Holy god, I just watched the in car videos of Plaid mode takeoff. So fast. Even with some tire squeal its amazing. Imagine that car with R compound tires. And they claim a 1/4 mile time of 8.x seconds? Electric again crushes the Hellcat. I'm not sure I can even imagine that car at autocross.

I watched someone attempt to do a track day at Road Atlanta in a Tesla. Hilarity ensued. I think it did 10 laps all weekend and spent most of the time on the charger. To top it off, it was dogshit slow because of the weight.

They do make the best street racing cars though. 1320 video has footage of a gutted one on drag radials crushing everyone on the streets. The thing is completely gutted and still weighs 4700 lbs (I couldn’t believe how heavy it was). Tesla as a drag car, hell yes. For anything else, hell no.

You're talking about the Model S though which is the same class of car as the Audi A8, BMW 7, Mercedes S. It's a big fat 7 seat car with stupid amounts of power so of course the only racing it's good for is drag. I'd imagine the roadster would be much more competitive but obviously we're still waaaay in the early days of racing EVs.
