EV's have barely been in serious development for about 15 years and majority of that time ONLY by Tesla. EVs are barely even getting started and already eclipsing ICE in nearly every facet. Give it 5 years or so at most before ICE is destroyed handily in every dimension possible (primarily less weight through higher energy density).

    Like Rory said, the tires make all the difference. "Comparing" two cars, one with and one without slicks, really biases things. Also, the more turns there are, the more that driver skill matters - the same driver should drive both, removing yet another difference and making it more of a true comparison between to specific cars. That said, for a shot at the lap record, nothing matters but the time.

      Hey, have you ever heard of DSC Sport? I ask because it's the most fun tuning the Magride. They tune it to be compliant (soft), but I tune my cars for performance and road feel. I didn't care for their tune at all - but you can customize it for performance without killing the road feel. There is a lot left on the table. I had a controller on my 1le and now I have one on my PP2 Mustang. It's a game changer.

      The Rimac Nevera is a gorgeous car, and I wish I could own one, but they're only making like 100 of them and they sell for $2M a piece. Let's not pretend it's competition for the Plaid, or even a "real car". It's an art piece that very few people will ever even see, never mind drive, so it may as well not actually exist for the purposes of comparison.

      Depends on the battery overhead. If the inverter is 400V and the fully charged battery is 440V, it won’t throttle until 75% SOC or when the battery hits 400 volts at wide open throttle. Dead flat is around 280-300 volts depending on what is in the management system. At 300 volts the motor may be getting 75% of the peak power the inverter can provide. In reality, 300v is close to 0% SOC it would be more like limp home mode because of the electronics trying to save the battery
