Thanks Mischa for the drive and review of our Nurburgring development car. We are glad you are seeing the potential of our braking and suspension upgrades! We are excited for the future of our Nurburgring development program. A lot more in store! Big thanks as well to our partners at Atomic!
The brake kit is street legal in germany? Does it have an ABE? Do you have a link?
And also did you encounter qny problems with the system when installing sport seats? I guess Autopilot wont work anymore, right?
Will there be a rear big brake kit for non-performance (and stealth performance)?
@@johnmolloy4878 that brake kit fits in all model 3 and model Y models. Or at least website say all models.
@@romansenger2322 everything is functional, except obviously electrical seat adjustment
It’s amazing how quick the Tesla model 3 performance is on the Nurburgring
Lol....
@@carholic-sz3qv what?
Yes it is quick but not fast. That GT4 is fast but the Tesla will murder it from the stop light.
It will be amazing if it does not overheat within one lap, but so far it does not work well on track
@@IR-xy3ij if it is cold outside, it won't overheat.
It is incredible how far Unplugged Performance has come in just a few years. Their Pike's Peak run with Randy Pobst is epic. It'd be interesting to know how they did in the eco-GP.
I'm buying a M3P on Monday. They previous owner installed Unplugged performance suspension kit, unplugged forged wheels. So much more. The car handles like a dream. Never been to the track. Not a lot of options where i live in Oregon. 😅
I like the electric cars on the Nürburgring ,its like flying trough the landscape like a bird. Very peacefull but fast, would be easier to put on multiple laps with a car with less noise. Robert should buy one to have conversations in.
And for long journeys the lack of noise is 🤌
Way less distracting than a gas car for sure. Seems like you can focus way more on driving due to the lack of noise.
@@JAM_2024 I never drove on a racetrack with an EV (except go kart) but when I saw in Paris the formula e you could “ear” the grip it’s really cool
@@JAM_2024 noise is how the car talks to you… it’s feedback for shifting and throttle control….
cant see anything with this sun, keeps his foot planted 180+ on the speedo 🤘🏻😁
Good thing I don't need to see!
@@mgcharoudin that was a awsome video 😎😎
I'd be interesting to see a base model 3, the RWD version without any mods. How it does without track mode or whatever upgrades, etc..
For the traction control, Tesla keeps it on 'slightly' in all situations because it's a nightmare to drive without it. You can enter 'Dyno Mode' and this disables traction control, providing full power to all motors. You just spin out if you even think about touching the accelerator, it becomes a death trap. Being an EV, there's too much 'instant torque' to the wheels, it blows them off so easily. :)
doesnt work anymore, patched.
They should decrease the gear ratio to make it have better high-end power.
No, he js track mode. With -15 it is off, but was set on -10
I love seeing those videos! It really shows the developpement of the electric performance cars and what amazing engineers are doing do help with it! Thank you Misha to cast a light on them!
I like it when Misha takes it easy, the tires clearly liked it too... now to find a Plaid?
The problem is it doesn't have track mode and horrible braking, it's only good for a few drags atm
An atomic modded Plaid then?
@@dinklebamp tesla released the performance brakes and wheels, I wonder if it changes the game
@@dinklebamp actually a track pack will be released and it’s good for multiple drag races with no issues. Go watch Tesla plaid channel on KZhead. The Taycan on the other hand goes into limp pretty quickly.
@@jonasweber9408 and Track mode
Thanks Misha! Way to go Atomic. A real improvement!
I always see that red Xsara in videos I'm a fan, looking forward to this Tesla ride! Ohhh the Cayman sounded so good passing you
Your best video so far. Loved that winter sunset light.
Electrifying
A DASHBOARD gage unit!!! Wow.. that should be huge with all Model 3 owners.
Great vid Misha.
would love to see another lap with this car!
Yeah thanks now i want those recaro Nürburgring seats
Very cool. So there is hope for a Tesla Ring mobile… very impressive given the previous tries. Congrats to Atomic
Hey Misha, great video as always, you mentioned that it still felt that some TC is still on it is, there is a short snow drifting video on my channel with M3P -10 stabilization as well, and it is visible how traction kicks in and even more it sometimes rotates front wheels(!) even though I was running 0|100 torque distribution. It drifts great though :)
Would love to see another round on the ring with the new rims and tires...
Slicing thru traffic like a Ninja and making small critics. Confidence in the build and machine that you are at ease with the speed. Amazing and EVs are only getting faster.
That looked fun and so did the mechanics too ;)
They have done a great job with this thing. The components look beefy and quite nice actually. A couple more tweaks perhaps and this thing is set.
Hi Misha, very nice video 👍🏻 How do you compare your driving experience with the one with the Polestar 2 Performance you had 2 months ago?
sounds AWESOME!!!!!
Damn impressive car mate.
Next year you need to get hands on model s plaid, that would be awesome to see.
got some Honda k20 parts from Atomic. Top service.
Great Video. So the big brake kit is TüV approved qnd road legal, so it has an ABE?
Love the Aim display! But it only gps based right? We cannot use the can data on aim dashes..Or Do you know if there is a way to do so? Brilliant work and amazing video!
Would have liked to known if they changed the battery cooling at all? I was thinking of adding a bigger inline pump plus a small rad and fan, or forced air, and if the cooling was sorted out I would like to unlock and reprogram the inverter/controller for a bit more power. Also, it would be loads of work and expense, but I would like to alter or replace the battery pack for a higher voltage to give the car more top speed plus more power without needing to alter the motors, etc, but then you may need to replace the inverters.
Merci, merci, merci pour ce moment de bonheur. / Thank you, thank you, thank you for this moment of happiness.
Looks great considering the tyres but it needs LSDs! In the thumbnail you’re lifting the inside, with open diff and all that torque the VCU must reduce torque and use braking even with “stability off”. You can hear the “hopping” from the T/C, not the suspension, in some of the heavier loaded corner exits. LSDs, or less bar stiffness with more spring, or more suspension droop might help. Can’t wait too see a lap next year with the AR1s!
Even model s plaid is built like an econobox. I don't think there will be a real performance EV that you can drive 10/10 lap after lap in the next 10 years
@@IR-xy3ij Plaid seems like it might keep full power over the course of a lap. There's also the Taycan which has been proven to keep power fairly long.
@@IR-xy3ij I can get 5 or 6 hotlaps out of my RWD Model 3 around the local roadcourses before any sort of thermal issues. There are cooling mods available for the cars as well.
@@JT-xq2hv I think the rwd model has a significant cooling advantage compared to the m3p, which has basically the same radiator setup but draws significantly more current. But in both cases there is currently no easy way of completely addressing the cooling problem, and with my slightly modified fk8 I can continue to lap at a very consistent pace until I run out of fuel. I believe that in order to completely solve the cooling problem, the battery pack has to be modified to help heat transfer into the coolant, and the air conditioning system has to be upgraded, as the cells cannot be cooled by ambient temperature air. These mods are likely too complex for the aftermarket and personally I would wait for a manufacturer to make a track-ready ev before venturing into that.
Awesome share, have a random question. The brake lights are not normal. Normally the brake light would be in the middle with a little bar. On this car it’s the driving lights that light up. Any idea why ? Is that part of a tweak or upgrade ?
cant wait seeing you drive a PLAID!
Love this!
Good video
buenos neumaticos los del tesla tienen un buen dibujo disfruta Misha
Can't wait to see Misha drive a Tesla Plaid or Roadster 2 around the track :)
Love it❤️😊, im going to get a ev in the future
Seamless acceleration…awesome track tool.
Misha, could you try to get another video of this Model 3 with the proper tires/other mods?
Hopeful that since the new lfp 2024 SR can do a full lap with no overheat or lower power degradation the new performance variation will be the same.
You can buy some apps on iOS that lets you send the car commends with Siri, such as "Siri, Open Trunk." There is some other cool automation you can use, such as to crack your windows open, disable sentry mode, and fold your mirrors in when you arrive in your home garage.
1:08 He should have changed the handling balance in corners from 50-50 to 30-70 front-rear. There are aftermarket coolers for the battery and motors. (Modifications/additions to the stock systems.)
Amazing ringtool. It could be perfect for EGP 24h races (... I guess?????)
Yes and NO )) Car was aloud to participate in slalom and put best time there, but not at 24h because of modification.
Beacuse it was filmed in autumn wouldn't the battery have a easier time due to the cooler temperature whereas the other model 3 vids where closer to summer?
when does the plaid arrive in Europe? I can't wait to see you drive one with upgraded brakes ofcourse
Next year, but the Plaid doesnt have Track Mode currently. So you cant deactivate Traction Control etc. In the forums owner complain how model 3s are faster on smaller tracks because of that
Gostei, ganda máquina!
I'm just glad Misha's phone survived this video...
very cool 😎
Best sounding car you have ever lapped! Prove me wrong! LOL
Very cool improvements! Misha, do you know if Atomic had to do anything with the software programming on say the brake ABS/stabilization system for the big brake kit? Just watched a video on a new Tesla PLAID where the brakes were locking up at the back end and spinning the car around.
Wow, what video was it?
@@sjorsangevare I hope this link to another channel doesn't piss off Misha... kzhead.info/sun/bKaoptCSqqyqea8/bejne.html
@@sickjohnson hmm, I wonder if that's a problem with the model 3 too. But I don't think so. The model 3 had been out for a couple of years so probably not.
@@sjorsangevare Hard to know, but the PLAID is so new and doesn't have a Track mode yet still...so one can only guess?
Great POV 😏😏
That red Porsche was rapid, left the Tesla eating dust!!!!
well yeah…
impressive... the silent-death :D
Je zag duidelijk jou gevecht met het stuur, dat zou dus over moeten zijn met de Nankang banden.
The front tire temp sensors seem to be the wrong way around, on right turns the right tire gets hot on the screen? 😃
how expensive are all of these mods together? I would love to have a Tesla like this, maybe one day.....
I love that tail spoiler. Can you tell me where can I get it please? Really want it. Look awesome
You guys forgot to mention @MPP Model 3 Solid Front Lower Control Arm Bearings you can see @13:13 and few other frames, i am sure all rubber front bushings are gone?! Otherwise it is not a track tool.
A bit hard to call it a track tool when it still can't do one "taking it easy" lap in cool weather with a yellow caution period without still going into reduced power mode.
You are right, its all depends of how done the lap. OEM tires brings lot of traction control intervention which is making car hot.
@@olegkucherov3898 I assume the low power mode was a result of battery temps, not brake temps. If they've turned off regen braking, I don't see how TC intervention was a factor. What am I missing? Edit: Just realized you're the Atomic guy, lol!
@@vafan13 TC constantly changing power delivery to the wheels and using brakes a lot= heating everything. You will be surprised but cars with ICE have same problems in case of high TC activities.
@@olegalex78 OK, I can see that. With ICE cars I've only heard about TC causing problems with overheating the rear brakes, which lines up with my own limited experience on track with my M5 in MDM mode. I'm certainly no expert, though.
How on earth that you could see where the track goes with those sunlight 😳
He doesnt need to. Probably could drive with closed eyes if not for traffic
WROOOOM WROOOOM BWAAAAP SOOT SOOT SOOT BWAAAAAP There... Just in case someone missed some engine noise :-)
Is it using brakes to provide “torque vectoring?” Whenever making right turns, the right tires heat up on the screen, which is opposite of what should happen.
Break steering you mean?
Loved the video 👍 what size are the new rims and tires?
It is 9x20 UP wheels with 245/35R20 NANKANG R1
You don't need to use Track Mode to launch your M3P. Track mode pumps oil through the battery to help keep it cool for long track sessions. To "Launch" your M3P (0-60 MPH), you need to have it in sport mode, have regenerative braking on, and simply smash the accelerator down. Regenerative braking does not require you to use your brake, which means you can have your foot over the accelerator pedal at all times. This improves your reaction time. So pull up to the light, have your foot over the accelerator pedal, and when the light turns green, you smash the pedal down. If you want to "Launch" even faster, you can use your GPS to locate a Supercharger, and the car will start heating up the batteries for supercharging. When the battery is hotter, it launches faster. When you are ready to launch, cancel your GPS supercharger location and then launch it. So you see, track mode does the opposite, as it keeps the battery cooler for longer track sessions and degrades your ability to launch faster.
Agree , except for the part where you said it pumps oil through the battery 🤣
Great goodies !!
Feels like Assetto Corsa when I forget to plug my headset in😂
Cayman! 💪💪💪
At the end, you didn’t talk to him about the overheating brakes and hot battery - what about cooling mods?
How lift-off oversteer works in Tesla? Does it act like spool diff when you're lifting off the throttle, so all the wheels are still under engine load, so it doesn't go into shopping trolley mode?
With regen active it will feel under load.
It actually does a lot of things to help flatter the driver, using brakes, engine and yes probably even subtle steering corrections. For instance the Model 3s is excellent with tramlining. Arrow straight with 9" wide wheels on rutted roads - where my old Audi would sniff the crowns like a terrier on speed the Model 3 just surfs along.
best modification: adding a proper dashboard screen :)
No modifications on the BMS or drive train?
love
Actually the motors are heating up too much at sole point, so their power will be limited after a while. That big batterypack needs a good while to get to a good temperature. Those batteries like it warm, the chinese M3 with the new battery type want to be heated up to about 50c for good performance!
There are aftermarket drivetrain heat exchangers now.
I just come back from the Xsara VTS video and I'd say that's the reason electric cars will never be as fun as petrol powered cars, here it feels like a walk in the park... 🥱
Damn every time after 10 minutes the battery overheats, wonder if the new m3p will be any better for track use.
hi, the extra display rear the steering wheel, which brand or product is ? culd you give me the link ?
AIM PDM32
I wish Tesla would incorporate these improvements along with those recommended by Gruber Motors to at least their performance versions. Plaid and Performance models should be the best you can get at the time of manufacture, period.
They are trying to streamline production to get cars out so top end trims with maximum preformance are not a priority, they just started started offering 20k ceramic brakes, that price alone may have kept some from buying plaid if it came included.
Awesome lap! 👍🏻 What dash is that!?
Its not really a dash it is AIM PDM32
What screen is that added to the dash??
Great! Hope that we can meet one Day in 2022 and you drive our M3P. Great vid!
Curious why they didn’t use the Unplugged Performance sway bars on this car?
Case is testing suspension with different setup to know how it will work with OEM parts.
Has anyone solved the battery overheating yet? (can the battery cooling system be modified?)
I would think full regen (one pedal) would be faster. You'd get quicker braking off throttle and reduce friction material heat.
Regen puts more stress on the batteries and causes them to over heat and hit reduced power mode sooner.
Not in any EV I've seen. Any modern EV with battery management does not stress the batteries either with charging/regen or draw.
In every EV you have ever seen. Current flow, whether charging or discharging, produces heat in the cells. That's a property of any chemical battery. All EVs manage this by a combination of BMS limits and batter cooling (either passive or active). The Tesla allows their batteries to discharge/charge at a rate that produces heat a little bit higher than the cooling system can dissipate. With continuous high current flow and heat generation in excess of cooling capacity, the heat will build up and the batteries will eventually exceed the temperature limits determined by the BSM. Some EVs prevent charge/discharge rates high enough to exceed this cooling rate, but that also makes their cars slower. With re-gen on the Tesla will go into reduced power mode at about 1/2 of a lap at the ring. With re-gen off the car can make it about 3/4 of the way through that track before triggering reduced power mode. The exact point somewhat depends on how hard the driver is pushing the car. EVs designed for racing use battery modules with increased cooling capacity. They also have higher maximum allowed battery temperatures because their BMSs aren't trying to protect a cell for a 1000 + cycles. Different chemistries and cell packaging can change an individual cells ability to dissipate heat. Also super capacitors can be used to absorb and discharge current from brake re-gen without ever touching a battery. I am not aware of any consumer cars using super capacitors at this time, but there may be a few. They are used in Electric busses, electric trains, and racing.
Misha what do u think about all the people complaining about the Tesla plaid crashes in race track because of the brakes. People who crash say that the brakes are no good in race track. That they fade way to fast.
Stock plaid brakes are useless for the track. They are even the same on the Long Range with about half the power.
Plaid is heavy, it’s not meant for track being stock. Yes it’s fast but it’s more of a 7 series than a Porsche 911.
but if it has those extra/special better brakes, why does it keep complaining about reduced brake preformance in the car doing the run, do they still overheat ? or does the system not understand/messure the new brakes correctly ?
there is no temperature sensor, just hardcoded depending on your brake usage of the pedal.
You forgot to say Thank You at 3:52.
How did it compare to the Polestar 2 run? (Performance, Handling, Brakes, Fun)
Interested to know about this too
Model 3 will spank it. Polestar 3 is heavier with much slower acceleration. This Model 3 is modified.
I'm interesting the dash display logger, plz tell me where can I got it. thx
Hi Ray, you can get it from Atomic-Shop GmbH
@@olegalex78 thank you so much
Thanks for your great content. I found you from Shmee150 keep it up my comrade 😌
Did they put in a performance exhaust? haha
How much difference do lighter wheels do for handling and overall experience?
Who do you ask? He drove the Model 3 Performance with the stock and heavy Uberturbines. You need to ask an owner who experiences his car more often and could give you a better insight.
@@romansenger2322 I meant in general. On my car I have quite heave wheels. I was wondering if it's worth getting lighter wheels at some point
I'm not even going to pretend I didn't swap wheels for the optics, so I was certainly surprised by how much the ride improved on fully forged 9x20s. Those Ubers must be really heavy. As for performance, a friend of mine made repeatable 3.1s 0-100 kph runs on Dragy so obviously there's a benefit. I'm getting wheelspin on roundabout exits where this never happened with the Ubers (same exact tires transferred over) so I personally think traction control is (at least partly) dynamically calculated and not based on individual wheel speed like on an ICE car. This car is doing highly sophisticated footwork to let us savages go much faster than an average Joe has the skillset for, lol.
@@advocatesdevil7064 i did it to my car C63 forged wheels and its more noticeable than tuning the car was. Its an overall difference in everything you do.... amazing.... changes the car unbelievably
That suspension seemed to be washing side to side , I think the placement of the shocks are not welll designed and well balanced . Can that shop add an extra motor to the existing electric motor or drive shaft for more performance like a turbo addition to a combustion engine ? Lol I must patent my idea
The battery pack is already at maximum output so an extra motor wouldn't help. The Model S Plaid however does have 3 motors because it has a bigger pack with more power output. In fact all three motors have so much power they are carbon fiber wrapped to allow for around 20,000 rpms!
@@flipadavis but the Tesla website stated that each wheel has its own ekcric motor on a Plaid? Meaning 4.. or did I get it wrong ?
@@kenrossaukrsa Only 3. 2 in rear and 1 in front.
i was supriced that it didnt have unplugged performance swaybars, traction and trailing arms.
Case is testing suspension with different setup to know how it will work with OEM parts.
@@olegkucherov3898 well that doesn't change my suprisment.
can we know how much the upgrade cost ?
