Hot time for plug-ins, including new super powerful Model S with AWD, and a Dragon's fiery 918 Spyder Car-BQ after gasoline overflowed.

Must be nice to be rich...

With the Tesla, do we lose the Frunk in favour of the second motor?  Who cares - fast and uses no gas, now with AWD!

As for the 918, it could be an issue with placement of the exhaust, but how could he have 'continued refuelling' if the mechanism should be to stop after it's full?  My Corolla stops 4+ times (I've tested, bad bad Noto, I know) before gas would spew out.  How many times did he keep going, or better yet, why isn't the Corolla classified as a supercar?  ;D Don't answer that.

"One Porsche the latest Tesla doesn’t outmuscle is the exotic 845-hp 918 Spyder"
Slight price differential there also. I don't think beating the Spyder was Tesla's mandate when designing the new D series.
