Every month or so. I take my wife's Forester XT and redline it a couple of times. Smokes like crazy. Subsequent redlining-no smoke. If I were a betting m an I would bet it helps the intake valves.
Italian Tune-Up (no disrespect to Italians)

My Tesla too... 0-100 in about 6.5 seconds... 40-100 is a blur. Just sayin'...
? ? ?
Maybe his Tesla gets an Italian tune up? And smokes a little at redline?

Yeah stops the carbon build up
It gets the oil up to proper temp.
I'd like to think that the car always runs better after a couple hard on-ramp pulls (on a warm engine, of course). Driving on Nebraska (75mph limit) or N/S. Dakota (80 mph limit) interstates probably doesn't allow much carbon build-up, either, and I'm frequently on the highway anyhow, so I would like to imagine my engine being pretty carbon-free.
Of course, sometimes the cruise control tries to make the car do this on its own when set at such high speeds and encountering minor-moderate hills.
I always think of a story of of Northstar V8s running poorly and techs dumping in a bottle of Techron-equivalent and revving them a good bit to clear them up.
To a point, it seems that running is the best thing for an engine.

Holley four barrel sounds nice opening up the secondaries on a blast from 0-?? Sounds like it's sucking the moon down through the hood!
Carbon cleaned out? Check.
Yeah, the opposite driver cleaned out my femur when I was on one of them.
I'd just stick to cleaning out the carbon. Less intrusive.
I hit 140 in my BRZ on an empty country 4 lane road and a sport bike was surprised I would challenge him on the top end. I got the jump cause I snaked my way through slower traffic first and he was about 10 car lengths delayed.
I held it for a few seconds at 140 and got off the gas cause of slower traffic about a mile a head.
BRZ very smooth at that speed and I set the shift ‘chime / beeps’ at 7000 RPMs.
If you met me in person there’s no way I look like I enjoy driving fast if conditions are safe.

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly......
So little. maybe 8oz every 10K miles if that. None of my subarus used oil. My o8 started using some at 150K miles
No bc when I do it 10 minutes later there is no smokeCouldn't the smoke just be excess un-burned fuel?
