7:35 is for the full track 20.8 km version.
7:31 is for the 20.6 km version
Since all manufacturers have started publishing 20.8 km version now,7:35 is the EV record.
It's unbelievable, magical I would say, the way the driver is able to drive a boat on asphalt with a toothpick as a steering wheel.
Lmao toothpick! 🤣
I agree that the car is lacking downforce but most GT3 cars have a steering wheel of that size to improve visibility and handling of the steering wheel
@@gamaltk far from truth, GT3 cars have actual handles so your thumb can't fly upwards, you can actually grab the steering. Comparing this to a GT3 car in any department even in steering wheel design it feels insulting.
Ever heard of F1?
@@Pierre4sho I'm sure you can't find the 5 differences either
Never seen a fast lap before where the car was more floating than driving. Impressive driving skills.
Well, the fast lap is due to acceleration
@@twrk139 The NIO EP9 is 50 seconds faster so no production EV car record
@@THEREALZENFORCE yes, that car is made for the track. Never said the tesla would be the fastest.
@@THEREALZENFORCE the Tesla plaid is the fastest production EV, Nio EP9 is not a production car. It had a run of only 16 units, none of which are road legal, so the plaid is the fastest production EV
@@thedumbconspirator4956 wikipedia : Nio EP 9 : it's a production car that is not road legal because China refused to give it road legality. And number of produced units is not a factor of being a production car or not. Bugatti La Voiture Noire (1 in the World) is a production car, Mercedes SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé (2 in the world are production cars), Porsche 991 GT1 (very few in the world are production cars), Pagani Zonda Cinque (5 in the World and they are production cars)
Nothing about that looked like an enjoyable experience for that driver, hats off to him. I could feel the tension, like “this things to heavy for this performance”. Gonna be honest it scared the shit out of me just watching, that guy must have been “professionally nervous”
It looks high but the battery is on the ground holding the most weight. it was probably pretty planted
@@Mystic.ape. Nah, it's not well planted because the suspension setup clearly isn't handling anything on track very well.
@@WynnofThule bro he’s hitting turns at 160-200 kph it’s planted for sure
@@michaelhuddy4424 watch the wheel, listen to the tires, and it tells a very different story. Also, a car can have a sketchy rear at any speed.
So I guess you would you drive a dodge charger hellcat around the ring either? asking for a friend xD
When the Plaid accelerates, it sounds EXACTLY like my washing machine going at 1600 rpm.

The acceleration is great. Otherwise that driving looks really, really restless. Hats off to the driver.
Those 760kWs with flimsy tires is a bad combination on a track. I wonder how well Tesla would perform with better chassis and better tires. Out of factory that Plaid is still a fast car.
Can you please explain me :-

a "fast car" ..... is this like people from yorkshire? 0-60 in under 2 seconds.... that'll do!
Chassis is not an issue, it's pretty stiff even without rollbars
Those stock all season radials aren't helping matters. A set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires would make a tremendous difference.
@@jimwheeler6094 cup 2 R will probably help it go 20 seconds faster, considering it shaves off 2-3 seconds for every minute compared to the ps4s.
If only we still had Sabine... "I tell you something, I do that lap time in an electric van."
Agreed. RIP Sabine.
Crazy how optimised this lap was, even ran it on low battery so that there's less electrons adding weight 💪
Haha quite :D
You my friend don't know how batteries work
@@hedialaya3230 you just may not know what humour is ;)
@@hedialaya3230 charged batteries weigh more than flat batteries. Thats why my remote weighs less when I put my batteries in my controller
Batteries on lower charge have a lower EMF (supplied voltage). Hence the car is most powerful at highest charge
Pretty impressive considering the weight of the car and the fact that it isn’t a race car. Lots of tire noise but on most cars, you hear the loud engines and gear changes whereas in the Tesla it is pretty quiet except for the tire sound.
It's certainly a high performance car, though. 1000+ hp necessitates that. It is what it is, no embellishment or excuses needed.
I thought it did not look very fast so i checked on the Nürburgring website and it seems the Tesla is the only electric car that even has a time listed. Not to hard to be the fastest then?
Anyways it is just slighly faster than the record time for non-electric SUVs and slower than alot of other non-electric cars including all the executive car records.
Does not seem very impressive. I expected alot more after all those videos that showed how fast the plaid is in a straight line.
@@ravis5225 , really! It’s not built for running on a track, it’s a pretty luxurious sedan. It weighs around 5000 lbs I believe. It’s a record for an electric only car I believe. Cars that will beat it around the Nordschleife most likely couldn’t come close to it in straight line acceleration. It’s not a cheap car to purchase but it’s loaded with technology.
@@ravis5225 You're insulting Porsche heavily with such a statement.
What about their Taycan? Does that make it an expensive but awful product? It's close to a quarter million dollars in price, yet performs 12 seconds worse.
If Porsche's expensive dedicated "sports" EV can't keep up with a large family sedan, then you must be extremely disappointed, much more so than with the Plaid that's now the champion of production EVs.

7 seconds faster than a 30k honda hatch back
I think Tesla might need to get with a tire manufacturer to develop a special set of tires just for EV performance driving. The amount of counter steering required, if cut down, could have saved a significant amount of time
umm, i thought EVs can not really "race" because the battery pack will overheat quickly after some laps in those production cars ?
@@danbarb9728 well this video clearly says otherwise. It was only a matter of time before this happened. There is also an entire off road series, if I'm not mistaken, with extreme electric desert trucks
its the airride with no stiffness thats at fault, not the tires
lookat the speed hes taking over the bumbs, very slow yet still very brave of the driver to go that fast on air
Man there are cars which can do under 7 minutes on those tires and you blame these that they don't have enough grip? LOL it's car's fault not the tires
These are stock wheels, if you want to, buy better ones...
Special thanks for correct exposure in the video! Nearly all other official in car videos have either blown out exposure or pitch dark exposure.
How great, with this 1100 HP Tesla with tuned setup and breaks, the laptime is on the level of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS (from 2008 😁) with not even half the power.
A base model recent 911 Carrera with less than half the power was faster than this american pile of junk 🤣
4:32 my palms started sweating. Craziest lap I’ve seen on the ring, RIP those tires. Amazing drive.
Pretty sure that's him hitting the inside of the corner which is banked differently. It upsets the car but if it's only a minor error the bank difference pushes the car back onto the banked concrete pads.
I think one of the reason as well that he survived was because he also has the advantage of a superior EV electric drive train with superior response in a turning and control. His driving skills are extremely important and are not a thing to laugh at, but he is handling a car with a really good computer that is trying its best to work with him. He owns it.
If you want to see a really cool car around the Nürburgring, look up the Porsche 919 Tribute. It's got gas and electric and holds the lap record over any car easily.
As they said for the movie Alien, in electric everybody can hear the tires scream...
So true! Better than hearing the dying screams of dinosaurs emanating from the tailpipe.
@@RWBHere Hmmmm, i prefer being faster in dinosaurs. 7:35 for 1000hp is embarassingly slow
This is both exhilarating and terrifying to watch. Thanks for posting it! I'd love to have the skill to drive a Plaid like this one day (I know I'll never get to THIS level, but even 50% of this would be a blast).
@PATAY yep no skills needed !! 🤣
@@rhett7716 nO sKiLls nEeDed.
Yep, you're surely blind.
@@75yomu Actually he's correct. No skills needed to go 50% as fast as this. The skill is needed for the last 5-10%, in this case more like 20%, but still. With limited resources a lack of track knowledge will slow you down some, but after a couple of laps it wouldn't be hard to get to 50%, and there's no skill required if you have lots of time and money to go around the track.
Wow! This car is almost as quick as a 400 HP Audi RS3!
It handles like a tanker, but at least it's not a milk float. The US manufacturers often seem to have difficulty with navigating around corners, but this one handles a good sight better, and at higher top speeds, than some of the US land boats we still see on roads around Europe.

You need a serious sportscar to beat this Tesla.
@@Apjooz true....like a base model 911. Or a Panamera Turbo.
Or a slightly modded Civic. You know, serious sportscars
This machine/driver combo's ability to magically CREATE traction is astonishing. That whine on the straights is right out of science fiction and it gave me chills. Hats off on the record! AMAZING video.
Having 2 independent rear motors, a separate front motor, and adaptive dampening allows for a lot of unrealistic looking things to happen!
Amazing engineering, and great driver.
@@floki1664 I mean I'd like to say the same but right now Tesla is light years ahead on the electric engineering front. Making good motors and batteries is not the same as making a good ICE engine. :)
On top of this Tesla has done some amazing work on its active dampening and traction control algorithms. Their cars are impressively stable considering their weight. Right now you can see this when you watch a Taycan launch and hear it squeal the tyres versus a Model S of similar weight launching with no squeal at all yet a faster launcher and the same tyres.
I don't disagree that other companies will get closer, I'm just saying it's a different game. If you can make a fast ICE car you might not be able to make a fast EV just yet. Horsepower is only part of the issue, getting it to the ground is a much bigger issue.
@@floki1664 Keep holding on 😏
Imagine that the front motor cage can accommodate the rear dual carbon sleeve motor and you are seeing and upgrade path to plaid+ if Tesla need it.
One Tesla engineer stated that the motor re rated to 1200hp and the bottle neck is the power delivery of the aging 18960 cells. This is why they have put only 3 motors.
Imagine that, juste like the Rimac.. 1700 hp stock from factory. In a four door sedan.
And Roadster is coming..
@@floki1664 And room for 5 adults.
It seems a traditional round steering wheel offers more confidence.
facts. i would always imagine slipping my hand off the steering wheel
Yeah thats what I’m thinking
not on track , every racecar is using a wheel like this
@@twlentwo yeah it is fun until you make a 3 way turn, unless the autopilot can do it for you.
@@twlentwo what about supercars and hypercars?
The Alfa Quadrifoglio with half HPs made it in 7.30... and didn't sound like a hairdryer!
When a civic only does 8 seconds slower lmao
More like 13 but same point
It looks like driving that car in this fashion is a workout with all of the rapid acceleration and de-accelerations that requires constant steering corrections. You can tell that the car is heavy but extremely capable which must be an odd experience as most heavy cars are very sluggish in both steering, acceleration and braking.
yup, but honestly driving the car like THIS is a pipe dream. 99% of people couldn't even keep up with that driver for 3 turns.
I am watching the Porsche Taycan Turbo S right now.... which is actually a real production car. The Model S Plaid in this video never went one sale with these modifications. So basically they cheated!
Plus its slower than the Taycan with less weight and more power lmao
@@valerystoichkov7429 lol
2 rounds and they need new tires and a to charge for 4 hours
1000hp and a 7:35 lol
This literally takes corners slower than my 2005 honda jazz. Pitiful
Did your honda break world record? Didnt think so.
@@jankokuu No because it's not electric, therefore it is not eligible for the electric record.
Those chicanes are getting hit way too many times. God Bless those tires! The Lexus LFA did this in 7:14 with a traditional engine back in mid 2000's.
Wow he was really fighting that beast every corner sheesh....
If anyone other than an experienced racing driver thinks they can get one of these round a track like this, dream on. It’s looks like he’s sitting on the back of a rodeo bull and close to wiping out at any second!
I can only grasp how much faster the EVs will be in the future, this is incredible.
As battery tech improves (batteries that weigh less and with more kWh capacity), I have no doubt records will continue to fall.
a 9 year old R35 skyline with half the power was quicker. weight will always be the limiting factor

You can't tell it's insane acceleration on the straights because of the super quiet cabin but you can tell how incredibly heavy it is around the corner by the screeching sound of the tires and the driver trying to steer really hard
The amount of body roll... OMG. This feels like the RUF CTR lap. Kudos that Tesla kept it stock for this.
That’s exactly what it reminded me of.
rofl guess you won't be taking an airride for a trackday anytime soon then :)
What could they have changed? They could build a sports car that is not just a drag queen. Considering that the Tesla has about 250 hp more power, it's not exactly a miracle time.
Only a couple seconds faster than golf gti clubsport s and other top hatchbacks🤣
And slower than a 500hp stock estate.
LMAO yet a BMW M3 CSL will do the same track in 7 minutes and 22 second.
Firts time in my life, watching an onboard on the Nordschleife and not thinking Id rather drive this my self ;)

If this is the "Model S Plaid" and not the "Model X Plaid" then why does it cap out at 268kph @6:55 which is about the topspeed of X model when the model S is supposed to have a topspeed of 322kph?
Because Tesla still can't put proper brakes and stuff in these cars, thats why the car is still limited in top speed.
Does anyone know what tyres is it using?
The fact that a M3 G80 with half the hp is faster than this at the ring, shows what an overpowered, half assed Shitbox this is.

Compare this with the Taycan Video and see how the Porsche is magnitudes better. It's only a couple seconds slower, but there is no tire screeching, no rattling, and the driver does not need to unleash all his magic to keep the car on the track. All kudos to Mr. Simonsen, excellent job with this one.
Teslas are fine everyday cars, no doubt, but they still have lots to learn.
And they need to understand that at the moment they're not fast track cars. They cut put lots of power into a car and expect if to be a good track car
dude, u just sound salty bringing in unnecessary comparison. tesla are known to be everyday cars and is not even trying to build up any track-focused ones while porshe is a long-time veteran yet its still faster.
Glad to see comment section isn't raided by Elon fanboys.
Because they aren't into trackracing.
Because the car was slow
Because they've never heard of tracks
That’s one fast forklift
The lap-time comes only from acceleration. In some corners the Tesla is 30-40km/h slower than comparable cars. Bad tires and/or suspension.
It’s mostly weight. Suspension too probably but these things are like 500kgs heavier, there’s not that much that can be done to fix that.
Lots of understeer... is this a test of the stock one?
Now that I have seen other track videos by those who have bought the retail version of the Model S Plaid it is crystal clear that the car in this video is not in standard retail trim, despite Tesla claiming that it was and the record being listed under "Electric production cars".
This car is show accelerating in turns at the limit of traction, accelerating while riding on track curbing, and braking heavily and repeatedly at speed. Stock Model S Plaid cars sold to date do not do those things.
Recently Tesla sent an OTA update to enable "Track Mode" which may address the corner acceleration shown in this video 4 months ago, but the record setting car seems to have had brakes that were mechanically improved over stock cars.
Be it only for the lowered top speed
@@chevogliomai Driver is on throttle during turns which was not possible until the recent track mode update. Nordschliefe requires a lot of heavy braking. We know the Plaid can't handle repeated use of the brakes from speed. There are multiple examples of these symptoms here on UA-cam. See Out of Spec Reviews and Throttle House among others.
Wouldn't be surprised, Tesla overpromises all the time...
Can't wait to see the Tesla Roadster with SpaceX package run the Nurburgring on FSD🤯

BROOO, that would be insane, to let the car drive around the track by itself. And yeah, even without the SpaceX package, it will beat the Nurburgring record.

@@slunasaurusrex yeah a car with a rocket booster on its butt is worth all the wait.
Every time he accelerate it sounds like he’s touching a magic crystal! :-)
How do I unmute engine audio?
I just noticed where Tesla will pick up a few more seconds when the software top speed limiter is removed. On that long stretch of straightaway just before the finish line the driver had plenty of room to floorboard the accelerator and reach the Plaid's present top speed of roughly 165 mph (268 kph). Without the software limiter the Plaid should easily hit 200 mph (322 kph) and knock a few seconds off it's lap time.
Batteries won't last till the end of the lap without speed limiter
the battery wont be a problem, they can take it.. you can see when he is going upp-hill that he is loosing speed. you might have 1000hp but you also way over 2 ton... its just a lack of power,
@@rickposthuma where is he loosing speed going up hill? Also do we know the consumption for one lap? Hard to say what will happen if they unlock 322kph top speed. Hopefully they come out with a track packaged Plaid R with better brakes, suspension and the active spoiler, maybe some weight saving as well could be fun.

@@ojkikim Why do you think Tesla would purposely limit the speed of their car on a record attempt? There's gotta be a reason, right?

Being a passenger would be genuinely terrifying.
We know that EV's are super fast, but is it only me, when I watch these records being set in an ICE car it sounds exciting the engine revs screaming, the bilp of throttle on down changes etc. With the EV's nothing but the tyres screaming in protest and the wind noise.
I appreciate EV's and I'd love to own a Tesla as a daily driver, but for track use I'll stick with my cars with good old fashioned engines powered by dead dinosaurs. Plus I race endurance races and that's where EV's struggle. How many times do you think this Tesla could lap the Nordschleife before running out of charge? then having to sit in the pits for the next hour charging the battery. Even Formula E races only last 45 minutes. So I guess the point I'm making is yes its fast, but limited in race terms, fast for the roads but in nearly all countries the speed limits stop you from having any real fun so I'm not sure what Tesla are trying to say with this record, it noting that we don't already know EV's are fast but limited in range.

He also can't grip the wheel properly cause of the ridiculous design
There's no physical linkage it's steer by wire. i dont get why they didn't update the soft wear for tighter ratio.
A fucking yoke on a daily car is absurd to begin with. I mean it's not for an f1 race. Unless their fsd is already mature and legal that a steering wheel is just an option.
@@Teslapromo103 I do think it looks cool but I bet its a pig to use
That stearing wheel scares the shit out of me when trying to push a car
*steering
every racecar has that. I guess its not that bad for pushing it after all🙄
@@twlentwo racecar steering racks are lower ratio and their wheels are way easier to hold than this thing
@@smoothguitarforever have you ever hold this thing ?
The fact that a 12 year old car (LFA which was not even the fastest car at that time) had better lap time then this shows that just because you have crazy acceleration, it doesn't make your car actually faster
Dude was sawing wood with the steering yoke the entire time, he definitely wrestled that thing. Good jobs sir!!
3:11 Insane acceleration on that thing: going from 100 km/h to 200 km/h in around 5-6 secs and that's not even going straight at the start and starting uphill!
That's about the same time as a gt2rs. It has 300hp less
@@peterzingler6221 one is a road legal racecar, one is a limousine...
@@RSProduxx teslas are not limousines there interior does not look good and they use cheap materials far from a limousine
@@bjornaustmarorsson2066 again, one is a racecar, and the other is a 4 door family limousine
@@blazesmooth5573 The rear seating position in the Model S is terrible due to the space required for the battery and the aerodynamic shape that the marginal energy content of the battery system dictates. It's not a "limousine" by any reasonable meaning of the word.
How much battery is left after a lap like this?
What kind of tires it have? If you run sport Cup 2 tires probably take 4 seconds of the time
Considering the weight it is a pretty good result. The balance, however, looks very bad resulting in hectic steering all over the places.
Looks pretty undrivable. No traction at all and gets thrown around like a boat
Handles like blancmange.
He was also dealing with the brakes, they literally weren't enough to stop the car without frying so he lifts and coasts to keep them cool
If you compare weight and performance with the taycan turbo s and the times they put, it is not that impressive tbh.
@@manulovesjesus agree, taycan turbo s is exactly the category of sporty excavators one would look to compare here
The graphics in this game are so good. The textures are great. The lighting is a little iffy though. Is RTX on?
nah i think the lighting is on max settings which is making it lag can we turn the settings down
Wonder what the average time would work out at over three non stop laps, compared to a base 911 or something. At what point does it stop being competitive and they have to drive more economically to complete 3 laps.
If you close your eyes and listen to the sound the car makes while turning, you will swear you can hear the souls of the tires groaning as they wrestle thousands of tons of lead through each corner. I think the Titanic was able to turn with less effort.
This tesla is a fukn rocket
Only about 3 seconds quicker than a Cayenne Turbo GT around the track, which is heavier, less powerful and it's an SUV.
@Aryan A but tesla superfans always compare with petrol car, and say tesla is the future of petrol and gas car. Seems not fair to.
@@ELGlueckert The cayenne is still slower and more expensive, and it smells of soot.
@@starshipdriver8536 top speed of the cayenne is 186 mph, which isn't exactly slow for an SUV. Faster than any Tesla that isn't the plaid.
Those poor tyres…
How come it maxed out at 270 kph? Does Tesla install a speed-limiter on their cars?
Thank you for posting this video very impressive driver .
