January 7 news, recently Tesla flagship sedan Model S Plaid ushered in the 2021.44.30 version update, the new Track Mode (Track Mode). According to the owner's feedback, the speed of the vehicle was increased from 163 mph (about 263.3 km/h) to 175 mph (about 281.6 km/h) after the system upgrade.
It should be noted that Tesla reminds that this mode is suitable for drivers with racing experience and is not recommended to open on the road. According to Xiao Lei's understanding, the fastest normal speed of the F1 car on the track is generally around 350 km / h, and the Tesla Model S Plaid, which has a speed of 281.6 km per hour, is indeed eligible to drive on the track.
However, for ordinary users, especially domestic users, this function is indeed not much meaningful, most of the domestic highways are limited to 120 kilometers, and the only unrestricted speed-limit highway - Hangshaoyong Expressway, is still under construction. No matter how fast the car can run, you can only drive within 120 km /h in the country. If it is in the city, the speed limit is even more severe.
Xiao Lei went to see the speed limit of overseas highways, there are not many countries with unlimited speed high-speed sections, and the speed of civilian cars to be so high is actually not much effect. And drag racing looks cool, but it is actually a very dangerous thing, too fast will cause the human brain to be unable to process too much picture, so the perspective will become narrower, it is likely to be unable to see the scene in front of you, resulting in a traffic accident.
In recent years, domestic F1 racing has developed well, many cities have built commercial tracks, in the absence of competition, the owner only needs to pay a little money, you can drive in the track. If you like drag racing, or want to test the speed of your car, you can go on the track.
Xiao Lei noticed that there are many drag racing people who think that they have high quality and think that it is too dangerous to drag racing during the day, so they choose to go to drag racing at two or three o'clock in the morning. But now young people are just about to fall asleep at two or three o'clock in the morning, and you drive a car buzzing below, which will affect the sleep of others. Not to mention the low brightness at night, the possibility of accidents will increase.
Tesla's track mode has functions such as racing, drifting, snow presets, etc., and after the owners upgrade the system, they can go to the track to experience. However, when experiencing, we must pay attention to safety first.
