It just doesn't work: Tesla

Just walked a P3D from highway speeds, car is slow, shit on it with my 11 year old caveman power station gas guzzler, electric has a long way to go.

Top Gear seems to disagree with you. Model 3 destroyed every car in the half mile, including C63S.

The Tesla modding has not begun yet. Tesla has not built a ground up performance car yet. This is just fitting 2 motors to a basic sedan body. Change the gear ratio from 7.5:1 fixed to something else and you probably could run 10 second quarter miles. The new roadster will run 7 second quarter miles.

  1. tesla had the jump as all three cars didnt even start giving it a huge 0.3-0.5 sec head start which is massive for a tesla.
  2. My car is faster than all those stock cars
  3. No, C63s still beat it in the end despite the tesla’s jump. I know your reading comprehension is shit, but I know your viewing comprehension is shit as well.
  4. My tesla shitting was from 50mph +…not from a stop. Tesla stomps on the pedal and im going form 3500 rpm…

You’re making shit up again. The Tesla is lightning fast until wind resistance takes over. So more like 95 MPH rather than 50 MPH. There’s no air resistance at 50. Only then do caveman cars have an advantage.

BTW, Tesla now includes Ludicrous mode for free in the Model S/X Performance. So for $99k you can go 0-60 in 2.3 seconds every day for the rest of your life. No other car can do this.

BTW 2, they lowered the price on Ludicrous because they are switching from a 2 motor car to a 3 motor car with independent motors on each rear wheel. Not only will this provide torque vectoring for the track, but it will be a lot faster 0-60 and 0-120. Maybe 2.1 seconds.

A stock Model 3 just did the quarter mile in 11.4 seconds. It’s getting faster, and it’s all through free software updates.

LOL it slowed down at 130 MPH. One free software update next month and it will get the 1 car length back in the 1/2 mile.

It’s really pathetic that a performance electric of 2019 cant keep up with my 10 year old caveman power plant.

Just wrecked a C63S on the same stretch of freeway just as bad as the P3D. Best bang for the buck right now is the TT-RS / RS3, upgrade those turbos you’re in modern hyper car territory running 9s shitting on all tesla’s made today, and looks 9999 times better than a P3D.

Nice kill.
The 2.5 motor is incredible. As mentioned above and I didn’t want to argue with west as it became clear he didn’t know what he was talking about from a mechanical / electronic stand point. But the electronic cars are impressive there is room to grow but your very limited today and I think for a while. As someone who dosen’t just blindly love any kind of car you tend to really think things through.

Now with 10 speed transmissions better manufacturing tech and precision even a typical blaa car of today is better than some sports cars of 30 or even 25 years ago.

Even if Tesla makes a 9 second car. Ok thats great but again its not something that isn’t already achievable if you want to do that to your mustang RS3 or standard sports car.

Its so funny to see the blind electric car guys… OH THE MODEL this or that just hit 11.X… ok great welcome to the performance of gas powered cars like 30+ years ago.

Yeah, an Iroz TT-RS is cool. Not exactly California emissions legal. But so is a modded EV that goes 0-60 in 2.2 seconds.

Again, nearly every consumer is fine with winning every 0-120MPH race and having 1 millisecond reaction time launches. Very few people need that 1/2 mile time.

Can confirm the $35k Tesla is faster than the 14 second Supra. LOL.

Thanks, those big N/A engines really suffer at 7k ft altitude lol

Yes, I have really been looking at them lately but I still enjoy my car. Agreed, It is hilarious when Tesla guys talk about 1/4 mile times ::slight_smile: They need to stick to the 0-60 times

Have you driven it? It’s a freight train until well north of 100 MPH. I think if you changed the fixed 7.5 gear ratio you could get much better times.

Honestly, it’s the only car that can actually make you feel sick it’s so fast.

Model 3 just did a 11.45 quarter mile at 117.

Model S just did a 10.5 quarter mile at 126.

Nice.

RS3’s are in the 9s

8s actually but who’s counting.

Ohhhh…so P3D only 3 secs behind it. :smiley:

It is so effing stupid and pointless to compare modified cars to unmodified cars…

The Tesla has already had multiple tunes for free…what are you talking about? Whole world has had years to modify it too…all they can do is rip out seats and parts lightening a P100D getting low 10s…

Yeah I think what he means to say is. Your really destroying the argument that the electronic cars are something new and performance wise so so so much better.

Also it adds to the point. It’s not our fault that there isn’t anything performance wise you can do to an electronic car to modify it The expandability of an ICE motor is incredible…not so much for the electronic cars.

Lol, exactly. You cant modify anything in a tesla without alarms and shit blowing up your ipad

Pure, unadulterated, bulls*t trolling from both of you, and crappy, unimaginative trolling at that. ::slight_smile:
