Videos are up of these things running 9.5x @ 145+ at 50% charge launching on the side of the road.
The 15 minute warm up only seems necessary for achieving absolute max performance.

Yep...all over the internet and youtube now. As I have been saying, Brooks from dragtimes knows whats up and he owns ALL THE BEST exotics. He just posted a video of how this car will keep up and slightly beat a Chiron past 160mph...the new triple battery setup is insane, he also mentioned this car traps in the 1/8 mile (around 125mph) what my p100d trapped in the 1/4 mile...huge progress in just a few years from tesla. Amazing!

My brother is getting his Plaid today and I am very much looking forward to driving it. Will report back later today with my impressions.

Results are in, the thing is mind ****ing bending fast. My brother and I both have had many 700hp+ cars and this car is in a different universe. If acceleration is your party trick, look no further. NOTHING will touch this thing on the street. It’s also concerning that anyone can own this thing. There are going to be a lot of people that F themselves up in these.

Not to mention I'm betting a lot of these are going to tech boys with money looking to dick swing not experienced car enthusiasts with seat time. Kinda like selling a Tackhawk to a soccer mom cause she wanted "top of the line" having no idea what she signed up for. Should be interesting.

Looking forward to the first YouTube crash compilation....

That 150 trap is insane and its only going to get faster. I remember when the teslas would launch super quick and top out at 130, its like they jumped in performance.

I wonder how my tuned '21 S1000RR compares 60-130. Bitch keeps wanting to wheelie. LOL

This is a 2020 and not sure how different it is than a ‘21 model. That would be a good run if you can keep the wheel down and not feather it. Saw that on the dragy app. There’s a e36 leading the bmw section somewhere in the NW that’s flying in the 3’s on 60-130.

Its the same bike, the brakes had to go in for recall (just like 2020s, lol), but this bike likes to go up. I think its the power and weight, compared to my 13, which probably did 170 to the wheels this thing with my mods is 203 to wheels (full ti exhaust + BT stage 1) and much lighter.

Thats ****ing nuts that E-cars can keep up with newer bolt on liter bikes! I'm sure it falls off after 150 tho.

Almost scary fast. YouTubers left and right are ripping off 9 sec passes on the streets of America. Lol.

Honesty, if you can’t get excited about this kind of performance, I don’t know what to say. This is on street tires. It’s crazy. Someone needs to slap a pair of MT radials on one and see what they get!

My94GT · Jun 29, 2021

This is wild performance for sure. Is it what I would want for a track toy/weekend fun car….no, but I will absolutely want to daily one.

ArabianOak · Jun 29, 2021

yes sir, youtube is littered with plaid videos decimating EVERYTHING already...lol. must suck to be a hater against this car after being disproven on literally every rumor they come up with (battery needs to be 100 percent charged, special warm up conditions etc etc etc)...lololololol. Running mid 9's on a 50 percent charge is INSANE.

Elon has made my p100d obsolete with this car. Let's hope my value dont tank lololololol

I don’t hate the car at all. At the same time I couldn’t give 2 ****s about it. It is insanely fast but does nothing for me from a looks and sound standpoint and sounds like an industrial blender. I’ve never looked twice at a Tesla but a shitbox 5.0 with Flowmasters will have me going full retard trying to find where it’s coming from.

Car guy shit I guess. I grew up in the pits of dirt tracks and every member of my family owned several muscle cars growing up. Simulate a cammed V8, high revving V10 or Turbo in-line 6 sound and I might jump ship. Until then I couldn’t care less particularly about if it’s faster than me or not. To those that are into them, enjoy just stop trying to convince everyone else. EV guys are like the new Vegans.

I love the tech. I hate the Green lies and politics around the tech, and not a fan of the charge times. And honestly, the charging time is the only thing stopping me from buying one.

This part in particular is the biggest truth in this thread.

You gotta sleep sometimes! Just plug it in and wake up to a full charge. E Z.

Reality, IF you drive crazy miles every day and can't get through the day on a charge, I can understand that. Having to stop and supercharge on a daily basis would be a PITA.

Personally, I do roughly 100-125 miles per week, so one charge/week is all I need. I charge at home and pick up 28 miles of range every hour. So 4-5 hours, one day a week. When it's charged up, it automatically shuts off. Unplug, done. Could easily stretch that to once every other week, but no real point in that.

I suspect Winter will require a bit more, so twice a week? No big deal.

So if you’re not trying to get everywhere and anywhere in 3 seconds or less, why not get a economical 4 banger for a fraction of the cost, that serves the same purpose. Makes no sense to me.
