Tesla Model S Plaid 1000 km challenge

[@davidkendall2272]

Can't wait to see the Long range MS 1000 km challenge. I have been blown away with my MSLR efficiency over the past year.

[@David_Polak]

How much was your consumption on average?

[@Justfun-xc9oz]

My Model 3 LR is broken I think. Only getting 250km out of 85% soc. Really starting to hate my Tesla. All those promises. But degradation is sky high after just 60.000km and 3 years.

[@NoMoYOUsernames]

@@Justfun-xc9oz Well judging from your other short screen-shot video where the app restricts your max charge setting to 64%, I would say there is something wrong with your car. That's probably not degradation you're seeing, it is something else. You should be covered by warranty, why not just make a service appointment?

[@lachlanB323]

@@Justfun-xc9oz That isn't normal. You have an 8 year warranty so use it. Battery issues are extremely rare and discovered in the first couple year of ownership if they do happen fortunately. Do you mean 250 miles maybe?

[@lachlanB323]

@@Justfun-xc9oz 250km of range would be be over 50% degradation. So it will die rapidly now.

Thanks man, I m so curios to see the eventually results with the Long Range future test. Great!!!!

[@iowa_don]

6:09 - Check out the Tesla Plaid Channel. He just uses his Plaid for drag racing. He took out the rear seat and the removable stuff in the trunk. A typical 1/4 mile (0.4 Km) run is 9.2 seconds and 150 MPH (241 KPH) and takes about 3% of the battery or about 3 KW. A 1/8 mile (0.2 Km) run is 6 seconds at 120 MPH (193 KPH) and is 1-2% of the battery. He's only been beaten once by a car that was NOT trailered to the drag strip.

[@Muskar2]

kW is a measure of power - like horsepower. kWh is a measure of energy. So you meant 3kWh.

[@iowa_don]

@@Muskar2 Yeah, you're right. Bjorn had a whole video about that some time ago. Oops.

[@Astrophysikus]

Impressive, especially given the temperature! That said, it fully shows what Bjørn said: at this point, the car is not really the issue any more, as the time is for all intents and purposes the same as with the reference ICE-V. So much for you cannot road trip an EV.

[@MrUled]

Be great to redo this in summer!

[@zwanz0r]

The yoke makes all the difference. In my Tesla Model 3, I've never even seen my passport on the dashboard, let alone being able to touch it!

[@larryspiller15]

[@antti_kukkonen]

12:03 what does this mean? In Finland the minimum speed for a fine is 7km/h+3km/h for tolerance=10km/h in 70-120km/h zone

[@Dom21221]

Björn activated the plaid mode. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the upload

[@kaasman78]

About the chill in the car. I noticed that as well. But I'm driving a Model 3 LR AWD from 2019. What i noticed since the update that introduced the 'low' and higher base setting for the fanspeed (so no more setting number for fan speed), the system uses 'automatic defogging'. Then it directs all air to the front windscreen and not in your face or to your legs. When it's colder outside it stays on that defogging setting longer it seems, giving me very cold legs during a drive. Especially when it's freezing outside. Do more people notice that?

[@sj-trekhaak4531]

Yes

[@VoxelLoop]

I do notice auto defogging is active for longer! But I can't personally say I've noticed my legs being cold as a result, 2019 Model 3 Performance here. :) Credit where it's due... The auto defogging does a really good job! We take it for granted but when I've been in a car without that feature you absolutely notice the lack of it.

[@Timo-qb1gf]

Yes! Didn't connect that with the auto defogging but it would explain it.

[@mattaut88]

You can still set fanspeed number when not on "Auto".

[@raisethereef]

The auto HVAC in Tesla has continually gotten worse over time. They put very little heat on the floor any longer and it’s very annoying. You can clearly tell the engineers do not live or test in a cold climate. I also noticed on my 2019 Model 3 that the auto was basically broken. If I didn’t leave it on HI, it would barely heat the car. Tesla gave me the whole “everything is normal” excuse so I gave up and had to control it manually at all times.

[@mistermister2085]

I had a early 90s f150 and the high beams were on the floor to the left of the brake pedal. I liked it.

[@MrAdopado]

High beam foot button was fairly common on old design UK cars in 1950s and 60s.

[@thorbjrnhellehaven5766]

The wallet scene reminded me about a stressfull passport episodebI had before checking in at Busan Airport to go home. I couldn't find my passport. I was allowed into an office close to check in. They called the taxi, and my holtel. When they didn't find it, I wanted to prepare for loads of work with my travel agent and the embassy, to get home, with possible delay. But when I opened my laptop, I found my passport on the keyboard. I apologized, then proceded to check in, and got home on schedule.

[@rui569]

New Model S LR will shatter all records for sure.

[@phonehoppy]

Auto Highbeam has greatly improved in my 2019 Model 3 with software 2023.2.0.5 and onwards. It was really bad before, but now it's absolutely useful.

[@AllCarbone]

Is there a reason why the plaid was without aero caps and would there be a difference in result? Great and realistic test. 👍 Thank you for your hard work and support.

[@bjornnyland]

Ask Marcus.

[@ashton9699]

In range test video (just released) it's shown to be equipped with winter tires, so possible that they are just a set on separate rims and aren't the original rims for the car.

[@Blasterxp]

Does it have the latest software update? Auto high beam is fixed at model 3!

[@Muskar2]

Really? My Model 3 claims to have the latest (2022.44.30 - Denmark) and it still does pretty much the same as Bjørn showcases. It has been slightly improved over the years (particularly the reaction to opposing drivers) but it still takes about 2 seconds to turn on, turns off to reflective road signs all the time and wants to blind pedestrians in a well lid city with no opposing cars.

Yes

@0:58 That's one point to the _YOKE_

[@cancimcem]

Same test with plaid also in summer please

[@koomaj]

Finally! Plaid is here.

[@topgunm]

No doubt that the MSP would be #1 if the test was run the summer. Summer tires have less rolling resistance than winter tires + wasted energy for heating and more drag due to the higher air density of the colder weather. In regards to the heating system (cold on the knees): There are several people that have this problem. My MSP does not have this problem.

[@Overlegen]

[@davedyer3654]

Headlights, go into settings and reset the beams!! Impressive low power consumption

[@gregdavis3723]

Bjorn, you should have run the challenge with the wheel covers installed. They're supposed to add 3 to 4 percent to the range at highway speeds. In a 1000km challenge, they could make a significant difference. When you do the 1000km challenge with the non-Plaid Model S, please use the 19" wheels with the covers.

[@bjornnyland]

Don't worry. I had narrower tires.

[@mk500]

Wouldn’t the aero hubcaps make a significant difference?

[@bjornnyland]

Nope, not significant. Consumption might be 5-10 Wh/km lower which means 5-10 kWh less energy needed. At 200 kW charging speed, it takes 1.5-3 minutes extra.

[@JoshuaDay]

"EVs are for city use only - and it takes ages to charge them anyway..." 😁 Great video, however, I HATED the music... ...as for the chill in the car - I am sure it was because you got used to Thai climate and now even 22 degrees seem to be cold to you 🤪

[@UweRoclawski]

Name for the Plaid: The Green Manalishi (with the two prong crown)🤘

[@gr8899]

The problem with the auto high beam on motorways is that the headlights of the oncoming vehicles are hidden by barriers between the lanes.. it works better (but not perfect) on normal roads.

[@ajinkya_p]

Date should be 18/02/2023. At 22:30 min.

[@RhabdoRacing]

Remarkable. The aero hun caps would also help it quite a bit

[@bjornnyland]

Yes, but this car had narrower tires than original.

[@stefankunz2776]

Did you try Dragstrip mode to preheat the battery 20min before fastcharging?

[@Chris21709]

I noticed max regen power was 110 kW. Is that only true for the Plaid? I think it's 85 kW for 3/Y, and once saw that track mode bumps that up to (I think) 115 kW. All models should have a higher max regen option, 115 kW or so.

[@tesla-spectre]

You have to do a summer run with this beast. It might with some luck beat the Kia even! Totally impressive. Consumption might be 20-30% less, no?

[@nfcknblvbl]

You put the plaid test date at 2022

[@tellusw9701]

Because of the separators from the midle of the highways the system dosen't recognise incoming traffic and dosen't tourn off the highbeam. I also drive a truck and is very annoying.

[@apkungen89]

Also regarding Eqs vs model s, the model s is way lighter. That decreases the consumption quite a bit.

[@strongandhealthy126]

To be honest my Audi also turns off the high beams so late when there is something in betwenn both lanes, like on the Autobahn.

[@neuromancer777]

And Tesla does not even has a 800V system yet. I guess with the new platform they will kill charging time of any other verhicle.

[@topgunm]

Also don't know what mode you used, but if you used Plaid mode it will keep the batteries at a higher temperature than necessary (see the manual), which will have an impact on range.
