This is a really cool idea, if I didn't have two more kids to help through college, I'd buy up a couple of the Hertz Model 3's and go racing!
Thank you for shedding some light on EVs and motorsports. As someone that I personally consider a big (and influential) name in automotive journalism, this is a very important video. I am and will ALWAYS be a fan of ICE cars. I also happen to own a Tesla Model 3 Performance, after saying I'd never own an EV. I'm just a car guy. I don't care what powers it. The guys at Mountain Pass Performance are doing great things, and I look forward to (hopefully) some East Coast events.
I tried tracking my little Cupra Born 3 times last year. As you described heat soak on everything between the battery and motors is a huge problem. Since mine has no real differentials and only one motor on the rear and the ESC in sport mode is permanently doing minute breaking its only good for 10-15 minutes of lets say sporty driving. Sticker and wider tyres with non aero wheels did not help that much. So basically its a different driving style; you have to listen to what the tyres are doing, remember your speeds + entry points and babysit it through the corners. Still fun of course, but different.😅
This is so cool. Model 3 is really fun to drive.
Most Important Video of the Year in Electric Vehicles. Finally to show that Yes YOU can race them and Model 3 maybe the electric edition of the Mazda Miata. Thanks for this Video.
Fun car to drive in Gran Turismo around the Nordschleife, many mods available in the game to tune it as well
The VR experience feels surreal, just like driving it irl
Waiting on the "you're just driving a big RC car!" "Doesn't feel the same w/o the sound!" "No audio, no Funio!" comments.
😂
Can you do a series on shots and settings for some one wanting to get into automotive photography?
Happy lunar new year 🧧
😂😂😂What is this thing... Well said Larry... 😂😂😂
In an EV you press the electron pedal. 😁🤟
Fun fact: all of the Tesla haters that will show up in the comments didn’t watch the entire video and are not even track racers.
I thought stock RWD model 3 was 211kw, or ~283 hp. Not 350hp like he said.
(...anything that could result in a "thermal event")
Well...we all now know what a car fire identifies as in 2024.
That said... there is a pretty damn serious model3 project car cutting time down on the nurbergring...
please would you post a link mentionend Nürburgring M3 project? Thanx Julius
Fucking hell, who signed off on the spine-snapper harness location?! RIP your vertebrae if you ever crash it.
New for ev enthusiasts
As a car "enthusiast" the speed is fun but after a while I miss the feedback experience of a combustion engine car.
I'm looking forward to the day where we can get a lightweight fun electric car. I hate heavy vehicles
Especially after rebuilding the engine yourself! Rowing through the gears with a good h shift on a freshly rebuilt engine is heaven and a great rewarding experience. I like the instant response of my EV but it gets old after a while and nothing beats the man machine interaction with an h shift ICE car. Flappy paddle cars are fun for a bit but they are too much like a video game, not nearly the same rewarding feeling for running a great lap.
@@twinturboray learned my lesson with the dodge caliber; that transmission with its drive by wire was so horrible to drive.
Has no soul sorry larry. I need a motor and a stick shift. I need that sound.
Larry, you are missing out the amazing Barra engine....
Honestly I don’t mind teslas as an rc car enthusiast. But as far as on the street in every day life I cannot stand them😂
As a fan of eV (not) was boring to listen because there is no soul in this car.
Sorry Mr. Chen, i could not watch it till the end, at 11min. in, i am done, no emotions. As a commuter car it has a eligibility.
✌️
Yeah my thoughts exactly, he even had to play some music over the track driving just keep the video interesting. They make great commuting appliances but it stops there. I daily an EV and trackday an h shift ICE, that's the way it's going to be for me from here on out.
I think it'd be cool if they had EV races that aren't allowed to use brakes, only regen to slow.
That would suck. All that heat would go to the battery and motors. We already have a hard time dealing with thermals
@@stevencase243 That's his point.
No offense Larry...but ef Tesla and ef elon
What exactly is the problem with Elon?
@@ZEPRATGERNODTTesla is fine. Elon is an egomaniac. He condemns media for spreading misinformation yet he’s turned Twitter into his own personal media agenda funnel. He’s power hungry and an attention whore. I had to block him because I wasn’t following him yet his tweets were consistently forced into my feed. All he does is start problematic conversations just to disrupt. He doesn’t treat folks well, he’s notorious for treating staff like 2nd rate citizens if they have opposing opinions to his.
Nobody cares about your opinion.
Both are badass. Love haters 😂
Nothing is. Dude probably voted for biden and is on his 7th booster @@ZEPRATGERNODT
