Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - goo.gl/VZstk7
The Tesla Model S P100D is one of the fastest production vehicles the world has ever seen. It accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, powered by dual, three-phase, four-pole motors. One motor in the front, and one in the rear means intelligent AWD that can independently control the torque bias front and rear.
The 315 mile range P100D is also designed to be incredibly safe, with all 5-star crash ratings, a super low center of gravity, and a large front crumple zone. It also features over-the-air software updates improving the vehicle with time. It was a blast to drive, check out the video for the full review!

2 minutes and 15 seconds in and i already feel like this has been the most technically informative Tesla video i’ve ever watched. thank you, Jason.
-long time fan
Ha, appreciate it, thanks for watching!! :)
I can agree, I like your content!
That's because none of the other Tesla channels are technical or have the educational background to go in depth like Jason does.
What a massive disrespect to uncle Rich of Rich Rebuilds. I've never even sat in a Tesla but I know how to fully disassemble the battery and most of the interior.
I have never ever been interested in watching Tesla (or car) reviews. But I just can't resist in clicking into this one 😂
To paraphrase Jeremy Clarkson. Speed doesn't kill ya. Stopping suddenly. That's what gets ya.

Model S owner here! Just two points:
* the Cd for the Model S is actually 0.24, not 0.23; the Model 3, however, has a Cd of 0.23 (Tesla was targeting, but failed to achieve, 0.21). Also, as you certainly know, it's the CdA that matters and the Model S has a cross section area (is that the correct vocable?) of 2.4 m^2;
* if you can spare the time, I'd love to see a video of yours explaining the different types of electric motors used by the EV industry. For instance, the Model S uses induction motors front and rear, but the Model 3 uses a PMSR motor at the rear (Permanent Magnet, Switched Reluctance) -- and an induction motor at the front. Most other manufacturers as far as I can tell use synchronous, permanent magner motors.
(and by the way, mine is a 90D, not a P100D... I wish I had waited a little longer and bought a 100D but meh)
I believe the 2018 is 0.23. Directly from Tesla's website: "0.23 Cd. The most aerodynamic car in its class with the lowest drag coefficient on earth" (Scroll down to "exterior" www.tesla.com/models)
@@EngineeringExplained I think it changed in 2016 when they did the facelift. Inexplicably, after the facelift, it had better efficiency. Probably the Cd was one of the reasons.
Francis Galiegue I’m honestly surprised. A Tesla owner that actually knows technical info about their Tesla. Not too often somebody like you knows what the cd is for their Tesla
That would be awesome! First time I come across anyone that talks about the different types of electric engines. Mostly everyone compares them with juice blenders.
@@kriss2005 (and @EngineeringExplained) well, I do have a post facelift; Tesla did not advertise at the time that the Cd had improved. As to efficiency, well, I'm not sure. I only know that for the lifetime of the vehicle so far (61000 km) my average consumption is a little south of 18.9 kWh/100 km (sorry, if you are still using the imperial system in 2018, you'll have to convert for yourself, I don't bother with the past :p).

I have yet to a see person who has driven an electric car to speak negatively about it.
It is only the people who haven't driven an electric car who talk bad
More range, waiting on new battery technology✔️
My Civic from 0 to 15 is amazing
No it’s not...
0-60 in 33 secs
It does in a way have a two speed transmission. The rear motor is geared lower for acceleration and the front higher for top speed. When you're cruising on the highway, the rear motor turns off.
That is very interesting.
Interestingly, the three-phase motor was invented by... Nikola Tesla, who filed a patent for it in 1888.
"Soo, how do we want to build our motors? Hmm ... let's google 'Tesla Motor'." 😄
Polyphase Machine. 3 minimum, needed to determine direction; forward or reverse. Machine, because it can work as either a motor, or a generator. Note regenerative braking, is the motor acting as a generator. That's why electrical engineers often refer to them as "machines", instead of motor or generator.
Also, the power from the power company, since Westinghouse using Tesla design, has been 3 phase. Late 1800s, so nothing new. Your house only gets split-phase (120-0-120). The power company taps off 2 of the phases, per residential neighborhood (A-B, A-C, or B-C). But if you're in a commercial, business, or industrial zoned area, the power will be all three phases.
Also patents only last 20 years (if actively extended).

Excellent video and i really appreciate all the great info...much appreciated as always
So that Tesla grin got you too when that electrons kicked in, yo!
ETEC
Oh my.
I tested an e-scooter at an Electric car convention in Montreal this year in a closed circuit and I remember I was impressed by how quick the torque gets in. You ask for delivery and it's basically there waiting for you. I tried explaining it to people but it's something you really need to feel for yourself to understand how instant these electric motors react.
Jason, thanks for sharing your awesomeness. Love these sort of videos. Could listen to you talk cars.
Watched many Tesla reviews but yours is really interesting to watch as you explain everything with facts and science.
Actually, being induction motors, there are no discrete poles on the rotor. Instead, each of the three phase windings on the armature (stator) has four poles. A common misconception is that the armature is the part that moves, but in electrical machinery, it is the part in which power conversion takes place. In this case that is the stationary "stator" part of the machine.
I drove the P100D a few weeks ago. It really is the best car in the world. I was completely stunned by the torque! And the handling on curvy roads is totally amazing. Just have to save up 200 000 USD...
Sipp actually only 110000, max our at 145000. 200,000 is teaching roadster level
Literally you explain the whole magnetic motor part so good....I didn’t get it at first but know I do
6:41 bug fix coming in the next software update. :)

On the road to 2 millions subs! Been with you since you were only at 100k. Congrats man!
Love the split screen integration.
3:17 Sometime in the future, Jason will be saying to his grandkids: "Teleport?! Back in my day, I had to drive a Tesla Model S! Uphill! Both ways!"
Finally, I've been looking forward to you doing a video on these cars. Next you should do a video about the safety engineering aspect of these cars. They are rated the safest cars.
Glad you enjoyed it! I did do a segment in this video about the safety related aspects (obvious not a full video on it).
@@EngineeringExplained thanks for the reply. I thoroughly enjoy your explanations. Recently there was a teardown of the Model 3 and the "expert" claimed that there were cost effective measures that Tesla could employ that would cheapen and speed up production. In thinking that the "excessive" engineering is put in to increase the safety of the vehicles. I was hoping that you'd do a deeper dive into these cars. That would be awesome. I loved the video.
Loved how the acceleration makes you smile. I have the same experience in my X.
I test drove one on a test track and SPORT mode was unbelievably responsive. The gas pedal with the "engine brake" (recuperation) was just fabulous. The track had lots of corners and little hills and it was just so easy to go really fast and get the Tesla sideways on all 4 wheels. Beautiful. Range and recharging times are a pitty, though.

Dam right. Been running this tech for years.

@@julianbonskilzz Electric powered vehicles have been around for over 100 years and actually had more marketshare than gas engines at one point in time. They waned because the economics did not favor this form of technology for automobiles.
That "Oh my!" at around 6:00....funniest thing I've seen this morning.
I had a 97 F350 CrewCab Dually and it handled way better than my 2000 Monte Carlo around corners. The thing weighed more than double what my Monte does. It blew my mind.

Mind boggling that this car is designed and manufactured in the USA. Let's hope Tesla can maintain this technological innovation without slacking off once profitable. It will be interesting to see what the Germans come up with.
It's shocking to me how much progress was made just on the S alone. If the next gen of the S and X had even 15% gains in battery density and motor efficiency, then they've completely solved range anxiety. I agree other cars are going to catch up very quick (wtf are Honda and Toyota doing though) but we don't know what tricks tesla has for their next gen, on top of the existing charging network

Will watch on bus ride into work...but, I'm going to guess you are blown away!? I've driven a Model S 90D and the car was insanely amazing, I can't imagine a P100D :o
Thanks Justin, it's a wild car!!
BTR Justin I drove a P90D NO ludicrous and my wife was screaming at me to stop. I can’t imagine that car having a full second less to 0-60. Oh god if I had the money...

Best Tesla anatomy/physiology lesson ever
Thanks professor!!!!!!
The first time out of thousands of Tesla videos watched someone has ever explained how they are actually powered. Well done sir on an actual informative video. Love your work
The model S P100D use 3ph induction motors, i.e. there are no permanent magnetic poles on the rotor. The "4 poles" represent 4 poles per phase or 2 pole pairs per phase i.e. 2 north and south per phase on the stator. The magnetic field excitation is inducted into the rotor via copper bars i.e. a squirrel cage by the relative speed of the rotating field of the stator and rotor.
Correct, the rotor does not use permanent magnets for poles, the poles are induced. (Explained here: czcams.com/video/EWZkFX48vu0/video.html)
Correct. There really isn't a physical count of the number of poles on the rotor in this case. The induced fields from the four poles (12 total because of three phase) on the stator gives the electromagnetic appearance of four poles on the rotor.
I'm a golfer and on the golf courses they either had electric carts or gas carts. As you can guess the electric carts accelerated so much faster, and I would always say (many years ago) why don't they just make cars like this?
Cause after a while, the electric ones dont accelerate anymore.
@@Wiikendzgoodmix Because of the oil company's :(
Politics largely, electric cars came out 40 years ago. California politics falling in line to propaganda feed to the people of California by competing companies, it's actually an interesting bit of history to study. Very similar situation and outcome do to uneducated public just believing whatever pamphlet they see, much like the reefer madness campaign in how it manipulated the public.
@@jaydunbar7538 Electric cars came out the same time as gasoline cars, google Baker Motor Vehicle and Detroit Electric.
Battery energy density and charging time have always been a limiting factor. And yeah, politics.
Thanks for all the info... the magnetic tech is simple yet mindblowing

Lol and the main argument made by the gas guzzlers is that electric cars have no soul, yet Jason had the biggest smile on his face the whole damn time.
So much fun!!
Why doesn’t this comment have 400 likes yet?
The Tesla is very good in the city, accelerating in a straight line and on the highways; but on mountain roads (and I mean Alpine mountain roads, not those huge things you got there on that side of the pond) you feel its weight. And that's normal, that's not a sports car... Which makes what it does even more impressive.
Imagine a Rimac C_2...
I would love to have it beside my gasoline turbo, for its pure performance.
Even dough it haves no soul.
Anankin12 You definitely feel the weight especially when exiting a tight turn where you pushed it near its limits. There's enough of over-steering from the inertia at the moment when you want to catapult it out of the turn in the straight line to make it something to factor in your handling. That said scaling Alpine mountain roads like there is almost no slope is always pure joy (the descent is less joyful and only fun, I'll concede that).
These are, more precisely, 3-phase 4-pole AC induction motors. The rotor is asynchronous versus the rotating magnetic field of the stator.
The Leaf and the Model 3 uses 3-phase AC synchronous permanent magnets motors, which are a bit more efficient vs the induction motor.
so this car rotors are activated by electromagnets instead of permanent magnets? or rotors are simply carved iron attracted by stator winding pulses?
@@fidelcatsro6948 Yes. That's why they are free of Neodymium.
In an induction motor, the rotating magnetic field of the stator induces a current in the conducting rotor. This current induced in the rotor creates its own (electro)magnetic field which interacts with the stator magnetic field causing the rotor to rotate in the same direction as the rotating magnetic field. The 4 poles are related to the number of separate coils for each phase wound on the stator. This number of pokes determines the maximum speed of the motor for any given frequency.
Couldn't click on this fast enough. With you behind the wheel I knew this would be the Tesla Model S P100D review I didn't even know I was waiting for. lol
That was very cool of you to help out Omaze. Glad you finally got to drive such a cool car :)

1830's tech of the FUTURE
Exactly. Old old old tech actually... (The 3 phase induction motor part)
Very true! However, considering how much time it's counterpart has had to develop vs. its own recent development, electric cars are doing pretty well.
Bingo!
It's ironic. But then again ICE are also old as the hills.
Y'all know time is relative right? 200 years is nothing. And electric cars have only become mainstream in the past 5-10 years. It's new.
Love your videos and have sent your previous one on carbon totals to several people.
You don't quite have the induction motor 4-pole correct. The stator and the rotor have 4-poles and becuase of induction the poles on the stator drag and attract the poles on the rotor so the pedal creates magnets on the stator that induce magnets on the rotor and spin it around.
That's a much better way of explaining it, thanks for sharing! I was certainly trying to oversimplify it (as I understand the poles are induced, not permanent magnets). But yes, four poles on the stator causing the four poles on the rotor to rotate. :)
@@EngineeringExplained i figured you were giving an over-simplified version for the viewers haha
Also fun fact, Nikola Tesla was the one who invented said motor type as just one of his many many contributions.
Oh yeah I was going more with it isn't a magnet hitting another, but pulling it. So pull not push. Ha!

First rule of driving a Tesla on CZcams: Don’t forget to slam your head against the headrest to demonstrate the tremendous acceleration 😂
(I had the pleasure of being a passenger and it’s totally possible to keep your head where it is if you know when acceleration kicks in 😉)
