Tesla Model S Plaid - top speed ACHIEVED! 

You kept pretty cool on the lap with Misha, many people dont do that.💪

The drag coefficient doesn't change with speed. The air resistance / force would indeed quadruple if the speed doubles.

Wow. Well done. The car is planted and stable at that speed.

it looks like it could have pushed over 350kph no problem. It was still accelerating pretty hard at the top end.

Enjoyed watching your lap with Misha!

The engineers at Engine X built a module that bypasses the software governor and allowed their Model S Plaid to reach speeds of 216 mph. ref: Electrek June 30 2022. Would love to see your car try it again.

Of course, safety is paramount when trying to do this! But owning this beast, you have to do it once or twice. The biggest takeaway is that just because the car can do it, that doesn't me you can actually do it due to laws, road conditions, weather and other traffic. Easier said that done! Don't try this at home!

328km/h *still electronically limited, but AWESOME,, hope to see what's the actual top speed if they rid of the limiter,,, until it hit the real motor's rmp limit,, 😁

Félicitations ! Je pense que c'est la première Plaid a dépassé les 300 sur route publique... une première mondiale 👏

Nice drives Steven. It brings back memories… I’ll finally receive my own Model S in Brugge in a few days. For me it’s not about speed anymore but fun and safety… It wii be our travel-machine: Airplane, train and coach at the same time, and… with our 2 bikes on the hitch!

I am an enthusiastic Tesla driver myself who likes to enjoy the possibilities on German highways. But based on my experience, I strongly advise against high-speed experiments, even with traffic like on the video: Germans love to drive in the left lane on the autobahn (they probably all think they're fast), and many switch to the left lane without looking in the rearview mirror. It can become dangerous in a fraction of a second! I would only do this if I was practically alone on the road.

Cool, man. Keep up!

Great stuff!

Thanks for sharing Steven. Good to know that you can hit top speed in any mode. In track mode the suspension is so uncomfortable on the autobahn that my wife wakes up. 😂

Great Steven! World record. Something completely different: does the new Plaid still have the 1885 cells in the battery like your previous p100d?

Super!

How much is the track package as you got the ceramic breaks only? Thanks

328 km/h on the speedometer but what did Draggy measure? What is the top speed according to GPS? Also, 0-300 time?

Hey I’ve charged at that supercharger before:)

the 35x or even 36x km/h were with a software hack to switch off all software limitations…

Look at the distance to the cars coming into view over the hill at 2:44

Finally 300 km😀

Hopefull it keeps the vmax for a while. In the past drive units have capped the power after a added amount of time pushing it at high speeds. Hopefully this changed in comparison to older MSP..

Awesome! How was the range when driving at speeds of 180-250kmh?

Isn't your tire pressure a bit low? I keep my Model 3 at around 2.9 bar.

you think a plaid+ will happen? I thought they completely scratched it. Probably the roadster will do more

It hit 328 a bit too hard to just stop accelerating. Could it be they've just raised the limiter to that speed instead of completely getting rid of it?

2:48, that looks dangerous. Snake or plastic on the road, at 320kmh😮

Poor snake at 2:47

I think you could see something over 328, but it’s probably limited because the car only has one gear, so, you’re limited to by how fast the motors car spin. The motors are already carbon sleeved to keep the cooling down. If they can get the cooling better figured out, it can go faster, but, who needs to go 203 anyway? That’s not exactly slow.

you should let us know the 0 to 300 km/h GPS speed

You mispelled "Road Drunk".

❤

You played Assetto Corsa then chose the name of a lobby called Runner, but added Road, it was you I saw.

TGV

Please retrieve the consumption figures too

It gets to 328 so easily it seems, definitely it could go faster if it wasn't limited.

Tesla is nice but can only maintain 300 for a few mins. before the motors overheat. An ICE car, like Porsche 911 turbo can hold 300 till the gas tank is empty.

Much to dangerous on a public road. Drive like that on the Ring but not on the Autobahn.

alle ge zijt wereldberoemd the eletric vicking zegt da ge zot zijt :p

At 4:26 (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_rzGb26wBoA.html) you are running a speed limit of 120 kph with a speed of ~ 279 kph. That is (subtracting tolerances) ~ 150 kph above the speed limit. If you would have gotten caught that would be 700 EUR in fines plus a 3 month suspension of your driver's license! This is absolutely reckless behaviour and nothing to be proud of.

Steven, I love your regular videos and your awesome work regarding Autopilot in Europe. But I really feel that you shouldn't have done a high speed run on public roads. It's dangerous enough on the 3-lane stretches, but going 300+ on a 2-lane section is just reckless. Nobody, even on a German Autobahn, has to expect somebody approaching from behind THAT fast! You cover so much distance in one second, maybe they even looked in the mirror and you were somewhere on the horizon. So they start to change lanes and bam! §1 of German road traffic regulations states: (1) Participation in road traffic requires constant caution and mutual (!) consideration. (2) Anyone who takes part in traffic must behave in such a way that no one else is harmed, endangered (!) or hindered or bothered more than is unavoidable under the circumstances So I'm gladly being the party pooper here, but the Autobahn is neither a race track nor a test track.

Pretty impressive but frankly that should be illegal or the power should be limited, it's just way too powerful for public roads....

well what that has saved in co2. Tesla drivers are such woke and green people ;-)

Totally irresponsible - I hope that German authorities ban you and similar drivers. If you want to race then go to a race track.

Tesla… very ugly car design
