Ingenext bypassed Tesla software to help the Model S plaid hit 216 miles per hour, Electrek reported.
A Tesla Model S Plaid hit its fastest speed on record Thursday after a software company hacked into the vehicle's software restrictions.
The nearly $130,000 Tesla model has not previously been reported to have run faster than 200 miles per hour.
André is not the first company to test the limits of the Model S Plaid.
MotorTrend said in 2021 that the Model S Plaid hit the highest 0 to 60 acceleration speed the publication has ever seen from a production car.
