The world of drag racing is about to experience a jolt of electric excitement as Bisi Ezerioha, renowned as Bisimoto, returns to drag racing at the wheel of a 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid on a mission to dominate the drag strip. In this electrifying endeavor, he has enlisted the expertise of Unplugged Performance, the frontrunners in Tesla modification, to maximize the performance of his electric powerhouse.
The partnership kicks off with Unplugged Performance-supplied staggered 20″ UP-03 lightweight forged wheels, for which Bisi paired with 305-wide Toyo R888R tires in the rear and 275 in the front. To finely dial the alignment for optimized traction and reduced drag, Unplugged Performance has also provided their billet adjustable rear camber and toe arms, along with their tow hitch kit, and a specially designed parachute mount. The latter is a requirement by the NHRA and IHRA for cars that exceed 150 mph in the quarter mile, a speed the Model S Plaid hits with ease.
This dynamic partnership between Bisimoto and Unplugged Performance is just the beginning. The duo plans to collaborate on product development to further enhance the drag racing capabilities of the Model S Plaid.
Bisimoto will be documenting every step of this electrifying journey, from the installation of Unplugged Performance parts to the technical theories behind their performance gains and product development of future components. Racing enthusiasts and electric vehicle aficionados alike can follow this captivating journey on Bisimoto’s YouTube and Instagram channels.
Don’t miss the inaugural public appearance of the Bisimoto X Unplugged Performance Tesla Model S Plaid at Electrify Expo Miami on October 14th and 15th on display at the Toyo Tires booth.
Bisi Ezerioha, the driving force behind Bisimoto, shared his enthusiasm for this partnership, stating, “We’re electrifying the drag strip, and Unplugged Performance is our secret weapon. Together, we’re rewriting the rules of what electric cars can do on the track.”
