Tesla Plaid YouTuber Boils Brakes and Crashes at 170 MPH

MmmmmM2 · 06-28-2022, 11:00 AM

What an absolute maroon.

nerdogray · 06-28-2022, 11:05 AM

I still can't make the connection between being elated with a fast electric motor. It's just what they do. I can't explain it. I can't dig up a good analogy. I just don't get excited over EV's and any demonstration of "power." Slapping a horsepower rating on an EV doesn't seem apt, either.

FrankMstein · 06-28-2022, 12:05 PM

Such a moron. This will go down in history with Rob Dahm's, Mazzai's, and others experience of how NOT to drive track. I made a "racecar" so I am a racecar driver man...OFFS. People, wear a helmet and change your fluid - basics. Cletus shirt was a clue.

///MPhatic · 06-28-2022, 12:54 PM

He needed more shakedown for sure.

MmmmmM2 · 06-28-2022, 12:55 PM

The many levels of stupid in this video is really astounding!

It is like going to a BBQ and being excited by a lentil salad instead of the sausages, beef patties and bacon on the grill itself.

What does he mean when he keeps referring to the "regen"?

..Rush.. · 06-28-2022, 02:09 PM

Electric fan motor on batteries and wheels.

TTV8M · 06-28-2022, 03:40 PM

so what went wrong.......... did he change the brakes to ceramic?

CYANiDE · 06-28-2022, 04:02 PM

The fact that he talks about new brakes/bleeding and then proceeds to go straight to 170mph on the track is nuts. Should have had those brakes smoking hot before hand doing some hard stops.

Alfisti · 06-28-2022, 04:12 PM

I know less about the mechanicals of a car than I do about women, and even i know not to hit the track HARD after having brakes bled. Stark, raving, mad.....no matter the car.

Donatello. · 06-28-2022, 04:33 PM

Just changed the brakes & immediately goes 170 & crashes. Shocking. Another more $ than brains

Z K · 06-28-2022, 05:37 PM

What an idiot... a 1000hp 5000lb car in the hands of someone with zero track experience is a deadly weapon.

He stripped his car of all the stock safety equipment, then replaced the brakes without flushing with high temp brake fluid, then decide to test said new brakes on a 160mph+ entry into a corner... that's Darwin at work.

He did not add DOT4 brake fluid and boiled the DOT3 which caused his brakes to go out.

Most cars will let you out-accelerate what your brakes can handle on a track, EVs do it faster for sure. This is one of the primary skills you learn when you start racing. You can definitely "go faster" in places...but you can't carry more speed into a turn or slow down too late from a higher speed. It won't work. You increase the speed, you have to increase the distance at which you start to slow down...by a lot. There's likely not a tire/brake combo that will handle slowing from 170 down to what was required for that turn for that weight of car, which would be the same if it was a AMG E or M5.

They put dot3 in this when they bled the brakes!?? I mean, who even has dot3 fluid? Why would it even come from the factory with dot3?

Removing all the factory safety features without cage, harness, helmet etc is similarly moronic.

He's referring to regenerative braking. When I did the UDE this year, they had us run the course initially in "B" mode which is with regenerative braking active. I also got to run the course with "B" mode turned off.

What track has police respond to a crash? Unless there was something special about this crash?

Maybe they were thinking of arresting him for being so damn stupid?

Because most cars are designed for mouth breathers on tiktok so they can mash the accelerator and think they're doing something cool or skilled. It's why ///M has fallen so hard. I'd rather watch paint dry.

^ Great video and the ending sums up the current state of car design.
