The Tesla Model S prototype used to beat the Laguna Seca (California) speed record in its category will indeed result in a standard model that will be offered at the end of next year.Taking advantage of a new chassis that will provide 7 seats and a Plaid mode offering even more power than the current Ludicrous mode thanks to three electric motors, this version of the vehicle will be available commercially from October or November 2020, Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, told Twitter.
It is also this model that is in charge of beating the time of the Porsche Taycan built on the German circuit of Nürburgring, a record that has already been largely (but still unofficially) beaten.

At the same time, Elon Musk has confirmed a launch date of 2021 for its ambitious new generation Roadster. Not being a priority project, it comes as no surprise after other initiatives but still remains relevant with its breathtaking performance.
As a reminder, the 2021 Roadster, also equipped with three electric motors, must be able to achieve a 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds and offer 1000 km of autonomy thanks to a 200 kWh battery pack. This excess of power could even give him the luxury of beating the best time of all categories on the Nürburgring circuit, claims the billionaire.
