0-100 in less than a second. And I'm driving.

My final, confirmed time was 0-100km/h in 1.398 seconds. If I want to beat the one-second mark, I need a warmer day, and to lose about 30kg!

I'm starting to see why Tom feels he doesn't have that many videos left in him - I thought he was retiring but it's more of a decreasing survival likelihood.

Shoutout to the editor for making sure Tom's scream was in every shot of the car's acceleration

I love that you don't turn every video into a 10 minute video. This one was awesome

I literally just saw Tom at six flags in New Jersey casually riding rides by himself. This guy is a LEGEND! Edit: CONFIRMED He emailed me back!! I was on the same roller coaster ride as TOM FREAKING SCOTT! Thank you so much for the reply Tom you are the man stay well with everything going on in the world!

"faster than any roller coaster launch, besides one in Japan that's closed because it kept shattering people's bones" well now I want to know the story of that

I love how despite Toms geeky demeanour, he constantly ends up in adrenaline junky situations

I love your genuine reactions there, Tom! Just sitting in dismay for like 8 seconds before going "WHAT!?" is the most cromulent response to that experience I can imagine!

Speed really is the purest drug there is. the look on Tom's face really says it all. glad you go to experience that!

The fact that Tom is driving has more shock value than the 0-100 in the title.

Tom: “I’m not allowed to drive this large passenger transport vehicle, thank you for letting me sit behind the wheel.” Also Tom: “zero to one hundred kilometres per hour in under a second.”

I love that these guys are using the ground suction technique that has been used now for many years by competitors in the "mini maze-solving robot" competitions. They compete to solve a maze as quickly as possible, and eventually pure friction became the limiting factor so they started putting tiny fans in the base, to literally suck on the ground. Now all the robots do it because you can't win without it.

Props to the editor (and/or Tom) for knowing what the people want. Hearing Tom scream over and over again.

Tom: Im scared of modest roller coasters Also Tom: Today I'm breaking the sound barrier in a toaster on wheels

I really admire how raw the footage of your reactions to experiences like this are. On one hand seeing a few seconds if you catching your breath and looking stunned certainly helps to get across the gravity of an experience like this, but also for those of us who have been watching you for years, since our adolescence, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's come to admire you a great deal; and seeing you have these unpolished and candid reactions makes you seem more like everyone else and reminds me that one day I could be as great a man as Tom Scott just by continuing to make decisions I can stand behind and be proud of!

I love that the car (being electric) is so quiet that you can hear his scream during the launch.

The car is cool and all, butt Tom making fun of Hammond still gotta be my favorite part 😂

putting the parking lot directly down range of this test is a real statement of trust in the safety systems

When they replayed it from different angles all I kept hearing was the “Aaaaagh” from Tom as he hit the throttle,I watched it over and over and couldn’t stop laughing…😂😂😂😂 Brilliant job all around…

Well done to all involved in creating this masterpiece. Amazing engineering.
