AutoExec Summary
Tesla’s Model S Plaid has reclaimed the EV lap record at the Nurburgring, lapping the circuit in an impressive 7:25.23min, 10 seconds faster than its previous attempt in 2019 and over eight seconds quicker than the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. The new Track Package, costing $US15,000, includes upgraded wheels, tyres, brakes, and software changes, enhancing the car’s performance without adding more power. Despite some controversy surrounding the record attempt, Tesla’s achievement showcases the Model S Plaid’s capabilities. Unfortunately, Australian customers will miss out on owning this impressive vehicle as right-hand drive production has been cancelled.
