[@mikeblatzheim2797]

@@JoergTaubitz I don't know wether you've heard, but even Tesla fans agree that the Model S doesn't really like going around corners. Add to that it's limited top speed and it's a brick that has fast initial acceleration, which would struggle massively around the Nordschleife. A track that has bumps which unssetle a car (bad if you've got a wobbly chassis like the Tesla), fast corners and very long straights. The Tesla might beat a normal 3-series if it's lucky.

Amazing lap from one of my dream cars. Seems like a lot of turbo lag though? The last corner before the start I think it's most obvious, where throttle is pushed fully, but power comes in a little later, even though it's at 4K RPM. Maybe it's traction control/ESP instead of lag? Also seems like a big gap (250 hp) between no turbo pressure and full pressure, that's insane haha.
