Jay Breaks a World Record in a Tesla Plaid! | Jay Leno's Garage - Zábava
A 140k 4 door saloon which is faster than a few million dollars Bugatti. Absolutely astonishing!
It's quicker because instant torque that EV's have but, not faster. The Plaid possibly can hit 200mph with proper wheels, otherwise, it goes around 160-170mph.. The Bugatti on the other hand has a 300mph model, so your statement that Tesla is faster is not valid
@@mihaelmerkler3924 Well, it's faster over a very short distance. So it is valid for about the first quarter mile, but not after that.
@@joythought Yes I got your point but theoretically speaking faster means higher top speed.In the case of Tesla, we have a higher acceleration which is a big advantage in quarter-mile drag races. Also, there are cheaper cars that have even higher acceleration but its not stock, heavenly modified but still street legal, and surely cost less :D At the end its all about the preferences what a person expect and want from a car
@@mihaelmerkler3924 - right now the PLAID is Speed limited to 160 mph.........for now.
but, the Drivetrain can support speeds up to 200 mph in Street Tires.
and IF you take the PLAID to Unplugged Performance , they can make it LIGHTER & FASTER.
@@joythought - Tesla PLAID is also a VERY FAST Track Car , capable of Blistering LAP times.
Jay actually has a point about the weight difference. with times that close, the lighter driver could have been the only difference in their performances.
You should let Fi drive it, even faster
Damned meatball sandwich.
YEP! also, track temp, air temp, battery charge, tire pressure, and about 100 other variables....
well, they should send it down the strip with no driver at all, ie on autopilot
@@Gruxxan that would be interesting.
Got to ride in a Tesla yesterday for the first time. Wish I had a neck brace even with the model 3. The acceleration is amazing!
Just have head firmly resting on the head rest and don't try to fight G Force. I stupidly tried to fight it in a P90D Model S.
I’ll give you 7 days before you order one
@@TopCheeseCustoms and only work 10000 hours to afford one haha
1 time test drive isnt enough experience. After purchasing and owning model y for weeks. It is an amazing driving experience. I don't want to drive my gas vehicle anymore. Even when going 80s and punch it, the torque still kicks at high speeds.
I'll buy a tesla when they can be bought msrp pre inflated /shortage prices give or take 2 years
Can we just take a moment and be proud that an American automaker is leading the EV performance consumer market? Regardless of what you feel about EVs but for the first time in a long time, the US is the pioneer in this particular class of vehicle that definitely gives European and Japanese manufacturers a run for their money.
100% agree! America leading the new automotive industry 🇺🇸
I've only owned Japanese and German cars in in the past. Now I will only buy a Tesla.
China is the only competition currently when it comes to EV
@@erickariuki6842 They seem to have a better low prices EV. But nothing compared to Tesla performance. We could use more affordable ones in America though. Tesla’s are expensive
And yet the White House didn't invite Tesla to their EV summit.
That's it, I'm selling the Ferrari, all 12mpg of it and getting a Plaid. Got 8kw solar on the roof, and I'm getting paid to generate free energy from the sun, which means standing Qtr's in 9.2s cost literally nothing. And it seats 5 people. What's not to like?!?
Driving on sunshine!
Not a soul that actual owns a ferrari would sell it for a soulless plaid. Stop clowning simp
@@brandonnixon7105 oh tesla has a soul alright
You definitely saying that for attention you’re some kid that’s in middle school
@@yolo12345lol not really do you even know what soul is ? Clown 😌
This video was shot on June 2nd of this year. Photos of this run with Jay Leno driving and the amazing 9.2 second, 151MPH 1/4 mile time were all over the internet at the time because even though Tesla claimed a similar acceleration numbers on their order website, this was the first sign that it could actually be this amazingly quick and fast when measured at a drag strip. Even though it has bee a long wait to see this video, and we have all seen even quicker times since then, it was still great to see Jay excited beforehand, and pleased/relieved after he broke the record. The Tesla Model S Plaid is truly an amazing car!
thanks .. you just saved me 6 min ...
Lol. Jay Leno takes 5 months to release a youtube video. Meanwhile every car youtuber has broken the 1/4 mile record 6 months ago
While Jay was releasing this video - Rimac released Nevera and all this topic of "fastest production car" is no use now) Shame
But still impressive car, taking such a low price into account
@@MrFlexID Not just for the price but for a high Range, mass production car and a family sedan. The rimac is cool and all and much faster after 80MPH but from an engineering perspective the Plaid is wayyy more impressive.
@@MrFlexID Yes, I also saw the Rimac Vs Tesla Plaid battle and the Rimac smoked the Tesla. So, I surpose the issue is this: Is the Rimac Nevera actually a production car? Splitting hairs, I know. An individually hand built car costing around $2.5 million Vs the stock production Tesla. Did Rimac say they were limiting the build to 100 cars? I'm not sure. Plus, I think to qualify as a production car they must build at least 30(???). I'm not sure Rimac have built 30 or 50 Nevera cars yet. Anyway I was very impressed with what Rimac had built. 4 motors, approx 1900 hp. Jeez. What a beast.
I love this. Jay jumps into this new $129,000 Tesla and not only
sets a new world record, he does so by beating a multi million dollar Bugatti Chiron. And he makes it look easy in the process. Congrats to Jay and of course to Tesla! 😊
"Easiest job in the world." Jay Leno.
That Chiron isn’t meant for quarter mile times fangirl put the two on an airstrip and let’s watch the model s plaid fall behind 💀
@@ericship8383 Yet Bugatti executives, are up in a frenzy right now! =P
@@ericship8383 mad af LMFOAOAOAOAOAOA
@@0verIOrd look at his name lol
If anybody has been in a vehicle that fast let me tell you it is literally mind bending quick. My first time in a 9 second was breathtaking
I've done faster, in a bus with a lot of people, with wings, it eventually flew.
I paid 6k out the door in the 90s for a Suzuki Bandit GSF 1200 ( on a whim one day wanting a 10 second machine) because it was the fastest 0-60- 1/4 mile bike at the time. Not a sport bike with 14K redline but an engine made specifically for sport cruising and drag pulls. Gave the Suzuki Dealer 6k ( New) and road home having road motorcyles mu whole life since I was 9 in the 70s but no litre class sport bike experience. I have driven a tesla and it doesn't compare to twisting the throttle on that on a street with stuff on either side that gives the ACTUAL FEELING OF GOING INTO HYPERSPACE as stuff blends and your are trying to get your 200 lbs over the front a bit because your front wheel is hovering off the pavement just slightly .
I was running on a straight nearly 100 mile long road ( Ocean Pkwy LI NY) at 160+ indicated one day and cracked the throttle with A Honda XXX Blackwing I think it was called and the dude crouched and slingshotted away like I was stationary .150-160 on a bike without clip ons and crotch rocket seating . a thought goes through your brain in a millisecond , like REALLY ? You realize your are a temporary being that could cease to exist in less then a blink.
The Tesla Shoves you in a seat in that digital on off way but pilot a street bike to 60 with the front wheel barely touching the ground in 2. whatever and STAY IN IT . Mine had a Kit installed that Jetted the carbs , opened the intake and exhaust and a timing advance kit later on that made it supposedly a 9 second capable bike . I know bikes are even crazier now but that Bandit had the LEGENDARY 1150 Suzuki Air oil cooled engine that most drag bikes used similar to how old drag cars had some engine based on a hemi type engine ONLY DESIGNED for a powerband for drag that did NOT need to be spun and had per weight about the same tourque as a tesla on 2 wheels for 6k new . Even my friends withe sport bikes were always eager to trade just to get their arms insta stretched.
@l o l Very interesting point , noted .
I've been launched off an aircraft carrier..... is it similar?
Although this is an old run and there have been faster Plaid times than this, it's still awesome to finally get the full clip lol
Exactly.... Before this all I see and heard was "Faster than Jay Leno's world record!!" And I was wondering whattt.....
its world record for stock car. Not gutted.
Can't wait to see the numbers when the new roadster with the air rockets comes out.
We will all have submarines by then, living underwater.
It might be a while if only because SpaceX has more important business to deal with.
But the cold gas thrusters are going to be _insane_
@@JIYkp yea... 2 factyories being made... not enough batteries to meet current demand. Cyber truck and semi taking up the roadster batteries
How much faster do we need to go? Next it will be warp speed.
You will not be on this planet when that happens , since it is bs.
A lot of added weight and they would breach noise laws.
Congratulations! Amazing record.
this was done , MANY months ago. why are they so LATE ?
Jay Leno posted this like 6 Months ago.
Super old time, anyone with a Plaid can do that time on the regular now.
current 1/4 mile record apparently is 8.99
Another example of White Privilege. LOL.
Gotta love that Jay Leno. I miss is show. He is truly living the dream of every automotive enthusiast.
Whatever can we just admit that Jay has best life ever.
I'm getting a Tesla...btw I had a Porsche 993!
I love my old 2013 Tesla Model S P85+, she’s got 125,000 miles now
it can't be, as according to fcbk comments you need to replace battery after 4 years, lol
How has it performed since you've purchased it?
@@saliman4874 consider the source.
Is that 125,000 miles from the original battery pack?
@@eastmanwebb5477 it should be, my crappy 2011 nissan leaf got 110K+ miles is still on original battery pack, at 70% capacity and slow charge only.
V8 - RWD - LOUD dual exhaust is what stirs my emotions. Always has and always will. But... its undeniable that a low 9sec everyday sedan is incredible.
Well guys I just turned my dad into a tesla lover...
😅.
Welp. I convinced my Mother to install a 2nd level charger at her house, that she uses as an Air B&B.
Where She lives, 300 people in Spokane Washington have installed level 2 chargers. But she will be the first Air B&B to have one in Spokane!
This guy Jay is taking to is who delivered me my Tesla in 2013. I didn't know who he was.. I just wanted my car. It's cool that the company would take the time to deliver each car one at a time back then and let people tour the factory.
There is a customer how bought new 2013 Model S for $110k and he also bought the stock for $110K. Stock worth about $12 millions.
@gimmefries you got to talk to Frans? 😯😯😯
Was one of the first deliveries and they had me go to the Hawthorne design center and I didn't know who he was. They just said he was a designer on the car. But I recognize his face seeing this.
Some guy called Elon dropped my one off. Nice bloke.
Imagine how different The Fast and the Furious would of been 20 years later...Dominic Toretto would of been given a Tesla proximity fob instead of Toyota keys from Brian O' Connor for the the 9 sec car that was owed to him lol
Jay Leno still crushing it!!
I like the way he says he was robbed...
by a meat-ball sandwich!
He was robbed. Just wait till you buy one. lol
Jay, you held the world speed record... for 5 minutes.
@E Double except that the Rimac had not yet set the record, so he did have the record at the time.
@E Double your original statement was that Jay "never held" the speed record because the Rimac is faster, and that is incorrect, because the Rimac had not yet set the faster record at the time Jay set this record.
So yes, your original time based statement about the record was incorrect.
@E Double a world record is set when a car actually drives at a race track and gets the record recorded.
The Tesla set the record officially in May, the Rimac reportedly did a unofficial run in June, but did not do an officially recorded run until August.
So from May to August, Tesla held the official world record for the fastest production car.
Rimac prototypes may have driven faster before that, but the record we are talking about is for production cars, and Rimac didn't not have any production cars previously, and prototypes don't count for it.
@E Double Exactly. Rimac FTW
@E Double yes, the Nivea IS faster, now, but it was not yet in production when this record was set, and you claimed that Jay never had the record because the Nivea is NOW faster, so get over it, you made a false claim, and you have been presented the evidence to prove it.
I am not disputing that the Nivea currently holds the record, until Tesla takes it again anyway... Lol
"Come to think of it, I did have a meatball sandwich for lunch and this professional driver can't be no more 120lbs soaking wet." Jay Leno. Lol.
He's still funny!
I'm surprised. I thought Jay's Tesla had denim interior..
Your thinking of the old Lincoln he had lol
I know you mean that in jest considering Jay's strong emphasis on car restoration is based on original everything.
I would seriously buy a Tesla Levi's Edition.
Wow!!! Tesla is the only brand that doesn’t need any advertising!
Lucid too, and Zara for example in the fashion industry
What would you call this video, then?
@@MindofMatter It’s a news piece. From CNBC
Uh huh
Just like Donald Trump
Rimac Nevera only takes 8,6 seconds...
Still this is very impressive, because it's about 16 times cheaper than the Nevera :)
Is that a production vehicle?
Yes it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimac_Nevera
To be precise: 8.582 seconds.
What defines a "production vehicle?"
@@JohnPritzlaff There is no fixed definition of the number of vehicles or the amount of modification allowed outside of motorsports or national regulations or laws that determine what is or is not a production vehicle. Rimac Nevara will be produced in 150 units, so it is a production vehicle
CNBC - this is an OLD Video, but thank you for Posting it.
Well done Jay. Love to see you loving what you do and bringing that enthusiasm to all of us.
I love how Jay loves all cars!
Glad to see this video because I thought the mainstream media could barely bring themselves to acknowledge this world record when it happened.
1:20 the greatest and most intuitive analogy Ive ever heard
at 6:19 "Come to think of it, I did have a meatball sandwich." OMG, I was rolling on the floor with laughter!
Sold my highly tuned fully built gt500 for a plaid and will literally never look back. got the wife a Y with the extra money left over from the trailer and tools needed to keep my monster running. Teslas are low cost compared to ICE of the same performance level. Not even close. My old red dragon coildnt run my plaid down even full of people (until I hit the limiter at 163mph and the gt ran by. ICE is so dead! Once Tesla releases the 200+ mph cap, ICE is is even more dead
And when you are sitting around charging i will wave as i pass you buy. And EVs will never be as fast as ICE cars. Former tesla owner here.
@@4kking966 charge while you sleep and wave at gas stations 😳
I have a 2020 M3 AWD and a track/fun car (ICE). EVs are amazing for a daily driver, nothing beats them in that regard, but the Tesla is soulless and not fun on the track (yes I have tracked my M3 as well). It's like comparing apples and oranges. One is for fun/excitement/enjoying life. The other one is to get you from work and home and back again.
@@4kking966 Energy independence from corrupt oil companies if you have solar!!!

Elon Musk must have watched Spaceballs!!
Yep. Last car was Ludicrous Speed, now Plaid.
And you only figured that one out right now ? :p
Dude. Elon Musk IS Spaceballs.
The ‘waaaauw, thats amazing’ gets me everytime😂😂 like: ‘oohoo wasn’t expecting that’
You can tell Jay's an old pro when he says "I'm curious about my score " what a maroon!
I was a "kid" in the early 70" and we played with "slot cars" which were small electric cars that raced around a track and they were fast
Tesla doesn't have to pay for advertisement at all LOL
Or have a PR / Spin / Propaganda department !!
Ha ha, very funny. I say Tesla has the worlds biggest propaganda department, period
@@stennordenmalm1735 that is true, especially considering they do not pay for any advertising or PR.

Two things I have in common with Jay Leno. Chevrolet Volt and Tesla Model S. Greetings to Jay ❤️
This thing is sick. I can’t imagine 0-60 in 2 seconds. My buddy use to have a Dodge Viper that he suped up and it had 777 hp. The acceleration was insane. It would throw you back in the seat and the g forces were insane. I would love to drive this new Tesla
4680 version of the Plaid + high 8s insane.
They canceled the Plaid+ back in June, no?
@E Double Impressive, yes. But not as much when you realize you are comparing it to a car your mom can go grocery shopping in with three three child safety seats in the back. Not to mention you can buy 18 (EIGHTEEN!) Plaids for the price of one Rimac.
@E Double rimac isn’t mass produced and cost 3 million dollars 😂
@E Double Barely faster for literally 20 times the price
@@henrikduff4709 Yes, that's true. Telsa are making amazing vehicles and have been responsible for kicking off the electric car revolution. The fact that we're even comparing the Tesla Plaid and the Rimac Nevera is astounding. What an exciting time we live in.
But fans of Tesla is quite close minded to anything else happening outside the brand. The 9.2 times set by Jay and Tesla are not world records. An 8.58 quarter mile for the Rimac Nevera was recorded by Drag Times back in August. "Barely faster" is a pretty dissmissive view of what the Rimac has achieved. Decreasing these times further becomes a game of diminishing returns, as reliability and usability need to be considered. It's a very different scenario to building a 2,000HP purpose built drag car. Consider that the Rimac Nevera was the first EV to topple the fastest ICE production car in the world at any point in history.
Can’t wait to see the Roadster! 8 second quarters!
Tesla PLAID can do 9.0 @ 160 mph if you remove the Rear Seats.
@@markplott4820 next iteration of the Model S with 4680 batteries will likely break into the 8s zone, too.
@@JustinCrediblename - we shall see, but that is YEARS away , as Priority is given to Austin 4680 in NEW model Y, and NOT even Cybertruck.
@@markplott4820 yeesh. not even the cyber? It seems like the profit margins would suffer pretty seriously with all of those batteries
@@markplott4820 no model y or 3 will have 4680 cells they are reserved for Semi atm. Semi / cyber / roadster ... then Plaid are the only things that may have them atm. Pepsi is expecting some semi's soon so id guess its that atm.
Props to Jay Leno... records were made to be broken and even though his only lasted on the top for 5 mins not many people can ever claim to ever have held this record...
Drag strip, very sticky tarmac and rollout is not an indication of reallife performance. But the drag time is nice. And it can do a whole 5 laps of the famous Nurnburg ring before it overheats. So still is a onetrick pony… But it is quick, brutal and instant as an everyday driver and beats most everyday cars.
Love how the pro driver is looking around like he's doing something special. Oooo I pressed the throttle AND watched the iPad. Pro. If only Jay had done that...
The Tesla Plaid is my dream car.
wait a couple of years, get a load for a used one, use it for business purposes so you can write much of it off, and get a roommate. simple
Same but the roadster is just 2years away
Like the model X plaid. Virtually the same speed. Immense practicalities. Seriously good looking car.
Meatball Sub sounds wonderful! Breaking World Records, priceless!!!
JAY! CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING THE FASTEST... SECOND FASTEST TESLA DRIVER.....
Wonderful for you. Likely we're twice as old and twice as.... Say, the did I say how proud I am of your fantastic career? I got to see you live decades ago. I watched your tonight shows religious and I'm a regular viewer of the garage. The greatest thing is you're a regular guy.
Continued "nachas" you to and Mavis...
I just launched a plaid couple days ago, the speed is so intense you feel sick from the g force!!!
@E Double The Rimac Nevera costs US $2.4 million, vs the Plaid at about $131,000 ($0.131 million).
Wow that’s insane. Imagine what the future looks like.
0-100mph - 2secs.
5000m range.
Ultimately will probably have cars that have a lifetime run that don’t even need to be charged.
"Jay!! Didnt even hear you coming" my man had that one loaded and ready to go for months.
lol the ending commentary is great
To get better times you don't need 300 mile of battery. Drop 2/3 of that battery pack and will get into the 8's/
Then it wouldn't be a production vehicle. It would be modded. Not what they were trying to achieve.
Whenever the new roadster is produced, no doubt, it will be in the 8's.
yeah, theoretically a car could just have a small battery just capable of doing like 30 miles or something, like a PHEV without the generator part of powertrain. Would significantly reduce mass, but obviously not many people would want only 30 miles range.
Well it really can’t. The limitation is the battery. It needs an extremely high output. One way to get that is use high output cells, but they don’t last very long, so degradation is accelerated. If tesla decreased the battery size, the power would drop by maybe 200hp cuz you need a big battery to supply lots of current.
Each cell in a pack has a maximum c-rate for discharge. You need a big pack with lots of cells in modules and series to get enough power for that kind of speed. 2/3rds the amount of cells would mean 2/3rds of the output since you can't squeeze a higher discharge rate from each cell.
Somebody's got to do a carbon frame/panel mod on this. I'm sure it'll hit 8s.
OMG Great video, thanks for posting!!
Thumbs up Jay! A feather in your cap. For a few minutes you were the world champ!
Plus you did drive Pawuk's pro stocker and that would blow off the Tesla no doubt..
Why is this video so late??????? Is this CNBC finally getting their heads out of the rear and of Big Oil and get on the Tesla freight train???
that car would need a cage to take a second pass at any drag strip
0:24 I heard “Franz von Holzhausen he’s behind the Model S in the Cubertruck”, as the footage shows Jay’s Model S, with a white truck behind it. I’m like: oh that’s Franz behind Jay in the Cybertruck, wait, that doesn’t look like a Cybertruck to me.
Anyway it was just funny how the script aligned up with the video.
Awesome! LETS GO LENO! Perfect duo...Tesla and Leno...keep him honest Jay...lol...nice record...who other than Jay! Good job Jay, and hat is off to the Tesla engineers! Nice!
A Tesla PLAID stock car was able to do a 9.0 1/4 Mile at 160 mph. the car was all Stock and the Trunk, Frunk, Interior gutted and Rear Seats Removed.
They just went 8.9 yesterday in maryland.

It’s better because I don’t have to wait at the pump for 4-8 hours for a charge. Tesla’s are ugly and boring. It’s a soulless laptop with wheels. Plus, you seriously think these are helping the environment? What do you think powers energy plants that charge these cars? What about the waste of all these batteries when they go dead? I’ll stick with my combustible engine Porsche.
I hope full episodes of this show will be available on youtube, because I live in Russia and we don't have CNBC here.
Loved the content, please keep it up, Jay, you are a legend!
The fastest wheel-powered dragster takes 5.090 seconds for the quarter mile. One day, maybe, an electric road car wil achieve these times. The Rimac Nevera (2000hp) can do the standing 1/4 in 8.5 seconds (167mph) but I guess chipping even 1/2 second off this time will need some serious extra technology.
This record is based on street legal tires, not the huge ones on dragsters. I suppose Tesla could put in 5 motors instead of 3 and essentially hand-build a few Model S Multi $ and call them production cars, but this ends up being a comparison of apples and oranges and tangerines.
@@donjones4719 Fair assessment.
5 seconds??? Here's a dragster doing a quarter mile in 3.42 seconds czcams.com/video/rzlz7PAYV7Y/video.html
The trick is resting your foot on the pedal and reacting immediately to the green light and keeping the foot down letting the motors do their thing.
just wait until, TESLA Automates the PEDAL , and lts Autopilot watch the Light and React FASTER than ANY Human Driver can, but it wont be LEGAL in Competition , but still FUN to use.
Rimac: hold my beer
The beauty about electric vehicles is the altitude, it does not effect the vehicle anymore.
It’s hard to believe there was a “plaid +” they didn’t release… yet… not to mention the roadster. ⚡️
they had a plaid with active aero testing recently. plaid+ will probably be better brakes, new battery pack, dynamic splitter, active wing and maybe dynamic venturi port at the back. that will probably push the price up quite a bit. my guess is $169,420 (after rebte), for obvious reasons.

Fangirl of Tesla alert 🚨
Fan girl thinking the model s plaid is the fastest car lol 😂
I just now got the Spaceballs reference.
right on MR Leno congrats to both of you glad you are happy fun time with thee new PLAID thee tesla team great bunch thee best
Jay comes back with a camera on the dash, it "sees" the green light start to illuminate and hammers the....accelerator. Reaction time of 0.001 second for the win. Next, put a cardboard cutout of a driver in place--from the NFL and run it on automatic. I vote an inflatable doll with helium and a camera with autopilot for the win. Make sure the inflatable is wearing denim to be realistic.
Just program the car to do the 1/4 mile with no driver to save weight. I'm sure it can FSD in a straight line on a controlled track
How far will it go on one full charge and how long does it take to recharge from empty to full?
Well done Jay! You’re up there with James May (Captain Slow) when he broke a record in the Veyron a few years back. Too bad about that skinny test driver, just have a smaller lunch next time you go for a record.
Are you Kidding?! May’s was a top speed test at over 200 mph. Leno wouldn’t consider doing anything that dangerous.
Plenty of videos of the Plaid destroying gas vehicles at the track.

That blue colour is amazing
Jay looks like dolly parton 😆
That 9.2 has already been broken on another Plaid well before this video was published. This is why you don't hold onto a video for months before you upload it. Old news is no news.
The 9.2 wasn't even the fastest time prior to this day of filming... It just wasn't published. :)
They should make a light-weight version drag pack Plaid😄
I suspect that the 1/4 mi time isn’t up to the driver all that much, if at all. It’s software driven. And probably assisted steering or completely auto.
So, you would just have to issue the launch command. After entering 2-3 passwords. Maybe you’d have to drive up and down the track so the software could map the course for any slight variations.
I'm going to wait until they come out with the Tesla Paisley before I buy one.
if CNBC could put something out in a reasonable time (not 6 months later) maybe they could actually get people to watch their stuff.
That body style has been around now for 10 years.
I always thought that Jay was the main inspiration of IncrediBoy/Syndrome facial feature in The Incredibles
Probably a dumb question, but are they still doing track times by using the red/amber/green light system, or is that just for show? I understand the lights in a head to head race, but when just measuring track times, I'd think tech would be at the point where they can just measure exactly where and when a car starts to where and when it hits the quarter mile mark.
Yes and no....the times can be based less the reaction time
You have got to laugh at the people who think electric cars are not the future, thick as two bricks.
“I did have a meatball sandwich…” 🤣
The new record was just set in Maryland was just set by Christine Dodworth which was a high 8 second pass. It was at or during testing at the world cup finals
The new record is 8:99 at 155
It wasn’t stock
@@ericship8383 it doesn’t matter. Other records are on modified versions of other cars.
@@ericship8383 just tires correct ?
CNBC, seriously? Don't you hate Tesla and Elon?!
They were proabably waiting to see what lucid did before they released it LOL.
they like clicks/views
Yes but leno is an impartial car guy, no car company owns him so cnbc just rolls with it.
FYI, the MSRP for the Model S P90D back in 2015 was actually $125K, not $78 as shown on the screen.
I remember the days of the v8 Vega pro stock guys going nuts when they broke 10 seconds. FULL BLOWN RACE CARS, NOT STREET CARS.
Tesla is just fantastic!
meatball sandwich lost Jay the record.
he held the world record atleast for 3 mins 😂
Jay wasn't shocked how different this accelerates versus his Baker.Maybe he'll get a new battery pack?"Ok,Bernard,cut the power,the tires popped...."
They have to update the brakes though, with a 1020 hp they should be much better. Check throttlehouse they almost ran out of runway - not good with so much power - but still love it :)
maybe the problem is the runway they chose to test cars on was too short. Its a heavier car thats trapping 160mph then they need to be on a longer track which would be the appropriate thing to do. i saw that video, they seem anti tesla or maybe a bit drama with little negative comments here and there about tesla. when you run out of room on your test track then its not the cars fault.
@@addictedtopussy69 Think their review was ok, but other have taken it to the track, and the brakes overheat in an instant, it should have bigger discs, or ceramic - its a bit irresponsible to up the power x2 and not look at the stopping performance - could be dangerous to the inexperienced driver
