Holds up well considering it's price. Wonder how the C8 Z06 is gonna do. I'm surprised the M5 CS beat the M2 CS.

The Tesla Plaid ran a 1:12:50 with Thomas at the wheel, which slots it about 1 second behind the SS 1LE. The car is "dangerously underbraked", as they say.

Makes sense. A 5000lbs rocket which has enough energy to launch to 60 in 2s flat, but with same brakes as any other 3700lb car. I foresee a lot of crashes in this thing’s future. If you can afford a $150k car, you likely have high expectations in the braking department. This car will surprise. In a bad way.

Less than half a second difference between ZLE and SS 1LE?? Hard to believe.

This was the first review of the plaid i've seen, that actually detailed the driving rather than other reviews that focus entirely on the acceleration experience. He says in the video he only got one good lap due to the brakes. Makes me wonder how's there's a decent ring time for the plaid. Maybe the ring time was with one that wasn't stock? Or maybe the plaid is the review had brake issues? |

Throttle House also didn't mention their regen braking setting used but I believe Teslas offer different choices, some of which may take some of the load off of the traditional braking system. EDIT: Apparently the low regen option was removed around June 2020 leaving all new Teslas with standard as the only regen option but The Drive mentioned it being adjustable in their recent Model S Plaid review so idk. https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/...86743720251394 https://youtu.be/em4I4V-AvBo Last edited by cdrptrks; 11-02-2021 at 12:34 PM. |

I think you're right, didn't think about how a short tight road course doesn't have much opportunity to cool the brakes like the Nurburgring. And i'm not sure i'm right in thinking the plaid ring time is that great. I mean it got 7:36. This is a car with a much better power to weight ratio than a Zl1 1le, pulls +1g on the skid pad, yet the Zl1 1le gets a 7:16. I guess this is where the brakes, and handling on the limit make the difference? |

And I also agree that Nurburgring is not nearly as tough on the brakes as shorter tracks with higher brake zone density. I've picked up ~45s on the Ring by making small changes to my line, braking points, (generally lowering my survival instincts) and being able to carry more speed out of corners over 2 seasons there. By the way, here was one of my laps at Nordschleife in my previous M2 earlier this year. And another lap from the 1st person POV Last edited by 5.M0NSTER; 11-03-2021 at 04:21 PM. |
