Projekt E is what they want to be the future of rallycross. Start at 0:50min
Projekt E might be faster, but how many will pay or travel to watch?

They'll have to just start playing music at race events to give the spectators something to listen to and enjoy. I grew up speed skating and racing competitively so and we always listened to fast paced music which will get you amped up while racing so they should take that idea and and blast music around the track... or better yet, have live music events center track while the cars race lol.

I was just watching Motor Trends best drivers car videos on Laguna Seca just a few weeks ago with my kids... this Tesla’s speeds to each braking zone is bonkers. That thing is going to be a beast in a straight line!

Btw, this is faster than The Mclaren P1 as well as the new ZR1 and the new Ferrari F8. Torque vectoring is no joke! Why they designed it to look like a Chevy Lumina is beyond me tho smh.

Wow! The video (sound) DID make me instantly think of an electric go-kart track. LOL.

Bob, im hoping next year or the year after they do an exterior design change as they did with the interior this year. If they do and it looks better I may order one. I mean if ur gonna buy a really expensive car than it should at least look expensive lol.

I wonder if they will offer upgrades over the internet tho. Things like longer distance and more HP via wirelessly. I do hear that the mileage distance u get is FAR less than advertised.

Im guessing if u went really slow it might get the 520 mile range but who the hell could stay out of an 1100 whp car. Not me trust me I know.....lol

Usually free. Recently most model 3s got a free range update, think the S/X did too last year. Also silly stuff like new noises for the horn, video games, etc.

I am curious how they do a range update online? Is there something in the computer that limits range?
