> A million consumer miles is very different from 3000 endurance racing miles. It's not a coincidence Porsche is the most successful Le Mans team of all time and their cars can be absolutely beat on at the track without missing a step.
Definitely valid points here. I didn't mean to say that Tesla's million consumer miles meant that they could automatically endure Le Mans, but more that it's clear the technology scales very well. Maybe Porsche will come out of nowhere with an even more stable and more performant electric car that has a 6000mi range and can just hold the pedal down the whole time. Who knows, but my instinct says the eventual winner will definitely be electric.
