HIGH VOLTAGE | UNPLUGGED AT PIKES PEAK - Behind The Scenes Documentary

[@mohammadsharif6971]

Watching this in my model 3 performance!

[@VoxelLoop]

Isn't it a crazy thought that the car that won was almost completely stock? The 'Electric Performance' one driven by Blake that is. All it had really was different tires and some stickers, it won the Exhibition class and was getting into Open Wheel times. To think that cooling is the only issue these cars experience under such strain, even the Unplugged Performance vehicle is a totally stock powertrain with improved cooling. It's insane. Tesla might get all the 'but but... my panel gaps' complaints, but damn can they make a seriously beefy and robust powertrain, no doubt about that.

[@curtiswong454]

Great story, but what was really amazing was watching the team roll up their sleeves and get that car repaired in 2 days. The dedication and perseverance was inspiring. Failure was not an option for this team. A great video to watch over again.

[@sagarparmar-mp6hb]

Loved it. Can't wait for it. Also, Can't wait for unplugged Performance Model S plaid.

[@sagarparmar-mp6hb]

So i was right, Model S Plaid 😉♥️

[@ท่องเที่ยวทั่วโลก-ฑ2ฑ]

Waiting for Unplugged Performance Roadster & Cybertruck 😃😀👍👍

So many more records are going to be made by Tesla

[@00specmiataracer]

Thank you Unplugged Performance , that was amazing

[@UnpluggedPerformanceTesla]

Thank you too!

[@AustinFerguson]

Absolute legend.. Cant wait to see this years car, gonna be amazing.

[@nickolastorres]

Can’t wait to see what you guys can do this year. Was so inspired by how you persevered last year!

[@im4udevco]

I’m in tears and love the morale of this story. Be relentless in what you do and never give up. What a great comeback at 1.3s close to 1st. Kudos to the entire team and all well wishers. Looking forward to the Model S Plaid on the next one.

[@Speedytrip]

This is why Tesla doesn't have to spend on advertisement :D This guy is 63 years old...what a legend.

[@PlaidZoomer]

Yeah the Tesla community is so in love with the car is that they do crazy amazing stuff like they did in this video

[@Executiveinvestments-]

does not "have to spend"? Maybe they should spend. They would sell more cars.

[@dirzz]

@@Executiveinvestments- they can't make enough of them to satisfy demand yet, so they really shouldn't bother for now.

[@Executiveinvestments-]

@@dirzz you are joking right? There are dozens unsold sitting in the dealer lot right by my house.

[@dirzz]

@@Executiveinvestments- these must be used, because there's a quite a long waiting list for any new model, minimum of 4-6 weeks for model 3 performance, others for much longer than that.

[@Captain-Awesome]

Randy and Tanner are by far my favorite two Race Drivers highly skilled drivers that are some of the nicest two guys you could ever meet.

[@19ray78]

Felt good to relive the experience from last year, see all the details of the massive effort to rebuild and the bittersweet race outcome with the heating issue... Loved this, and looking forward to this year’s run! Go go go!

[@joelrampersad1359]

I want to see the Unplugged Roadster do that run.

[@PlaidZoomer]

Me too. It would for sure beat any production car

[@janknudsen145]

way to go randy me and my model 3 are there with ya.

[@MichaelPomposello]

Hands down one of the best things I've seen on KZbin. Network quality video work. Amazing story. Awesome work by everyone involved!

[@lifestyle4dividends776]

Just epic!!! It made me tear up a little at the end when he was talking about the mission and what it stands for! Great people and a truly epic Randy with a beast of a model 3... Well here we are one year later and a MODEL S PLAID is about to fly up this mountain on June 27th. Cant wait 🚀

[@mikeanis8554]

There's a great lesson for life here! Never give up and stay determined at all costs! I'm sure that rebuild was a long and tough circumstance but all who were involved also know they became a part of something special, which doesn't happen often enough in life.

[@2003MarionSSS]

What an awesome story! Great job!

[@UnpluggedPerformanceTesla]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ericisnominal]

What’s that philosophical question - if you change a Tesla one piece at a time. Is it the same the Tesla or a different Tesla when every piece is changed. Hahaha great video

[@ElectricGlider2016]

Ship of Theseus.... Or in this case Ship of Tesleus?

I have Abraham’s Lincoln’s axe. It’s just had the handle replaced 7 times and the head replaced 6 times.

[@gianmarcorandon9776]

amazing documentary, can't wait for this years run!

[@cravarc]

What great guys. What wonderful attitudes. Inspirational... and not just in racing.

[@danburkland]

Awesome video, great production and great story! Looking forward to seeing what the Unplugged Team has up their sleeve for this year!

[@jontymo]

Best Tesla thing I have watched this year!!! riveting - well done all.

[@CodingMark1]

Lovely story and beautiful production. Thank you for sharing!

[@jimmyitzeloconnor5238]

The power of the Tesla community is inspiring and we’re proud to be a part of it. Bring on ‘The Plaid’!!!

[@grzybek3376]

Incredible documentary. Good editing, engaging, all around great video!

[@SyedTahirHussan]

I don't know why but there are tears in my eyes. You guys are real heroes! Keep on going until the road begs you to stop.

[@windrunner27]

Chills at the segment ending at 4:28. Cinematography and music together overwhelm the limbic system when done like that!

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Incredible effort to get the car rebuilt in time to run the race. This is a real testament to the human spirit. Good job guys!

[@Tgolden069]

This thing with max power is going to be….. insane.

[@buddylee19082]

What a STORY!!!?... This was one of the best behind the scenes type vids I've watched in a long time. Congrats to eveyone involved.

[@jensb3366]

This deserves way more views, well made!

[@timothysena253]

Perfect guy to speak and race, Randy.

[@mrpratster]

No, you are going back with model S Plaid. I would say a 8 min run is a possibility with this Plaid beast. Good luck Randy!!

[@mrpratster]

Really well-made video documentary. I can't wait to see the 2021season. Go UNPLUGGED!!!

[@harmonsinghrohil9321]

I was in tears when the car crashed and how Randy was feeling emotionally, he is right about feeling he had for crashing the car team! That guilt, that is the worst thing a racer can have!

[@mpgcamo]

Well done guys. inspirational story. Can not wait for Pikes Peak 2022

[@evinvestfuture7440]

Great video, and well done to the team. This was an exciting story to follow last year.

[@kevinsmith5810]

Can’t wait for the plaid run next week!!

[@joyking4129]

Great video! What an amazing journey your team has accomplished. Well done!

[@TheRocky3211]

smashing 10 min this year !

[@nsarboc]

Fantastic documentary. Great job. I really enjoyed the story.

[@macmovieman1]

Proud of you guys. Great story and we are rooting for you and you will be back again and win next time.

[@danielksong]

Awesome video. I think looking back at this race 10 years from now... people may not remember the winner of the race, but people will remember the story of perseverance and determination. Congrats guys and looking forward to seeing you guys rip it up this year too!

[@jspeedjones9502]

Just a week away…. Can’t wait to see this race in person this year! So excited!!!

[@VoxelLoop]

Looking forward to getting my hands on some Unplugged Performance coilovers and swaybars here in the UK once I can get my insurance to not triple my rate. The Model 3 handles great stock but it has a little too much roll for my liking. Great job Unplugged Performance team, both on the race and your amazing performance parts. :)

[@sergiobollana]

I knew of Randy crashing the Tesla Model 3 at Pike's Peak... but I didn't know they did this. Much respect for the whole team.

[@Cars-N-Jets]

Awesome documentary, I can't wait to see Randy get first at Pikes Peak this year!

[@quickdeuce]

Loved this story. I'm betting I am not the only 'ol motorhead who got a little emotional toward the end when we heard the car was NOT at it's potential, Randy knew it wasn't YET HE and his Tesla ran a mere 00.01.1 behind the leader. What time 'could' he and that spirited little hotrod have posted had the car been able to give Randy it's all? We'll find out later this year. Great comeback story, well done Unplugged Performance Team, all those who supported the rebuild and that wiley 'ol veteran pilot Randy Pobst!

[@TheGRCorolla]

Awesome show! Good race Randy! Hope to see yous out there next year for the big W!

[@motoren8536]

Appreciate the full story. Been piecing the bits together until now. Great job, ill be ordering some of your m3p upgrades soon.

[@glenanderson7899]

I love the 80's style montage when they were cannibalizing the other Tesla to fix the race car!

[@kali6651]

At 13:15, you can see how shaken up he is, look at how badly he is shaking his right hand. That adrenaline dump is insane!

[@twothbeave]

Is Randy not the nicest guy in the World? He just exudes positivity. Even after the crash, love that he doesn’t utter any profanity. “Crappola”. I just want to be his friend. All that and one of the greatest drivers on the planet. Why everyone brings him out to extract the fastest track times out of any car presented to him. Shows when he posts track records in all these bone stock cars. Can’t wait to see what he’s going to do with the UP Plaid on the mountain!!!

[@Lucas-iz5tm]

So inspiring, Amazing job to everybody on the team

[@DutchmanSeb]

What an awesome documentary, very well produced! Looking forward to seeing this year's attempt in plaid!

[@olegs79]

How much battery is left after flogging the Plaid up the hill like that? Do you use regenerative breaking for extra braking force?

[@sugy747]

The music at the start is : Lux - Ryan Taubert | she is in my favorite playlist and i directly recognize it ^^ great vid btw ! really like the content :)

[@K03sport]

Glad you are OK Randy. Some would/could say, with a future so bright, you should wear (some) shades 😎. Curious about more Unplugged performance and other companies traveling down the same road...or up, if you are talking about Pikes Peak.

[@nononsenseBennett]

EXCELLENT production! Can't wait for more

[@johnosborn8881]

[@Mytube8I]

Please tells us the name of the body kit on the 3. Very nice.

[@ryanmarshall4741]

Wow what an amazing story!

[@surferdude4487]

Great documentary. Just one question, did you ever discover what the problem was with the batteries overheating?

[@diniitotoom2526]

Getting roadster gen 2 when available?

[@Masterofworlds]

Yall cannibalized a whole car damn legends

[@hsumacher]

Going back in the performance 3? Or maybe the plaid u guys r running at laguna seca?

[@Uns46]

I love Randy

[@suguo1660]

What spoiler you got on that?

[@BFTVCanada]

This was so joyable to watch❤

[@rosstrue1]

I never realized Bill Nye was such a great driver!

[@bidyabhushanlaitonjam9585]

What a story. what an experience...

[@eugeneputin1858]

So loss of power was due to restricted flow to the battery then? Was the battery replaced as well?

[@RichardPeterShon]

when roadster 2 comes out with the rocket boosters, man it will make world record to stand for a long time.

[@gimpfoot]

New sub love this content. Randy is the man to.

[@replica1052]

soft front suspension and giant (plexiglass) guerney flaps - for the low center of gravity to help braking

[@thomasnatarajan9568]

This was so freaking cool I cant wait for the model s plaid though

[@matthewspry4217]

Dude you ate the rock wall !!

[@PSORIK]

Круто снято, просто супер

[@TfGamess]

Can't wait for the Model S Plaid.

[@Troyinnovate]

Randy is awesome

[@jonl9192]

Next year bring a model 3 and a plaid!!!

[@w0ttheh3ll]

Nothing but potential, roughly 400 Volts of it.

[@nycgags]

the one confusing thing, why no tire warmers? 1) You have an electric car, ok I can understand you do not want to waste precious battery. 2) generator? How important are warm tires? You can bring a support a vehicle, no? Support vehicle either carries the generator or is another electric car to plug in the tire warmers? Maybe I do not understand all of the rules involved.

[@carlocarnevali7790]

An unplugged performance Semi would be so out of this world

[@sqlevolicious]

EVs are truly intense, ICE is the horse and buggy now. I can't imagine anyone thinking EVs are not good for racing, since they dominate every motorsport now.

[@jasonwidegren]

Love it!

[@ashrafc7794]

And then came Covid. Did pikes peak happen this year?

[@lampiditesla]

Guys, this is incredible! Model 3 again? I don’t think so… it’s time for Plaid!

[@phungduykhanh5644]

Model S Plaid Unplugged will crush it this year! Roaster SpaceX Unplugged next year?

[@junyizou5943]

Can't wait to see cybertruck on pikes peak

[@PathosBedlam]

I can't wait to see the first stripped-out full-on race car Model S Plaid run a time at Pikes Peak. 1000HP on TAP all the way up. It'll be an epic run if done with the right driver. Hint Hint Randy. Maybe do that in 2022.

[@bob15479]

Did this car have an aftermarket cooling system?

[@selfsent5895]

No, a lot of other changes but cooling is stock

[@sprz97]

So what caused the loss of power?

[@lordsnoop623]

is it new or it is last year's one. perhaps it is last year's!

[@pesmaniak]

This was last year

[@anguschang2243]

Amazing, time to buy some new coilovers.

[@androidfreak2014]

The new Tesla plaid is wrecking all super cars in plain circuit can't wait to see it on Pikes Peak.
