The Porsche wasn’t a production car either guys. It also had a cage in it.
Saw this on IG today. Still don’t know how to embed videos
Hey look, product development! That's how it works.

Oh, believe me I know how this works. I am on Tesla’s team, I am a fanboy after all like I said lol.
Just thought it was funny.
Now I want to see someone riding a rivian roller skate around the ring for time. No vehicle body required. Just the roller skate and maybe a handle like on horse saddles.
That reminds me of GM driving the Fiero without body panels back in the day.

And that will ensure it never sells below MSRP (even with 30k miles on it).
The new Tesla Roadster will be a more direct comparison for the Porsche.
Couple places online are now reporting that the 7:20 time is extrapolated from the best segments they recorded across multiple laps. Not a single lap record and not a recorded lap record. Hahaha sorry if that’s true that is the funniest thing I have heard all week.
By that hat definition I can do a 1.23 at leguna seca
In reply to wearymicrobe :
The 7:20 was never timed by Tesla. They were not allowed to time anything during those laps.
That was measured by people that are not affiliated with them, from the trackside.
In reply to nimblemotorsports :
Agreed - If the production version of that car is anywhere near the published specs, it should do well under 7:00 at Nurburgring.

The roadster that they hyped a ton (and took millions in interest free deposits for) back in 2017?
The roadster that Musk says is a lower priority than basically all of their other projects (some of which we haven't even seen)?
The Roadster that's still at least 2 years away, even with Tesla's notoriously optimistic time tables?
