The most amazing thing about Plaid's to me is how well and aggressive
the traction control and AWD work, they never spin a tire regardless
of track conditions and are consistent as hell.
We have some fast modified Demons at Irwindale every week
and it takes about 975 hp at Demon weight to stay ahead of them!

As for what’s going on w Tesla stock and the company itself watch TUCKER or the aviator and you’ll see real similar situations many moons ago

Does anyone know that Fisker (allegedly) stole all the plans for the Tesla after being hired to work for them? Failed but makes you wonder about other cars that are so similar .

Plaid is really shocking as a passenger... No wheelhop, no spinning, car is not moving around, and it goes 9.20@151 as it sits with no weight reduction.
