The Hagarty videos with Cammisa are pretty good. I really liked the one with the BW, Model S, and M5

The Jetsons noises added in post production or do they really make these? Cringe city.

I think the Lucid makes the sound, but I’m not certain.

How can they even justify bringing the old school M5. It was a bad ass car for its time. Imagine 20 years ago saying this car will be obliterated by a Duracell battery car.

lol...I remember getting embarrassed by a E39 M5 back in 2001 when I had a 1999 V6 Firebird. That bully M5 punched me in the stomach and stole my lunch money leading me to buy a WS6.

No matter what production car you have today there is no point in the race unless you have a Plaid. If you have a Plaid, how do you make it faster than any other besides changing tire/wheel ratios?

 

[Fxstc1995]

I forgot to say unless you strip the interior and make it lighter, it is already faster than any full production car ever made. I don't think a couple hundred pounds would make much difference.

You certainly cannot add power to Tesla now, but I believe overtime tuners will figure out a way to draw more power from the batteries, add batteries and swap them out. This will probably never happen for Tesla, but tuners will certainly target companies like FCA, BMW, GM, and Ford with an endless amount of speed hungry enthusiast. This will eventually happen once electric car sales equal or exceed gas engine sales. Lastly, a lot of tuners and performance shops that we know and love will probably die over time if they don't learn this new technology and/or be able to modify the performance of electric vehicles.

I couldn't agree with you more! This community regardless of brand loves our cars and playing/modifing them, it is only a matter of time before the aftermarket companies catch up to the technology and find ways to market thier products to us.

I'm still tring to wrap my head around doing a 1.9 0-60 in a stock production car on the street. That is literally twice as fast as a stock 2nd gen V, really does scare me that people that have never owned/driven very high performance cars have that kind of power on demand, can get away from you in a hurry.

There is a great tuner/shop out here EnglishRacing.net, that purchased a Model 3 to learn about them.
After what he’s done with the Evo, Sti, Talon, GTR, Integra, his V2, recently purchased R8, I’m excited to see what they can do with the 3.

That should be interesting. The only thing that worries me with attempting to modify a Tesla powertrain is the belief that Tesla would immediately be notified if something was altered. This may trigger a flag warning and they could void your warranty and even disable the power charging function.

I’m sure a company like EnglishRacing.net is fully aware of that possibility and could care less about it, but the average owner will not want to take that risk.
