Will the Plaid exceed 200mph?

I could see Elon doing something like this as a surprise. Seems like the Powertrain is capable but Aero, tires, etc… is still TBD

It'll do whatever the tyres are good for, which I assume is 200

Tire limits are certainly one of the limiting factors. I also think Aerodynamics may have a decent impact as well. It would be interesting to see what speed this car would be drag limited….

Way less aerodynamic cars hit 220 with way less power.
