Not even just ‘underbraked’ but dangerously ‘underbraked’ especially when it’s marketed as a ‘performance’ car. Even still the RS3 coped with the track, just a noticeable amount of fade of which they learnt from, unlike Tesla. Someone’s bound to crash once the brakes go kaput

Thank you so much. I have the new MP3 in Australia and will be taking it to a small handling circuit next week. My previous car, stock i30N had brake fade here after 3 hard laps but was manageable by braking a bit earlier. I think Tesla should recall and upgrade these cars if they’re not built for purpose as advertised. The problem is they’re playing a numbers game here, most performance car owners (probably 99%) never track their cars. Did the owner of this car bed the brakes in at all? What level of regen was used on this lap?

this is insane so many people thinking they are smart and laughing at the tesla while it is literally the best sports car ever made period ther car is not supposed to be used like this it is made for the real world and it performs insanely well there, even the old one was faster than huracan or GT3 RS 0-60, now it even handles like a marvel. it is absolutly pointless what you fgolks are pointing out, because the reason is you have no clue whatsoever. on a track you need the brakes, which this car lacks because its not made for the track like the plaid with package. in the real world you never need the brakes. with amazing brakes the heating is gone. also ICE rdrivers need to learn to not push n ev full throttle all the time, the power is just too much, even hyundai said this, cooling is everything in an ev on a track because of the insane power, litereally nothing else matters.

[@momentum2564]

Tesla, the following realization occurs to me: The vehicles are built and tested in California. The developers themselves, who certainly drive these vehicles privately, drive them in this region, with the US mindset Performance means drag race (1/4 & 1/2 mile), speed means 85 mph (137 km/h) more is not allowed anyway. And no one needs a working automatic windshield wiper, it never rains in California anyway.

[@sinirq]

I agree

[@VoxelLoop]

Ahhh, the truth! They do a lot of work on keeping the car cool, but a lot of improvements to heating/de-icing actually came rather late. Very much a California car, but still a very nice car in many ways. You would think it'd have more performant cooling though given the climate it was designed in! I guess is 99% of owners are never going to take it to a track then the lack of track brakes makes sense, the stock brakes work fine for drag racing.

I’m Germany you can’t only drive fast on ur highway, in California I can drive fast anywhere 😆

Agree with some of the comments that the refreshed M3P is a monster at acclerating, but it needs a set of brakes that can handle multiple high speed brake applications for a 2+ ton car. Tesla needs this as an option for the M3P.

[@priusdrivetrainowner]

How has tesla not learned its lesson yet? The brakes were the main complaint of basically every single one of the brands performance models. They really need to give these cars better brakes, or at least better brake cooling.

Even though teslas regen method is excellent for daily driving, its not actually ideal. As nice as the one pedal driving is, its actually better to coast on the highways than to regen. Regen is more useful and efficient in low speed driving. Furthermore Teslas dont actually regen to a high degree. Something like the Ioniq 5 N regens significantly more with the N pedal or whatever.

Yes, +60 °C is full power limit (UK owner asked Tesla). Nice lap for a stock car and there is apparenly what what you get - heatpump is underpowered to could batrery down. I did not know, that in +50°C the power restriction kicks already in. The only way would be modding of the heat pump and/or intercooler on battery loop. The car is very quiet over 200 km/h speeds. Stock suspension bottoms out relatively easily on top speeds (from other videos), so be careful out there if not upgraded.

[@techevo]

Modding the cooling circuit only gives you marginal gains as the limits are hard coded into the software, where the charge/discharge power of the battery is measured and once a ' summed limit' is exceeded, power is de-rated.

Nobody can build and offer a car with this skills unter 90k, personally I don't think Hyundai either. It is an image carrier. Just have to look at Pikes Peak and see what the vehicle did there.

they're probably displaying pack power so you need to account for losses in the cables to the inverters, inverter losses, motor losses, and cooling system draw before you even get to motor electrical power, let alone mechanical motor power, and then you still have the whole mechanical side of the powertrain

[@MmmHmm-ig1yj]

I think the reason you are seeing the smoke early on is, that the Tesla brakes last a long time, they last a long time because they rarely are fully engaged. Perhaps if you turn off the braking electric regeneration and clean off or wear off the film on the brakes prior to taking it on the track.. you might see an improvement. So, clean off the film on the pads/rotors and properly bed the new pads/rotors! Also, I would recommend cross drilled and/or slotted rotors with improved pads and that might be enough, without the need for more pistons or larger rotors. Obviously, larger rotors would help, but what is the reason you would upgrade to more pistons... because of over heating? That is not cause for more pistons.. but better cooling and also traction/grip to the rotor.

[@bbokdoong]

Most EVs need expensive carbon ceramic brakes to be driven in the track extensively except Ioniq 5N. Ioniq 5N has 0.6g regen brakes that can share the load with the mechanical brakes.

[@momentum2564]

Additionally the Ioniq 5 N is the only EV that can even recuperate in ABS (0.2G)

[@fabianrudzewski9027]

That's not an exclusive EV problem, more like any modern high powered car. An above 2 tonnes RS6 or a BMW M5 wouldn't do too well without it's carbon ceramics. Steel brakes would at the very least be a huge unsprung weight penalty.

[@tubecycler]

It’s a great verdict. It’s really fast in public roads and has a great seating position + visibility. Breakers can be changed. You could either start with a lower SOC and take in more regen (save the brakes) but also risk overheating Battery. I Brakes are upgraded, turn off regen, start with full battery (higher SOC means higher voltage, thus lower Amps and lower heat loss). You also might wanna start with a colder battery (can it pre cool?) I’d be curious to see the differences.

[@qrs13]

Yes, it does pre-cool in the track mode

You just gonna ignore all the other issues those cars have? Tesla makes amazing cars. You can't ignore the fact that the new model 3 has amazing sets of coil overs. Just because there's one issue doesn't mean it's all bad. It's very common for Teslas to overheat the brakes when you push it. The brake pistons are great, they bite hard and make you stop, they just overheat easily. For daily driving that's perfect, decent brakes, but can bite when needed.

2:33 - Misha i believe the reason the tires are so good (other than them obviously being Pirellis) is those are the EV specific tires that were originally developed in conjunction with Lucid for the mighty 900v Air Sedan, because IIRC that's the vehicle on which those EV specific Pirellis made their debut with the car's debut back in 2021 with those ones now being specifically tweaked for the HM3P. for additional reference, Pirelli also just worked with Ford/Stard to make EV specific tires for their latest 1600HP F150 Lightning Electric Super Truck which recently ran Pikes Peak 2024 with Romain Dumas driving (again) taking this years Top Time Overall with an 8min 53sec.553... so indeed the current tire supplier to Formula 1 has SIMULTANEOUSLY been "super interested" in gathering data from high TQ/heavy weight EV's for some time, and directing it back into making a better EV specific tire for Production cars.

[@josefinkjellsson7051]

Don’t know why everyone insists on turning the regen off, the regen is one of the best part of driving a Tesla really fast and when you are familiar with the dosage and how it can help you, then you will also be at your fastest. The car is made to have full regen while driving hard, not without. Maximum discharge approximately 400kW is about 544hp which is very very good. I’m impressed and see a lot of potential in this new M3P. And before all internet troll try to correct me, pls I’ve been driving Tesla for years, I track/drag race my M3P and drive a MYP as a daily, just learn the car and you will be faster then your other cars, my M4 and my M140i has no chance against M3P on a canyon road.

I believe Brembo supplies both the calipers and the pads, so I'm not sure why Brembo wouldn't spec a better pad compound. Unless Tesla asked them to prioritize characteristics like brake noise and dust. Of course its possible there is also a big difference in cost, and Tesla wanted to hit a certain price point for this car.

Just made a test drive today! It’s an huge upgrade from predecessor! Honestly yes brakes still shit, but only if you drive like a race driver, full throttle brake just inside the corner and full throttle again. I made a nice funny drive in country roads with some corners just by using 90% regenerative braking. Its not like an M3/M2 but its fine! You can have a nice daily with some pepper! My verdict, if only brakes would be better it would be very very hard to compete with it price/performance. But if you have an extra 6k to put some great brakes problem solved!

The car is electronically limited to seemingly 240kph, and from how fast it was still accelerating beyond 200kph, it very well could pass 240kph w.o. limiter The car itself isn't stupid, it's just limited in some factors that could improve it.
