Tesla 'Plaid' Model S crushes Porsche Taycan's Nürburgring time, witness says
- gamblor956 7y agoOther witnesses note that the observer started their stopwatch after the Tesla had already begun the course... (Will post a link if I can find one in English.) Waiting to be seen if this is a repeatable accomplishment or a case of seriously bad timing.

- wcarron 7y agoI'll wait for the official timing validated by the Ring. Until now, this is just vaporware. This is nearly baseless speculation passed off as an article. For what it's worth, I'm better the Porsche will be faster.
- rad_gruchalski 7y agoJust show us the onboard. Here’s an example: https://youtu.be/8m31EgQkswg https://youtu.be/8m31EgQkswg of how it’s done. Edit. Which day. 15th? If this was Sunday, no way he would cover the whole circuit on Touristenfahrten. Dottinger Hohe is not possible to run flat on tourist rides. 16th? That would be a track day or industry pool. If the picture is the actual car, there is no track day starting number so it would indicate industry pool. That would imply tesla actually doing testing. In such case, let’s wait and see!
- _edo 7y agoThe fact we're even entertaining the thought of an electric car (a 4-door sedan!) going sub-7:30 at the Nurburgring is crazy. It wasn't long ago none of this seemed possible. The Porsche Taycan's 7:42 is a major achievement whether or not Tesla tops it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nordschleife_lap_times https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nords...
