Those heavy batteries are placed under the car for traction. It is crazy how nasty they hook and go :-)

[@BrowncoatFairy]

part of it is the weight, yes, but mostly it's the software, and the fact that it uses electric motors instead of internal combustion. The power output of an internal combustion engine is dependent on adjusting how much fuel and air you inject into a small compartment which then explodes, and those things depend on mechanisms engaging and disengaging, actual physical valves opening and closing, etc, and you can only meaningfully control those mechanical components at about a tenth of a second increments. Physical mechs can only operate so fast. With electric motors, you are managing electrical current, which travels at practically the speed of light, and the speed at which its power can be switched off or on or adjusted to any value in between is only limited by how quickly your computer can send the instructions to do so. The Tesla software controls the throttle based on traction data at a sub-millisecond level. It can adjust the throttle literally a thousand times per second. That's why it hooks up perfectly every time.

quite cool, now more then ever becomes obvious how power rating for ICE is faulty. All engines state peek power that is achieved at usually quite narrow RPM. Obvious solution, proper gearbox with about 16+ ratios seems like a must.

[@lemongavine]

Right? They are only at peak power for maybe a third of the pass. The other two thirds are the engine trying to climb back up to the peak again. And manufacturers keep tuning their engines to advertise higher peak horsepower, but it’s at the expense of low end torque. They even do this on SUVs which need low end torque, not high end horsepower. Street cars/SUVs need torque, not horsepower.

[@ChurchAutoTest]

@@lemongavine Have you seen the power curves on a typical modern turbo engine? It's a nearly flat torque curve from 2000-4500 rpm and a flat power curve from about 4500-6000 rpm. And the torque curve is only flat because the manufacturer tunes it that way - unlocked they can make huge torque gains. These are not like Hondas of old. Modern turbo engines make a ton of torque from very low rpm, primarily because high boost DI engines don't really like to rev without some special loving (see Ferrari for example).

765 lt vs plaid

[@skip741x3]

plaid would win unless the 765 is modded, but it would be close stock vs stock, unlike these stangs

[@stevegarcia9098]

about 25 years back, a guy brought a porsche 935 road racer to the strip. car had 850hp twin turbo flat six and it weighed around 1900lb. massive rear tires, like 425mm wide. it ran 8.8 on the quarter!

[@GarretL757]

Amazing, my eyes may have been deceiving me but the Plaid was still pulling away at the 1/4 with the 1000hp GT

[@MrMegacurie]

Obviously not, they both had the same trap speed

[@montreauxs]

@@MrMegacurie Whatever.

[@stinger15au]

It was, but only slightly, maybe a couple mph. Pretty crazy

Also not to forget the Mustang is a much lighter car, wirh 1200hp and 1000+ at the wheels

If only Elon hadn't canceled the performance version of the Plaid, imagine the craziness of that version.

[@4literv6]

Probably didn't wanna Osbourne the gen2 roadster sales. As they likely knew the regular plaid would beat the taycan, Audi e tron gt rs, lucid air dream etc without even needing the plaid+. Imagine the plaid+with a 4680 structural pack and quad motors. 😁

[@colin-nekritz]

I'm bummed he cancelled it This said, physicists have been doing calculations re the safety of 0-60 on the human body and what an electric motors and there comes a limit in terms of what the body can endure but also tires that also are street legal and some other things. The roadster probably will be faster, but not that much faster simply due to physics and materials that would allow the car to be driven on the street not to mention what a human can endure are already on the edge of limits.

With all those mods on the gt500 it cost almost as much as the Plaid.

[@dsmluck]

I would imagine that the Plaid would put up with drag strip abuse better as well.

[@4literv6]

@@dsmluck it should, that guy over on the tesla plaid channel. Had a raven model s he put 1000+ 1/4&1/8th mile passes on successfully without breaking anything. No ice vehicle could dream of that kind of reliability. With a bev you just show up to the track and lay it down quiet assassin like. No smoky drama filled burnouts are necessary, no tire prep, pressure checks, tire swaps, race fuel, adding meth, line locks, 2 steps, launch control modes, test passes, last minute tuning logs, worrying about frying your transmission, smoking a clutch etc. All are very common issues to ice drag racing. Not so with a bev though. 😎
