    Bugatti new record 304 mph
    I would love to hear Elon Musk answer this, since he wants the roadster to be a smack down on every metric of ice cars.

    When the Roadster was announced with a top speed of 250+ that was still below the record.
    I don’t see how this new record changes anything for tesla

    I would not waste time trying to beat that if I was Tesla. Where exactly can you even drive that fast? In everyday/local track driving, the Roadster 2.0 will smoke that thing.

    The amount of finite gasoline burned emitted into the atmosphere driving that fast makes it inferior to what the Roadster can do burning zero gas and emitting zero emissions

    Record for what a production car? That car was modified. John Force can do 300+ in a modified Mustang in 5 seconds.

    Gasoline is an infinite resource.
    We’ll never run out, there’s an endless amount of crude oil under our flat earth!
