Unbelievable performance but I don’t believe it. My understanding is half the propaganda Tesla puts out is BS. If their cars don’t have the range they advertise is the 0-60 actually that low? And why does Tesla get a pass on false advertising? Weren’t there a few manufacturers a few years ago that got sued because they’re MPG was much lower than claimed? Hopefully for Tesla this car has better quality than their previous models.

It should fly at the drag strip. The what ever top model was running mid 10's. Think when they 1st started talking about this car they were saying high 8's. Lets say it under performs and only runs 9.5. Now I'm not into electric cars but 9's would be pretty crazy.
I remember seeing one of those 200k porsches a few years back breaking into the 10's. This will be 70k cheaper and over a second faster

Really thinking the new Dodges may be something pretty crazy. 30 mpg and running 9's should be easy

We all hate change but you never know, may not be as bad as you think

Can’t stand Elon and Tesla but give him credit for raising the bar which in the end we will benefit. I am sure Dodge, Ford and GM will outdo his technology and power. Can only imagine the next Mustang electrified since they are already showing this technology. And sure Dodge as well but they have not shown much yet but probably will smash Tesla as well. And yeh change is here which in the end hopefully we have some pretty awesome rides.

"The indicated Plaid top speed requires proper wheels and tires which will be available in Fall 2021."

^^ It is a 4 door…
Not sure if you were being sarcastic because of our favorite taxi driving buddy, or because it looks like a 2 door.
It’s an amazing car. Can’t wait to see what they do next.

Assumed it wasn't 4 doors (looks like a 2 door from picture). Was totally joking with our beloved @Jimmy N. Sh$$t I didn't even know that...thanks Jack. Jimmy is so going to love it now 😂🤣😅🤣😂.

So please do tell, what is the tire/wheel setup. As we know power without grip goes up in smoke. I think i want their tires more than their Tesla.

Doesn't need to be anything too crazy. I know the Tesla is heavy, but a Charger HC will do 200 on the crappy OEM Pirellis and only weighs a few hundred pounds less. We're talking high-speed durability, not holeshot gumball stickiness.

Even if stats are exaggerated or incorrect it is impressive. These cars are still in there infancy. Imagine what 5-10yrs will bring in performance. Honestly, I think this is the wild west phase of EV evolution and regulation. Once established they may be Federally regulated and actually be slower.
How many people could handle 8's or 7's! Or a sub one second 0-60. They'll be passing out from g forces! :LOL:

Looks like every other Tesla. The range claims must be very closely correlated to the aerodynamics because they literally all look the same - boring.

When a computer controls the motors instead of your feet, it’s not all that difficult to do a great 0-60 with the torque that this thing makes. They’ve got it down to a science.
