Tesla Model S 85 at Nurburgring

This will take a while so be prepared, it's funny with the comments and well worth it. They also ran a Model S 60 in July and with overheating issues it took around 10 minutes. This is about the same time put up by Sabine Schmitz in a Ford transit van.

If you track a Tesla:
It also looks like you have about 2 laps at a regular track and the car starts shutting down due to heat.
Then they'll ask,'do you want to run it some more, you paid for the time?
Sure do, where is the charging area that works, I need a good hour or so...

As for trips, the faster you go, the more battery you use and watch for extended power outages...

I would expect any 100K car to do that. 1LE option, shows you I don't care for the best off the line performance. If you haven't already, check out the verses section!
