Tesla installed a Supercharger at the iconic Nürburgring race track in Germany, the company said on Wednesday, further fueling the electric-car maker’s unofficial competition with Porsche.

It’s not Tesla’s first Supercharger in Germany, a country synonymous with supercars, thanks to heavyweights like Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi. The location shown in the tweet is not yet on Tesla’s online database of Superchargers.

On Tuesday, a heavily modified Tesla Model S completed a lap of the circuit almost 20 seconds faster than Porsche’s new electric Taycan, the automotive magazine Road & Track reported. The faster track time comes after Tesla CEO Elon Musk poked fun at Porsche on Twitter for calling the Porsche Taycan a Turbo, which stoked the perceived rivalry between the two automakers.

Porsche's Taycan, while a competitor with Tesla's vehicles when it comes to specs, is far from being comparably priced. The cheaper Taycan Turbo starts at $153,510, while the Turbo S clocks in at a whopping $187,610. Tesla's cheapest option, the Model 3, meanwhile, starts at $38,990. A fully loaded Model S can top out at nearly $115,000. A Model X with all the options can climb to nearly $130,000.

Tesla will also have a slight advantage when it comes to overall speeds, with the Model S topping out at 163 mph, compared with Porsche's top speeds of 161 mph for both vehicles. Tesla's range - estimated at 345 to 370 miles by the US Environmental Protection Agency - is also likely to top Porsche, which says the Taycan Turbo S will have a range of up to 256 miles, while the Taycan Turbo will have a range of up to 280 miles.
