There are aftermarket ceramic brake pads available for a Tesla, so I'm fairly sure that isn't a problem, but the drain on the battery pack is a major issue.… Also the brakes on the Plaid don't seem like they are cut out to bring a 4800lb car down from such high speeds repeatedly, but that's just speculation.
Not with the current brakes. They will need a "track pack" or some upgrade to run the ring. Most likely carbon ceramic brakes.Any news on Plaids Nurburgring testing? Will it beat the Taycan?
Interesting. The regen torque from the motors is not enough to help the stock brakes? I always thought the electric motors helped the brake’s longevity. So I’m guessing it really comes down to better heat management.Not with the current brakes. They will need a "track pack" or some upgrade to run the ring. Most likely carbon ceramic brakes.
Brake regen is great for scrubbing speed off under "normal" driving but would have to be substantially more aggressive to scrub any useful amount of speed of in a track setting as we're talking about significantly greater forces involved.Interesting.

There are a couple of reports from individuals taking the Plaid to the track. It only takes a couple of laps for the brake temp warning light to come on. The Nurburgring takes a serious toll on brakes. It would be almost dangerous to push the car hard enough for a record lap time knowing the brakes could flake out at any minute.Interesting.

The yoke looks pretty cool I must admit. I just watched a video of a plaid owner driving around town with the yoke. Unfortunately he hit the horn button by accident and it’s weird with a total rotation lock to lock of 900 degrees. For a yoke input I’d think it should be 300-400 degrees like an F1 car. If you are racing using a yoke with 900 degrees of motion it maybe difficult to get out of a slide or tank slapper situation. What do you guys think?Not yet
I’d say probably not for a while in anything resembling a car you can buy. It’s extremely difficult to get a time like Taycan did. Porsche has so much experience with circuit tracks and building sports cars that I think a lot of people don’t understand. There’s a lot more to this than the 1/4 mile or 0-60mph time.
I’d like to know how the yoke performed and if it contributed to the crash.

Taycan is great for Nurburgring, but any further than that and it overheats and slows WAY down. In the end, Model 3 is faster in longer racesNot yet
