How Much Faster Is a Tesla Model 3 Without A Body? RESULTS ARE SHOCKING! 

I don't know about everyone else, but I would love a wrecked Tesla. I've wanted a Tesla, but I don't think I'll ever will be able to afford one. The model X is my dream car, but any of them would make my day for sure.

wood stove/pizza oven in the camper 👍

@@jmyd83 ??

If your camera is a Sony look at turning "product showcase"off - its designed for vloggers sitting in front of camera and "showing" things to the camera but when you're behind the camera it just moves to fast for this sort of work. Great feature, just not for us.

So you cut the body of Tesla 3 to see how faster it is, then latter you will add another body to it to make it slower again.. ok let's go..

I almost got away from my cardio without needing my inhaler, Jason, now I'm coughing from laughing too hard XD

ROFL

so your saying he could lower it and shave another tenth or so?

Mechanics HATE HIM!! See page 13 to find out why…

Classic Jason, pure Class 4 days!

Please do

Underrated comment😂

Tesla doesn’t have dealers

they'll say within tolerance

@@nukedpancakes3_863yes they do?

I was shocked that it wasn’t a problem

I’m respecting Teslas more and more as this build goes on They’re surprisingly workable

​@@benjiman7259 teslas get a shit ton of hate just because they are EVs.

@@Nick-hm9rh na was a fan of tesla before. after purchasing i cannot recommend it anymore. way too many defects. service is non existent and overall i should have sticked with a more reliable brand. there's a report from consumer reports which confirmes my anectodical story

"The best part is no part" is apparently not just a SpaceX mindset.

haha thats so cool!! You got to see a little B is for Build live :p

​@@BisforBuild try self-driving on it plz 🙏

@@cabesita99 Wouldnt work. He removed all the sensors and cameras the self driving needs to work

Lol I'm sure they will re mount them on the new body and have a self driving one of one of what ever this is gonna be!... If that wasn't the plan I hope it is now

Ghehehe cool

Expect Leroy and actually go faster and doest have a limit

E-roy

@@nemesiomartin1135 😂

C/D says 3.1s with 0.3s rollout so that makes about 6 tenth difference

what kind of camera & lens it is? anyone?

@bisforbuild Once I say the autofocus I could not stop seeing it. Maybe you have to stop pointing and use arrows in editing?

...or just use manual focus with 1 push AF so that it stays where you want.

How about changing the wheel and tire size?

thanks for the tips! it really helped! Now if only i could figure out the audio issues. Switching from canon to sony has been rough

Some might recommend a Dr. for this comment...I say hell yeah brother!

The more ridiculous the better

​@Fred Stewart yes very much

What's next? A body swap? That would be insanity.

@@jwalster9412 maybe a mustang body 😂

@@geoffrey6000 that would be sacrilege!

Super sick! Hopefully this allows you to do body swaps on different cars!!

thanks for all the vids you make chris your content is awesome.

Yup, 360p here. EDIT: Now it's fine.

@@noobel9238 that’s the whole purpose of doing this. lol

This is why I upload videos as "private" and then change it to public after processing is finished so HD is available upon release.

This. The SoC looked like 30% or less in the first run, and that will give you drastically slower times. Still, taking the stock 3.1 (with 1 ft roll-out) down to 2.8 without a roll-out is a nice improvement.

@@misaacson also not entirely sure the measuring speed from the dash is super accurate. but at least it's consistent in both measurements. because if different charge, there is no strict reference point but it's still clearly way quicker than any stock M3P without weight reduction

💯 as a M3P owner they are all pretty spot on for accel times. State of charge needs to be 80% or higher for those times.

@@geemy9675 Tesla has very accurate speedometers but you're right, they did this entire thing pretty casually.

That must be exactly what it's for. The module seems to run at the NFC frequency (for the card) and also at Wi-Fi frequencies? You can find that information in the Model 3's owner manual (I looked at the online one) under Certification Conformity.

I was thinking AMC Pacer or Gremlin.

You just wait to see what they are doing 😂😂

I’m guessing he’s going to put a delorean body on it

​@@isaactrockman4417 just make sure not to make it look like any movie cars lol

@@isaactrockman4417 Delorean actually would kind of make sense

That's only really true at low temperatures. The Model 3 in NCA and LFP chemistry is about equally fast down to 30% SoC as long as it's not freezing outside, then performance is impacted. For LFP it can get really bad.

@@tomsixsix What is NCA and LFP chemistry and do you know when it went into production? I have a 22 M3P and I swear I can feel a difference below about 60-65% SOC. Not sure which battery chemistry mine has, it was ordered in Feb '22 and delivered May 24, '22.

@@mholmes9262 If your car was made in the USA it has an NCA battery. If it is European/China in origin and is standard range it is LFP.

427 Cobra replica body??

I really want to see that, that sounds like a project car for me one day. A rebuilt title M3P is around 15 - 20k I wanna say ? Would be worth fr

Why is this 🤔

That´s how it was in the old days, when RU-vid still had the slogan "Broadcast yourself", when the word "RU-vidr" didn´t even exist :P This is just an old video from the future. The Tesla was so quick he unintentionally invented time travel

the pixels are a badge of honour!

@@PSwayBeats RU-vid is still processing the video so the max resolution for now is 360p until the processing is done and higher res is available. Should take 10-15 minutes :)

@@jostv.2726 makes perfect sense. Embarrassed I didn't think of that

putting back the hood and front bumper would help with the drag without too much weight penalty Also lower frontal area might balance out the drag coefficient, and anyway top speed could also be not horsepower limited in which case it could get to the same top speed, just a bit quicker or slower depending on the drag

@@geemy9675 Going to need a full helmet or going to do a Jeremy Clarkson with the wind 😅

Yeah, I was thinking "how does your carpool group feel about the new mods"?

Though the base design is quite universal, there's a lot to consider and act accordingly, like exact length, exact width, wheels, dash and fuel tank positions on the three axis, really much easier said than done as you said. Body swapping unibody vehicles is something I'll gladly leave to whoever has the knowledge to do it lol. Not any professional can do that.

as long as you don't yearn for boat content 😂

@@HighPr00f funny enough I had forgotten about the boat till it was mentioned at the end. I had been waiting for the truck to get used.

Nah thats extra weight

@@simonh2734 the amount of weight a battery adds to a car whenever it is charged v uncharged is very small. it would make no difference

@@holiday4404 its a joke

In my whiteytighties and shaved hairless to save weight

Maybe if he could find a wrecked one, but it's a 130-150,000 dollar car. Also on a prepped track the plaid launches to 60 mph at just under 2 seconds at 1.98, I doubt there would be any improvement, the body is ultra lightweight already because the Plaid is a much more high performance oriented vehicle. With a potential for a 200 mph top speed after a software update, the launch max speed was 160, if you spoil the aero I think the car will just be made worse in every way I don't think it has the bulky extra weight the model 3 has. And with 1,000 hp it's not noticing the weight as much as the model 3, and having less weight may just mean less grip for all that power. At certain points in the launch it is pulling more than 1g which seems almost impossible so the room for improvement is absolutely razor thin. And if you added a roll cage it would probably weigh more than the removed parts.

Well he might go back in time, got to be careful

Makes sense. All aluminum.

What makes you think its a countach?

Yeah he bought a Delorean for body swap months ago

He loves cutting bodies off cars without bracing them first. I'm sure that thing is a prezel

The floor is almost entirely battery and that section is super reinforced from factory

reinforced to protect the battery aginst getting punctured from the bottom if you hit something or protected from the sides in case of an accident. there is no way the chassis hasn't lost 80% of it's rigidity. the roof and the pillars are also super reinforced to provide the best protectio' against rollover despite the glass roof so it all contributes to the rigidity, with half the unibody gone it has to be flexy like a car from the 1950's...Tesla is much too concerned about weight to make a skateboard that stays rigid without the roof

Sport Compact Car did it with a Sentra, too

with AWD and heaviest component being the battery and located between the wheels, weight distribution shouldn't be too bad

@@geemy9675 It's not the distribution of the weight but the amount of it. Remember that as the suspension loads and unloads camber increases and decreases. so removing 25% of the weight will have the tires rolled under slightly so your really only gripping with the outer portion of the tread.

I guarantee you that's what the boosted boiz are gonna do with their salvage plaid!

Maybe he still has the DeLorean

Is there an app for that? Input your wheelbase and track width and get a match for ez body swaps?

@@kevinsellsit5584 If you wanna count Oscar as an app, then yes.

@@david929190 Yup, I'm pretty sure when he originally bought the Delorean that he said his plan was to Tesla swap it.

Should go further?

Good Idea, in theory it would go further but if it was me driving id be launching it at every set of lights to feel the 3.8seconds 0-60

not as much as aerodynamic efficency. Not even close actually.

@@mitchelldzodz8708 2.8 you mean?

@@TheXshot Yes your right i mean 2.8 lol

because theys do :)

I’m sure he had no idea.

nah

I'm surprised you can tell the rigidity from of the video of the car going straight on a flat road

Yes i would love to see what those motors can really do
