A YouTuber shared the moment his car’s freshly installed carbon-ceramic brakes failed at over 160 mph (257 kph). The Model S Plaid stops abruptly in the track’s tire wall. Fortunately, he escaped with minor injuries. The man, however, still blames Tesla for this unfortunate event. Here’s why and what happened precisely.
Chet is a YouTuber that’s been on a mission to make his Tesla Model S Plaid as lightweight as possible for a while now. The car he was driving on the track has been through multiple modifications and stress tests. It doesn’t even have a trunk cover! Up until this unfortunate moment, it managed to keep the owner away from danger. But with new carbon-ceramic brakes installed, the high-performance all-electric sedan lost its brakes entirely and the outcome was a bad crash that ended with hospitalization for the owner.
