Massive respect for the passenger. Misha was more scared than her😅

What.... 300kmh into Schwedenkreuz is absolutely insane..

4:58. Passenger glances at the speed. 4.58->5.05. She maintains a veneer of calm but a gleam of fear. 5.05. She raises her eyebrows. 5.06. Misha exhales and exclaims "ok, i'm good". She laughs with relief that she's still alive. This is better than a thousand reviews.

it must be absolutely terrifying for other drivers on the track that have no idea a silent rocket is about to fly past them

The only drivers that used the turning signals were the BMW drivers, what a time to be alive!

The way it just launches out of a corner. We now are used to electric car but this still is in a league of it's own

Around 39 kWh of energy used in one lap, quite impressive amount to put out in around 8 minutes. And gives an average of around 290 kW (390 Hp) used any given second, and that's including braking so the average while on power (with an estimate that 35% of the laptime is braking) while accelerating would be around 450 kW (600 Hp). Crazy.

Fascinating how the tire pressure has increased to 3 bars by the end of the lap from tires heating up

That 300+ came with a severe brown trouser moment. That looked like one hell of a struggle when braking!!

Misha touching grass at 303 through Kotenborn to Schwedenkreuz while the happy passenger grins maniacally is my kind of video 😅😎

From 95% to 52% in one lap is crazy

Your driving was fantastic, to my opinion just the perfect balance between safety and speed 👍 I am glad you have a healthy amount of respect/fear for what you are doing. Those who don't have that sensibility will not make if for too long. Good luck!

The acceleration makes it a complete weapon.

4:50: 87% 5:07: 82% That max speed stretch to Schwedenkreutz gave the battery something to think about! 😅 Also, the max indicated speed was 306 for a split second. 😮

wicked driving and perfect display setup, got me in the zone

Respect to tires! What a grip and durability on pressure they have.. totaly great

5:45 is extremly impressive, you can see the acceleration.

What gets me is watching the cars disappear in the rear-view. Guaranteed every single one of the other cars coming out a corner were accelerating hard, but that Tesla just left them in the dust! incredible

Them tires really doing alot of work went from 35psi to 43psi when hot and the 100-190 is just nuts going from 60mph avg high way speed to 118mph under 4 sec is a different type of feeling for sure

one of the best videos of urs! just because of the tyre sounds at the turns💯💯👍🏽

I like how out of every hard corner, it just rushes back up to 200+km/h in just a few seconds

The Plaid is insanely quick! Me thinks Misha's sphincter factor went up a few notches on that 306 kph run when he started braking for the turn.

That looks like a win for Tesla and the Model S Plaid. I am impressed as to how well it performs there at the ring. You can perceive a couple of its down sides, but for a family sedan, it is Amazing! You can tell that the power and handling is very good. With time, the main down side will improve. The main thing is weight, but that's just the way the tech is at the moment. Manufacturers are investing billions in battery tech, so it will improve over time. At strength for the tech is that the balance is excellent, and the center of gravity is difficult too beat. I am also very amazed and impressed that it is compared to one of the Italian carmakers best, the Ferrari SF 90 Stradalle. One of my favorites from the brand. They say it could have more power, but for driving dynamic, it just isn't necessary. I hope we hang onto combustion tech, but we can't sell Gas after 2035. So for combustion, my hopes are with Toyota and their methods. Toyota is experimenting with Hydrogen and ammonia, that was a surprise to me, Ammonia. I hope Toyota can figure out how to reach Zero Carbon without the downside of Noxides of nitrogen.

Amazing!!! I have never seen a car with such an acceleration like that. It’s crazy

"Such a slingshot of a machine." Perfect way to describe how this car accelerates out of the corners. Just insane!

I don't think i've ever seen 300+kph in that section of the track, the plaid is mind-bending

Sheesh even i was clinching my ass hearing all those tire squeeks and seeing how fast you were going through corners. This is your second run in the Plaid right and it was mind blowing seeing how shook you were for a split second there 😂 incredible job

Fast lap! Incredible speed - Great driving Misha

305kmph = 189.5mph thats just crazy for a family car and the acceleration is unbelievable. great video.

It was impressive how the passenger enjoyed the lap and didn't seem scared, mad respect

306 vmax at 4:59! Wow. And that lady is one cool passenger. I'd have been a gibbering wreck. Respect to both of you, and that beast of a family commuter car.

Went in both the Plaids before they came to EU. I always wanted to share with people how fast a properly sorted superbike with a good rider is, now you can experience that in a Plaid. The acceleration is different, you actually feel it more in them because you sit upright. On a bike it's closer to how you feel gravity when standing, so it's not the same. Incredible machines and so docile to drive, but you know underneath that pedal is an absolute mountain of energy waiting for you.

5:01 I've never seen so much tension in Misha's eyes :D :D

the first time I've seen Misha hanging on for dear life. What a beast of a tesla. Was an amazing lap.

Love how chilled she was, she wasn't styling it out, she really was 100% comfortable with the run.

That thing can move. Acceleration is amazing out of the corners. And handles alot better than i thought it would

I'm not the biggest Tesla fan but also far from being a hater and what this thing did here is just amazing. It made serious cars look like they are parked on the side of the road.

That was, simultaneously, one of the quickest and most silent laps I've seen Misha drive.

306Km/h and something like 7.58 minutes per lap with traffic.... No words INSANE and just the tires sound.... love love

I like how the bar indicator increases as you drive through turns :)

The acceleration when needing to pass people quick is crazy

She's one cold blooded girl staying so composed while Mischa was basically fighting for his life 😂😂

I drive Renault Zoe, so I know, what it is like to tame such a beast... okay, jokes aside. This was brutal power, very Geiger style sounds and brave co-pilot of course

Really great video! i felt like i was holding my breath half the time watching this😂 Also, i had no idea the tire pressure changes that much!? That is crazy! Hat's off to both of you.

4:59 306 km/h tops on the speedo - nice!

Sandra handle herself very calmly. Wow, that Plaid is next level. $89k base and 109k with track package. That is the best value....😊

the overtake and acceleration past is CRAZY !

Insane speed is right lol! How the passenger was so calm and enjoying it all was amazing too. I would be after filling even my shoes with crap if I was in her seat I reckon. Absolutely wiped the track with everything else too. Brilliant video and amazing car. Thanks 😎

Yep, 306kph (190mph) is definitely the quickest car I've seen Misha drive though that section and I think he might have just puckered up a bit when he went to brake. :)

5:02 That was some serious code brown moment, the kind you only breathe some seconds after... 6:21 And yeah, slingshot defines well this car, the acceleration is insane...

Thanks for the video and Stay safe ✌️.

That was very close to losing it at Schwedenkreuz. Crazy how calm your passenger was.

Dear god this acceleration was scary. Big respect for driving it like this. And the cornering speeds on ps4 and this heavy car was even more impressive. Can’f imagine how this is going to perform on semi slicks. And she is even more beautiful than Sandra Bullock. Also how she is smiling the entire lap at these speeds. truly a gift from god.

Plaid is insane. Usually it is the passenger taking deep breaths, but first time I see Misha taking deep breaths... 300km/h for a non-sports car is just insane... Also Sandra bullock was great passenger...

Love that G-force meter. Puts things into context.

it outpowers the corners, that thing is amazingly quick

The only emission happening in this video was Misha shitting his pants at 5:04 ;-) Handled with proper care, like you did, this car is just a real life cheat code. Core strength of your passenger was impressive as well. Keep up your good work and stay hungry & humble!

Battery 95% at start of lap, 53% by end of lap, impressive! ❤️🇦🇺

Saw this right after the SF90 lap....then decided to watch them side by side to see which was faster lap. I gave the Tesla video a slight head start, the SF90 pulled ahead by some margin but got held up by the yellow flag delay, after which I saw both cars go into the Carousel (I think it's called) at exactly the same time, then the SF90 started pulling ahead again, and Tesla was getting reduced power... At the end, the SF90 passed the finish 5s ahead of the Tesla. Lots of variables with other cars on the track I know, but still epic to watch.

As a petrolhead who has never ever dreamed of owning a Tesla, I've got to admit I would've loved to have been in that Audi at 4:52 That must have been unreal seeing that thing fly by

6:18 - you can absolutely see the massive slingshot acceleration ! 🚀🚀🚀 80 to 160 in like 2 sec . 😐

4:53 The way this car picks up speed around 250 km/h shows that 300 km/h is not even close the limit but the traction and the length of the straight are getting the limiting factor really fast.

Every time i blink my eyes that spedoo just rockets . Damnnn

O M G she is a goddess in the passenger seat probably the best passenger you have ever had her facial reactions are priceless😊😊

That braking from 305 was wild, seemed like a code brown.

The way he was overtaking everyone at the start so quickly actually made me think I had the video sped up

How about reducing the regen to low or even zero via the S3XY Buttons by Enhauto so that the heat will go to the ceramic brakes instead of the drivetrain, thus avoiding power reduction. This strategy worked on the older Model S that had the low regen option (Bjørn Nyland's P85 reduced power at the very last straight)

The sounds or lack thereof create that sci-fi movie effect . It's all so sterile, so serene .

Jeez I was holding on to my seat and I wasn't even there. That beast is friggin' fast, scary fast. You can see Misha's soul leaving his body several times when he realises it might be a bit too late to brake at some of the corners. Can't say I'd want to experience 306 km/h now LOL

When the video is short, you know the car is quick

tesla model s plaid 2250kg 97% at start, after 3 min at 72%, power reduction 2.5bar to 2.9bar tyres at the end of the lap 53% = 44% gone 3:20 to 11:40, 8min20sec btg (19km) with traffic and power reduction

I think this is the most insane round I witnessed you drive. I had to rewind Schwedenkreuz section several times and still cannot believe it is real ^^

4:55 hats off for that save dude

Talk about just teleporting between corners, the speed is just insane! Tesla have done an incredible job at being a disruptor, puts the cat among the pigeons. Pushes everyone forwards just out of strong competition.

impressive car. can't wait for a smaller track focussed stock car like the tesla roadster 2. Power reduction is there, but it's regaining it back really quickly. More importantly, brakes are staying very strong finally

I love how it gulped up almost half a battery in one lap! That is just a ridiculous amount of power being fed in!

What a brave young lady!! I have rarely seen a more relaxed smile while riding the razor's edge. Btw - how the VW Scirocco disappeared in the mirror ( 5:50 ) is just insane

5:03 Misha’s expression at this time is priceless, he is more scared than the passengers 😂😂😂

The way that scirocco got gapped was crazy it was a dot after I blinked

wicked fast.. I never knew those rides handled like that!

Coming to you this fall. Misha Charoudin, Sandra Bullock, in Speed 3. An electrifying, wild ride through the green hell.

That looked crazy quick. Your passenger is 100% wifey material, handled like a boss.

That speed 😮 And it just looks effortless Must be so weird doing a full lap and not changing a single gear 😂

This thing is absolutely insane beyond comprehension! Watching this car devour everything else on track and seeing the cars just disappear into the background is mind blowing. If you look carefully, when Misha hits 300kph I think he has a very rare “oh shit” moment as his body tensed up to correct the car. I see why musk sent one of these up to space car it drives like it wants to be up there!

That Volkswagen Scirocco looked like it was standing still ⚡️🚀

So this is a 4 door family saloon going speeds at the Nürburgring faster than a Ferrari SF90 Hypercar and it cost "only" around 110k Euros. WHAT?!

Insanely fast car I love it, what a beast!!

Mooie video, houdoe en bedankt.

The passenger is one of the best till now❤

She enjoyed it like she was riding a normal train or something...No muscle hardening, no flinching..nothing. Voice perfectly normal, no hyper breathing, almost felt like it was a soothing experience for her. Massive respect.

Nice drive! Very entertaining 👍👍

Bro that is absolutely insane that car is so fast it’s bonkers. Misha literally hit about 190 in one of the sketchiest parts. Legit legend dude.

This is probably the most relaxed passenger I've seen so far, and we know this thing brutally accelerates until limiter, and she's just chilling 😅 And she's beautiful, but I don't see a resemblance to Sandra Bullock 😂 Edit: that white car blocking the left pass and then finally realizing (around 5:45) and then looking at the rear facing cam for how quickly he gets "gapped" (almost wrote "gaped" 🤣) is hilarious 😅

One lap 42% of the battery 🔋 impressive!

Omg the plaid track pack is electric savage !!

This car is on a completely different level! The rear facing camera at 5:50 is crazy to watch, you were just stuck behind the golf doing the same speed and it just disappears on the horizon in the blink of an eye. Kind of miss the roar of an ICE but the sheer speed of this thing makes up for the excitement!

Stay safe out there Misha. It’s incredible for us to watch but could tell you didn’t quite expect 190mph out of the thing. I have full faith in your driving but that sort of speed in an unfamiliar car on a narrow track with a passenger & no helmets or anything could’ve easily ended very differently. All the best though man. 👍🏻

Honestly, this car is too brutal, I don't know what the final speed is, but I think that from the touch it gave, 350km/h comes easily, not to mention that the car is very stable, it accelerates a lot, it restarts strongly Its braking is also absurd, amazing car, no wonder it's expensive but it's worth it, imagine if you're good at driving on the highway and it goes over 300 without making any noise😅

Amazing!! :D I was almost holding on for dear life while watching haha! Hopefully someone can come up with a new cooling system that can extract all the heat produced during a lap. I guess you need a big ass AC compressor so it creates a big enough temp delta between coolant and battery max temp. And then also more air flow over the radiator. Maybe a hood pass through for the front intake.

WOW I am impressed, the acceleration and power of this thing is insane!
