So here's what kills me...
Okay, so the Model S is a fast car that handles beautifully. But it's not a race car -- it wasn't designed to be a race car. It was designed to be a high-tech luxury vehicle, that, oh by the way, just happens to have insanely fast acceleration thanks to its battery and motor design.
The Model S gets compared to high end cars designed for racing, then it's frequently slammed for not quite keeping up. Really??? That fact that the production Model S luxury family sedan that seats 7 (with rear-facing seats) is even being considered to be put against some of the fastest cars in the world is testament to what an incredible car it is.
Win or lose [the race], that's still a big WIN.
