To counter your anecdote with another, a good friend who is weekend racing his Boxster at Laguna Seca was seriously considering buying a Tesla Roadster. But when he dug deeper, he found out that the Tesla can only be driven at full speed for a very short amount of time. After that, the battery temperature gets so high that the car switches into 'crawl mode' until the battery has cooled down again.
- pork 15y agoIMO, you drive the roadster for the 0-60, not the top speed.
- car 15y agoFair enough; just wanted to point this out, as it would be a drawback in a scenario as above, or driving on the german Autobahn.
- sliverstorm 15y agoIt's a roadster. Roadsters aren't for racing, IMO.
