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!

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 😂

"Oh my" that my friends is why people like cars.
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).
He is one of the honest commentators (and also one of the genuine) I have ever seen on KZhead so far. Just an engineer who is straight to the point!

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.
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.
as far as the transmission and gearbox... lol. made me laugh. great video
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
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!"
I love how detailed & specific you are when explaining something. It makes the understanding aspect of a subject a lot easier. Very nice work.
I have been waiting so long for you to make this video. Awesome. I am only about 5 seconds into the video at this point but you already have the Tesla smile on your face and you haven't even driven it yet! Massive!
Jason, You're movin' on up from explaining volumetric efficiencies with a 3" Titanium single exit Amuse exhaust to explaining electromagnetism :)
Next video, "How warp drive works"
Fun video! Looks like a lot of fun :) Great cause too. You passed a couple sweet 911s along the way ;)
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).

@@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.

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.

Love your videos, surprised you never drove a TSLA before. I love my P100D, happy to see you like it too. Great video, thanks.
Jealous of your ride, that's awesome!!
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.
The P100D is one of the coolest cars ever, even with the flaws it has. I'd love one.
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!!

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).
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
Wow, glad you got to drive one! Looks awesome. I'm not one who feels that all cars need to be electric, but I love the idea of a performance electric car. Think about it: you press the pedal, and as fast as electricity travels through the wires, you get a response. Wow!

I just drove one last week. The salesman asked me to just give him a heads up before I punched it each time so I wouldn't hurt his neck! We definitely felt some Gs. It was ludicrous!
I hope someone lets you try a Model 3 Performance. It's not as quick but the handling might be better. Plus you could explain the SR PMAC motor in the rear.
From an engineering perspective, i am just so shocked how that single gear drive train is able to handle such immense loads from that high acceleration. The loads would surely be much higher than any other shaft /gearbox combo a car has seen before?
That "Oh my!" at around 6:00....funniest thing I've seen this morning.
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

Its beautifully designed. I really love that front end. I honestly think it has the most attractive headlights on any car.
Thanks for all the info... the magnetic tech is simple yet mindblowing
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: kzhead.info/sun/eLuTm6qQa2qsqGg/bejne.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.
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.
Best car reviews period..thanks
So very kind, thank you for watching!
I been waiting for u to test drive the p100d for the longest i wanted to see ur reaction
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...
I drove a 70D (awd with 245kW) 3 years ago and afterwards my AMG A45 (280kW awd) felt slow off the mark when I drove home. I knew then I’d get my next car with at least some electric hybrid. At the M3 launch day, I reserved that day. The P100D I drove last year was so easy and rapid - my sons comment was priceless - he said he wondered why anyone would want to make/buy a gas car anymore!
@@kdkd693 There's a lot more to cars than just pure acceleration
@@Wildmilly Yes, like no gears/transmission or shifting! 😁
.24 drag coefficient with the bug on the windshield :)
It's great to get the good feedback from you Jason! Should be pretty gnarly when Porsche comes out with their all electric car!
Phenomenal video and happy you finally got the chance to test out the P100D. Technological masterpiece of this era. I have one recommendation for the video though. You mentioned that the car is “fast” multiple times, but I think better and more proper terminology is “quick.” I used to use the two interchangeable until I became a cult follower of Tesla (lol), and in relation to other high-end cars, a 155 mph top speed is nothing. Just a thought! Have a great weekend 😊
I’m a bit late, but the 155mph top speed is electronically limited. A lot of performance cars nowadays have their top speed limited to around 155mph, so there’s no telling exactly how fast the Tesla model S really is (although, with almost 700hp and a super low drag, I bet it could go over 300km/h).
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! Anyway all these videos are so awesome. Ivm getting a 370Z soon and keep watching mustang versus 370Z.
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.
Great verbalizing, you can translate the thing into worlds very accurately. Tesla? I'm completely sold to the idea and the vehicle.
I'm glad you finally got a chance to drive one of these cars as now you know just what that "Wow!" factor really feels like. I wish you would have went and experienced the new Tesla Roadster as that is a whole other level of "Wow!" Put it this way if you put a clip with a $100 bucks on the dash you would not be able to get it from 0-75 mph as that much torque just pins you in the seat. Anyway it was good to see you experience that "Wow!" factor.
can we have electroboom try out this performance tesla car?? might as well colab with EE!!!
mehdi will love it
EE drinking game - every time Jason says “crazy” take a shot. If he says “crazy fast” make it two shots.
Great video, nicely explained. I love my MS75D, even it’s plenty fast enough. Just one thing, the reason for nice progressive braking is that the brake pedal only applies friction brakes, it does not blend regen and friction unlike some other EVs. You will, of course, have regen as well as your foot is off the throttle.
Frank Taylor Yeah that’s a real shame. My current PHEV blends the two, and I really like that system! It also has flappy paddles which increase or decrease regen, which is awesome.
Great video. Tesla actually under quotes the times of the lesser models, I guess to differentiate from the P100D. The actual times are: 75D best of 3.7 at high state of charge but around 4.0 mostly 100D 3.6 P100D 2.28 with Ludicrous+ and light factory wheels, either the 19s in this video or the Arachnid 21s which are both lighter than the standard 21s. Also all seat materials are vegan, leather is not used anymore apart from the steering wheel cover. Oh and the front reduction gear is a different ratio to the rear so you can cruise efficiently at highway speeds using the small motor. This is the reason why the dual motor cars actually have more range than the lighter rear drive cars with the same battery pack.
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.

Awesome video! Glad you finally got change to test drive it! I also test drove it in tesla store and I would recomend everyone to do it also. You don't have to be buying it when you do :D It's unlike any car I have driven!
First rule of driving a Tesla on KZhead: 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 😉)
Haha, as mentioned I relaxed to illustrate the acceleration. You can certainly brace for it.
Engineering Explained Was not a critic, just wanted to point out almost everybody does it or at least I feel like seeing it in every Tesla video 😉
We laughed at Elon. Now hes putting a different sort of smile om our face.
bob jones You might have laughed at Elon? - I never did!
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they hate you and then you win.
That was very cool of you to help out Omaze. Glad you finally got to drive such a cool car :)
First off, nice video allow me to say that. Second, Where are you recording this video at? The scenery is great
At last you test drive a decent car! 😀 You might indeed call it ludicrous LOL :-) “Oh my!” Love your videos by the way!
FutureSystem738 Agree!
He almost went into plaid.........
I wonder how many will actually understand this reference.
I got that reference
Best movie ever.
@Santiago Shhhh, don't say it out loud! Haha
Is that when someone throws up on the dash?
Welcome to Cali!! Hope you enjoyed your drive on hwy 2. :)
2:00 this short explanation about electric motors is more informative than an hour's lecture on the same topic. who needs a professor when you've got Engineering Explained?
You need to pay more attention during lecture. Perhaps go to lecture more prepared so you can relate and absorb more. The info here was extremely basic... very clear, but not rich.
@@chisquare5701 Please, chill. Also, it's common knowledge that profs are terrible at providing quick, concise explanations, instead often feeling the need to delve into hours of technical drivel whether or not it is relevant. Not saying this is a replacement of a true in-depth technical analysis, it was more of a jab at dull lectures being the unfortunate norm.
