Great video my friend! I just leased a M3P few months ago and really do love everything about it. I am coming out of a highly modified 2019 Challenger Scat Pack and do not think i will ever go back to ICE. The instant torque i would take over anything along with the smoothness of this car for the price is unbeatable. I don't think it will see any drag strips since none are around my area, but for local streets and highways, this does far more then expected.

[@RichOnTrack]

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy the car!! It's definitely tough going back to ICE. It would take a really special car for me to want to go back and even then it would definitely be a weekend or track car for me.

Are you preheating the battery? You could probably get down to 7.2

[@RichOnTrack]

Hi I didn’t because I didn’t know how to at the time. I am doing the route to supercharger to get the battery up to temp. I wish Tesla would add the drag race mode to model 3 performance at the very least so we can always be in optimal conditions to race

[@ridetheyoshi]

@@RichOnTrack Ah yes. There's a lot of research that shows the KW output from an OBD2 connector apparently. Basically 475 WHP is a cold/warm battery @ 90% SOC (state of charge) However you can achieve up to around 600-610WHP with a 135F Battery @ 90% SOC as well apparently. I'm not 100% on this as I haven't had time to try it but they're using devices to record and track the exact KW discharge/output from the battery. A pre heated battery @ 70% will be faster than a cold/warm battery @ 90%. So it's very important to warm/preheat the battery for racing.

[@SuperJj2468]

Agree plaids run consistently 6.0 to 6.1 at 120 mph in the 1/8 mile At irwindale. In the 1.4’s 60 foot . The basic supercharged stock muscle cars like hellcats zl1 Camaros 700 Hp range on a drag radial will run high 6’s in 1/8 th . To beat a plaid you need atleast 1000 hp and 60 foot at least 1.4. That’s a rough estimate obviously depends on weight of your car . To give you an idea a new mustang 5.0 with just a supercharger/ fuel system 18 to 20 psi range was runing 5.8/5.9 at 123 last time I was there full weight street car drive anywhere . 1000 rwhp range

[@jonatkinson1971]

Really? A BMW G80 X Drive M3 gaps the Model 3 performance over 1/4 mile and is way faster around a track. It will also do it all day long without running out of juice. 1/8th mile means nothing. Thats just the electric motor doing its thing. Once the Tesla gets to about 110mph the acceleration drops off rapidly and the others just breeze past. Sure the Model S Plaid addresses that with much more power, but even that with the track pack fitted is 10 seconds slower around the Nurburgring than a BMW M4 CSL with half the power. You cannot beat the laws of physics😉

[@skm8973]

Tesla has no soul. Combustion for life.

[@dannyterrio]

​@jonatkinson1971 The G80 Xdrive also costs at least $30k MORE. There is no quicker car for the money than a Model 3 Performance. No one cares about the Nurburgring anyways. Have you ever even been on it?l😅

@@jonatkinson1971 When are you ever going 110+ except on a drag strip that most people don’t have access to? This argument is irrelevant in daily life.

Great to see drag racing in a Tesla thats not a Plaid MS! Who would have though Id be saying that as an owner of a 2014 MS RWD P85 135,000 miles and still doing 0-60 in 4.0 and still fun!. And thats the point here Tesla has shown with the Plaid you can rock up and take out drag cars, to see what the M3 can do is so interesting and of course the 1/8th mile plays into the hands of EVs. On the street a M3 performance will just pull ahead of my "classic" 2012 design MS but thats not bad for a near 10 year old car that has been hammered all its life. Yep had a Plaid on order but cancelled as here in UK they wont do RHD and £100k+ for LHD not happening......still got a Roadster on order......live in hope!

[@RichOnTrack]

Thank you for watching. The Model S inspired me to make the switch when I first saw a model S owner chilling on the freeway with a newspaper and the autopilot driving for him. It’s cool to see how far Tesla has come in the relatively short time they have been making vehicles. I’m excited to see what the next 5 years holds for the company. You’ll get the roadster, it’s just gonna be a few more years hah

[@donnuyen9858]

Nice vid but as an owner of a few lambos as well as a Model S performance.....it takes much greater skill to launch a lambo to perfection then it does to mash on the gas of the Tesla.

[@RichOnTrack]

True! I would much rather have a few lambos over a few Plaid Model S

[@Clyde-2055]

You must have owned the poor-man’s RWD Lambo …

[@ledzeppelin1212]

A quarter mile race would definitely not favor the Tesla. They do much better in the 1/8th mile races. Anyway, great video, Rich! Wouldn't want to race you with my 2023 M3 SR 😄

I bought my 2022 Model 3 Performance for 30k with 18k miles . A 30k car easily beat these very expensive cars.

[@jasondong9721]

Why compare?

[@dathyr1]

Thanks for the video, but I don't know why everyone is so obsessed in speed with the Tesla vehicles. Yes they do have good acceleration, but I bought my 2023 model Y LR for doing normal daily driving and to save some money from the gas pumps. Not Drag race and wear out my tires. Oh well, have fun trying to beat all the gas guzzlers. You are not going to beat everyone. Take care.

[@RichOnTrack]

Thanks ! I also bought it for gas savings and autopilot. But racing it is pretty fun too!

[@Clyde-2055]

The superior acceleration is the only reason I want an EV (Tesla - I’m not interested in other brands). Different strokes !!

[@nicholasgarcia7830]

lol what’s really funny is that it’s not even on track mode

[@registrationaccount1034]

A big ol heavy tuned only F10 550 BMW would smoke that Tesla.

I sure hope so hahaha

[@BryanMartinhan]

You should reduce the weight of tesla by removing the back seats and side seat, frunk, and any trim possible.

[@RichOnTrack]

I would if this was my track only car haha. Maybe some day I could have a track only Tesla, either model 3 performance or plaid S

[@srhatfield]

Those short 8th mile tracks are not my jam… The race is over before it began!

[@RichOnTrack]

I like the 1/4 also but there isn’t one that opens regularly like my nearby 1/8

[@defaultgraycat]

I dunno why people try to dig race a rwd against an awd without some insane tire setup and expect to stand a chance. Sometimes you see a rwd car on street tires line up against a awd car and the dig race was over before it began lol

[@DanielE-oq1dt]

While the RS3 may be faster, I doubt it has an intact warranty and if he blows that $30K DAZA motor or $15K haldex rear differential he’ll be out of luck.

[@edwint1780]

this wasn't a full 1/4 mile, just a 1/8. The 1/8th mile track will favor the evs, the results would be different in the full 1/4th mile race.

I had a model Y dual motor in Germany. My SOC went from92 percent down to 28 percent in only 91 miles. At 28 percent/91 miles, I was looking for a charging station. Using a super charger you could charge an hour and drive an hour. Cost was 55-60 dollars to charge the car. Advertised range for this car was 243 miles. Cost is 73,000 euros. A 73,000 commuter car. Rich mans toy.

[@RichOnTrack]

Wow that’s a big drop off were you in extreme cold or driving extremely fast?

[@grabir01]

@@RichOnTrack Was on the autobahn not in the fast lane so going the same speed as everyone else. Around 80-85 mph. 2 times I did jump into the left lane and was doing 135mph for a min or so to test and my wife said that is good so back down to 80-85 in the next lane over once again. So. 99 percent of the drive was doing 80-85. This was last april so it was not hot nor cold. Also, the car would lose 1-2 percent SOC just being parked overnight. If it were not for my wife and time constraints, I would have done a fast lane SOC test. Wonder what kind of mileage the Model Y would get at over 100mph using only the left lane. I find it interesting that in all the EV testing no matter the manufacturer they do not post any mileage testing real world as I have done. This is very suspect. BTY. I am an Electronics Engineer and love electrics. My old Boss from Martin was also a EE and raced EVs back in the 1990's as we both love them. What I hate is all the blatant lies about EV's and the government push for them. Interesting that the very day I arrived in Germany was the last day for the last Nuke Powered Gen station was shut down. There are no more online Nuke Power Generators of Electricity in Germany. All coal and natural gas powered now. They do have Wind and Solar. Anyone that has lived there like me for years knows how little of the Sun you get. Winds can be big sometimes. And so, Germany does not have enough electric power now and has to import it from France which is Nuclear power. So.. It appears Germany is virtue signaling? What? BTY. I am no fan of Nuke Power Generation. U235 anyway. Japan is in an earthquake prone area, and Russia still does not know how to manage it.

[@EwanM11]

Interesting data. EVs don't have anywhere near the range ot petrol cars and you will suffer a lot if you drive fast. Forget cruising at 85 mph. That said i live in the UK where most motorway traffic is 75 mph or below. Petrol and diesel fuel economy is bad at 85 moh as well and most people don't want to pay that. Also public chargers cost a lot in April, we've still got an energy crisis going on but it is improving. I charge at home and it cost me £10 for 130 miles. The home ownership experience is very very different to hiring.

[@gbw28]

Unfortunately the Model Y’s aerodynamics are not great at continuous high speed.

[@LucrativeFuture]

@@grabir01it sounds like there was a problem with that car. I’ve left mine at the airport for 10 days and lost 1%. Make sure sentry mode is turned off. I also drive 70 mph and consistently get less than 260 Wh/mi which would be around 280 miles of range. Of course that is slower than you were traveling but you shouldn’t get 70% less range just by increasing speed by 10 mph. Of course you have to stop more in an EV but you should never charge for an hour. 30 minutes tops. We have dogs and a baby so the car ends up waiting on us every time!

Lambo is geared for top end, I had rather lose some acceleration and have a supercar top speed 200mph.

[@RichOnTrack]

Agreed and I’d rather have a lambo over my Tesla any day as well

[@Clyde-2055]

Then get a Plaid if you want to go 200 … For the price of your Lambo, you can buy a Plaid for yourself, a Model 3 for your wife, and still have enough left over to get your smoking-hot girlfriend a Model S.
