Aca un video en español en homenaje mi tio Jorge Jorge Pironio, quien me enseño todo lo que se de mecanica.
Puesta en marcha en frio de un Camaro SS 1968 y una pasada rapida por un Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor. Nada que ver uno con el otro, pero vale la pena mostrar el contraste.
Puesta en marcha minuto 7:17.
La calidad de sonido no es la mejor (con auriculares se aprecia mejor), pero espero que se aprecie un poco la historia de este auto.
