“It is now the fastest production car you can buy. Faster than any Ferrari, faster than a three-and-a-half-million-dollar Bugatti,” Leno said of the Tesla Model S Plaid, which retails for about $135,000.”
Maybe in the future racing cars will be electric but I wonder what happens during an accident, is it more or less dangerous?
Wait a minute. 152 mph isn’t even close to the record.
Its the record for production cars and not racing cars that you can’t buy.
So its the fastest car you can buy.
152 mph must be only for electric cars. Hell, me and my friend went 110 mph in just his 1977 van.
Still doesn’t sound right. I know older production cars that went faster than that.
Ferrari ’s fastest production car is an electric hybrid The SF90 can go 211 miles per hour and hits 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. By Dan Carney June 05, 2019
Yea I just c/p from the article. Maybe they didnt compare it to that electric/hybrid Ferrari car.
You can watch the youtube CNBC video in the link if you understand about cars.
Maybe he just broke the record for that make of car?
Thats not what they said in the video and the article.
The Tesla has an extremely fast acceleration as it has lots of electric power. I think electric cars will be faster and faster in the future, much faster than gas cars.
That’s impressive for a quarter mile in a production unit. Teslas are damn fast off the line. Only real problem is they’re not made to last, too many production issues.
@77nick77 Oh I get it, they’re not measuring top speed, they’re measuring acceleration over a given distance and yes they said that it beats Ferrari and Bugatti that cost millions.
Side Note : I Never Watched Leno’s Comedic Talk Shows.
qp||+||| Although I Loved David Letterman’s. The Way He Spoke With The Audience And Guests Always Felt Like You Were Apart Of A Family. As He Would Sometimes Seem To Have An Inside Joke With Those Watching The Show At Home. Thus Was Before I Began Loving Every Second Of Conan Obrien’s Show. Which Felt Like An Olde Highschool Buddy Telling You About His Fun Times At College. With All The Secretive Odd Nonsense And Parties At The School. One Of My Favorite Interview Clips Of Letterman Though, Happened When I Was Still A Very Young Kid. It Was With Madonna During The Times Mainstream Media Couldn’t Leave Her Alone. Although, She Didn’t Seem To Mind Pushing Cultural Boundaries. With Whats Acceptable Or UNACCEPTABLE (!!!). But If You Would Like To See Both Of Those Two Legends In Action, Check Out YouTube.

out for a spin on a racetrack in an attempt to break the quarter-mile land-speed record for a production model.
The future is now.
I checked the 1/4 mile stats for the Dodge Demon (9.65 seconds/140 mph), so Tesla is faster (9.247 seconds/152 mph).
