Whoops! Tesla's Claim Of A Laguna Seca Track Record Is Not Officially A Track Record

After making a bunch of noise on Twitter about taking the Tesla Model S to the German Nürburgring after the Porsche Taycan set a record there, Tesla instead claimed it set a record time for a sedan around Laguna Seca. The only problem is the track reportedly did not officiate it, so their time didn’t “officially” break any record. You can’t make this stuff up.

Tesla is a joke. Glad that the other major automakers are going out with performance EV's so tesla can fade away.

It just shoots up the hill leading to the Corkscrew. Incredible! Official or not, that was a quick lap. Too bad about the sound, though.

Interesting, in an earlier story about this below it said "A similar prototype managed to break the record for the fastest four-door sedan around Laguna Seca, beating the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 by nearly a second with a 1:36.555 lap. However, the company doesn’t claim that record, as track officials were not present during Tesla’s test."

Nice video, wish F1 would come back to Laguna Seca, really a great and unique track.
