Tesla PLAID: Why It Pushes The Limits Of Physics

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

FLO Home X5: bit.ly/3mZLtWR
Elon Musk has said that the Tesla Model S Plaid features some of the most advanced secret technology on earth. What are these "practically alien" innovations he's referring to?
The plaid features a few key upgrades that push the limits of physics and make it different than any Tesla before it. The Model S Plaid has a special drag strip mode to produce maximum acceleration for racing and demonstration.
But what makes the plaid's powertrain different than any other electric car on the road?
The rear motor assembly is the Plaid's most significant upgrade.
It consists of two souped up Model 3 drive units placed back to back, housed symmetrically inside a precision aluminum subframe. These rear motors are coupled directly to each wheel with a single speed transmission. All 3 permanent magnet synchronous reluctance motors contain an innovative carbon fiber sleeved rotor instead of a traditional metal sleeved rotor.
On twitter Elon Said, The Plaid carbon-wrapped motor is arguably the most advanced motor on Earth outside of maybe a lab somewhere. We have to keep some secrets!
It appears a software update can unlock double century speed, but you might need some hardware upgrades, if you want to be able to stop.
A curious listing for a Plaid Carbon Ceramic Brake kit popped up on Tesla's website, and It seems Tesla is waiting to ship this improved stopping power, before they unlock 200MPH to regular customers.
The Tesla Plaid maintains an understated appearance with subtle hints that it contains something extra ordinary, but somehow still manages the lowest drag coefficient of any production car ever built.
The record ¼ mile speed for the plaid is is 9.081 seconds at 154.10 mph, and the car produces 1,020 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque.
Tesla is setting the table for fully autonomous driving with a smaller, more compact steering profile in the form of a yoke that reduces central gauge cluster obstruction.
In the plaid S, they have scaled down the battery capacity from 104 kilowatt hour to a slightly smaller 100 kilowatt hour pack with improved cooling and electrical architecture. The goal is to ensure the battery can meet the high performance requirements of the Plaid without overheating or losing power.
This might be the last plaid Tesla we see with the old cells before Tesla makes the switch to those big soda cans currently slotted for the Model Y, Semi, and cybertruck.
The Tesla Model S Plaid is a car for practical folks that appreciate performance over showiness, and want to ride on the bleeding edge of technological progress, and when all comparisons to your daily driver sedan are with seven figure hyper-cars, you know you're in good company.

    Musk's customer base has always been left leaning people who want to stop using fossil fuels and stop global warming. Now Musk is attacking his own customer base as he blames them for being influenced by Peter Thiel to buy Twitter and bring Trump back for the 2024 election. Yet, Twitter increased its revenues by 36% by dumping Trump. Why risk Tesla stock to buy Twitter which is nothing more than a digital boxing ring? Who cares who is and is not on Twitter? I have followed Tesla since 2005, I was a big supporter of electric cars when most people said it was nonsense, I even had an electric car website in 2009. Musk has created the electric car market by buying Tesla's engineering and getting government funding. But now he has gone into politics, and rather than do what he does best, he has chosen to join the childish political divisions that produce nothing. I used to admire Musk now I really would like to see him leave the country. I'm sick of the Musk circus, the constant Musk hype like his phony man in a robot suit show. Let’s get back to being adults. Musk can just go back to South Africa, we got it from here. We really don't need him any longer.

    The plaid is the greatest car of all time. By a mile. Not just the unique performance, but the safety, the convenience, the software, the FSD, the zero emissions range and all of that in a car that seats 5 and has more room than a Camry... Unreal.

    Really ? This is not true info for the 5 seater cars since Mercedes EQS and Lucid Air have both cars with even lower drag coefficient of -0,200 much less than Tesla S -0,208 ! But overall the EQS or Lucid Air are not the most aerodynamic production cars ever made as the clip above suggest at 5:49 because that record is jointly held by other 2 much older cars : 1996-1999 GM-EV1 and the phenomenally weird, Europe-only Volkswagen XL1, (produced from 2013 up to 2016) both had similar drag coefficient -0.186..
