Man that Tesla is one quick toaster!
But at the same time love the footage of both the Caddy and M5 drifting. But not the Tesla. Because it can't.

Even if they do give it track mode to drift, I think that Yoke would cause some injuries in trying to do so!

and 2) 3 P? Sounds like what most people go to the bathroom for. I know electric cars can do all of this stuff, except for filling tanks in 3 minutes. But they don't do anything fun, because they are made to be appliances.

My point is that in order to do this, you have to pull a wheel speed sensor. Plenty of discussion on this in the Tesla forums. The Stability control system is not defeatable by a button or setting. You have to disconnect hardware, and that informs Tesla by their connected module. Not what you want.

He probably didn't select the right modes for M5CS as well as not understanding what paddles are for. Having said all that, yes, he's a Porsche guy and yes, Porsches are the only car where the computer does a better job at selecting gears than a human. For me, that's not a good thing but I'm sure some folk like it that way. As for the Plaid. That thing is nuts. Like strapping a missile to the ass of a guy with no interest or skill in driving that went out to buy some luxury whitegood. It's really not going to end well for these people. This Adam Sandler tribute guy makes good videos though. I'd still take the M5CS all day every day over those other two things. I think it will go down as the pinnacle of M5ness. A category BMW invented and perfected. The swan song to a category defining icon. |

Re: Randy Pobst.
Dude races cars for a living. He almost certainly knows how to use paddles. I imagine it is intentional to not use them, just letting the gearbox sort itself out. By doing that in every single car he tests he would be able to get a more consistent result than him relying on himself to trigger the shift from one car to the next. With the car doing the timing of the shift it's like-for-like test result without any of his intervention except steering, throttle, and brake input. I do think it is hilarious that some absolute nobody from down under is legit saying they think a race car driver doesn't get how an automated gearbox works and that he can change the gears himself. |

Thanks for the insight. Maybe he should shift according to suggested gear display for manual then? Same concept really as it will also increase lap times by putting you in the wrong gear for best performance. Probably save fuel though.

When I think of a Tesla Smoking it's either the brakes struggling or the smoke stacks from the coal burning powerplants helping supply the outrageous Amp output the Tesla Superchargers require.

Interesting, the Blackwing had the lead out of the last turn and only loses to Plaid on the long straight to the finish line. I wonder if the Blackwing had the auto if it would have made a difference? The Plaid would be way ahead if it didn't have such pathetic brakes.
