The GT500 went faster in the 1/4 mile lol! For now. Until Tesla brings out a software upgrade to unlock more power.Think it would be bad for a dig.

I don't care if the Tesla ran -14's @ 7.4 million mph. There's more to being an enthusiast than simply going fast. I want the sounds, smells, and nostalgia too, not just the speed.
I guess I'm looking at this differently. If I had the cash I could absolutely see having an EV with a nice interior that's fast as shit and still have an mustang or whatever for weekend fun/track duty.
Certainly a valid point. I guess I just don't have the pocketbook to even allow myself to see that option. lol
I've watched a few Plaid videos now. Most people are amazed by the acceleration and they say it feels like alien technology. I would not say no to a Tesla Plaid. I am really curious to see if the Roadster will beat the Nevera. I think there's a chance it will especially if they really do come out with the SpaceX option.I guess I'm looking at this differently.

Most any decent track already has chargers you can hook up your RV to. When we were at the track with the Plaid he was charging it there when needed.At what point do we start seeing charging stations at drag strips?
How many runs are feasible at full tilt on these things? Batteries overheat? "Sorry guys. I'd love to do another run, but I only have enough juice to make it to the charger."
Don't get me wrong. If you're into these things, let her rip. Just some questions/points that come to mind.
Brooks said his was using about 2% per pass.I doubt the Plaid uses 2% for a WOT 1/4 run, but I'm just guessing based on my Model Y experience.
Even if it used twice that (4% per 1/4), you could show up at the strip with 80%, run 10 passes, and still have 40% to get home.
The Model S Plaid has at least 348 miles of range from a full charge(Even more range with the standard wheel/tire), so 40% = 139 miles to get home or to a supercharger. Really no problem.
I think when I ran my 3 I used about 3% per pass. Left my house at about 90%, drove to the track, ran 3x, drove home and had about 70% left.I doubt the Plaid uses 2% for a WOT 1/4 run, but I'm just guessing based on my Model Y experience.
