In german driving school you learn to pay attention constantly while driving. And your instructor wIll not let you Take your practical driving exam until you and him are both sure you are ready. Then you undergo a very intensive driving session in wich you must demonstrate flawless driving skills to an independent examiner that tells you wich way to go. These examiners pick difficult routes with a lot it potential for mistakes and if you dont complete the session without any mistakes they will not let you pass.

[@BVZTIII]

Lucid Sapphire fastest on the quarter mile, followed by the Taycan Turbo GT and Model S Plaid doing basically identical I guess. Track performance and driveability is on the Taycan, hands down.

36:25 - This is the exact stretch of the A8 (Autobahn 8) which I drove on a few days ago when I was on my way back from Munich. It's a great stretch because u can quite easily sit at 250km/h. (I'm driving a Golf GTI which quite happily sits at 250kmh without complaining:)) This is near where I live so I'm lucky to be able to drive on that stretch every day. - Great Video, thank you.

Hi Kyle! Even if it is allowed and even if you drive a extremely stable vehicle, going at this speed at that much traffic is NOT responsible. Look to all those merc’s, bmw‘s, Audi‘s around you, they could go 250 km/h mostly too. But they don’t do it. They know why. 💥 Greetings from a German firefighter with hydraulic spreader education.

[@MysticalMastodon]

I don’t know if you’re new, but Kyle really doesn’t give a fuck. If you watch his other videos road-tripping in the U.S., he and the other guys from this channel will do some pretty questionable things for content. Some faults are light, like unplugging other people’s vehicle and blocking other charging stalls to “save time”, while others are more condemnable, like driving up curbs and racing in snowy weather, passing in non-drivable lanes, etc.

[@panameradan6860]

$250k Taycan with no chrono clock or compass clock on the dashboard? That's one of the cool features in any Porsche, to my mind...

The clocks an option (as with most Porsches I think), you can spec it in the Taycan too :) Yet as with all porsches, the base configuration is an empty shell..

The Alpis at Merklingen are really split, so that Ionity can always guarantee you 200 KW. And you are right, it doesn't make sense.

[@kemicbi]

I can comfortably go 150 km/h or around 95 mph in my car, anything more than that and I'm just asking for trouble, now a regular sports car with tuned suspension can easily go over 125 mph without breaking a sweat but if you get into a crash with no helmet or safety gear you're a goner, now doing 200 mph in an electric car that weighs as much as a Ford f-150 gas truck on the open road is just just beyond insane, the amount of trust you have to have in your car/tires and the road is crazy

[@dzonikg]

My car top speed is 250 km/h electronically limited but i never drove more then 180 and that was like for 10-20 seconds.Everything beyond 150-160 feel very unsafe for me and uncomfortable

[@donwilber1628]

You don't think you'd be dead in a 95mph crash? Sure, you get more reaction time at lower speed, but you'd be just as dead if something popped up in front of you. FWIW, I lived in Germany for six years and driving 100mph is very comfortable, something you get used to, especially when people drive on the right pass on the left and use their turn signals when changing lanes.

[@Wised1000]

I lived in Germany for 3 years in the 80s and have visited numerous times after that. I used to drive the autobahn every day. I really like Kyle and his channel and everyone in it. Let me be clear.... Driving on a PUBLIC road at 200 mph, even though technically legal, is EXTRAORDINARILY STUPID. It doesn't matter how good the car or the driver may be. At that speed the minimum stopping distance is about an eighth of a mile, if the car gets sideways all that downforce that is keeping you on the road is lost and the car can get airborne and lose control in an instant. I saw many catastrophic wrecks on the autobahn, most people involved did not survive since at speeds of 100 miles plus cars just basically desintegrate. Since the EU was formed, the autobahn has gotten less safe since now the road is full of non-German licensed drivers who are less aware of how crucial lane discipline is to high-speed driving. So take it from from an "old expirienced hand" here, have fun, but STAY SAFE. I cant remember who it was but in the 90's one of the editors of the main auto magazines that tested top speed of the cars they evaluted got killed (on a track) doing a top speed test. They stopped testing top speed after that. When the Veyron was introduced, VW did top speed runs on a closed portion of the autobahn that VW had access to. End of rant.

[@martyndavies1482]

Came here to say this, you put it best.

[@prof1crl]

Holy exageration. I drive on the Autobahn on a daily basis and I feel way safer here than any other motorway. Drivers are mostly predictable and even if they are not, as long as you keep safety distance and pay attention to the road, driving at higher speeds is not harder than cruising. Also, why the hell would a car go sideways?? You trying to drift or what.

[@martyndavies1482]

@@prof1crl Sure, but there comes a point when all the unlikely things happen at once and suddenly it doesn't seem so safe anymore. Kyle's reviews and enthusiasm are top notch, however there is a limit to what should be done for our entertainment without putting other road users at greater risk. Seeing a car tear around like this, and around blind corners in villages, is just not something I want to watch.

[@prof1crl]

@@martyndavies1482 I don't condone speeding in Landstraße or city but in the Autobahn, you drive according to the conditions. If there is heavy traffic you better slow down otherwise what you said will happen is correct. But sometimes the road is free, like this Sunday when I was comming from Düsseldorf and you can go as fast as you want. All I wanted to say is that it is not really as dangerous driving fast as people think, but you have to be aware of the dangers if you want to do it safely.

[@Wised1000]

@prof1crl I never said the A bahn isn't safe. I said it's not safe at 200 mph. Very different things. The average speed of the A bahn is 85 mph. Driving at more than twice that is extraordinarily stupid. That's why the Nurburgring is so popular, Though a race track, it is officially part of the A-bahn. If you dont know how you end up sideways while driving on straight road, you are utterly ignorant.

[@panosgk7131]

In my opinion the two speed gearbox is a good thing as you can see with most other ev cars that they overheat pretty easily as they spin the motor at so high rpm that heat loss is inevitable. They stress the motor and the heat management system too much

[@jyjang1391]

Camera angle is so bad😑

[@michaelp.459]

I am curious to see which efficiency the Tesla Model S Plaid is going to show if you are driving it hard. It would also be interesting if Tesla has upgraded the breaks in the meantime and how often you are able to push the car hard before it reduces the power. Having tested a most recent Model S when needing to choose a new car, I was very impressed by the efficiency and the interior space but for the rest it is not at level with its German competitors. Price wise it is on the other hand a steel. Same thing with the Lucid Air, which is superior to the Tesla. If efficiency and space are king, choose American, if you want sophistication, get something German. Always good to have the choice!

Doesn't water cooling not really work with EVs? Why do they have to use the AC to manage heat? I thought an electric drivetrain generates less heat than internal combustion.

[@lukasweishaupt2708]

An internal combustion engine is able to withstand much higher temperatures. Some engines go up to 120 degrees Celsius without any problems. For an electric car, 30-35 degrees is ideal, while 70 is already very hot. Why does this matter? Maintaining a temperature below 120 degrees using ambient air is easier than keeping it below 70 degrees. The greater the temperature difference, the easier it is to achieve the desired cooling.
