Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Awd Roller Test notes: The Tesla Model 3 is not equipped with the Off-Road assist feature, but there is a Slip Start feature, the equivalent of a TCS on/off. Even if we use the Slip Start, the car will simply detect that the wheels are spinning and maximize traction, but on the roller, you can see that slip starts sends more power to the rear wheels than in the front. On all tests except the 1 wheel traction roller test, just a smooth press of the throttle, and it's easy for the Model 3. When there is traction on only one wheel, even if the pedal is to the metal, it will struggle a little bit. This is one of the smoother vehicles we have taken on those rollers, just press slowly on the accelerator and let the car work, it's really impressive! The scrubbing sound that you hear is caused by the Ev Mup Flaps ( a must if you want to protect your paint), they are incredibly resistant. Note that this Dual Motor AWD is similar to the Model 3, Model X and Model Y, but will react slightly differently due to different suspension configuration and algorithm! #teslamodel3 #model3 #rollertest
in 1 wheel traction test, the car is partially in the air, and it doesn't have enough weight on the wheel. Try putting rollers under all 4 wheels, and chock the roller on the testing wheel. it'll be better
You know, the funny thing about this video is no one seems to understand that the Frame and suspension along with aggressive sway bar simply don't allow much weight to be touching the ground on that 3 wheel roller test.... another way to validate that is the fact that reverse worked better on the front as the weight shifting pushes the front down enough for it to grab some traction. Really I see no flaw in the AWD system as it's not able to fully make use of its traction in this situation since the tire is spinning. Vehicles with better flex and suspension travel will prove this.. :) If you got to have that off-road capability, get smaller sway bars, softer suspension and smaller rims for higher side wall if the rotors allow, and it would be a totally different story.
They could simply put a plate under that single wheel to keep the balance. This is not an off road vehicle were suspension allows these differences. Generally the drive system was not that excellent. The reaction time was just average imo. But for a street car good of course.
Hi I am wondering if the XC60 passes all your tests since it has a Borg coupling which is famous for seamless transmission to the rear wheels.. looking forward to see that video !
If you watch closely, you see it gets channeled to 1 wheel, it spins it and the whole car almost jumps off the rollers sideways. On these rollers, contrary to real driving situations, the wheels without traction are carrying the most weight, where the wheel with traction is slightly dropped/lifted off the ground - due to springs and anti roll bars. An off-road vehicle will have more suspension travel and have more weight on the dropped wheel, but as I said, in real life the slippery patches will be low instead of higher up.
Wow Tesla!! I still luv Tesla vehicle’s regardless My 2020 Hyundai Santa HTRAC AWD would’ve gotten unstuck quick in that same situation. The new Hyundai Htrac performs like a 4x4 which delivers 50% power to front and rears but side to side as well. But you do have the option to lock the differential of your choice instead running in auto mode.
@@CarQuestion That is nfg! Although the performance is stellar in all other test conditions, including the diagonal test, it can get stuck. While many other cars passed the tests with more wheel spin, but they didn't stuck. I don't want to get stuck on the road lol
It just does what it is supposed to do, because of the stiff anti roll bars the one wheel with traction has not enough weight on it to pull the car off the rollers. Unhook the anti roll barrs and it will d it as smooth as silk.
Ohh God!!! that's not how a proper awd works. Check a subaru forester 2020 , or a range rover autobiography on icy hill climb ... To enhance ur knowledge

When the car is 3 wheels stucked, it look like the car is making its own momentum to get out 🙄 that’s just some next level slip differential algorithm
For 1 wheel traction tests, I've seen others still use 4 roller platforms with one locked, to prevent the car sliding sideways.
EV's need to tone down the torque to the wheel with traction.

Imagine doing this test with the Rivian R1T with its own motors at every wheel
Cant wait to see that
maybe a joint venture with subaru might help?
Expected more from electric AWD.

Where can I purchase these rollers? Or the components to build them??
custom made out of conveyor parts $$$
Super vidéo, merci.
Do you have a link to where you purchased the rollers?
I want to know too! Want to test my car’s capabilities. Following

good vid,, seen the same couple years ago
All that torque and still unable to channel it to one wheel to get unstuck

@@nevenzel Way more intelligent understanding then @revaholic had. This is a very impressive AWD system. :)
Switched from Subaru to Tesla and test results look horrifying. Byt yeah, I guess you cant get it all.
Wonder if a 4Runner with it's rear locker + a-trac can beat this?
Wow Tesla!! I still luv Tesla vehicle’s regardless

It is unclear how it got off on the 1 wheel drive test. Did a wheel grabbed the roller frame for friction? I was gonna to give 100% lol
It was not able to, you can see it rolled on the side of the roller

whisperyck you won’t, rollers are good but are not “real life” so in real life the handled everything really well.
Very impressive, did you ever perform the slip test on a rear wheel drive Model 3?
Don't forget to like & subscribe!
Why would you need a slip test for RWD. No traction on rear wheels = not getting anywhere
I'm actually surprised on the one wheel test
Honestly the sys is to complicated
Ive seen a card do better than that
It just does what it is supposed to do, because of the stiff anti roll bars the one wheel with traction has not enough weight on it to pull the car off the rollers. Unhook the anti roll barrs and it will d it as smooth as silk.
@@nevenzel your prob right lol
OK rollers BUT if in mud car would dig itself in !! And impossible to get out unless tow or dig out!
Quattro rules!
Actually no, the Tesla beats Quattro in these tests.
@@TrendyStone actually in real life Tesla will beat just road bump stop with it weight and suspension
@@WarnerBosss Sorry, I didn’t catch that.
Quatrro... are you from the 80's?
At least say Subaru. Audi is shittt
Who told its an impressive awd... In 1 wheel slip test it was struggling to put power on the wheel with traction ... Shame on tesla.
We did. It’s a car with no suspension travel. It pulled to a point of moving sideways the roller.
Ohh God!!! that's not how a proper awd works. Check a subaru forester 2020 , or a range rover autobiography on icy hill climb ... To enhance ur knowledge

@@CarQuestion Subaru awd has been killed by CVT transmission and there is still people think it's powerful as before
@@MyLife2020 When your not going up a rutted hill where the suspension is not being fully articulated it's still one of the best out there.
