0-60 in 2.42s and 265's in the rear, crazy.
They look far nicer than original and the aftermarket ones you had, imo.
Sexiest sedan on planet earth. One of the sexiest car designs ever. So clean and simple and sleek and sexy. Design perfection.
Keep 'em coming, love your vids.....very thorough and detailed explanations with no fluff!
Nice editing job on this video. I liked the sped up wheel install with the VH1 fun facts and elapsed time.

Nice video! I like that you show the details in weight and what difference it makes to the acceleration, thumbs up!

Take the trim out like Elon says and maybe take out some other weight, I would love to see how fast you could get that thing to move.
0-60MPH in 2.42 seconds... Just Insane!!!
Your garage is insane!
DragTimes Have you tried with custom carbon fiber rims???
Looking good arachnid wheel love them
woot! my titanium lug nuts are looking like a more effective weight savings method than ever :p the new wheels make the car look classy again. I wonder how tire wear lightened up the old wheels though, so maybe these do offer weight savings in the rear.
The silvers look great. Couldn't see the black ones looking better.

Could you please re run this test with the arachnids vrs the 21" oem cast wheels? I also have a tesla MX and hope to be getting some arachnid wheels with my referral code soon, it says they're for MS but will they fit the MX? Also point of interest, I have a Mini Cooper that had the heavy run flat tyres on, and changed them for nom run flats which were 8lbs lighter. I ran the car on a dyno and it made a 2hp difference. Obviously it was front wheel drive so this should be doubled to 4hp equivalent increase in hp over both axles. Also I assume this means equivalent of 4hp less force required to stop the car? Would love to know what effect these have between the heaviest and lightest. Thanks
MUCH MORE COOL LOOKING !
How do you get that display of peak motor power, acceleration ,etc??
carbon fiber wheels would probably have made a noticeable difference
I like the ones that you took off the vehicle more give it a more aggressive look
Is the car lowered? Besides being in the lowest setting on the air suspension? Thanks
Best oem Tesla wheels to date, but wished the offsets were a little more aggressive.
I'm Looking for Black wheels for my Model X 19 inch so I can still Tow. Can you recommend ? Thanks
What do you do for a living
The 19" rear wheels with a "low-profile" tire or tire having a substantially reduced tread circumference should provide an effective reduction in gearing thus likely lower 0-60 time. Also 19" or smaller forged lighter wheels could enhance 0-60 times. Thanks for the great videos! :-)
those new wheels are sexy
are they 21x 8.5 and 21x9 or 9 and 10 wide? I can't find aftermarket in 8.5 and 9. only 9 and 10. will it rub
Are the new-installed tires 21-inch?
Last time I asked about slicks you kindly replied it did not spin. Now I hear pretty often that it spins at 0-60. Would you think slicks might improve now? Maybe even smaller diameter drag slicks on light rims to sort of emulate a lower rear axle gearing which seems to be popular for dragracing. 0-60 it should still pull well I think. Thanks again for good videos!

with the increase in power and L+ it does sometimes spin a little on the street, not at the track though.... smaller wheels and drag slicks could help a little...

not to mention that milwaukee cordless should have the power to take those lugs off. My milwaukee 1/4" impact had enough oomph to take the lugs and the CRANKSHAFT BOLT off of my ranger (and another crankshaft bolt on another ranger)
if i were you, i would put 19 inch light wheels.

saving rotating mass is actually a big performance help. Reduces wasted power. I guess you race tonka trucks though. If you ever race a real car you'll learn.

@jimmmyz169

That gets me thinking though, instead of the weight, would the size of the wheel make a difference? A bigger wheel so one revolution covers more ground to make use of that instant torque?
@mrburgermaster

Jimmy M A larger diameter tire than oem effectively makes your drive ratio taller, which would hurt acceleration from a stop.
@jimmmyz169

How so? ELI5 request. I'm thinking of that magnetic motor creating that instant torque vs conventional combustion engine.
@AbdulRehman-lj6ms
7 жыл бұрын
Jimmy M The torque applied by the motor shaft will be the same. but since torque = force × radius of tire, increasing the radius decreases the force the tire applies to the ground, hence decreasing the initial acceleration which is equal to a = F ÷ mass of the car.
All I can think of how to go even faster, is to race it at the highest altitudes possible. To me, a base P100D without premium Interior/Hi fidelity sound isn't worth it.

The Tesla Racing Channel was not invited to do this program? Seems like he should get a set as well, no? In fact if they don't give him a set then I am going to begin to wonder what they are thinking? That kid has been racing that Tesla quite often. So who is this guy, he must have some pull or money or something. He also gets a GT Ford?
