In recent years, there has been a revolution in the automobile world. Vehicles with internal combustion engines are being replaced by electric cars. So much so that many automotive giants are making significant investments in this area. Tesla, one of the first names that comes to mind when it comes to electric cars, came up with an interesting record. The record came with the company’s Tesla Model S Plaid vehicle.
Tesla Model S Plaid broke the record by reaching a speed of 348 kilometers per hour
Tesla had a very successful year last year. The company, of which Elon Musk is the CEO, sat at the top of the automotive industry. Tesla Model S Plaid, one of the shareholders of this situation, showed with another drive that their success was not a coincidence.
Introduced about a year ago, the Tesla Model S Plaid can travel 643 kilometers with a single charge. On the other hand, the company stated in the introduction that the top speed of the vehicle could be 280 kilometers per hour. But a driver named Guillaume André broke all the rules.
Guillaume André sat behind the wheel of his Tesla Model S Plaid at Trois-Rivières airport in Québec, Canada. The driver, who started speeding, saw a speed of 348 kilometers per hour on the display. This value means a record for the electric car world.
In fact, the software of the Tesla Model S Plaid vehicle was designed to reach the highest 280 kilometers per hour. However, Guillaume André is the CEO of Ingenext, a Quebec-based company. So much so that the company sells car parts, kits, and modules that help unlock software-locked features in Tesla vehicles.
