Even had one for a driver for a week. Other than the GT2/3 seats, I wasn’t complaining too much. I basically have to fold myself in half to get in and out but the driving experience makes that worth it. Such a leap forward from the C6/7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is especially noteworthy when you drive the car hard. You can beat it senseless and it just takes it. No crazy overheating or anything. Yes, in a street trim setting the base car pushes pretty bad. Better tires and alignment cure about 90-95% of that though, in my experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that was at least one time quite limited. Dragtimes has done plenty of runs. Back to back to back to back on the plaid. It just doesn’t fall off that much with each run. Last time I was at a drag strip and watch some big motor cars run they weren’t doing back to back runs. They had lengthy times between runs, cool down times, ice down times, and wrenching times under tents with big fans running. They weren’t out running the 1/4 and driving right back up to the start snd getting back in line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. See meaning if aspirate. Been out of drag racing for a bit. Is there a NA class Tesla’s get to run in ? If so, what’s there reasoning if so.

Gold Member BOHICA 2,338 Posted October 21 Gold Member Share Posted October 21 Drag times ran the plaid over 40 1/4 mile runs in 1 day. 2 percent battery per run. 41st run with 20 percent state of charge was still under 10 second 1/4 mile time. How many 9 seconds cars could do that with out filling up in 1 day at the track? https://www.teslaoracle.com/2021/08/28/heres-how-fast-the-model-s-plaid-is-after-40-quarter-mile-runs-and-at-a-20-state-of-charge/ 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ones you can drive to the track, run all day then drive it home. Good to see Tesla had resolved that as I believe it was an issue at one time. I really don't pay much attention to the Tesla or any electric car/truck as they do not interest me....yet. Edited October 21 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It can run all day at the local drag strip and fill up on a welding outlet while you sleep. No need to go to the race fuel store in a Tesla and get drums of race gas or quarts or Royal Purple to run low 9’s in a 1/4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or are you trying to imply that recharging an electric car is faster than filling a car with gas? Edited October 21 by ACE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nope no special fill times needed to do 40 runs down my local 1/4 mile strip in a Tesla plaid if I had one. It would fill up when it was sitting in my garage when I don’t need to drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you retarded? Who takes low or empty on fuel 9.2 second car to the drag strip? Drag strip is like 7 miles from my house and it would be pretty much full of electricity when I get there.

I just read though these posts and he had me chuckling We are looking a a tesla on Friday. My wife is in the market for a new car and wants something different. I owned a Volt outside of it being to small and the run time being about 30 miles it was a cool car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drag strip is like 7 miles from my house and it would be pretty much full of electricity when I get there. Why don't you answer his question? My guess is it takes 5 minutes to fill a tank with gas. How ling does it take to recharge a Tesla battery? I'll answer for you t takes ~27 minutes to charge a Tesla Model S Plaid from 20% to 80% state-of-charge at a V3 Supercharger (250 kW), or ~29 minutes when starting at 10%. Tesla says that 15 minutes should be enough to replenish up to 187 miles (301 km) of range, but only when starting at a low state-of-charge Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be in the my garage plugged into a welding 240 volt outlet. I would be, drinking beer, eating dinner I just cooked, taking a shit on my toilet, pouring the coals to the wife, sleeping in my bed or a host of others things I need to do at the house when I’m home. No special trips or special wait times or trips to fill it for all day drag strip duty. Edited October 21 by BOHICA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
