a hybrid system like the BMW i8 would be pretty cool. until we get battery tech further along, at least. Imagine a hybrid system that also involved an inline-4 motorcycle engine. I would take that compromise in a heartbeat. Let the electric motor cover the gap in fuel milage, emissions and torque.
Holy grail. |

Tesla made all sorts of performance claims in the past - something that fell apart at VIR a couple of years ago. The Tesla 1/4mile trick is great but it can only do it twice in a row. At the end of the day thats all its got. Take the badge off and it could be a Mazda 6 - except it doesn't have the fit and finish of the TOTR Mazda and is triple the price. |

When EV's become mainstream you'll see charge times fall. It will be years before it's that fast however. |

Take it up to higher altitude, and it'll run faster. All the power, less drag.

The Viper, Aventador, Huracan, 918, and GT2 RS are all faster the Nio. The ability to pack and unpack electrons is governed by well understood Physics not by car manufacturers |

Literally everywhere that I search on the interwebz states that the Nio EP9 is the fastest. Except perhaps wiki, because they list the EP9 as non-production.
https://nurburgringlaptimes.com/lap-times-top-100/ granted, it's not really a "production" car... but still proves that the technology is there. |

Agreed the Nio shows what is possible (but most would see it as a ring in)
1-Porsche 991.2 GT2 RS - 6:47 - legit 2-Radical SR8LM - 6:48 (realistically this is a race car with lights) 3-Huracan Performante - 6:52.1 - legit 4-Radical SR8 - 6:55 (again race car with lights) 5-Porsche 918 - 6:57.00 (legit) 6-Subaru WRX STI Type RA Prodrive - 6:57.50 (Effectively works rally car with gearing and aero for record attempt) 7-Aventador LP750 4SV - 6:59.73 (legit) 8-Dodge Viper ACR MkV - 7:01.30 (legit) 9-Nio EP9 - 7:05.12 - (not a production vehicle) 10-Nissan GT R Nismo - 7:08.68 (legit) 11-AMG GT R - 7:10.92 (legit) 12-Gumpert Apollo Sport - 7:11.57 (legit) 13-Dodge Viper SRT ACR - 7:12.13 (legit) 14-Porsche 991.2 GT3 - 7:12.70 (legit) 15-Corvette Z06 C7 - 7:13.9 (legit) |

They're getting there, the more I read about the super charge stations from Tesla the better I feel about the future of the platform. Nissan has done a lot to make EV's mainstream and affordable with the Leaf, Tesla has done a lot to make them sexy. |

How many time can a Z06 go down the strip in a row ? Who about a Subaru before starts to know and pull timing? The Tesla cars have issues at road course but not at a drag strip... But maybe the Model 3 will be a different story. Whether you like it or not an EV is the faster car around the Nurburgring. |
