Tesla Model 3 Performance Nürburgring POV | The Best and The Worst 

I think it will be a great idea. Greetings Ben

The acceleration is awesome, but the suspension seems awfully soft and wobbly, and the brakes got cooked after a few bends, so one would have to upgrade those. Also, the tyres didn't sound like they were happy.

@@DanijelTurina973 that's the purpose of the build!

@@DanijelTurina973 He covered all that in the video..

Edge of my seat with this lap Misha. Isn't that how Rimac started or was his BMW just for straight dragging?

Tozzasque 😂😂

exactly what i thought 😆

hahaha, i agree

HAHA 😂😂

The Porsche goes "brrrrrrrrr" and the Tesla behind won't fall back like "what's all that noise about?" XD

150 is not even fast its highway speed

@@ijv5567 150 is highway speed

Its not. 130 is highway speed. The thing here in germany is that most ppl with stronger cars coast on 150kmh om the autobahn when theres no limit

@@roxxor3 130 is more like suggested speed you can safely drive 160 on most roads and you wont lose your license unless you go above 200 or something so theres nothing to worry about

@@ijv5567 highway speed = suggested speed in germany. There is no official limit here. You wont lose your license at 200kmh as you wont when you speed to 300kmh.

Same here! I was subconsciously thinking I was hearing the natural engine sounds, then OH can't be the Tesla, then I'm thinking I'm at least hearing motor hum from it, and silly me, finally realize the car is so silent you're hearing everyone else's engines.

@@jamesengland7461 all the others have a voice. EV owner, but they all sound like spin cycle on washing machine or tinnitus

Actually more like unable to CATCH the Mini. Kind of like the video of the M2 having to slow down in the corners because these EVs handle like drunk pregnant cows in the curves. And the Tesla never lost the M2.

@@billcichoke2534 seriously? It's just a Mini. It ain't all that. That Tesla has a much lower cg and better weight distribution than most sports cars, and isn't that heavy. It does have narrow tires, yet still basically identical handling performance to an M3. But we were talking about the sound anyway, so I'm glad you offered your noise to the conversation...NOT.

@@jamesengland7461 Really? A car designed by code jerks who played GTA, handles as well as one designed by MECHANICAL engineers who actually know how to drive? Say you're joking...PLEASE. Even Misha AND THR OWNER talk about how crap the steering and brakes are.

I mean yeah, some OTA updates have actually improved the power of the cars

And more ram too 😂

yes, and it will ignite spontaneously in you garage and burn a house down

Had to just put the horse in the backseat.

You can literally buy qn boost for the Long Range Version which improves peak power for $2000

Cf rafaele

Right... Wishful thinking... It doesn't have the aero to keep up with the leading cars on that track (GT2RS, SVJ Aventador etc), so let's hope at least that it can finish a lap under full load at least. It will be the first production Tesla to do so.

@@IvoRadev we cant say anything because it hasnt even come out yet. now once it hits the nurburgring, then we can all discuss.

@@new-yj4pm We can't? That'll be something new... Tesla fanatics loooove to say ridiculous things about non existing stuff, especially the roadster.... 0-60 mph in 1 second, 450kph top speed, makes coffee and pancakes while waiting at the traffic light... It would be a first if the fanatics actually read what Tesla dares to claim and it would be a miracle if they don't spread their ignorance at all. The OP tells how that roadster will beat all the other cars on the Ring and when I point out that it is absolutely impossible to do so with the top cars in the list, because it doesn't have the aero, you tell me we can't say anything yet? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes, we can. Given the looks of the car, it can't "beat all the others" even if it has plasma thrusters and can actually fly in space.

@@IvoRadev Of course the Tesla Roadster will not beat an F1 car, but with an 8sec 1/4 mile, it should beat the record for production car by a margin.

Thant means alot coming from you Bjorn!

Me and you take your car down there yes?

@@aussie2uGA hmm

@Bjorn Nyland - cant wait to see TaycanBjorn take a go at the Ring

When are you test driving Taycan Turbo S ????

Then he should up his driving, cause the M3P is quite slower than even the 2007 GT3, not to mention RS ...

@@IvoRadev It's like people lose all car knowledge when seeing a Tesla, it's on it's limits screeching on every corner. It's weight is horrendous

Not sure if we watched the same video, but that blue Porsche pulled away from the M3P and was gone.

@@ganymede3141 Teslafanboys turn blind sometimes.

@@hasangenc2922 Sometimes? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm also thinking who will have 100hp Prius in Nurburgring right 🤣

@@aryanbanerjee1636 People that are poor just like me! Hold up I don't even have a car and a driving license...

Don't ask me why I get a perverse pleasure out of passing a Prius... 🤣👍

Good for scouting the track, everybody has to start slowly

looks fun

That's the beauty of it, if you want a do it all car it's one of the best. A BMW M3 is annoying as a daily due to the excessive noise and harsh ride.

The acceleration is like releasing a catapult.

now you dont seat in tesla anymore on track)

It's interesting that Brembo would provide such a soft compound pad but maybe they anticipated more infrequent use.

Awesome

@@aussie2uGA Yes, the track pack includes other pads, lighter rims and Cup 2 tires. Everyone of course can buy 3rd Party rims that are even lighter and change the pads. I spoke with a fellow few days ago. He didn't go with the official track pack, he got 3rd party rims, quite lighter than these in the pack, better pads and he changed the suspension. I'm not sure if it's on Cup 2 tires though,but it drives quite better on track according to his times.

@@aussie2uGA Soft brake rotor compound = more friction. More friction = more grip

@@IvoRadev Only problem if you change the suspension and brakes for example here in sweden, its not roadlegal anymore.

he was just blocking.........

Secret function nobody wants you to know about.

😂

I was thinking the same thing

Fahrt = drive

Dyin...

AceCustomz Thats why I don’t like ev’s

Thomas Hill just put music on😂

Now you can hear his sheer focus and his brain demanding for more oxigen to outperform a faster car 🙂

took me a minute to get the joke😂

@@tomhill2497 You can buy formula-E engine or radial axis engine, if you want sounds. Search both.

Saw some runs from Unplugged Performance modified Model 3s (suspension, roll bars, brakes & pads) in Willow Springs & those things are wicked!

@@andreipendle1778 I'll find them and watch. thx!

Ok so if I have a tesla and want to mod it Center console delete, go with a more flush to the floor one Race bucket seats Mod a momo steering wheel Half cage + race harness Stiffer suspensions Wider tires Better ventilated brake rotors Better break calipers (6 piston brembos?) Better break pads And finally Knards, sideskirt, and a wing

@@RENO_K Nice...

Probably because of no breaks, thus only regen which dumps tons of heat back in the battery pack. Perhaps with good breaks, no regen, the battery pack won't overheat.

Id put up with it as think of the fuel cost you would save going this fast

@@Will_M600 the battery will degrade relatively quickly, so the fuel savings are going there

@@Anankin12 ah i didnt consider that

@@Anankin12 wery quickly? Where did you get that info? As fas as I am avare these batteries will outlast petrol cars even on Nurburgring

@@sultanofswingdrift3021 On the fact that to extract the full performance the car tells you that doing so will deteriorate the battery quicker than normal. Also, battery+heat is always a big no-no.

I see what you did there

damn i used to watch you everyday

@@eun5oo280 hahah

@@eun5oo280 haha

@@eun5oo280 so

But got passed by a Volvo station wagon.

@@Ryantube007 And never did catch up with the white Beemer that passed as well. But a Volvo station wagon? That's humiliating especially considering how slow the wagon was going the whole time...

@@Ryantube007 Regardless of what he was doing, it was a STATION WAGON. The hot hatches and what not he had passed just after the wagon, didn't pass.

The Gt3 Rs is way faster bad driver makes it seem slow.

@@andreagiagnorio5775 Agreed. He should have disappeared by the 2nd curve.

@BTICronox its not a track car the gt3 was. people like you need to use your brain more

Plaid coming in hot

Yeah in 10 years or so 😂

And I still don't have 500k or however the fuck much they cost atm!

Hopefully with a solid state battery it can one day shed 500 pounds and have increased thermal endurance too.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on this car. A very good tire.

If it can keep up with a GT3 RS until the brakes wear out then it needs just better brakes. Better tires are always good though, imagine the same pilot 4s but 285 or whatever is on the Porsche instead of 235 like 2020 Priuses have!

MrAdoh2010 reality check - a Tesla model 3 performance is not remotely on the same level as a gt3rs on track...no matter what brakes.

Need another car 😂😂😂 not this battery with wells

@@jameshuegli3534 Actually it really would. A slightly moded 3 for the track should hold its own with a GT3 over one lap. But it could literally only do it for 1 lap where as the GT3 would just continually pump out the same lap for the next hour. Laguna Seca lap record for example a stock standard Tesla 3 performance is 1.5 seconds different to a GT3. The model S is significantly faster then the GT3. You up the brakes and suspension on the 3 and make a few tweaks they would be a match. But like I said only for 1 lap. After that the GT3 would be lapping the 3 while its battery cools or recharges

Passenger was very calm 💩💩🤫😉👀

Because they used to this. they have been racing with bunch of Cars... Now try bring people who only think Cars is a Iron cage that bring you to point A to B and the reaction would be different...

Well, the performance is designed for performance of driving

1845kg plus 2 people

And having a low voice, casual conversation at it ! 😳

@@dulcidy it wasn’t keeping up though 💀

That’s down the driver mostly

Still tesla sucks 😂

André Silva the people that say that are jealous or stupid or both.

@@seanz6586 No, they just aren't swayed by all the hype, and watch these videos with less bias. Also, not everyone who HAS the money to 'buy' one of these things (anything that has an End User Agreement attached to it, is NOT truly 'yours'), doesn't. That alone should tell you SOMETHING.

Idk where u live but the service is good in America

@@ryanzak6455 HUH?! I don't know if you've been keeping up with current events, but CRAP service support is right up there with horrid build quality as far as Tesla's biggest SHORTCOMINGS.

With brakes being dead :(

@@mgcharoudin Do you think you could have overtaken the GT3 with proper brakes/suspension/tires installed on the 3?

@@robcossin4690 without a doubt. Brakes alone. I was expanding the braking distances by 50% or more.

@@mgcharoudin I really hope you get to drive a Model 3 Performance modified for the track with proper Suspension and Brakes to do a real test. It makes complete sense that the Brakes on the car are garbage. You really never need them and in Emergency Situation they perform very well as long as they are not overheated which they are never in daily use. Would be cool if Tesla would offer an option in Germany but obv can be also modified individually

the GT3 was cruising lol. M3 battery was already yellow/orange...so battery was getting hot and power decreases by alot.

That’s just cause there near the track where every one races there Porsches

@@jensoncremasco3352 i'm still sure there's more porsche's there though, right???

TwoRoyBoys yea in Munich you say if u don’t want to get much attention you drive a Porsche

@@Alex16022000 that's so funny! in the us that's what you do if you *do* want attention. danke!

@@tworoyboys208 The Rhineland area has a lot of nice high-end cars, even the rental cars are well-specced Audi and BMW's for cheap lol. We had a $55,000 A5 for four days for $100.

It can keep with nothing. The gt3 rs was slow that's all. It can keep up with gt3 rs and it can't overtake a mini GP???

I can't read or understand German very well, but I legitimately giggled like a small child when I read that.

DOT 4 fluid? What’s in it as standard then?

@@jonnygti DOT3 is what is OEM

Mike Horwath I thought DOT 4 was standard in pretty much all cars now?

@@jonnygti Do you have any proof of such? I haven't seen anything stating that DOT4 is now default in any that aren't performance vehicles.

Yep, DOT4 is standard anywhere

Yeah, of course. GT3RS went easy and the Model 3 went more easy because he was driving with no breaks. But the Model 3 driver in the GT3RS? Hahaha! That GT3RS will be flying. Nobody will catch that thing lmao.

The porsche will go about a minute faster with a good driver

Not engine wise, but use the similar parts of a gt3 homologation car in the tesla and now we be talking about who is BETTER. Tires alone were holding back this car Since corner 1. I could go on

Tozzasque ok non-enthusiast

@@tomhill2497 sorry?

Nah, the Roadster won't do shit on the ring. Probably fast on straights, average on tracks.

While it is heavy compared to a light petrol car, do check weight of Polestar 2 and Taycan :p

well, it's just 150kg more than the Giulia Quadrifoglio It might be heavy, but not compared to the modern sedans around

@@dallatorretdu To top if off, most of the weight in the Tesla is in the floor. That should help a lot with handling.

Clout A low centre of gravity in a heavy car is not as good as simply a light car

It wasn’t even close 😂

True! But how many Model 3 performance can I buy for the price of a Rimac 2? How can you compare this complete different car concepts?

@@Bastelopa_wie_mein_Channelname that is absolutely not the point...

@@mitchellsteindler Your Point ended after True!

Yep. And Roaster 2? Model S Plaid? Exiting time ahead.. :-)

Pascal Abessolo nope

Actually, Tesla's are insane for drift

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yqf5SYYP_NE.html they really are!

Can't entirely blame it on the driver. A Model Y CUV with coilovers and better brakes placed quite well during a time attack race among lots of 911 GT3 and GT3RSes. And that is the CUV version. A Model 3 Performance with those basic upgrades is formidable on the track. cleantechnica.com/files/2020/07/2020.07-mountain-pass-performance-tesla-model-y-time-attack-OFFICIAL-track-times.png

@@flipadavis 2 seconds on that track is an eternity. It also plays into the differences, Tesla starts dying after a few minutes, the GT3 is designed to go all day... Plus, that still doesn't refute Dave's claim. Sascha is a great driver, highly experienced.

@@Jaredscott89 Put Sascha in a Camry and see if he can keep up with a GT3 RS. Or even something like a stock Mustang GT. You can't just wave away the Model 3 Performance abilities because a great driver was driving it. I see these comments every single time a Model 3 does well in a time attack. It's always "well uh, the driver makes a huge difference and those other cars the Model 3 passed were amateurs." You actually don't know that. In this instance yes Sacha is likely the better driver by far but you actually don't know that without knowing who the driver in that GT3 RS was.

@@flipadavis Is a Camry a performance car? Yeah, you can, 2 seconds is an eternity in racing.

@@flipadavis The Porsche GT3 RS comes with cup 2 tires that are are wider by 70mm lol. It also weight 1000lbs less don't be silly.

Gt3rs wasn't trying that's why it kept up

@@hyphed4196 oh yeah, wasn't trying...ofc a porsche fanboy will say that...

@@VNCTHE1 driver was shifting early, clearly he wasn't going hard, only a tesla fanboy wouldn't aknowledge that and then proceed to glorify his car to the end.

@@hyphed4196 in the video Misha himself said that with better brakes and suspensions it's legit as fast as the GT3 and beyond he probably knows better if he is going fast or not

@@dallatorretdu until Misha shows a video of him actually keeping up with a gt3rs going full whack I wouldnt take his word for it

Shame that model S is one of the best looking large sedans and model 3 is one of the worst looking hatchback things

@@DuBstep115 Well - i don't need the big Size of the S. I will miss the big Hatch, but i'm looking forward to the much more agile Handling, and easier Parking. ;) My Model S is for Sale - you can see it in my Channel... :P

I've got some vids with the car on slicks and better brakes. Coilovers will be next if you'd like to see

@@DeadpoolTesla I am waiting for a model 3 sized car but shaped more like Toyota GT86 or any other 2 seater sports car that doesn't cost same as Roadster. GT86 with tesla model 3 powerplant and price would be the best car in the world.
