Expect The Tesla Roadster To Be Lapping Nurburgring In The Near Future

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has loads of grand ideas and future plans. To say he's optimistic would be a major understatement. While the Model Y came to market early, Gigafactory 3 in China went up in record time, and many other "promises" are coming true, there are always Tesla future projects on the back burner, such as the Tesla Semi and Tesla Roadster.

We could also mention Musk's early and repeated references to the Full Self-Driving capability and a cross-country demonstration, as well as self-driving taxis among other things. However, these are not as much on the back burner as they are continuously underway, just not yet ready and taking much longer to come to fruition than Musk hoped for.

Hopefully it can complete a legit lap unlike the other official attempts.

The Model 3/Y can do a full lap without overheating, so it will be interesting to see what these even never batteries can do. They have 6 times the power output and generate less heat. The old Roadster prototypes had a P100D battery pack in there, so if they updated the Roadster with the new batteries it will be epic.

In November 2019, Musk said that a Telsa would beat the Taycan on the ring.

I'm still waiting.
