Tesla Model Y Racing! UP Sets Fastest SUV Lap Record at Buttonwillow Raceway

This Unplugged Performance tuned Tesla Model Y just set a blazing fast lap time of 2:01.9 on prototype suspension and brake upgrades. In context the UP tuned Model Y is faster around Buttonwillow than the fastest registered lap time of the Porsche 997 911 Turbo and within half a second of the 997 GT3 track tuned car. All of this done in a crossover SUV that the night before comfortably allowed a full size mattress and a good night’s sleep at the track’s camp site.
Good luck trying that in the Porsche!

This new lap record for the Tesla Model Y joins the existing all time fastest Tesla lap record at Buttonwillow of a 1:54 in a Tesla Model 3 (The XPO Sales car managed by Remo Weber and driven by Joshua Allan utilizing all tuning parts by Unplugged Performance).
