Porsche ready to defend its performance record against Tesla

AutoExec Summary
Tesla founder Elon Musk has announced plans to make Tesla cars cheaper, with a focus on performance. This comes after reports of the Porsche Taycan setting a lap record at the Nürburgring. Porsche’s electric car achieved a time of 7 minutes and 42 seconds, with a series-production car available for sale. In response, Tesla is developing a high-performance drivetrain called ‘Plaid’ which is expected to be in production within a year. This drivetrain will be available for the Model S, X, and Roadster, but not for the 3 or Y models. Porsche is confident in their record-breaking achievement and is open to the challenge from Tesla.
