A hardcore smack down to gas cars:
$TSLA

Here’s a look at some of the cars the Model S Plaid beat.

Nurburgring record times per autocar.co.uk/car-news/anyth…

First up, this roomy and roofless number from Toyota:

Looks like the Plaid Model S beat this AMG by 26 seconds!

I wouldn’t want to try cramming 4 friends in it tho.

This Audi 💩 didn’t break 8 minutes. 😂🤣

And now for the electric cars with faster times:

Tesla still has the *production* electric car record because you can’t buy one of these.

As a matter of fact, the one-seater you’re looking at here is the one and only VW ID R ever made.

It cost VW a mint and it’s not for sale.

And here’s the only other electric car with a faster time than the Model S Plaid (it’s also not a production car).

Good luck finding one of the 6 Nio ever made. 😂🤣 I couldn’t find how much they cost, but probably more than a Tesla.

Update:
Nio sold the EP9 for £2.5M GBP each. 💸

You could buy a lot of Teslas with that kind of money.

And the EP9 does 0-60 in 2.7 seconds. 👀
