In other words, this Model S (not Model 3) set a record on Seca in the same way that the Taycan did on the ‘ring.

This means that with someone like Pobst it could come down another second or two, Wow!

They were in the “industry pool”, which I expect has to be reserved in advance.

Land Rover: Breaking down where others fear to tread. 

With Tesla not having retailers, I’m not sure how well that’s served them in their service model. They can’t handle trade-ins, for example.

Not too long ago a super car was a sports car that had over 400 hp, brembo brakes, could pull over 1g on the skid pad and run a 4 second 0-60.

A Model 3 driven by Randy Pobst seems to do fine on a track. Granted, it wasn’t the Ring, but he was out for a while.

I always had the impression that “lease payments” were a way for people who could buy Toyotas and Mazdas to instead lease entry-level BMWs and Mercedes. I didn’t think it applied to cars that cost $150K+, except for the small slice of business people who could deduct the costs.

I know plenty who own both. I will be one of them by the weekend. 

Take a look at the website today. Tesla Model S Performance edition is $100K.

Porsche believes that they are worth this price premium. For the first year at least, this is clearly true. 

The top Tesla Model S is $100K before options. 

Your prices are old. Price it out today, and you will see that the Model S performance is $100K.

Porsche Macan S owner here, and soon to be Tesla Model 3 Performance owner, so I like both brands.

The Telluride doesn’t have the snout that screams “BMW!”, and that’s worth $$$$ to some people. 

It’s true that gasoline engines require a launch control to get the engine and transmission setup to optimize the available traction.

Forget the 720S and its pricing.

I own a Macan S. Got it with summer tires and torque vectoring. Added a suspension lowering kit and reflashed the ECU. It outhandles and outruns many sedans.

I own a Porsche Macan S. It came with summer tires and torque vectoring. It has been further modified with an AccessPort ECU tune, and lowered suspension. It does 0-60 in about 4.5s and handles better than most stock sport sedans.

Well, you walked right into his (her?)  trap.
