Chopped Off Tesla Model S Plaid becomes Cyber-Kart

A wrecked Tesla Model S Plaid was turned into a drag racing “Cyber Kart”

A Youtuber, BoostedBoiz,  bought a wrecked Tesla Model S Plaid for $60,000 and turned it into a drag racing “Cyber Kart.”

The car was stripped down to its bare essentials: the doors, windows, roof, and seats were all removed, then the roof was cut off and and the car was given a roll cage.

The Cyber Kart weighs just 3,850 pounds, which is about 1,000 pounds lighter than a stock Model S Plaid. This makes it incredibly fast, and it was able to run the quarter mile in 9.66 seconds.
