Tesla's most recent numbers showed 9000 model S's sold last quarter with most of those being plaid. I just ordered one with an estimated delivery date in April. I will be happy to spend my 200 mile daily commute blowing everyone's doors off

How many GT2RS cars were ever built?
Plaid production from a mid-June article: “We’re in production and gonna deliver the first 25 cars now, and then basically should be at several hundred cars per week soon and a thousand cars per week next quarter,” Musk said. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/11/tesla-model-s-plaid-delivery-event.html

you wont be able to swing a cat by its tail in a parking lot without hitting a few plaid model S in a few months around here. Its still pretty new, but there are certainly no shortage of p100Ds, the last flagship.
Comparing the car to a gt2rs makes no sense to me. Its a big sedan daily driver. AMG MB, M5s, panemeras, Taycans etc. Id take a base model cayman over any of these including the plaid. However if I wanted a crazy fast commuter plaid would be at the very top of my list. Its not like it is a completely one dimensional car. Its a nice sedan with fantastic EV range, semi reasonably priced all considering. It also happens to accelerate in a way that almost defies logic.

Oh my! Just can’t take it that the Plaid is so fast! Most think it looks very nice . I think folks are just upset because it is so much faster that that 64 Pontiac or 65 Mustang they have in their garage that go 0-60 in 7 seconds flat!! Wait until the Lucid Air comes out soon with a 500 mile plus range!!!!!

Sadly for Tesla, the 300hp Megane is only a couple seconds slower per lap.

 But with only half the hp of the Tesla the SUV takes 3.7 seconds to reach 60 MPH from a standstill and 11.8 seconds for a quarter-mile. ..tho likely not an 11.8 quarter-mile on the Rubicon trail. Such sacrifice for an all around great vehicle.

The Tesla Plaid is a 4 door family car. Like a Buick! Not made for the trail.
