The Plaidessey Takes On Spectator Drags!

The Solo Run

As the crew noticed that something wasn't quite right with the Tesla Power Odyssey app, they decided to take it for a solo run. The driver, feeling a bit amused, joked about making a solo run and couldn't help but crack a smile as he inspected the car's front fender, which was rubbing against another tire. To their relief, the damage wasn't too extensive, and the car seemed to be in relatively good condition, considering its age and beat-up appearance.

After completing the initial inspection, the driver decided to proceed with caution, despite feeling a bit of anxiety about the potential for further damage. The team noticed that the car was warm, but fortunately, it didn't appear to be too badly damaged. As they continued their assessment, the driver did hold back on making any major adjustments, opting instead to wait and see how things would unfold.

The driver then moved on to the task of racing against a Tesla Model S 100D, an older model that was significantly less powerful than their own car. The two cars were set to compete in a best-of-three matchup, with the winner taking the outside lane. As they prepared for the first round, the driver couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and competitiveness.

The first round of racing saw the Tesla Model S 100D put up a good fight, but ultimately, the driver's car emerged victorious. The team was thrilled to have taken out their opponent in the first round, setting them up for a favorable position heading into the final matchup.

As they took to the track for the second and final round, the driver could feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins. He expertly navigated the course, taking the outside lane and executing a flawless series of turns. The Tesla Model S 100D was in hot pursuit, but the driver's car maintained its lead, ultimately crossing the finish line first.

The third and final round saw the driver and their opponent engage in a heart-pumping battle for supremacy. Despite being at a disadvantage, with an older model Porsche taking on their newer car, the driver refused to back down. He skillfully maneuvered his vehicle, executing precise turns and leveraging his knowledge of the track to gain an edge.

As they approached the final turn, it became clear that the driver was running out of fuel – literally. The Tesla Model S 100D had pulled ahead, leaving the driver's car struggling to keep pace. In a stunning display of sportsmanship, the opponent offered the inside lane for the first race, which would ultimately prove crucial in determining the outcome.

With the finish line in sight, the driver made one final push, but it was too little, too late. The Tesla Model S 100D crossed the finish line first, leaving the driver's car to come up just short. Despite the loss, the driver and their team couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, having pushed their car to its limits.

As they reflected on the final outcome, the driver couldn't help but think about the state of their car's tires – specifically, why it seemed that the front fender was rubbing against another tire. In the heat of the moment, he had initially suspected that it might be due to excessive wear on the front tires, but ultimately discovered that it was actually a result of a minor misalignment in the rear.

In an effort to rectify this issue, the driver and his team decided to make some adjustments to their car. They opted for a hot-rolled steel solution to address the problem, which involved carefully bending the rear fender to create a more precise curve that would prevent further rubbing on the tire.

The resulting change had a significant impact on the car's performance, with its tires now running smoothly and without any issues. The driver couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at having resolved this problem, as it allowed their car to run more efficiently and effectively.

As they wrapped up the final touches, the driver reflected on the events of the evening. Despite experiencing some setbacks and close calls, he couldn't help but feel that his car had performed admirably. He also acknowledged that the competition had been fierce, with each opponent pushing him and his team to their limits.

In the end, the driver's experience served as a testament to the importance of adaptability, sportsmanship, and attention to detail in the world of motorsports. As they packed up their gear and headed home for the night, he couldn't help but feel proud of what had been accomplished – and look forward to the next adventure that lay ahead.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys we are over here at the freedom Factory with the platy and today we are putting this thing in The Spectator drags we actually brought this thing out here not too long ago when it was eoy when it was an exoc cage Tesla Model S plaid I accidentally almost put it into the wall oh buddy luckily we didn't do that but now it is out here as the platy it's the first time out here with the van body on it for those of you that don't know this is a 2001 Honda Odyssey Minivan body on top a Tesla Model S plaid and we're going to see how well it can hold up in these Circle drags out here it is on a different tire from when it was last time we are on a Nitto nt555 R2 drag radial which will be a much stickier compound than the tires we had on it before we just had the factory model S plaid tires they usually come with like Michelin Pilot Sports so this should be a better tire for grip and they are also wider I'm actually a little worried that they're going to rub pretty bad going into the corners because they are really wide back here and the Odyssey body it was just not meant for a setup this wide but we got the fenders rolled out as best we could if they rub it is what it is we're going to get out there and see how good we can do in this thing but I'm pretty excited guys we haven't been out here like I said since it was ooy and we did really good in eroy but unfortunately we got rained out early so hopefully you know the weather holds out today it looks nice and beautiful not a cloud in the sky so we should be good and we got this guy pulling up yeah that guy's just salty from when I beat up on his truck in this thing so you know he had to come out here with his fancy Porsche we'll see if he can uh keep up with us or not out here at the freedom Factory am I seeing this right I think that's the line for the circle drags there I was tricked bro Adam goes there's not enough people not not enough people are going to show up you should sign up so now you're in it c6z Cora gr all wheeel Drive Tesla plaid you got another Tesla plaid no I got a minivan all right well whatever it is I'm going to get effed up I'm uh racing a

yours yes sir anything done to her nothing special just stage one mza nothing special but I'm sure you like to send it out there right yeah oh yeah so we got an Audi looks like another Audi we got another Tesla right here this one looks to be a model sp100d so a little bit older model 50 Mustang Volkswagen GTI a plaid we got this Toyota over here I believe that's the new Corolla gr we got a ZO6 Corvette we got a GMC Cyclone we got a another Audi with some Meats on it big old front mount intercooler and then we got this Evo back here almost all of these all-wheel drive cars minus the vet and Mustang should be interesting boys we'll see how we can do so we're in line right now behind the other spectator drag cars but I do need to let you guys know that we are just a touch over 50% battery maybe 55 56% I did my best to try to get this thing as charged up as possible but we just got back from sick week which was a drag and drive event that took us all over Florida and I had to drive two hours home from Orlando last night I let it charge overnight and my house I have a slow charger I'm coming up with a lot of excuses here but I tried to top it off as best I could and I had to drive it an hour out here so that is the only thing it might slow us down just a touch overall it should do pretty much the same regardless but we are on those better tires we got Cletus out here in his Porsche it's on some fat hooers this Evo looks like it's on some hooers on all four as well and then we have another Tesla Model S plaid and then a p100d so I'm sure those are going to be very fast as well and I think it might come down to which driver has the most balls and obviously skill so we'll see how good we can do out here boys in the platy and also for our first run we don't have anybody next to us we did actually get a buy run because we drew chips and I didn't have anybody to go up against me since we had an odd number of cars so I actually get to make a test hit luckily and I'm kind of happy about that cuz I want to see how bad these tires are going to rub because if it's really bad you know there might be a chance I might not be able to do this right now I did bring the other OEM Tesla wheels and tires that fit much better but I won't have time to swap them out so hopefully we can get around without rubbing too bad and we'll be good to go down looking for the green
