Wonder what the tri-motor Lucid sedan will trap at? The prototype was 156moh or so. Plenty Plaid passes break 150.00, maybe track officials will give them a break? Should have made it a 155-160 mph...

Here is his race against a 992 Turbo S.

If they would offer a 100hp update option for $2k, I would be in for it. Tesla Model 3 long range update runs about that much for what I believe is a .5 sec 0-60 improvement.

The ix battery is significantly bigger to supply the necessary current for greater HP.

The ix M60 is coming out soon. Preliminary specs put it just as quick as an X5M

3.6s 0-60 (with Launch Control)
• Two electric motors with a maximum system output of up to 610 bhp / 811 lb-ft.
•...

Both these cars are trapping around 105mph in the 1/8 mile according to this video. I looked at the top 5 Model 3 Performance times on Drag Times. Some of those running 11.2x qtr mile times, yet...

Kind of interesting how close the i4 is running against the M3 at 100mph speeds given its 1000lb handicap. Give the M3 the 1000lbs and you can imagine the results. Seems like the M50 has more than a...

Too bad they don't ever seem to have the dry pavement in all the tests from Europe. Most of the tests seem to suggest the Tesla Model 3P is quicker, which probably is not correct.

...

I pre-ordered last June. M50, $77k. It still hasn't even been scheduled for production! So anxious to get mine. Yes, if this can trap over 120 mph, that will be pretty good for a nearly 5000lb car....

But the Cadillac was the slowest in the quarter mile. So you have to pick your poison. Actually the Tesla is a 2 trick pony, it averages a 100mpg equivalent..

The 1111HP Lucid Air is being made for delivery right now. A high 9 second luxury sedan. The SUV being developed (Gravity) is slated to have 1300 HP. Their 650hp motors weigh 160lbs each. It's just a...

The 1111HP Lucid Air i
s also being made for delivery right now. A high 9 second luxury sedan. Their 1300HP Suv is under development.

Look what happens when tires and DA are not perfect on a 765LT

Wallstreet believes in their potential. Apparently their market cap is more than the next 5 automakers combined!

Here is a nice matchup between Superbike and the Tesla. Even with a pro rider, the Plaid more than keeps up..

This is a great matchup between the Plaid and a lighter, more powerful 1000+HP e85 GT500. The GT500 sounds nasty and wicked with all that noise. But somehow when losing, all that noise is more like a...

Whats crazy is it will run 8's on
the street with no race fuel, drag radials, warm up burnouts, amor smog/noise compliance problems. And still probably cruises around at 100MPGe. An actual...

The reality is that smog tests don't monitor WOT at all. Just idle and part throttle.

60-130 MPH : 3.42 sec

Look at how fast the thing accelerates at 130mph even.

Here is the run. Amazing no engine mods needed, and any car close to this performance are many times the cost.

Also, I dont know if most people realize the regular long range Model S still has around 650HP and runs 10.6 secs in the qtr mile. It also has over 400 miles of EPA range.

As quick as a GT2 RS with the same driver.(Pobst)

Interestingly enough, if too many cars are quicker and faster than the Plaid. The + version is probably almost ready to go.

Which means it will probably be more than sufficient for 99% of the people on the street.
