The fact that the Plaid can fit my grandma, mom, sister, and her daughter going to Sunday brunch, or four of my buddies with a couple kegs, and still do THIS to a tuned McLaren is absolutely ball tingling.
When battery energy density reaches that of gasoline, that's when daily drivers are all 1,000+ HP and performance cars are 3,000+ HP. Looking forward to it.
I feel like we need to learn more about these electric cars and performance much like old deer heads with old school tuning. Nobody knows anything but was what they read in the pamphlet and read on the Internet.
@@Dirty88Dizl they are pretty simple and complex at the same time. Drawing from my experience in playing with Tamiya 4WD and RC cars, things driven by electric motors go faster if their electromagnetic coils can generate stronger fields and if their batteries can supply the needed power to do so. Thicker coil wire usually result in higher torque but also result in higher current draw, so you'd need batteries that have a higher mAh rating. If the motors use permanent magnets then stronger permanent magnets could make stronger motors too. What makes electric vehicles complex are the control electronics, and electric cars have more complex things going on vs. RC cars. RC cars don't have traction control, abs, stability control, etc.
@@rudysantana6369 yeah. A lot of hypercar owners just buy their cars and then drive them with zero mods. I don't think anyone is modding a Bugatti or a Koenigsegg like how people mod LS-powered cars.
Ever since I was a child, I imagined what my RC Car would be like if it were large enough for me to drive. That RC car was really quick. That was 50 years ago. The time has come!!
Exactly! Curiosity got the best of me and I ended up getting one and it's practically an oversized badass RC car that you can use for practical reasons. And more fun to drive.

Yeah kudos to the people around here being chill about it all. What a PAIR of cars these are. These cars are obscenely, obnoxiously, comically, cosmically fast. Trap speed at the end of the airstrip HAD to be approaching 170....if not OVER that. 300 kph was not far away. As for commitment.....the McLaren guy wins this one. Talk about swingin' for the fences. As someone stuck driving an econobox Corolla, I'd take ANYTHING fast to drive daily. I'd get myself killed in a Plaid....and what a glorious few seconds it would be.
Kudos to the guy with the McLaren,he knows how to drive it and wasn't even mad,gets asked :would you buy a Tesla? Answers:yes.Its an amazing race,hard to find someone with a car worth over $300k and willing to put it on the line.
@@zoultronzoultron9723 Honestly I would too, so I could rip it once, sell it before it blows up, buy a plaid and have a hefty down-payment on a roadster if I could get lucky enough for a reservation.
Fuck, man. This right here. Anthony is a real car guy - appreciates speed when he sees it, no matter if he wins or loses. That said, he might have just been really happy to be alive! Dude's got balls. After that performance you best believe this man flogs his 1000hp 720S. Love it when rich dudes don't baby their supercars. I wanna shake his hand.
I had the same question as you, but here's how I can make sense of it: 1st, the Tesla guy floored the break immediately after hitting the finish line. The McLaren guy was trying to win that he delayed his breaking just a bit. 2nd, the McLaren was going like 3 or 4 mph more.
@@jmoneyyy2116- The regen charges the batteries but does nothing to aid braking. The braking on the Plaids is marginal at best for the weight and speed they can go. If the Tesla owner hadn’t hit the brakes right at the finish line and instead braked at the same point the 720 I guarantee you would have seen a Tesla totaled and likely several passengers injured.
@@sirmonkey1985 No it doest.. A VW electric car does.. and of course an electric car is faster, it has no resistance or lag during launch or acceleration.. Its not a fair comparison. I dont know if you have driven a performance electric car, but they are so boring. You get that gimmicky torque and quick acceleration and that it.. It gets old so fast. There is no real sound or engine noise, no awesome exhaust note.. Its just flat out boring like being on the same roller coaster over and over again.
mclaren is made for high speed if this was real race not childs 1/4 you'd see how much faster it is because electric junk has no gears and can't go very fast

@@skillfulgoose101 right, but he said it was tuned, had a dp etc. 1000hp and almost half the weight. Still pretty crazy the Tesla pulled like that on it.
that would be wicked but i think in some cars the vehicle has to be a certain speed before CC works... like in my F150 i have to be above 40KM/hr for the cruise control to work
I can answer that for you. Tesla recently updated the auto cruise and lord is it a granny. So slow I just press on the accelerator to get back up to speed when needed. My F-150's adaptive cruise is much more aggressive.
I'm Brazilian, and it's very gratifying to see the respect people have for Senna and his legacy around the world. But, the instantaneous torque and energy efficiency of electric cars is unsurpassed! We can already say that it is an established technology. This Tesla is a marvel of automotive engineering!
I was shocked it did so well after 100. Off the line its a no brainier. You have to know that the McLaren would lose the first few hundred feet no doubts. Hp doesn't work out the same in electric cars. When they say 1000 it's a really distorted number. Sae horse power is a metric designed for engines. even then its kinda a marketing wank. The real insights come in the torque vs wheel RPM not converting torque into a number divided by RPM. This is where the distorted numbers on high revving engines vs low revving high torque engines come in. If you think about it, even the engine rpms don't matter if you keep the gearing in the power curve. In a engine this is really hard to do. The Tesla doesn't need to mess around with gear ratios because it can almost directly translate motor RPM to the drive shaft. Gearing very close to the peak power band is nearly impossible down low if you want a car that also has a high top speed. For that McLaren to be at peak torque the turbos need to be at nominal boost no matter how much launch control tries to get that, it will what's struggle to keep it there.
@@notsam498 But 1000 Torque is no wank number, shaft of the motor connected directly on the wheel driveshaft, no tranny to lose power. These new Tesla motors will do 20,000 rpms, three phase motor so there is zero loss it power verses a two phase or single phase motor. I work on industrial sites. 600v and 30 amps, you should see how fast a 10 ft round impeller fan built out of 1/4" steel starts and gets to full speed. Almost instantly. There's a reason a train engine doesn't use the straight 16 turbo diesel engine to drive the train, only to run a massive alternator providing 600v to the massive electric traction motors... torque!
@@hellfun1337 you don’t really need it as the front wheels won’t have the grip needed to power through. That’s why 2 motors at the back is better and 1 good motor can do the job on the front wheels.
@@bernhard.k it’s going to have 4 motors and the new battery technology. Plus the space x thruster package if you buy it. It’s going to probably run 7’s.
@@harsimranbansal5355 If its going to compete with a the 911 then it needs massive downforce in the front and engines to give it the power to over come that downforce.
Perfect example to all the "tuner kiddies" or "honda R.I.C.E. club" of exactly why a brake upgrade is crucial. And that thing has MASSIVE ass ceramic racing brakes... keep THAT in mind kiddos.
@@youngyingyang What's your point? McLaren is a Luxury Super Car that only has a couple made int he entire world made of the best materials and Technology you can get. If people only cared about how fast they go in a straight line for the cheapest, then everyone would have a GTR and no one would buy a Lambo, Ferrari or Porsche.
We never saw him brake. Hope you're not trying to say that the tesla stops better than the mclaren, obviously the Mclaren guy braked much later. A single brake is dictated by grip at the tires.
I have a hellcat redeye and I'm selling it to get a tesla plaid. I never thought I'd say that burn I rode in one a week ago and it is so fucking fast, it's hard to describe. Once you ride or drive one you'll change your mind too.
Ev's becoming faster to me is sorta like when autos became faster than manuals. In your heart you want the manual to win but that auto is always gonna gap you. Its the future and things change🤷♂️. Not gonna stop us from liking the whines and whistles of high performance engines though✊
You’d have to be super misinformed to think EVs are not the future. Once I saw Tesla produce quicker cars with 300+ mi range batteries and have them last 200k miles before needing a battery replacement, I knew it was the future
it's pretty much the pinnacle for ICE cars-maxed out with the Chiron. this is just the beginning for EV technology. 3000hp EV's within 3 years and the NHRA will be all Electric dragsters running 100,000hp-20,000hp classes in 10 years. this will be great for car lovers!
I’m still so shocked with what the plaid is capable of, I’ve had one ride in one at a cars & coffee event and it just keeps pulling. The gap in performance between the P100D and the plaid is monumental and it’s crazy how not even a few years ago, the P100D was one of, if not the quickest thing on the road from a dig…
@@kunaldahiya310 Bro, roadster 2, idk if it's healthy for consumers. Carbro's say Plaid is too much for consumers. Even for carbro's it's just too hard. Roadster 2 is even faster. What if some die? Like, break the neck? It's too fast. Need pro driver and helmet.
why are u shocked that an electric car is that fast? it literally has instant torque. I'm not tryna clown you but any real car enthusiast wouldnt be shocked over an electric being faster off the line than a gas powered car because they know that all that power is instant
What do you mean? That’s just a given, the engine helps break to slow the car so it can recycle energy Semi trucks have used engine breaks for ages just not for recycling energy
@@thezyreick4289 all I’m saying is that it’s very efficient at doing so and even stopped earlier than a much lighter car even though it had 2 husky passengers.
The Tesla still has the software top speed limited to 160 mph and it still won. That top speed limiter is supposed to be removed through an update later this Fall. It won't even be close then.
People need to understand they are competing with a crazy guy who builds rocket he's bringing a whole different game to the car world and as always People are afraid of change.
I genuinely appreciate the fact that the owner of that McLaren that cost probably $350,000 or more didn't come off as a cocky, arrogant prick. He honestly seemed like a pretty chill dude!
"Drum machines have no soul". Same between internal combustion compared to electric. They can excel rapidly, but without character. Llike watching a 2hr silent movie reading subtitles, no thanks I want the total package!

@@typhoon-7 You forget this is a family Sedan. A grandma can drop off her 3 grandchildren at school then smoke some ICE fools at a drag race then go camping with it the next day. Tesla hasn't made a serious race car yet.
Smoking the McLaren while being over 1600 lbs heavier is what really impresses me. There is still so much room for even crazier performance when batteries get stronger and lighter in the future.
I can't help but imagine if the Tesla engineers actually made a car just for drag. It wouldn't need the massive battery pack because it wouldn't need the range. Wouldn't need the back seat or any of the other luxury features.
I test drove the Model Y performance today(which is noone near as fast as this) and it was scary how fast that thing was. They sold me on the test drive, ordered mine today as well!! I can't wait!
Same! My and I took a Model S (non-performance) for a test drive. Instantly fell in love with it. Bought a Model S Performance ⚡️💨 132k super enjoyable miles driven so far.. Congratulations on getting your new Model Y soon!
I remember people laughed at Hellcats when they were getting smoked by Teslas several years ago. And you could say they were similar cars (both 4 door sedans). Now you get a much lighter freaking hypercar with the same amount of power as the Tesla yet it’s still not enough! Lol…

Just blows my mind. Tesla weighed like 6000lbs with all of them in it and still beat the mclaren. This is just the beginning. Imagine what a 4 motor Tesla would accomplish 🤯

I see all these people saying, “the model s is fast, but take it around a track”. Well, its a 4 door, 5000 lb sedan, so no its not a track car despite being stupid fast. The Roadster is going to be faster than a hyabusa motorcycle lol.
it's the free wheeling, induction motor in front that allows the Plaid to keep pumping out the horses at higher and higher speeds. A motor in the front with permanent magnets would provide drag when the motor was NOT being used to accelerate
I rode in a tesla . The ride is incredible. Smooth exhilaration ,smooth ride on the street and highway sound proof, comfortable. Really enjoyable. All kinds of technology in this car.
Everyone talking about how fast the tesla is... but how bout them brakes. It was going faster, weighed a lot more, is a family sedan, and still slowed down faster than the carbon fiber supercar that costs at least 4x as much.
@@markhd3059 we know, the Tesla break would over heat because of a lot braking bla bla bla and in this video it only had to break just 3 to 5 times, happy now.
I have a Tesla and the acceleration without the sounds is simply amazing. Your mind is trying to process the increasing speed but with no sound to go with it and it's freaky.
It really isn't. It's expected since those carbon ceramics rotors and pads on the McLaren were cold. The Tesla plaid is known to have poor braking. If the McLaren had all metal rotors and matching pads, or if those carbon ceramics were warm,, it wouldn't have been a problem. Carbon ceramic brakes cost 10X the equivalent steel (easy) for a reason. That Tesla is reported to stop from 60 mph, using some 11 extra feet, compared with that 720. That difference should get MUCH larger from 150 mph. Just a very small number of stops like that, and you sharply lose braking efficacy in the Tesla due to its extremely large mass (for a car). The McLaren on the otherhand, should progressively begin to stop more responsively and sharply, and will likely stay that way.
@@1uzfe I had to google this gibberish. Are you suggesting I'm sour for the results in the video? That's fine, idc too much. I'm just generslly a fan of motorsports.
@@toddsimone7182 that's a good point. I wonder how much braking it is responsible for under these hard stopping circumstances. I doubt it's alot, because it would need to have tremendous heat capacity and still function as an electrical device. Normal brake already have high heat capacity, and are yet overwhelmed all the time at the track (hence the carbon ceramic upgrade.) Also, it seems Tesla even offers carbon ceramic upgrade (~20K usd). I think they know their Plaid is bad at stopping repeatedly. It's just so heavy. I recommend Throttle House's review of the Plaid.
I was initially thinking 720S because of the power-to-weight, but then I realized that the McLaren only makes that power in a very specific rpm band while the Tesla holds that power the entire way. So while the Tesla was pulling at 1000 hp, the McLaren was pulling with an average of about 900 hp with moments of 1000. Also the power is only part of it. The Tesla holds over 1000 ft-lb of torque from the moment he puts the foot down to the moment he lets off. The horsepower probably started low and built to 1000 before eventually ebbing off on the top end a tad. The torque line is usually steady across the entire RPM range of the EV motors.
It's more to do with the Tesla being AWD. Even more so to do with the Tesla's 1000HP is at the wheels. The Mclaren's 1000HP is at the crank, so more like 750HP at the wheels. AND let's not forget, the Tesla has to warm the battery up to make that 1000HP which can take several mins, sometimes over 10 if it's cold outside.
Exactly. The Plaid already makes peak power at 60 mph, and keeps it around a 1000 hp until about 200 mph. That means it has close to peak power for 70% of its rev range. And for the first 30% it maintains peak torque until it hits peak power. When the torque starts to drop the power is maintained, resulting in a power graph that an ICE can never match.
Bonus race should have involved corners. That's the true test for a cars overall performance. But I'm from Colorado, where we did some real racing in the canyons back in the day, and most of my spirited driving is on the winding roads nowadays as well. Personally, I find it much more exhilarating than just doing pulls. I wouldn't want to try and throw almost 5,000 lbs through the corners. And it's hard to beat the sound and soul of an ICE powered car. But maybe that's just me?
The Race of the Century The Roadster Vs The Rimac 🤯🤯 Can't wait for the plaid to be unlocked tho wanna see the full power of the beast of a car silent but deadly.
@@JoshPoseyTech That is incorrect. Regen works great for a gentle slow from highway speeds, but from 160 mph, they're definitely all over the hydraulic brakes.
@@JoshPoseyTech Nothing to do with regen braking. Hope you're not trying to say that the tesla stops better than the mclaren, obviously the Mclaren guy braked much later. A single brake is dictated by grip at the tires, once you get to the limit of grip at the tires, more braking power doesn't do nothing. Mclaren has much better braking power, and 100% stops better.
@@weed46 regen braking works at all times when the brake is applied unless otherwise turned off. It is most efficient and makes the most since to be used at higher speed braking, it allows for more kinetic energy to be transferred into electricity. Tesla does have extended features that allow you to use a one pedal drive for example, but the regen braking is a significant part of the braking system on these Tesla’s. I have a high performance electric scooter with hydraulic brakes and regen braking. The regen braking works from higher speed braking, but not at lower speed.
@@christianpearson7108 You think it has even more? I don't think so. We are just used to petrol engine power figures which are peak power. While accelerating the engine will produce less than the rated power for a substantial part of the time. In other words: The Plaid will be able to put more energy into accelerating the car than a petrol car with 1020hp would in the same drag race.
I just got a ride in a S Plaid and it is by far the fasted off the line car I have ever been in. He it is fastest thing I have ever been in. Owner told me to put my head back before he flipped the switch and I am so glad he did.
FACTORY Plaid vs a modded McLaren.... far out man. And even with 3 beefy passengers, the 'electric shopping trolley' stayed with the McLaren. This is amazing... and we are just beginning the Sport EV life cycle. I mean, I LOVE the sounds of ICE... but if you can buy the Plaid off the shelf and still be a practical daily driver (the McLaren is NOT a daily driver), that's unbelievable.
The era of the ICE is long gone. Tesla Plaid will never be beaten by an ICE production vehicle. As someone who has pushed hard for EV tech for over a decade, nothing makes me happier than watching these ICE cars getting smoked by an EV. Thanks for the upload, btw!
@@wirebrush that’ll definitely happen this decade. We’re only about 5ish years away from 5 min charges. We’re basically at 15 min charge rn. The silicon content in the anode of the battery needs to be about 30%. Right now it’s 0%. Teslas 4680 cells will have 5% silicon and increase every year up to 30% by 2026ish. For reference the model 3 came out about 4.5 years ago.
@@wirebrush If you think he's wrong, you might want to read about Tesla's tab-less batteries. This tech gives 6x the power of current tech. It reduces charge time by 16%. He's not wrong, and he's not dreaming. This is now.
On the last roll run. It was kind of uneven.. The McLaren hammered it almost a car length ahead of the tesla. And tesla still won by a nose. With all that extra weight.. wow
The Tesla lost the last race, try to freeze it on the line I did and the Tesla lost by about 18 inches which considering the advantage the 720s had in terms of weight etc was still amazing by the Plaid.
The Tesla Model S was already at max speed of 163 mph and can't go past that right now because the software is holding it back. That is the only reason why that last race is so close because the Tesla Model S already hit 163 mph way before the finish line.
and just think, this (the plaid) is only a "normal" road car. I'm wondering what the new Roadster version will show lol. Also in regards to the end of an era comment going from petrol to electric. Shouldn't that be more like full circle instead? I think first cars were electric, seem to remember hearing that somewhere. It has just taken this long to get energy storage up to the point it is a viable option now.
In 1898, Ferdinand Porsche designed the Egger-Lohner C.2 Phaeton. The vehicle was powered by an octagonal electric motor, and with three to five PS it reached a top speed of 25 km/h. In 1899, Porsche joined the carriage maker in Vienna, k.u.k. Hofwagenfabrik Ludwig Lohner & Co. As per internet states, so it has made a circle in some way
It's mechanical vs electric 😂🤣 it's basic math. Nobody with more than 2 brain cells would think something mechanical could move at the speed of light , I don't get why so many people are impressed by Teslas 🤷
Fun fact: the first speeding ticket ever given in america was to an electric car is the 1890s doing 12mph on a 8mph zone. The cop stopped them on a bike.
Tesla is making absolutely insane cars. Watching the races and seeing just how fast it pulled the mclaren in.. unbelievable. It feels like watching kens episode with the hoonicorn. I gotta have one now.

You can actually see it clearly on the reply. The plaid started breaking even before passing the finish line whereas the McLaren kept going.
Tesla has regen braking as soon as you let go of accelerator and all that energy goes back to the battery
@@jmoneyyy2116- The regen charges the batteries but does nothing to aid braking. The braking on the Plaids is marginal at best for the weight and speed they can go. If the Tesla owner hadn’t hit the brakes right at the finish line and instead braked at the same point the 720 I guarantee you would have seen a Tesla totaled and likely several passengers injured.

Plz like this guy to go up top, this is a pretty solid (and fun) idea
What a stupid idea, I'm in!
that would be wicked but i think in some
cars the vehicle has to be a certain speed before CC works... like in my F150 i have to be above 40KM/hr for the cruise control to work
I can answer that for you. Tesla recently updated the auto cruise and lord is it a granny. So slow I just press on the accelerator to get back up to speed when needed.
My F-150's adaptive cruise is much more aggressive.
YES!
I'm Brazilian, and it's very gratifying to see the respect people have for Senna and his legacy around the world. But, the instantaneous torque and energy efficiency of electric cars is unsurpassed!

It's a shit washing machine on wheels don't simp on this uber cab please
Obrigado Ayrton, forever! +1 from Italy
Before the Plaid, Tesla's would fall off hard after ~70mph, That Plaid didn't give up anything on that 720s at speed, which is *insane*
And it hasn't even unlocked it's 200mph top speed too. (Limited to 163)
I was shocked it did so well after 100. Off the line its a no brainier. You have to know that the McLaren would lose the first few hundred feet no doubts. Hp doesn't work out the same in electric cars. When they say 1000 it's a really distorted number. Sae horse power is a metric designed for engines. even then its kinda a marketing wank. The real insights come in the torque vs wheel RPM not converting torque into a number divided by RPM. This is where the distorted numbers on high revving engines vs low revving high torque engines come in. If you think about it, even the engine rpms don't matter if you keep the gearing in the power curve. In a engine this is really hard to do. The Tesla doesn't need to mess around with gear ratios because it can almost directly translate motor RPM to the drive shaft. Gearing very close to the peak power band is nearly impossible down low if you want a car that also has a high top speed. For that McLaren to be at peak torque the turbos need to be at nominal boost no matter how much launch control tries to get that, it will what's struggle to keep it there.
innovation and improvements is what makes Tesla so great.
@@notsam498 nice
@@notsam498 But 1000 Torque is no wank number, shaft of the motor connected directly on the wheel driveshaft, no tranny to lose power.
These new Tesla motors will do 20,000 rpms, three phase motor so there is zero loss it power verses a two phase or single phase motor.
I work on industrial sites. 600v and 30 amps, you should see how fast a 10 ft round impeller fan built out of 1/4" steel starts and gets to full speed. Almost instantly.
There's a reason a train engine doesn't use the straight 16 turbo diesel engine to drive the train, only to run a massive alternator providing 600v to the massive electric traction motors... torque!

I have a Tesla and the acceleration without the sounds is simply amazing. Your mind is trying to process the increasing speed but with no sound to go with it and it's freaky.
Agreed. I have a P90D with ludicrous. I can't fathom the Plaid.
Tesla with 4 guys still out braked that Mclaren, that is REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
It really isn't. It's expected since those carbon ceramics rotors and pads on the McLaren were cold. The Tesla plaid is known to have poor braking. If the McLaren had all metal rotors and matching pads, or if those carbon ceramics were warm,, it wouldn't have been a problem. Carbon ceramic brakes cost 10X the equivalent steel (easy) for a reason. That Tesla is reported to stop from 60 mph, using some 11 extra feet, compared with that 720. That difference should get MUCH larger from 150 mph. Just a very small number of stops like that, and you sharply lose braking efficacy in the Tesla due to its extremely large mass (for a car). The McLaren on the otherhand, should progressively begin to stop more responsively and sharply, and will likely stay that way.

@@chisquare5701 don't forget the regenerative braking of the electric motors.
@@1uzfe I had to google this gibberish. Are you suggesting I'm sour for the results in the video? That's fine, idc too much. I'm just generslly a fan of motorsports.
@@toddsimone7182 that's a good point. I wonder how much braking it is responsible for under these hard stopping circumstances. I doubt it's alot, because it would need to have tremendous heat capacity and still function as an electrical device. Normal brake already have high heat capacity, and are yet overwhelmed all the time at the track (hence the carbon ceramic upgrade.) Also, it seems Tesla even offers carbon ceramic upgrade (~20K usd). I think they know their Plaid is bad at stopping repeatedly. It's just so heavy. I recommend Throttle House's review of the Plaid.
The Tesla Plaid is like the T'Challa line from Civil War. "HI, we haven't met yet. I'm Clint".
Plaid. "I don't care".
Underrated comment
🤣🤣🤣
I was initially thinking 720S because of the power-to-weight, but then I realized that the McLaren only makes that power in a very specific rpm band while the Tesla holds that power the entire way. So while the Tesla was pulling at 1000 hp, the McLaren was pulling with an average of about 900 hp with moments of 1000.
Also the power is only part of it. The Tesla holds over 1000 ft-lb of torque from the moment he puts the foot down to the moment he lets off. The horsepower probably started low and built to 1000 before eventually ebbing off on the top end a tad. The torque line is usually steady across the entire RPM range of the EV motors.
The extra grip of awd vs rwd could be a factor too.
It's more to do with the Tesla being AWD. Even more so to do with the Tesla's 1000HP is at the wheels. The Mclaren's 1000HP is at the crank, so more like 750HP at the wheels. AND let's not forget, the Tesla has to warm the battery up to make that 1000HP which can take several mins, sometimes over 10 if it's cold outside.
@@hrthrhs I'm pretty sure the 720 is a 1000 wheel
Exactly. The Plaid already makes peak power at 60 mph, and keeps it around a 1000 hp until about 200 mph. That means it has close to peak power for 70% of its rev range. And for the first 30% it maintains peak torque until it hits peak power. When the torque starts to drop the power is maintained, resulting in a power graph that an ICE can never match.
… and no lost ms for switching gears
Bonus race should have involved corners. That's the true test for a cars overall performance. But I'm from Colorado, where we did some real racing in the canyons back in the day, and most of my spirited driving is on the winding roads nowadays as well. Personally, I find it much more exhilarating than just doing pulls. I wouldn't want to try and throw almost 5,000 lbs through the corners. And it's hard to beat the sound and soul of an ICE powered car. But maybe that's just me?
If you want sound go get a woofer. If you want soul go to church. But if you want a super fast car go get a Tesla. 😄
That's some insane from-the-factory performance.
As much as I wanted the 720s to win I knew the plaid would mop just wait for the Tesla roadster that will be the real gas supercar killer
Tesla Roadster v. Rimac Nevera is going to be the real race.
The Race of the Century The Roadster Vs The Rimac 🤯🤯 Can't wait for the plaid to be unlocked tho wanna see the full power of the beast of a car silent but deadly.
To be fair the Mclaren isn't a family car. 🤣
That's funny!
I know hard-core car guys can never seem to give praise to electric cars and always will try to find an excuse to downplay it
Also costs 4x as much. And pretty sure you can’t play Mario kart on the display ;)
The tesla is SIMPLY AWESOME, absolutely daunting in performance and speed
Can we talk about the brakes on that Tesla? Just as impressive as the win!
That's mostly regen braking, the 3 motors are working in reverse. Let's those brake pads last a lot longer.
Bruh, the Mclaren brakes tho.
@@JoshPoseyTech That is incorrect. Regen works great for a gentle slow from highway speeds, but from 160 mph, they're definitely all over the hydraulic brakes.
@@JoshPoseyTech Nothing to do with regen braking. Hope you're not trying to say that the tesla stops better than the mclaren, obviously the Mclaren guy braked much later. A single brake is dictated by grip at the tires, once you get to the limit of grip at the tires, more braking power doesn't do nothing. Mclaren has much better braking power, and 100% stops better.
@@weed46 regen braking works at all times when the brake is applied unless otherwise turned off. It is most efficient and makes the most since to be used at higher speed braking, it allows for more kinetic energy to be transferred into electricity. Tesla does have extended features that allow you to use a one pedal drive for example, but the regen braking is a significant part of the braking system on these Tesla’s. I have a high performance electric scooter with hydraulic brakes and regen braking. The regen braking works from higher speed braking, but not at lower speed.
This is crazy. Can’t believe the Plaid gapped the 720s like that even with an extra 1700+ pounds of weight lol
1020 continuous hp, vs 1000 peak.
@@harsimranbansal5355 and torque
I honestly didn't think the tesla had a chance I was soo wrong Wow that thing is fasr
@@harsimranbansal5355 this car doesnt have 1020 hp lol
@@christianpearson7108 You think it has even more? I don't think so. We are just used to petrol engine power figures which are peak power. While accelerating the engine will produce less than the rated power for a substantial part of the time. In other words: The Plaid will be able to put more energy into accelerating the car than a petrol car with 1020hp would in the same drag race.
I just got a ride in a S Plaid and it is by far the fasted off the line car I have ever been in. He it is fastest thing I have ever been in. Owner told me to put my head back before he flipped the switch and I am so glad he did.
FACTORY Plaid vs a modded McLaren.... far out man. And even with 3 beefy passengers, the 'electric shopping trolley' stayed with the McLaren. This is amazing... and we are just beginning the Sport EV life cycle. I mean, I LOVE the sounds of ICE... but if you can buy the Plaid off the shelf and still be a practical daily driver (the McLaren is NOT a daily driver), that's unbelievable.
The era of the ICE is long gone. Tesla Plaid will never be beaten by an ICE production vehicle. As someone who has pushed hard for EV tech for over a decade, nothing makes me happier than watching these ICE cars getting smoked by an EV. Thanks for the upload, btw!
The era of ICE will be over when people start setting new cannonball records in a Tesla
@@wirebrush that’ll definitely happen this decade. We’re only about 5ish years away from 5 min charges. We’re basically at 15 min charge rn. The silicon content in the anode of the battery needs to be about 30%. Right now it’s 0%. Teslas 4680 cells will have 5% silicon and increase every year up to 30% by 2026ish. For reference the model 3 came out about 4.5 years ago.
@@harsimranbansal5355
You're dreaming
@@wirebrush If you think he's wrong, you might want to read about Tesla's tab-less batteries. This tech gives 6x the power of current tech. It reduces charge time by 16%. He's not wrong, and he's not dreaming. This is now.
That was a really interesting race honestly. MCL driver was a really good sport about it!
On the last roll run. It was kind of uneven.. The McLaren hammered it almost a car length ahead of the tesla. And tesla still won by a nose. With all that extra weight.. wow
The Tesla lost the last race, try to freeze it on the line I did and the Tesla lost by about 18 inches which considering the advantage the 720s had in terms of weight etc was still amazing by the Plaid.
It was meant to be uneven they wanted the race to be very close
what you mean kind of uneven? They said they giving the McLaren a car and the Hit.. THAT'S what that means.. Lol
@@zoyaspencer8025 Idc man. That 720s almost got trashed bro. So close to dead car.
The Tesla Model S was already at max speed of 163 mph and can't go past that right now because the software is holding it back. That is the only reason why that last race is so close because the Tesla Model S already hit 163 mph way before the finish line.
I wanted to see the brake test comparisons.
and just think, this (the plaid) is only a "normal" road car. I'm wondering what the new Roadster version will show lol. Also in regards to the end of an era comment going from petrol to electric. Shouldn't that be more like full circle instead? I think first cars were electric, seem to remember hearing that somewhere. It has just taken this long to get energy storage up to the point it is a viable option now.
In 1898, Ferdinand Porsche designed the Egger-Lohner C.2 Phaeton. The vehicle was powered by an octagonal electric motor, and with three to five PS it reached a top speed of 25 km/h. In 1899, Porsche joined the carriage maker in Vienna, k.u.k. Hofwagenfabrik Ludwig Lohner & Co.
As per internet states, so it has made a circle in some way
It's mechanical vs electric 😂🤣 it's basic math. Nobody with more than 2 brain cells would think something mechanical could move at the speed of light , I don't get why so many people are impressed by Teslas 🤷
Fun fact: the first speeding ticket ever given in america was to an electric car is the 1890s doing 12mph on a 8mph zone. The cop stopped them on a bike.
@@charlierose1708 drive a Tesla and you'll see why so many people are impressed by Teslas..
@@dominicthomas97 we don’t want to pay lipo batteries for $10,000+ in 5 years.
Tesla is making absolutely insane cars. Watching the races and seeing just how fast it pulled the mclaren in.. unbelievable. It feels like watching kens episode with the hoonicorn.
I gotta have one now.
And the sportster isn't even out yet.
"Kudos to you man, you didn't even do anything but buy a car" - that sums it up perfectly.
The other guy bought a car and some other guys worked out it. its the same thing. people trying to take away from tesla. its the future and i love it. Got a plaid on order and i own plenty of ICE engines. i love them all but eletric all the way now
Yeah, you'd get much more satisfaction if you built the car yourself, not really much glory in just buying something
They don't even start at the same time 🥺
