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.

I might have been taking part in that same track day. I remember a Tesla on track with me 1 or 2 years ago. Like you say, it was really slow.

The flip side of that is the NIO electric car which broke the track record at the Nurburgring right out of the box. A brand new car company crushing big name machines right out of the box!? That to me shows the potential of electric cars in the future.
