Tesla Model S Plaid vs 911 Turbo S vs 1100 WHP Nissan GTR // DRAG & ROLL RACE

[@ThrottleHouse]

Hey everyone! Glad you enjoyed the video! Just a note on the brakes: as we said in our track test, the Model S Plaid is underbraked. Basically what that means is that it doesn’t have the stopping power to compensate for how ridiculously fast it gets to speed. Nor does it have the thermal capacity to continue to drag its mass to a stop over and over again. When we filmed this, the brakes overheated on the SECOND stop. And from then on there was a drastic reduction in braking performance. Furthermore, braking performance comes from more than just the pads and rotors. Suspension, abs calibration and tires all come into play. We found that it lacked in most of those departments and didn’t impart confidence to the drivers. When we film these we do multiple runs and tests, to make sure we can extract the best possible performance out of the cars before we actually race. And it seemed like the Plaid we had here never recovered. The first stop is “fine” yes. (Should still be better for how quickly it gets to speed) but anything after that it didn’t have the performance necessary to give the drivers a feeling of confidence at all stopping from 250+km/h on our rather bumpy braking zone. A car with this level of straight line performance should have brakes powerful enough and consistent enough to stop it over and over again. That said, if you just treat this like a road car. It’s totally fine. And despite our comments we are still blown away by the Plaid. Thanks for watching!

[@philorgneopolotin8762]

Honestly you guys should just do a brake test. All this just seems like speculation until you bring in some comparable cars at the same price range, and test their braking distances. Bring in a few 100% stock cars, with the manufacturer’s brakes still on, and do a side-by-side test to show how it compares to similar cars at its price range.

@7841. I’d rather spend my money on a car that I can drive cross country in days and never give me issues instead of a Tesla that would take weeks and probably have issues. Not saying the plaid isn’t a nice or fast car but Porsche’s are designed not for straight seats but for driver/car mating. I’d take a Porsche over a Tesla any day of the week because the only downside to a Porsche is price. The downside to the Tesla is a very long list. I say that with the upmost respect to Elon as he’s actually one of my top 4 favorite ppl of all time. P.S. A lot of 911/ Cayman owners track their car regularly so yes, it makes sense for someone to want brakes that outperform 100 to 1 compared to the Tesla.

[@kuraryuX]

@@sjorsangevare well there's two categories that could be why Thomas was struggling, weight (which we all know) and brake wear/fade. By the third run those brakes were already pushed to its limits, hell maybe even the second run, remember when James said he could smell his brakes? That's a sign of VERY heavy braking. Which gives me reason to believe that the braking wasn't exaggerated for Thomas, he was really fighting the brakes. An I do believe one episode when they did this, not sure what they dragged against but he raced the tesla against something and he had to put BOTH feet on the brakes to stop the car. Plus also we gotta add in the speed of that machine and weight that those tiny brakes can't handle. That car needs 6 piston brembo (or equivalent) brakes to stop that tank of a car.

[@deanmcmanis4862]

One of the points that they didn't mention in the video is that the power delivery of the Tesla Model S Plaid is limited up to about 60MPH because the acceleration is as quick as it can be. Being limited by AWD street tire traction. The difference in the Plaid model, is that after 60MPH the power keeps building from 600HP up to 1000HP+ and stays there to VMAX. So other AWD high performance cars can accelerate to 60MPH almost as quickly as the Plaid, but then the Plaid's power keeps building and it just walks away from most every other production car ever made. 60-130MPH and 100-150MPH are both around 4.5 seconds! Which is simply amazing!

@@limitedreach4446 people should not be driving that fast on the road in any condition, it is dangerous and irresponsible and could kill other drivers, regardless if it had good brakes or not. Tesla should not be help accountable for people doing that. I think the main reason why it does not have amazing brakes is due to it being designed to be driven as a daily car, with great specs and acceleration (which you can use on the road safely), and it is designed to use primarily regenerative braking as a means of slowing down and stopping. Anyway, just my take, they really should have better brakes though, of course there are safety concerns and it would just be a better all round car, but I think it is being made bigger a deal than it really is by elitist gatekeeping ICE fangirls, and I love ICE, I have a degree in mechanical engineering, it is just that I can respect both
