#Tesla #Plaid #Upgrades
I’ve conveniently left an upgrade list with links in the description for you guys. More videos to come on future upgrades on my channel here. Thanks for watching and really pleased with the progress of this car! It’s an insane beast ⚡️
Thanks for the list upgrade I know exactly what you mean about the breaks especially when trying to pull this 5000lb car down from triple digits multiple times in a hurry you find the breaks limits very fast
That will be my exact brakes setup gor using my plaid on the Nurburgring 🤠
Great choice dude!😎
Kyle thinks back to Jordan wrecking his car on a neighborhood street in track mode, “I don’t recommend using track mode on normal streets”.
When you get the round wheel upgrade, you should put the yoke up on the wall in your house with a horn cap with the Out of Spec logo embroidered into it. Now THAT would be cool.
That spec just looks so, so good. I'd love to see a photoshoot at some point!
He should have done a brake test before/after. Results would probably have yielded similar results because all modern modern cars can lock up their wheels. What he most likely improved is a less vague braking sensation and a potential to dump more heat into the rotors.
Exactly, if the car can already trigger ABS with the factory equipment, more brakes won't do much...that's all tire. These will improve sustained braking, though, which is nice.
@@knroo-j1487 The plaid can brakes very short but you really need to push hard on the brake pedal. Issue is that you loose time , and feels dangerous. I brake with my left foot and it's better. Another problem is "how many brakes can you do", and that's another story.
exactly. Check the Car and Driver tests for stock Plaid braking repeatedly from 100 mph. It brakes shorter than the light BMW M5 CS with carbon brakes. Plaid OEM are optimized, as they should be for street driving which means when cold under normal use and braking from high speeds like on the highway. BUT if you take ANY car to the track, and heat up the brakes more than you ever would on the street, of course you have to change the brake system to be better when hot. But the brakes will likely be worse on the street and when cold. So he didn’t really upgrade the brakes, he just changed them for track use. He is just stupid and wrong when he says “they stop like crap” - they don’t, check the Car and Driver brake tests.
Yep I love to see the max push of the Plaid and you are the best at pushing it and telling us what's going on. I'll never drive anything that way so glad to watch you do the thing. Cheers.
Tesla needs to add ALL wheel steering for the model S plaid! Would help significantly with handling👍🏼😃 and obviously steer by wire would be great!
Yes! This is great content Kyle. I can’t wait to see how bonkers you can throw this car around. It really is one of those cars that most people just do 0 to 60 with and there’s not enough content showing what else its capable of. Can’t wait to see some donuts and drifts. Hell yeah brother!
I appreciate these videos. Fun to see how good the Model S can get.
I hope that Tesla adopts some of these [safety-critical] upgrades. It seems like this is the way the Model S should have come from the factory.
Of course it does that was the point of the video.
So excited to see this beast with all the mods too come!
I hope Tesla watched this. Great review
The wheels are sick.
Hey Kyle , when Ryan will do on your plaid Stocks and round wheel come on ??
You mentioned thinking the yoke isn't unsafe. I'd be curious to see if you can try and simulate reacting to the car letting loose on rain, snow, or ice and how you'd perceive trying to control or recover the car in one of those "oh shit" situations compared to a wheel.
You are right on point my friend!
I think you are wrong about this being an older platform. I had some of the older model s cars and this is a brand new clean sheet design. I think only the seat rails carry over.
please let us know how can we make the seat lower like maybe 3 inches lower please !!!!
It’s about time we start seeing “Tuner” content for EV’s period. And being that Tesla was first to market it makes sense to start with them. I think that at its price per performance there would a be a good market for an AMG, Brabus or RUF style Tuning House for the Model S. They could offer bespoke interiors as well as performance upgrades…
Tesla offers upgraded brakes too.
I love listening to your engineering analysis of the suspension where are you clearly have a good intuitive feel of the mechanics and the driving. Don’t know that anyone else does it to the same extent but much appreciated.
You might be able to water this down for regular folks like myself who might fling their model Y into a roundabout every once in a while but that’s about it. Getting better tires in the wet mostly and for comfort and noise would be great. I seldom have ever touch my Bricks And rely on region most of the time so clearly I’m not pushing it too hard.
So can you outrun a C8 Z06 on the track?
Bro, it's simple. You upload, I watch. Even if it's multiple videos a day. Love your content!
$20k brake kit from Tesla also includes wheels, tires, and installation. The brakes and installation alone are $15k
Do the 295's not rub on the suspension?
MPP are real deal. not importing crap and selling it as an upgrade
Excellent! Thanks very much, Kyle.
Your personal channel is great!
I have a 2019/2020 MS Performance Raven. The stock shocks are woefully lacking in hi speed rebound. I would say they require approx.30% more hi speed rebound. There are no aftermarket adaptive shocks available. I'm wondering if I will encounter the same situation if I upgrade to d MS Plaid. Any comments on this issue will be highly appreciated.
You should take the R1T out to the track for some fun
Kyle please let us know how can we make the seat lower like maybe 3 inches lower please !!!! Also Please install round wheel and both stalks like model 3 has
“This isn’t meant to be a sports car….” Err ok. 1000bhp 2s 60!! 😉
You did a track mode and then an ESP update too didn’t you? Was much looser I seem to remember?
How’s the steering feel with the square setup? What size are the tyres?
Sounds like suspension upgrade next if it’s too soft!
This car must look insane completely blacked out, like windows everything. Is it allowed in the US? I think you can even black out the windscreen in Thailand.
This car would look like the Batmobile :D
My Plaid is tinted and wrapped in a satin matte black, Batmobile is appropriate for sure.
Now you just need Huber’s steering wheel setup ;)
295 square is just what we want to mount on our car. Whats your offset, you talked about you needed spaces in front on another video. 20x10,5" ET 40 is the wheel spec right?
It's not really a big brake kit if the brakes are exactly the same size as stock, now is it?
What's happening with the model 3 these days? 🤔
Thought about a MS Refresh until all the details of the Yoke were rvealed. My wife would never touch that thing.
Another interesting video! Could you share your both the camera mount: windshield and passenger window?
What is ur squared set up and tire size
What steering wheel will you get? I switched from the Yoke to the Hansshow napa leather wheel. I feel like I'm driving a real car again. The leather feels a million times better than the vinyl yoke. Being round makes me feel like I am in control of the car in high speed turns. The only problem I have with the Hansshow round wheel is that the buttons don't work right. The voice button doesn't work at all, and the turn signals have lost their haptic feedback.
Hey! Can you post the video of the brakes swap?
-3 camber front -2 rear added to your setup would be absolutely lethal. Literally no other cars could hang with it. Absolutely epic content!
Still waiting for that round steering wheel?
I thought carbon ceramic brakes needed to be hot just to function efficiently, making them better for the track than steel
I wonder. How much does the special race fuel cost for this car? 😜
Some special electrons needed?
What is the range drop when going for 295 front tires?
What is that weird shape on the display at 23:40?
Thats the g-force meter. It shows the maximum g-force exhibited on the car (only available in track mode)
HOw do these changes affect the range?
No one cares about range if you increase performance
Tesla: Do these mods from the factory
Elon wouldn't change pads compound because idiots owner will complain about noise. They don't understand
Check the stock brake performance of the OEM plaid brakes to educate yourself - they work great for street and highway use which is appropriate. If you take ANY car to the track you need to change the brake and tire system for hotter track use. MAybe you can understand that.
what happened to Jordan. Does he still do reviews for Out of Spec?
Awesome video Kyle. Quick question ... why you choose for XP8 compound instead others ? if upgrade only the pads you think i will fell difference ? TIA
These are awesome!
Just curious... don't upgrades void your Tesla warranty?
The could void issues related to the brakes, but a general void of all warranty based on limited scope mods is generally prohibited in the US.
So you replaced the Camry sized brakes?
And the cast wheels too
check the car and driver tests on the plaid OEM brakes to educate yourself
@@ytzmark you mean this review which clearly calls out the issues with the brakes as well as lackluster steering?
ua-cam.com/video/KTVv48F3roY/v-deo.html
also, check out Throttle House' review, similar impressions.
have a great day!
Did you choose to buy the model s plaid over the taycan??
Duh
Good video 3rd
I thought track mode was only available in 21 inch rims?
who was filming they just filmed your dashboard
"I would normally put this on my personal channel but I need to write off the $20K upgrades I made to the S and sooooooo, let's make a 'work' video out of it!" lol
Remember Tesla’s brake temperatures and warnings are just simulated. It has no idea you upgraded them so you will still get warnings when it thinks the stock brakes are on fire when your new ones are just fine.
Needs more tire in the rear, sway bar to help get the car to turn in more sharply and get it a little loose for your preference without compromising on straightline grip. Not sure I would have posted that lap publicly... pretty fugly bro
Not sure what comes standard but I would guess a 6-piston caliper would be essential to a brake upgrade.
Great video, I really hope TESLA add iconic sound, Or they already did???
It's sad Tesla doesn't do more for the Plaid. I don't want to buy and have to put another $30k in to make it interesting.
The touch buttons are dangerous.
Are these old recorded videos? I thought your Plaid got wrecked.
He got the car fixed
Did you even watch the video??!!
Are you back from Norway? 🤷
He says he is within the first minute of the video.
@@anthonyc1883 lol, missed that 😎
2nd
Where is Jordan??
Maybe he's busy enrolled in racing school! Or working a real job to pay off his debts xD
@@tazeat hahaha. I'm just hoping he's still with OoS studios. I think he thought of really out there, but nerdy, topics that made for interesting videos.
Stop lying brakes are not bad. This is not a racing car, but a family sedan, yes fast, but an ordinary street car.
Funny that youtubers always have to say that they paid for it... like we care?
Don’t like the rims
So tesla really cheaps out on brake fluid, brake conduits, wheels(cast instead of forged) brakes….. and says the car is cheap!!! Lol….. 😅
Most/all of these are pretty standard for the auto industry, and are totally fine for the street. It's not until you start tracking the car or really pushing it (where the track would be better), do these become issues. Most people would rather skip the 10s of thousands in additional costs/maintenance, for stuff they won't use.
@@knroo-j1487 nonsense!!!!! Stop the crap!!! What is the reason of buying a 1100hp car to drive like a grandpa!? There is a reason why people said OCE are unreliable because they are always pushed to the limits with all their hardware!
@@knroo-j1487 why does all EVs drivers drives like grandmas!? It’s a serious disaster tbh! Porsche makes both better steel brakes stock way better brake fluids and lines, all wheels steering, way better suspensions…… even for standard.
@@knroo-j1487 the tesla community for car is super boring to be fair! They litteraly do nothing but talk about money and shit! It’s actually non tesla owners that does projects with those cars.
@@alanmay7929 It's true; adding track-specific equipment drives up NVH and costs, when most people don't track their cars. Even in this video, Kyle explains that he didn't choose to go for carbon ceramics, for this very reason.
There is a wide gap between driving like a "grandpa" and dedicated track duty.
16:31 You're an old man, wanting a round steering wheel. Change is bad mkay 👎
God forbid people have personal preference!
So tesla should next make a square wheels right! Since you are sooo young and like change sooooo much!!!!!
@@Crazyblox if their personal preference is "be exactly the way it always was" then I have a huge problem with that, clearly old man syndrome, who oppose change.
@@alanmay7929 a business phone without a physical QWERTY keyboard? Will never happen.
@@Poxenium lol….. that’s what she said!!!
