[Continued] Will Tesla return to the Nürburgring next month?

Is there an official lap time for Tesla Model S @ Nürburgring?

It's been making a lot of noise lately (?) "Is Tesla officially measuring the lap time on the Nürburgring north course with the Model S, and that lap time will pass 7:42 of the rival Porsche Taycan Can you do it? "

From various information, finally

• The Tesla Model S is a Nürburgring, although it's a fairly enhanced car, with an unofficial tap time of 7:23.
• The tires for driving were changed from Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R to Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Sport RS.

• It seems that Tesla got a 30-minute Nürburgring running slot on September 21, 2019, so why not make an official lap time measurement here?

It was like being told.

Tesla stopped at the Nürburgring

It came here, and on September 19, 2019, it was talked about that "Tesla has stopped at the Nürburgring and is being towed."

Moreover, as you can see from this video, Porsche Taycan runs right next to Tesla's stop, which is a very interesting composition (laugh).

By chance, it's funny ^^

And that is.

As you can see in this video, I don't know if it was because Tesla stopped (has it broken?), But the Tesla official tweeted suddenly on Twitter as follows.

Can Tesla Model S Plaid put out 7:05 in Nürburgring?

Yes, according to their data from track tests, the Tesla Model S Plaid showed a lap time of "7:20" on the north course of the Nürburgring, with further improvements.

"When I come back to Nürburgring next month, I can get a 7:05 lap time on the Model S."

I'm saying!

Furthermore, it is also called "Until then, auf Wiedersehen Germany". In other words, it's like "in the meantime, again, Germany".

Yeah, I'm going home to America! !! Wait, what are you going to do tomorrow? !!

At the moment, eight models are able to run the Nürburgring as a production car (commercial vehicle) with a lap time of less than 7 minutes.

And when the time is 7 minutes or more, then

• 7: 01.3 Dodge Viper ACR (2017)
• 7: 04.632 Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro
• 7: 05.41 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991.2)
• 7: 08.679 Nissan GT-R NISMO (2015)

Yes, if the Tesla Model S hits 7:05, it will be a lap time to overtake the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the Nissan GT-R Nismo. yeah yeah. Really? !! That's fast.

… However, the Model S, which is said to be able to set this time, is said to have not been offered to commercial vehicles for at least a year yet, with three electric motor powertrains, chassis modifications, etc. And since it seems that various modifications have been made, such as the interior being removed except for the driver's seat, it is said that it is a delicate place to say that it is "lap time as a commercial car".

Anyway, at least Tesla officially says, "I may be able to set the time next month. Until then, again, Germany", so it seems that the lap measurement on September 21, 2019 will be forgotten tomorrow.

Also, if Tesla should exceed the time of 7:42 on the Nürburgring north course set by Porsche Taycan ... Porsche will surely come out with "time that exceeds it" again.

Because, the last time Porsche issued 7:42 was "Porsche Taycan Turbo", and Porsche still has "Porsche Taycan Turbo S" that goes above it.

Somehow, by a word of Mr. Elon Musk, "Electric vehicle lap time competition between Tesla and Porsche" that could not be beaten.

What will happen in the future?

… Maybe it will continue ^^

I love Porsche

And I'm sorry for Tesla fans.

I think that I can not switch to an electric car yet, but basically, I am blindly Porsche LOVE, so in this competition, I will support Porsche after all ^ ^

Taycan, do your best! (What a light cheer (laughs). Porsche, I'm sorry ^ ^)
