3 you can change it yourself I believe.
I didn’t see that line on the road that tells you when to brake, lol. Awesome job though! Hats off to the driver.
He disabled it for the Platinum trophy.
I think it's in his helmet HUD ☝🏾
@@Sthemmmcan’t tell if you’re joking but that doesn’t exist
1. Amazing pro driver
2. Plaid is really fast
3. Teslas corner horribly
4. An average driver would died 100% trying to do this

That’s why I love this model look at that speed and acceleration!
And timeless design!
Short term speed and acceleration are useless if you can’t achieve a high average speed over a long distance.
@@avigator why's that?
@@bryanjk Because travel time is defined by average speed.
That's a really chill 270 kmh!
He really pushed the limits. He could have pushed it a little more. What a driver and what a car...
No need too push it, the car isn't built for tracks, hence why it was so slow.
Yeah the Tesla isn´t a track car and reaches the limits way to early.
@@GrillerRohde m5 is not a track car either and performs outstanding on a track.

Very french - "Ouiiiii"
For such a big heavy car this is impressive. Would love to see the state of the tyres after a lap like this ‐ it sounds like a torture test for them!
flat like f1 tire
This one is not all that heavy actually. Couple hundred kilos lighter than Taycan.
As mentioned, lighter than Taycan, but the torque!
You would probably hear the same tire noises from normal sports cars if they didnt have the huge v8 noises
@@Ben-ph3gb i think no one in the comments have stated this point. they just assume theres no noise from an ice car at all wich is delusional, they have more moving parts and are sustancially more mechanical. who doesnt love the alien sound of the electrons moving teh vehicle
Reminds me of Danica Patrick the way his hands are constantly jerking the wheel left to right even on turns. Very rarely was there a constant arc chosen for a turn and often the grip was jerking yoke left to right unnecessarily on straightaways. I certainly couldn’t do better, but I would think someone out there could. Each twitch of the yoke and reversing corrections adds extra inches and feet to your travel distance.
I just love the fact that the key card did not budge from its place
Wild, I'm not even in the car and I was getting nervous around some of those high speed corners!

@@johnluelf5343 It's slower than an M4 competition and a Panamera turbo around the nurburgring
You got it, this video was of a $129,900 family car, straight from factory. I can't wait to see the same car run modified as Elon posted about with tire/wheel/aero and other changes. On the way home from school, Dad or Mom could offer to take the kids to the amusement park... but instead, find a safe place and take them on a ride they will never forget! If I get negative feedback about that, I'm okay, I pushed the limits but if I were a kid..... ( oh, I still am ).
@@user-vp1sc7tt4m I mean a panamera costs about the same and is faster around the ring, while also having 4 seats and a decent trunk
The driver impressed me more then the car
Fascinating silent speedster.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Pretty amazing considering the fact that it's using relatively normal sport 4S tires and no spoiler at the back. Add semislicks and a spoiler and you'll have some fun numbers
Also add carbon brakes, which it also didn't have, and hopefully tesla can unlock the speed limiter too as it could have gone faster in the straight.
740 ish is already a quite good number
Yeah it's not a record, and not even a record for electric vehicles. Volkswagen was a minute faster, but they had a car designed for time records, with all those perks you mentioned.
@@KsNoz That's exactly what I said. Volkswagen did not use a production car. No need to be hostile.
@@maxinator80ify Volkswagon ID.R wasn't a car at all. It has 1 seat, 0 door, there is a scare opening in the roof to get in. Not street legal. It is closer to an F1 car
The acceleration melted me every single time, damn!
The concentration you need to have driving like that - I am exhausted just watching this
love how because you cant hear a traditional engine noise the tyre noise is really accentuated. What a car. 🤯
"How many times did you almost die?
- Yes."
it looks and sounds totally unstable and dangerous in a way that a more grip and suspension oriented car wouldn't

Slower. Way slower
Let's face the facts. This thing can only actually go 163 mph, meaning its only quicker in quater mile, and it would get obliterated in anything else.
