Pro Racing Driver Describes Tesla Model S Plaid As "Dangerously Fast And Unstable"

Racer and driving instructor Misha Charoudin recently took a stock Model S Plaid to the Nurburgring to put it through its paces.

This was a fun read.

I'm curious on his take on a Lucid.

He already has done a range test and a first drive, so I would imagine his nurburgring drive should be coming up soon!
Also, if you want perspective on his take of the plaid, just watch the nurburgring lap the plaid did on the official tesla account(later beaten by taycan turbo s for ev sedan record). In this lap, the driver was horribly fighting the steering wheel and barely kept the car under control. Sure, the plaid does have better "grip" if you measure it with a skidpad(1.08 vs 0.92), but in all realworld grip AND speed situations (50-100) lucid will win.

I DO NOT understand the infatuation with 0 - 60 performance numbers. I know the whole auto industry is benchmarking their cars like that.
I never went to a drag strip, although I went few times to Lime Rock and Monticello upstate NY with my yellow car.
Shit, the Sapphire should be very interesting to compare.
