The World’s Lightest Tesla Plaid Goes To The Drag Strip!

1. Man I'm all good for trying to get it the fastest it can but it can't be EROY with body panels

2. Don't take that helmet diving in the ocean!

3. Lower (stiffer and lighter) suspension kit + lighter set of rims should do the tricks to achieve a better time, but yeah, at this point the aero factor can't be ignored.
   A carbon fiber body kit looking like the Mclaren Speedtail would be insane on that Plaid, but in that case the windshield and this safety cage would need to be replaced too.

4. Lost touch with your audience destroying a 60k car just to go from 9s to 8s 😢😅😅

5. You think one of those larger Prius bodies would fit on that chassis. What a sleeper that would make.

6. Definitely carbon fibre hood and a spilter

7. So cool to see jack stan helping and he brings his little helper the
   side kick stan

8. James is badass, and once the Eroy has some custom Boiz aero and tires it's gonna be near the world record

9. Carbon Front clip! Do ittttt

10. i believe you could use better tires

11. Lighter wheels and tires would help a lot too by reducing rotating mass. I would try that with as sticky and light of a tire I could use before doing any aero and then try the body mods in another video. That way you can see what affects the time more.

12. Kyle is an electric fanboy now cuz he knows he cant miss 3rd anymore…

13. Jackstand needs to be in everybody's videos. Lol. Good job Boiz

14. Talk to a proffessional about the batteries. Might be a way to half the battery to reduce more weight. Power will still be there but range will take a hit … i think.

15. You should put a exhaust speaker

16. What did you expect, it looked so much better with the outer wheel arches on , there are no clean smooth lines the aero is none existent,you need clean air flow from front all the way out of the back , get a roof and side panels on it, both e Roy and leroy need clean covered body panels

17. Time to take it to a wind tunnel for kicks and giggles

18. Put rpf1's on it.

19. Thought you would run 8s? Guess you got plaid!

20. You guys need to look into some Orion electric speed controllers! Drop half the battery pack keeping the same voltage (will reduce so much weight) cause you don't need driving range at the drag strip!
    You could essentially "shorted" the under body if the battery pack dimensions are reduced (definitely doable)
    You also need to do all the sensor drops that Chet did (traction control is dropping so much power out of the car) and then drag slicks on some bead lockers.
    This thing would easily go 7s
    This dude will be able to help you mod controllers too (and he's a Honda dude)

21. dead ass get a lighter and wider tire, or a lighter rim for sure with a sticky tire. tesla rims are heavy af, you could save 10 pounds per tire

22. The spectator drags are going to be insane if you guys get some light wheels and a set of NT555RII's.

23. at some point getting rid of the full width glass and making it like the arial atom with a bullet cone front. Then maybe a jet fighter canopy could increase wind performance.

24. I think that you should put on some slicks and do a fiberglass body for aerodynamic. Nice video!

25. Can you mold light plastic on body for extra speed and aerodynamics

26. Boosted boiz and fresh n fit collaboration? Lmao

27. Who’d thought taking aero off of one of the lowest drag coefficient cars would slow it down 😅 Loving this series guys 😀 Glad you’re enjoying the Tesla

28. Please just put a wide civic pront clip on it and send it ✌️😅

29. U should find out if there's a way to like split the battery in half or whatever. so u could pull half of it out. That would prob be close to the same amount of weight u already have out.

30. Need wheels and tyres 🤷

31. You should increase the angle of attack on that rear wing abit. You dont want it making lift.

32. TRY TO BRING BACK THE FRONT PARTS TO GET THAT AERO THAT WILL BE THE SWEET SPOT

33. need to call Elon for a saucy tune

34. Sheet metal that piece!!

35. Probably beat the “stock” Tesla record

36. Does the wireless phone charger still function.

37. All that and it’s still slower than stock lol

38. Put a front air damn on it improve the front aero. Then take it to a tunnel tester to get the air better. Then put drag radials on all 4 corners.

39. If all cars were electric, no one would watch a race. Lol Its really boring when there is no engine noise and exhaust flames.

40. James the man!! Knowledge is power!

41. Everyone drop a like cause what’s happing right now is history. Legends in the making as always

42. Congrats, that close fitting bar over the top of the windshield is really messing with the aerodynamics as well. It's messing with the air flowing over and then through the open car, which is creating drag. Anything to smooth out the front end will as you say help as well. The car has 1050hp and at the weight it is there is a mathematical limit on how fast it can go.

43. Plate in the front of the car and drag rims and tires

44. I would put a thin sheet of metal in all the triangles and especially the roof and the front. once it knows how to handle the lower weight this will go

45. @22:00 gawd damn cake cake cake cake cake cake

46. If anything, this video is a testament to how accurate the Dragy is!
