So "next week" becomes Elon's time again. Hope they can find a sunny day to do that.

So production cars come with a roll cage? (And who knows what other customizations.)
Why go through the expense of sending a car over to Europe from CA if open track is not available? If they just need to drive the track during public days, then why not just use one of the cars in Europe? I am sure there are P100DL loaners around.He only said it would be on the ring not that they were trying for an "official" record. Isn't it open to the public most days?

The Porsche videos state that it is a prototype car. Not a pre-production car. So we really don't know what it was.
HUGE difference running a P100DL and a current P RAVEN
It is from the production model. Other than the roll cage, there has been no other change.But the Taycan number isn't from a stock Taycan from what we have seen. (It isn't even from a production copy.)
There is touristenfahrten allow you to drive your own car on the ring. But it's not the full lap, only BTG times. And it's not reserved so you have to deal with the traffic of all those other cars. So there is no comparable lap record possible.He only said it would be on the ring not that they were trying for an "official" record. Isn't it open to the public most days?
If you have a 12V DC to 120V inverter for your car, ever tried plugging it in backwards and see if you get 12V back? You won't. It's different electronics that convert DC to AC than back. From wikipedia on inverters:Yes, and I don't think that is limited to Tesla I'm pretty sure that is the way all EVs currently work that use AC motors.
In fact in some EVs they have routed the AC input through the drive inverter to charge the battery to save on parts. But I think there are complications that come up and that is why pretty much everyone uses a dedicated charger for AC charging now.
They are different designs, different pieces of hardware. What you have eluded to when EV's use their drive hardware for AC charging, it's likely them use their regen rectifier, not their drive inverter.A power inverter, or inverter, is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).

Circuits that perform the opposite function, converting AC to DC, are called rectifiers.

I am an electrical engineer, and formerly worked at Enphase, a solar inverter company. Our inverter was bi-directional, and used in our storage product (a competitor to Tesla's power wall). One side hooked to AC, one side hooked to DC, and you could command the control circuitry to push power either direction, using the exact same transistors - just the timing was different. It could move the same number of Watts in either direction.If you have a 12V DC to 120V inverter for your car, ever tried plugging it in backwards and see if you get 12V back? You won't.

Then why do all of their videos clearly state that it was a prototype?
