The Tesla CEO, Elon Musk via Twitter has confirmed that Tesla’s Plaid Model S is faster than a Formula1 car in racing from 0 to 60 mph when it comes to a standing start. According to him, Formula1 cars are not able to unleash their full potential during a standing start as he believes most of the Formula1 car’s speed comes from aerodynamics[which works better the quicker the car is going].
As per Tesla, the Plaid Model S is believed to be the highest performing electric sedan ever built. It has the longest range and has the quickest acceleration of any electric vehicle in production.
