Tesla is in fact claiming the record for a four sedan.

Fred Lambert of Electrek is a twit and lacks technical knowhow.  He references a Tesla Tweet stating the Model S can, not did, a 7:20 lap time.  That one word is significant and does not imply that Tesla literally set that time.  Surprised that a lawyer didn’t parse the hell out of that article.
