Nick Harris is the man.

It would be so much more pleasant to watch with a different host.

pikkagtr · 06-02-2016, 09:35 AM

90 mph roll would be a much diff result
Add in a jb4 and some corn juice and that RC car is dead in the water

Murray's fine. He's just a dude having fun with his ride and several friends that also have cool rides.

Bluex · 06-02-2016, 10:08 AM

Yeah, nothing unpleasant about that vid.....enjoyable to watch. All good-natured fun and I got a little chuckle out of it, here and there.

I must have been on those same Mexican roads the past couple of days

potxoli · 06-02-2016, 12:21 PM

At a toll plaza on the pike a tesla and my M3 arrived a the same time in two lanes that converged to one. Usually, I tend to floor it in this situation to make sure I get in front since the M3 can out accelerate 99.9% of cars out there. Roughly a 20-30mph rolling start. Floored it in 3rd. The Tesla driver had the same MO and he shot out in front of so fast I could not believe it. Even if I had downshifted to 2nd, I think the outcome would have been the same.

Pretty incredible acceleration on those Teslas. Still prefer my M3 though

RobbyMack · 06-02-2016, 01:04 PM

I see "Mexico" has changed a lot since I was last there

Murray can be a bit of a tool, but he's just a dude having fun with his buddies and bringing along a camera. No harm there. Every time I see a tesla I have to remind myself I'm far more interested in killing more dead dinosaurs than succumbing to the electric bandwagon. Yes I know we still kill dinosaurs to make electricity but I like the satisfaction of doing it myself.

"What's wrong with nick" ... Nothing. He's just a car enthusiast that likes to goof around and play with cool stuff. Problem is he ran a video that some here on the M forum would rather not acknowledge, an M ass whoop.

My dad has a P90D Model S and it is on a whole different planet in terms of acceleration. Pair it with the crazy lack of noise and it is a treat for the senses. I like the internal combustion engine as much as the next guy, but there is no beating peak torque from the get go and all wheel drive.

Results wouldn't have been near as close had he put the Tesla in Ludicrous mode.

how many runs can you do before the batteries get to hot and go into limp mode? also how long can you drive it in ludicrous mode? I am not hating on the tesla just a question as i have never been in one. there are only a few in my area that i have seen. and i wounder what kind of range you get before a recharge?

Range is ~ 280 miles depending on how you drive it. He has taken about a half dozen people in a row on joy rides in about a 20 minute period with no limp mode. Each ride he nails it about 3-4 times, so let's call it 18-24 launches in a 20 minute period with no issues. Not hating on the M (as I'm doing ED on mine in 4 weeks), I just have to give respect where it's deserved.

nene · 06-02-2016, 08:50 PM

I own both the M4 and the P90D, and I would hate to have to choose to only keep one.
I'm just a fan of great machines on wheels.

DaBean · 06-03-2016, 01:37 AM

I would actually think that the higher speeds are where the M4 would reel the Tesla back in, simply due to the gearing. I thought that the Teslas had a ~130mph top speed...

Interesting to see how close it was. Agreed that the car must not have been in ludicrous mode, and that off the line it would have been a can of woop-ass.

But good to know that I can now go head to head with Teslas on the road w/o fearing embarrassment

I will admit that I've had the privilege to ride in a development P90D with secret sauce - don't ask me how - and that thing is incredible. When I got back to my M4 it honestly felt laggy and slow. So I can confirm first-hand that these cars truly are a remarkable feat of engineering.

BUT... it's still good to know that on good old (Mexican) roads, in everyday power settings, it's a close match

IIRC I read something that said in ludicrous mode it won't complete a lap of the Nurburgring without going into limp mode. Now that's obviously not a realistic test for everyday driving and punching it a few times.

the tesla is great. the quiet ride is awesome while on the phone.

other then that, it feels soulless. like a maniqen
