I think drifting looks like a ton of fun. The Tesla is light, has lots of power, and traction control is easy enough to turn off. Tempting...
But, as noted, there's that weight distribution issue. It seems to me that drifting may be all about having good control at the traction limit, but that's exactly where the Tesla would suddenly swing because of all the weight in the back that shifts out when the limit is reached. Perhaps the Tesla is not at all suited for drifting.
Then again, maybe drifting is more about control after traction is broken (varying the amount, while always small, of traction in the spinning tires)? Maybe that's not so bad--once you get past the break, it's more a matter of go-pedal modulation, and the Tesla seems pretty good at that, especially with regen built in to the pedal. Or is all of that control just through the steering? Has anybody tried drifting in a Tesla? If not, can anybody that's at least tried drifting with another car comment?
