Canadian “Toreto” checks the effectiveness of a “modified” Tesla
It happened on the huge runway of the Trois-Rivières airport in Quebec, which has a measure of three kilometers. There, Fred Lambert witnessed the feat performed by driver Guillaume André: A Tesla Model S Plaid managed to make history reaching a speed mark of 348 kilometers per hour.
As far as is known, this registered figure is the highest reached by the electric cars of the company led by Elon Musk. As said by Fred Lambert of ElectrekAndré’s goal was to push the limits and test the capabilities of the Tesla sedan.
Guillaume André is CEO of Ingenexta company based in Canada dedicated to selling modules that unlock limited functions in the software of Tesla cars, and in this scenario it has now managed to break the schemes proposed by the Model S Plaid and overcome a historical speed barrier.
According to Electrek, when the company announced this model, it stated that it could reach a speed of 322 kilometers per hour. However, once the car was released, drivers from all over the world reported that the vehicle could travel at a maximum speed of 262 kilometers per hour. This information was updated reaching a mark of 282 kilometers per hour.
However, after this test, André managed to prove the truth of this statement and push the possibilities of the vehicle to the limit. This can be seen through a video recorded from inside the Ingenext CEO’s Model S Plaid. This video shows how during the test the speedometer enters the “red zone”, warning, reaching 216 mph (348 km/h).
This is the Tesla that managed to reach 348 kilometers per hour:
But how did the driver manage to do this?
The driver himself acknowledged that to achieve this feat he had to resort to a modified Tesla. The team took it upon themselves to add larger Mountainpass Performance brakes and higher performance Michelin Super Sport tires.
This was with the aim of reinforcing the safety of the car and facilitating the braking mechanism over 300 km/h. The challenge was carried out on the track of more than three kilometers, with at least two available to achieve maximum speed and slow down.
Something impressive is that, according to what was reported, the driver had tried this test several times, but had failed due to lack of space. Finally, the driver passed the test and verified the effectiveness and veracity of Tesla’s ad.
In summary, this type of challenge manages to vindicate the products of the brands, because after the smear campaign that began with the buyers’ reports, it is now clear that it was always true and that the model always had the opportunity to reach said figure. .
