DRAG RACING a TUNED Electric Car at Santa Pod! Ingenext Boost 50 on Rustee the Tesla!

- We visit Santa Pod again to run Rustee the Modified Tesla Model 3 Long Range, this time with an Ingenext Boost 50 tuning box! Will it be quicker than the Tesla Boost acceleration???
At the start of 2021 I created Chargeheads to ELECTRIFY petrolheads essentially get more car enthusiasts into electric cars. An Electric Petrolhead if you like....A CHARGEHEAD!!!!
To start I decided to do an EV conversion and went on an amazing journey visiting many of the big companies in this field.
I selected the not so well known TVR Tasmin 350i, AKA the Wedge (#tvrwedgee ) to electrify after careful consideration of other cars. As I already had a TVR Griffith which I enjoyed driving and with my passion for raw, powerful, tail happy cars with no driver aids TVR was the obvious choice when selecting a car to electrify.
The 2nd build is the #SpecialTrikee project a 1970's BSA Aerial 3 Tricycle Scooter that me and my mate Vinny have turned into a e-Trike. I use this for local trips and it's a load of fun. Mrs Chargehead calls it my special scooter.....that originally had a 50cc two stroke motor and has a 250 watt motor in it, of course.
The Latest project is Rustee #RusteeTesla the Tesla build to make a Model 3 Long Range....well.....better! Better in looks, handling and performance while keeping her a monster mile daily and the efficiency intact. Focusing again on modifying with used parts to keep it green, where possible.
I hope to not only entertain with ChargeheadsUK Channel and the #TVRWedgee, #SpecialTrikee and #RusteeTesla builds, but also to inspire watchers to create their own greener transport.
With the help of leaders in their field like Ralph Hosier (Engineer, designer, builder of special vehicles, teacher, writer, TV presenter and trouble maker.
Ralph teaches Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Training (IMI Techsafe), builds some amazing one off projects and most of all is a top bloke!
He's the engineer behind #TVRWedgee the Electric TVR.
So let the fun begin......safely in a controlled environment using the right EV safety equipment! ;0)
Did I mention myself and Ralph have also done an EV Conversion safety video as well.
Welcome to the Modified EV revolution!

The beauty of Rusty is its still a full road legal and comfortable family car.
Also love the symbolism of the wind turbines that are helping to power the EVs 😊
@@Rabs73 they just need some chargers as Santa pod now, hooked to the turbines, not diesel generators 😉
@@chargeheadsuk 😮
So strange having the almost silent racing, good to see that EVs can have some fun at 'THE POD'
It was good to have the ICE noise there of course 😉
Hi Tim, looked like you had a great day at Santa pod 😀. Your Tesla is a rocket ship, dude.!😊
@@MarkJackson-e1k Space X edition 😉
Nice to see Rustee more than holding his own out there, I haven’t been to pod in a while but I’ll see if I can come along to the next one
@@GuyJD Rustee did me proud for sure. 👍
What a race🎉😅
Looks like fun! Suprising a few cars there including the Performance at one point 😯👀
As you could see I was very happy about that one...Michael not so much 😂
Next step, use Full Self Driving so you don't have to do anything :)
@@davidlloyd1526 i'm not sure the time will be as good lol
Had a great day out, thanks for organising it. 👍 looking forward to the next event
@@ryandavenport123 Me too, Track day?
Superb 👌🏼, you get every last hp from your Tesla well done 👏 I’m put off the performance atm as seen the latest performance model have crazy overheating problems seems iffy to me
@@alfie217 yes that Battery we have compared the US one isnt really for racing it seems
Nice one thanks for getting back, rusty is ace 👍🏼
Just for comp. I was getting an 11.6 with a Tesla model 3 72 plate with the battery in the 90%'s a couple of weeks ago, during the mini heatwave. Just running sport mode, track mode was being a bit slower for some reason.
@@SteelyEyedH i've been told 60 degrees is best for drag max i had was 40 so another session needed i think to beat my time. 💯
Fun video. 😊
nice to see. sure that Honda was quick as! bet its weighed in more $$$$$ to achieve that though. but certainly sounded good
@@NZherewecome 100% not road legal and drag ready. All of the boosted Honda's were from Holland
So d'you think Tesla upgrade is be releasing more power than the boost 50? Did it feel much different?
Fastest time last time with the Tesla boost was 11.9 so nothing in it. I'd say unless you want drift mode pay double and get the Tesla boost.🤷♂️
The lil Civic was hauling ass!😂
@@proximaone1350 there was 3 x drag civic's and a K20 Mr2 Mk2...all from Holland
Looks like andy was there with the grey classic mini. Absolute weapon of a car.
@@modscotsman yes that was really quick 💯
'Always great to have a bit of fun in a specially tuned EV, I bet you could teach the Tesla engineers a thing or two. Your ET 11.95 at 114 is pretty good, but what's the slower performance model run? I bet you could tune one up to a solid 11.7/117?
There is a long range ive seen do late 11.6's abroad. Maybe battery heating weight and tyre pressure changes 😉
Where did you get those white caps for the wheels?
@@snackpoon29 @evquip
Should have heated the battery more
@@aerialphotography8363 agreed, i know for next time.
Boost 50 supposed to give 50 hp for 1k. Ghost version 150hp for 2k. Times suggest Boost 50 same as ghost and half price of tesla acceleration boost software which cost 2k. Bargain!!!
@@adriancarey7848 i got Boost 50 in the sale 😉
Turn track mode off when drag racing
@@networkzsupport i wasnt in track mode, Michael was though and he soon turned it off.
@@chargeheadsuk Thats what I meant sorry :)
I'm not so sure the battery % makes a difference, I'm sure somebody on you tube did a video on it recently
I disagree, there is a noticeable difference.
@@chargeheadsuk what evidence do you have? I have two electric cars from different manufacturers and there no noticeable drop in performance regardless of battery level
