That's basically what I wrote in my original post. The car is fast as f, but only for a very limited time. The joke of them not being able to perform is certainly not true anymore. Do they have room to improve? absolutely. That's why I said it is the future vs the past, we are somewhere in the middle at this point.

As you said, getting out on track is fun no matter what. I don't care if it makes noise or no noise. What's fast is fast, slow is slow. The Model 3 Performance can perform closer to a GTR than a Z, that's a fact. Your point about them not consistent is absolutely true. I was frustrated that I didn't get to improve my time because I ran into a moving pylon on lap 1. At least with modern technology, you can easily review the data and see how much you can improve roughly. It's the drawback of having cheap speed, I guess you can just buy a Mustang GT and be done with it....

To me, it seems like it would be extremely frustrating to be driving a different car around the track every lap, which is what appears to be happening since the power isn't consistent. You can't even tell if you improved your lap times

But for me, getting out on the track is like getting out on the golf or disc course. If I'm out there, it's already a win. Tracking positive results is just the icing on the cake
