INSIDE LOOK! I saw the Flying Tesla Roadster in Person and it was CRAZY
DragTimes usually puts a car's acceleration to the test. Brooks Weisblat's new upload takes him to the SpaceX testing facility for a different proposition: a Tesla Roadster that leaves the ground.
The visit accompanies a sharp change in pace for his channel, which is drawing about a million views a day, nearly nine times its usual level. The Roadster inside look, posted Friday, has reached roughly 1.3 million views.
Tesla has a long history on DragTimes, well before this airborne chapter. The channel's most-watched regular upload is Weisblat's 2015 quarter-mile matchup between a Model S P85D and a Ferrari F12. Another early favorite collected passengers' reactions to the P85D's Insane Mode launches.
The Roadster visit also follows a more hands-on Tesla project: installing a tuning module in a Model S Plaid, then comparing acceleration before and after. That upload is about finding extra speed on the ground; the SpaceX visit gives the channel's electric-car coverage a rather different destination.

💡 Did you know
In drag racing, elapsed time and reaction time are separate measurements. A driver's quarter-mile clock starts when the car leaves the starting beam, not when the green light appears.
