There’s some very bizarre discussion over at Jalopnik regarding this effort.
I’m in the camp that doesn’t think Tesla will be able to touch Porsche’s run with a stock Raven LR but the progression in the auto media has been:
-Elon is full of sh*t
-He’s actually sending cars but they’ll overheat
-Oh they went to Laguna Seca instead but Laguna isn’t the ‘ring and the Laguna time won’t beat the limited production Jag they’re certainly forgetting about
-Okay the time beat the Jag but there was no official to certify it so it’s null and void
-Okay they sent a car to the ‘ring but it’s modified and they don’t have any time slots so this is stupid
-Well they DO have time slots but they only have a non-production car
-Okay so they also have a production car but it will overheat
-Okay it won’t overheat but this is stupid and dangerous(?!) to have a legendary racer using the ‘ring for its exact purpose
If Tesla even remotely approaches Porsche’s time with a stock-ish Model S it will be an enormous smack down.
The keyboard jockeys in the car nerd world are totally losing their *sugar* over two electric cars making all the gassers passé. It’s weird and amazing.
