Exactly - it's a 12 second stunt. Blindingly fast.
Once.
Next run, the Tesla will be a lot slower. By run 4 or 5, it'll be heat-limited, and outrun by my wife's ancient Volvo wagon...
You can't track the car, because the controller heat build-up chokes the car's power. Car and Driver famously did a test, Tesla v. Porsche. The Tesla leapt ahead, then died as heat got to it, the Porsche ran away after that.
So, if your goal is to have one really fast run, stop light to stop light, then the Tesla is your stunt machine. Run hard on a road course, or at high speed, the Tesla can't keep up.
I'm curious, how are Tesla sales in Germany? How do they do on the autobahn at sustained high speed?
My VW Passat rental (diesel, six speed manual, wagon) a few years ago would run all day at 220-230 KM. Which was top speed for the car. Foot to the floor. Normal temps. A very impressive car, by the way.
Could the Tesla keep up with a rental VW wagon?
