>What time would a Tesla get if you striped out all the extra weight? (seats, glass, electronics, roof, etc. etc.) That's been done - you don't actually want to remove things like glass because the aerodynamic efficiency loss doesn't outweigh the weight removal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywvGbus3yxo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywvGbus3yxo

Neat! It looks like their 0-60 mph time was 1.37s.

  Funnily enough, better than the previous world record holder.

    Not exactly -- the previous record was for 1 to 100, not 1 to 60.

      That's 0-100kph (0-62mph).

What's the math on the weight vs the affect of drag at that level? Aero doesn't come much into play in 0-60. "Drag karts" are becoming a thing and they do just fine

There's still lots of extra weight on that Tesla! Take a look at this one lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z27t9uHp7nY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z27t9uHp7nY
