Instead, it would compete against a car more in line with an electric vehicle’s limitations. The Tesla would not go up against a new car, which would enjoy a de facto head start thanks to more than a century of development. So as not to be seen as blithely unappreciative of a new technology’s inevitable teething issues, namely the Tesla’s limited driving range and the nation’s inadequate charging infrastructure, we developed a kind of handicap for the Model S. This time we compare the electric car to its direct predecessor, the hydrocarbon-burning automobile, much as our forebears must have compared the first motorcar to the trusty nag, which was soon to be advertised with hefty cash rebates and complimentary oat bags. Thus, we proceed with yet another trial of the Model S. normal drifting with only one "W" hit, while in the curve and still steering.From the February 2014 Issue of Car and DriverĪ century from now, let no man or robot or digital personal companion embedded in the cerebellum at birth say that Car and Driver didn’t look at this thing from every possible angle. Note: this does not happen on the keyboard, where everything is as it should be. So what I have to do for one full curve (keeping the accelerator down at all times) is: I have to hit the brake 6 to 7 times in a row to get it back to drift again and again and again. It only drifts for the first 0.1s and then falls over into non-drift bad cornering. What we experience is: The drift starts ok, but does not continue to drift, while still steering and accelerating. Yes, we're quite aware, how it's supposed to work.īut with the above mentioned controllers that's not how it works out. If you stop steering or stop accelerating the drift will end. To maintain the drift just keep accelerating and steering. The idea is that while you're turning, keep holding down the accelerator and just tap the brake (drift button) to initiate the drift.
