You shouldve got yhe p100d
FaZeGoldKay 210 year that will be cool 😎
The reason why Tesla's can't go that fast is because the motor doesn't have more than one speed. The limit is actually the motor not being able to go any faster (like redlining an electric motor). The 155 mph limit is imposed to prevent damage to both the battery and the motor (usually when going down hill). Source: I work at Tesla
Thanks. I liked your explanation
Uhm, are you Romanian?
Thanks
155 limit is standard for most cars since a long time.
Alex Tacescu yourright
AC off, suspension very low, make sure battery is cool. In-between runs put the suspension on very high so there’s maximum venting capabilities from the battery pack. Then back to very low for the run. Also make sure range mode is off and have the highest charge possible.
The Car Fanatic 👍
The Car Fanatic also max battery power as well!
Martin Ladjimi yes that would help Performance model cars only though,
you are so right
The Car Fanatic I subscribed to your sick channel
In Germany we say: "Thats the normal speed on the Autobahn"
Du bist ein schwein...! ? Yes
K
In Germany we say: move from the left lane you f@cking Pissnelke
In Germany we don't say:"Don't go that fast" we say:"there's a reason for not having speedlimits, GO FASTER DU DACKEL"
Lol nazi speed
Next time:
- Start the run with 100% battery (bring with you a super external battery pack :) )
You’ll have a significant amount of extra power for few miles.
- And empty your car as much as possible (not extra passenger) you’ll accelerate quicker and thus probably gain extra hundreds feet to get to the 155mph.
Let me know if that helps ;)
Cheers
@2:30 as soon as he did the epic suit change I went back immediately to watch the 'obvious' cut only to be very pleasantly surprised at how well it was executed. Bravo!
Jordan Warren Alpha
Flawlessly executed!!

All germans are thinking: Why the heck is he wearing a helmet while driving at a speed that is normal?
How dann much Germans are here lol
I’m German and there’s a road that has no speed limit
@@scxr_pz But most of the audi, benz, bmw in Germany have speed capped to 155
🤣🤣🤣
@@scxr_pz i want to go to that road 🤣🤣🤣
'hm I only did 140mph on first try, let's put another full grown adult man in passenger seat and make my car heavier and give it a second try and hope i reach 155mph this time"
Lol
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Or maybe he realized that he wasn’t close in the first run, and a second run with less battery power that he wasn’t going to reach his goal anyway, so he decided to share the fun. Sounds plausible to me.
LMAO
Ikr 🤣
Tips for next time:
1. Fill up those tires with extra pressure (2 psi above the normal will do)
2. Be sure to arrive at the event with battery power above 85%
3. Kick any guy from the passenger's seat.
Agreed
4. Buy Model S P100D, or new Roadster.
9:43 you had a major power limit (the yellow dotted line). So the car definitely was not giving you full power for some reason. I don't know why though...
One of the Tesla service reps told me I need to be above 75% charged or I get throttled. I’m guessing that’s why.
WHAT'S INSIDE? FAMILY That makes sense.
Makes sense as with Lithium batterys the lower they get the less current they can output, thus you dont go as fast.
Sapphire Destiny Yeah...IF your limitation is the battery. Depending which Tesla you get, some of them are limited by the inverter not the battery.
But as you saw in the video his battery was around 50% so its probable the batterys just couldn't push out enough current. He would have to charge the car and then run it on the track to get max current and voltage output for max speed.
So the 155 mph/ 250 kph speed limit is due to the motor limitation. Tesla wanted you to get the maximum acceleration with a top speed that matches with the top speed of other cars( Audi,Bmw etc). A electric motor has a rpm limit, exceeding this limit and you will damage the motor or other parts. As you know EV have one gear because they don‘t need more than that (efficiency of the motor). Tesla put the gear ratio to match the top speed while being on the motor‘s healthy limit. That‘s why a Tesla accelerates that quickly but can‘t pull that fast to it‘s top speed.
In Formel E there are race cars with 1 gear but also some with 2 gears. The reason they got 2 gears is that they reach their maximum efficiency faster. But you don‘t need that in your everyday driver, do you?
Greetings from switzerland.
That also means that if Tesla changed the gear ratio to match 140 mph it would accelerate faster and that works the other way around. I don‘t know if the real top speed (matching the gear ratio) would be 160 mph and they limited the top speed by software to protect the motor.
good explanation and arguments.
He's also overheating that's why the power gauge with the dashed lines flashes up each time
it can be..I don´t know those dashed lines flases, because never saw them. ( and I don´t have drive a tesla anyway till now. )
Peter Reichert I do drive one and usually my dashes are on the regeneration side versus output, two reasons to get it on the top (output) without system failure are running out of charge, or overheating motor components or the battery.
Resons to get it on the bottom (regeneration) normally: overheating parts again, cold battery, full battery
Now we know why cops pull us over and say we’re “speeding”, they need new radar guns ASAP!
EdVentures no, they hardly stop people
EdVentures the radar guns are 99% accurate but speedometers in cars are rarely as accurate as radar guns
Abbe that’s correct, and tones of people have drove past radar cans without getting coughs so yeah
In Germany the car‘s speedometers actually have to indicate a slightly higher speed than the car‘s actual speed is. Is there a similar rule in America or in Other countrys?
LuMo Official Most likely because I’m from Sweden and here the speedometers show 86 km/h when going 80 km/h
Dan if you lived in a country which uses kilometers you would of been going over 260 km/h
155mph are 250kmh
In german it's legal to go faster
@@MS_Lux thankyou, i was to lazy to convert
Imagine if Tesla trolls its buyers for the Roadster and maxes it out at 155mph and their excuse is just "We said that it CAN go over 200mph, we never said that it would"
I wouldn’t be happy.
WHAT'S INSIDE? FAMILY r.i.p

Look at the grass
You should've used autopilot during the whole thing.
Now imagine That with the roadster
Dan you can call the Tesla and they come with a soaftware which is unlocks some horse power.
This is not an up in the air update they come and do this.

Bence Benyei
Tesla can‘t make your car go faster! Otherwise we would have videos on youtube of teslas going over 155mph/250kph. But that is not the case!
Dario Hunkeler he never said it will go faster after the update :) read again before commenting
Dario Hunkeler and still he hasnt said it will go faster ;)
And Tesla could make their cars faster since its softwarelocked.
Marcel Renke you are a hard nut to crack but i am going to explain it one last time;) If you and I had a conversation about my car and i told you only that my car isn‘t going fast enough. And you tell me that there is a updated that gives my car more hp, what am I thinking? I will think that you said that because I was not happy with my top speed, so you adressed that problem. And if you didn‘t mean to adress the top speed, you could have said „ you can get bread in the backery“. So he had to adress the top speed problem without mentioning it, if not his comment is not worth it! I hope you got this.
And yes the top speed is limited by software. But tesla could not unlock it for you because of battery overheating at that speed and possible damage to the motor because it is spinning too fast.
You forgot to press hidden E capicitor (NOS) button on the straight 😂
Alfonso Ross haha
Lol
Zhou Zay Its called a joke
How would nitrous be able to work in an electric car?
Nitrous gets injected into cylinders, something an electric car does not have.
_I know you are joking though!_
Alfonso Ross and your forgot to press your wrong
11:12 🤣 Love that dancing show
Weather, road and temperature and your tires and the experience the driver has a big role on how fast the car can actually go
2:28 that actually was awesome
The cops radar is so off, no wonder why cops pole us over allot even when we are going the speed limit.
Our speed: 136
Cop radar: 147
Thats 11MPH off
Hunter_Miku #BAKA™ first of all its 136 vs 137
And maybe the tesla speedometer is wrong
Not a police fanboy
It's how they make money from writing tickets.

Good luck toward the million subscribers!!! Good luck lads thanks for the vids and info!
At 6:05 you can see in the power meter a yellow dotted line and an exclamation point indicating a power limit caused by overheating of the drive train ( battery, motors) so that's why the acceleration after 130 mph was limited. It is also because it's an 100D and not a P100D w/ the performance motors. And last the top speed is limited to 155m mph because the motors have a single gear and at top speed they are spinning at max RPMs ~16k.
@Glenn Mucklow Yes that's true.
It's so funny to watch this as a german. Our average speed at the Autobahn is 200 km/h (125mp/h)
Ich kenne nur eine straße wo man schneller als 120 kmh fahren kann. Also wie kommst du auf 200 kmh durchschnitt?
Autobahn is unlimited and at Bundesstraßen it is at 120km/h
That's definitely not the average.
@@datfan1610 Not true. Autobahn is sometimes unlimited but usually there is too much traffic to go more than 120-160km/h. Bundesstraßen have 100km/h limit.
Fabian Hastenpflug ich glaube du verwechselst gerade Bundesstraßen und Landstraßen
2:30 thats good editing right there
Xizan HOW EVEN?!! Nothing in the background even changes
I love how u put a jerry rig theme music lmao
Love the car and everything awesome music!!!!
155mph is a pretty common 'limited' top speed of many European sports cars and luxury saloons. It's about 250km/h, which is plenty fast enough for actual driving as opposed to going as fast as possible for fun.
Also, it might be to limit the revs of the motor for durability.
Your videos have changed so much. Ive watched you guys for some time now. Just gets better and better
1. Maybe you press "No, I want my mommy" instead "Bring it On" 😁😁😁 only Tesla users will know...
2. You forgot to put your nitros in... (Duracell)
Keiichi soooo true lol
Buy the P100D version or maybe the model s p100D
Well, you might want to charge your Telsa a little more and give the batteries and motors time to cool off, that's why it was limiting your power. When you look back on the video, you can see the dotted line, that was the car not giving you full power output. It was limiting it. (6:06 Just one example.) Otherwise, you would have definitly hit 155 MPH.
Also to get a faster launch, Press and hold the brake, press the throttle once, it will give you a message, and press and hold both pedals at the same time. Then let go of the brake with the throttle fully depressed.
Nathan tesla has not launch control. Electric motors have 100% from 0 rpm so there's no need to press both pedals at same time.
DK Danis It's how you activate ludicrous acceleration
Oliverleo2007 ok
Oliverleo2007 It is not a Performance model
But the car had a higher top speed measured by police radar the second run! 147 vs I think it was 146. Probably because he went faster through the second curve. Ideally he would be cornering at max g through that corner then pedal down as he unwinds the wheel.
Others have pointed out that he should have had a higher charge and "low" suspension setting for best power and minimum drag. All of that done right, might have made the speed limiter at 155.
you should buy the roadster and race like this but only wish this happens in 2020
Buy*
Ebaad Chougule he already put 5000$ for the 2020 tesla roadster, i think its for the deposit or booking
He did put the down payment on the Roadster.
Khairy7 $50,000 not $5,000
mechawolf what’s the point, it’s a waste of money
I loved the weather in the video more than anything☺️☺️
Maybe the Tesla thought this is not the day I'm pushing my power for this race xD.. Great content though!
2:33. The what's inside Stig
Nvm Top Gear...
Abe Coulter its actually a f1 champion, but 😂😂
Quasimodem you have obviously not watched the British Top gear series
Abe Coulter I actually have
When a battery is drained, even partially, it's voltage goes down. Voltage is "pressure" that the battery can put out. Even at 80%, that's voltage lost. Your best bet would be to have the car at 100% and start. Think about it... if you walk 5 miles and then someone asks you to race, your going to be slower than if you rested before hand. Another... when you use a dremel, a battery operated one, you can tell the battery is dying because it doesn't have enough power or "pressure" to exert to push electrons through the wires, causing it to loose performance. It's a downside to electric cars, but one of the only ones😂. Thanks for all your videos. Hope that helps
Lol and you think that this can win engines consistently? Lol your a joke
Well explained.
Good for you
0:10 best intro ever
Next time replace your piston return springs right before the race.
Oh, then maybe try replacing the battery before the race.
Skylar Parks its electric car it goes that slow because he was lower than 50% battery he needs to be above 75% as tesla said and then it will go full power.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And the muffler bearings
Did you burn your hoodie after leaving it on the floor of the portalet?
You are not going to crash.
I love your videos. I been watching all your videos.
From Manit.
Please do not crash. YOur tesla Video are awesome. May the force be with you two.
Power was limited, you could see on the dash in yellow, you were getting 75d top speed limit
Mic Mag @9:45 you can see the warning triangle showing power was limited
Love your vids P.S Cut open an Apple Watch!
That edit was so clean
one of the biggest reasons i thing other than not having enough battery is that you was waaaaay to slow on the corners!you could exit the corner before the big straight with over 110-115 i believe!
Police in general needs to update there radars. The radars are sooo off.
Your cars speedometer can be up to 10 mph off by law. Police radar guns are more accurate then your speedo.This is because the last 10 mph of accuracy require very expensive hardware.
Mikey duns Didn’t know that. Thanks for the info!
Often cars have their speedo saying 5mph faster than you are actually going to try and prevent you from speeding
Louis Ireland that’s very smart, thing is why do cop radars go higher and speedos go lower?
ScriptingLaw I guess because they’re made to track how fast a vehicle is actually going. Idk man I don’t make those things.
Laughs in Germany on the Autobahn about 155 mph and making it "impressive" lol
1:50 OMG 😱
The gearing for the motors also give it lower end torque and power but once you get above 100 mph then the motor starts to struggle because the gearing is not a low enough ratio for higher speed.
You need to go Ludicrous speed!
Zachary Hansen he was in ludicrous mode
Yeah
Only performance model has ludicrous mode. His car is model x long range and it doesn't have ludicrous mode.
Haha a suit for 155 mph/259 kmh, its normal to drive that fast here in Germany on the Highway:D (Of there's no speed limit and yes sometimes there are speed limits on the "Autobahn")
Highway my dude
Veraphl ich bin auch deutscher
Staatsfeind Nr. 1 Whats wrong?
It's not normal to drive that fast on the autobahn. Most car's drive around the 130-150 km/h range.
Klar, wenn deine Karre das packt fährt man das auch, vorausgesetzt freie Strecke und keine Baustelle. Die meisten fahren 160-210 kmh wenn man nicht grad in nem Corsa hockt
having the car at 100% would definitely help, as batteries drop in voltage as they are depleted, also, more efficient tires can also help as well as cleaning brake callipers to make sure the brakes aren't seizing and squeezing the rotors, in general just reduce energy losses, as they are the main limiting factors aside from power that limit top speed
I would love any of those super cars. Especially the McLaren.
Tip for better performance next time: film in 144p... that's how life works, right?
More charge, More power. Also the car is heavy so 🤷🏾♂️
Can't wait till the new Roadster comes out!!
I love this song
just tell the organisers, that you will be back in 2020 not with 155 mi/hr but with 250+ mi/hr
The electric motors at this point in time will never go that fast, only a handful of HYPERcars go the fast, the acceleration is only 1.9 to 60 because of he tourque.
Novek just see Tesla's official website
Mr. Perfect ! You know that they use that as comercial benefit
I believe there are 2 reasons for limited top speeds.
1 is the tyres. A 155mph limit allows for W or Y rated tyres. If those cars could reach their true top speeds much more expensive rubber would be needed.
2. It's a 'gentlemans agreement'. Nearly all the big German brand cars also have this limit (BMW, Merc, Audi etc) and it's said this was made to protect the deristricted autobahns in Germany and also appease green parties due to excessive fuel consumption.
Both are true!
SuperKimjong
In the Tesla's case it's to protect the batteries.
In the case of Audi, BMW and Mercedes it is indeed a gentlemans agreement. That you can circumvent by paying extra...
Luckily my Ford does 165 from the factory.
155 mph converts to 250 kph, which is the gentleman's agreement top speed, so I thinks there's something there.
lol fuel consumption but yes if i do 170kmh in my 4.0L car the consumption more than doubles
The tires can take up to 165 for around 2 miles before they really heat up. The 155mph was an EU edict for 'safety' reasons. All euro manufacturers are MANDATED to that speed for their cars. Supercars often have a 'legal' switch which does this, or, like the Gt-R, auto-sensing navigation that turns the limiter off when you're at a racetrack.
I believe Tesla did this for the sake of battery safety and avoiding increased cases of drive motor failure. Of course, they couldn't REALLY make a difference for those two components unless they limited their cars to 90mph. And considering their sales pitch to rich yobs to sell these things, THAT ain't gonna happen.
At the end of the race you should’ve done the Tesla car dance LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
0:55 “I MEAN LOOK AT THIS PURPLE THING RIGHT HERE”
1 no
2 no
3 of course
It doesn’t go as fast when it isn’t full battery
This should be the "What's Inside?: All I talk about is Tesla" channel.
software how long have you had it .5 of a year to make it go that fast
Hahaha so funny watching this from Germany xD - just got 18 last week and nobody drives with helmets at that speed :D
Denk dran, in Amerika sind die sowas auch gar nicht gewohnt. Die sind drüber schlimmer als die Österreicher oder die slowenen was die Begrenzung angeht
@@tatasatan das stimmt so aber auch nicht. niemand fährt speedlimit. Bei 75 wird man mit 85 immernoch überholt. Geht dann eher richtung 90-93. Und wenn Cops da stehen merkt das entweder weil alles langsamer werden, oder weil man sie sieht. Aber wenn man halt erwischt wird kann es ordentlich teuer werden
@@TobsCA das war nicht wirklich ernst gemeint ^^
Use the roadster
Trending Stuff ikr
Trending Stuff maybe he isn’t using it because it won’t be available until 2020?
Trending dumb 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😃😂😂😂😂
update..we love your show & spacex. We traveled to Boca Chica to the the starshing get built. & we got the S dual motor fsd last Christmas 🎄 😎 still have the cybertruck tri motor or 4 motor fsd on order, i got lots of solar & backup battery system to charge them both. love tsla stock
Great video my dream car is and Lexus lc500 And Tesla model S p100d
Will hit 155
Not long
And won’t crash

*FAST AND THE FURIOUS 10?!?!?!?* 😱😱😱
PERCYBIBOL10 no.
Fast and furious 20
9:44 you can see the batteries were over heating it was reducing Power to cool down the batteries so if that did not happen you could of definitely hit 155MPH
Lutacris mode you go insane
Cool to watch, but your SOC was to low. You should have 90%+ to get maximum performance. Your car also had output limit, the dots on the powermeter. Were you driving before the top speed run? I looked as the stators already were warm when you started?
That Ferrari looks sick

For all the people asking how he did it. Watch the stall it moves at 2:32 if you don't believe me look at the door frame. Therefor its editing ( masking ).
Btw if you do this in 2020 bring your roadster
The roadster is slower
@@justinarthur7111 i thought the 2020 roadster could go over like 200 kmh
@youlasty oh ok thanks for letting me know
Slow top speed because 1 gear. Fast acceleration because instant torque
With electrics you don't need gears. A electrical motor can increase rpms with no limit other than what the winding can handle as weal as bearings etc. More power more rpms. Fuel engines of any type have a upper limit to rpms which is why they need transmissions with gears. You can speed up or slow down the rpms that make it to the wheels.
Nova Flare Yeah, that’s why in Formula E use gears, to maintain a good top speed and torque.
oh yeah yeah
Electric motors have an upper limit to their rpm as well, usually limited by back EMF before any mechanical issues. This is why an electric motor (in addition to friction) under no load will not continue to increase in rpms endlessly until you cut power. That's not to say though that a higher top speed cannot be achieved without a transmissions, it simply wasn't designed with top speed in mind. (It runs into cooling issues at sustained high speeds anyway)
Electric motors have rpm limits.
Those copper windings spinning inside that motor are being thrown outwards at insane g's.
And those mechanical parts which have rpm limits.
The other thing he's running into is the fact that the Tesla motors their best torque and acceleration in the first two seconds or so from launch.
After that the acceleration is halved.
Now couple this with the fact that the faster you go, the more torque you need to just push through the air and the Tesla's motor is already getting all the juice it can get from the battery.
You could increase the engine power by increasing the power drain from the batteries.
But you might not have enough juice to actually finish the run.
Nice video i liked it very much. could you tell me songs playing in your background video. i wanna name of it
Yes
Tesla is my favorite car company. Anyone else?
It is my least favorite but that’s my opinion. BTW Tesla is more of a tech company than a car company.
No😂
Buhr Family I'm not sure if always, but for now maybe 🙂
Teddy's Lift World that's for sure true but the tech is impressive!
My favourite is actually Renault.
How on earth did you do that @ 2:24????...
magic
fr that was insane. even the people in the back didn’t move suspiciously
A simple cut and a little bit of masking for the people in the background. Added camera shake when the tripod was placed on the ground to make it still look hand held. All very well executed
(Sorry for ruining the magic)
Editing.
Molo r
Light that fire !!!
I do this every day on my way to work w.o. Helmet. greetings from Germany
Remove the electronic speed limiter if possible!
The computer itself limits the speed
And also controles the acceleration
So it's not possible
Also it will damage the motor
what.
On some models the power slopes off at 120 if your not in ludricous +
The ending lol
I remember you saying that there's software that blocks it from going above 155. So my theory is that once you get past 130, the software starts to partially act up.
Suggestion buy a Tesla roadster...lmao
Wait forgot ur already getting one
What model of tesla that he had used in this video?
Electric motors are really good in 0-60 times and instant power but they get a little lazy near the end and the pet goes slowly out. Also, you could pre condition the battery by putting it into ludicrous mode!
