Well, the only way that plaid will be as slow as a Lambo off the line is if you are towing a boat anchor on the end of a rope behind it.

I'm old enough to remember that Tesla Plaid was going to beat Porsche in the "Ring". The picture below shows how it worked out.

Tesla has set a new official record for the fastest quarter-mile time of any production car in their new Model S Plaid.
The time was set on May 11, 2021 at the Autoclub Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, about four hours south of Tesla’s Fremont factory in California. According to a source who was at the event, the Midnight Silver Model S Plaid set an official time of 9.23 seconds with a trap speed of 152.16mph (244.88km/h).
That handily beats the previous record of 9.4 seconds held by the Bugatti Chiron Sport. At a base price of $3,260,000 USD ($3,946,000 CAD), the supercar is considerably more expensive than the Model S Plaid which starts at $119,990 USD ($159,900 CAD).
The time set by the four door electric sedan is also nearly a full half-second quicker than the second fastest car on the list, the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Our source also told us that it wasn’t just Tesla employees at the track, but late-night comedian and car enthusiast Jay Leno was also in attendance to film the testing session for his show, Jay Leno’s Garage.
Not only was Leno watching, he also got behind the wheel. According to our source he was able to lay down a time of 9.50 seconds, with the added weight of two passengers in the car during his run.

So the pre production test vehicle had some issues. This is not settled yet. I expect to see a production model on the ring before the end of the year.
But Tesla will probably be bankwupt by then right?

Production cars are not built on one fast lap. If that were the case we would all be driving NASCAR's or Top Fuel cars.
Tusk is doing an excellent job of farming the government just as I said he would. I give him an A+.
Where is that semi by the way? It was 2018 and then 2019 and then for sure 2020 and now I'm sure you will say for sure at the end of 2021!!
Always just a year away......and then another year away.......Do you want to do another prediction?
