Yes but the Bugatti Veyron Supersport was an older car (relatively )on older tires. The production version didn't go as fast as the record setting one because the tires were unsafe at that speed- so it was higher than the base Veyron, but not as fast as the record attempt.

Newer tires have advanced now which I guess is why they think these type of speeds will be attainable. However it could be similar to the Veyron again where the production version gets slightly dialed back again. We have to wait and see.

Edit: from Wiki - "The Super Sport has a 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) top speed, making it the fastest production road car on the market[4][35][36] although it is electronically limited to 415 km/h (258 mph) to protect the tyres from disintegrating."

These newer cars could run into the same problem. Who knows? Record attempts can be done with the same equipment with no limitations, but they may have to be put back in place during production for liability reasons.

Yep plus the oil franchises aint trying to get folks off the gas. Especially with these low gas prices folks really don't even worry about the cost.

It is when gas prices skyrocket that people start to think about gas consumption.

I THINK TESLA SHOULD HAVE WENT FOR AUTOMATED MASS TRANSIT. IT WOULD FORCE THE CITIES TO GET ON BOARD WITH CHARGING STATIONS FOR BUSES. MANY CITIES TRANSIT AUTHORITIES ARE ALREADY TRYING TO GO GREEN WITH BIODIESEL. THIS WOULD FORCE SOME FED DOLLARS INTO LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE. IF THAT TRUCK CAN TOP OFF IN 30MINS AND GET 400 MILES IT WOULD BE AWESOME FOR A BUS WITH NOWHERE NEAR THE WEIGHT. THAT WOULD BE A BACKHANDED WAY TO FORCE HIS CHARGING STATIONS INTO EXISTENCE. MORE CHARGING STATIONS = MORE SALES.
