[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16634719, member: 159453"] There is a guy who runs a model 3 out with NASA, he is in my wife's running group. He gets 5 laps out of it before it overheats, but it's sort of a blessing because if he ran a full session, he wouldn't have enough time to keep the car charged. There is usually a few hours between sessions with the car plugged in, and he is usually one of the first people to show up to put it on the charger. I guess he is a really cool guy though, my wife said he is the first person to talk to her like another driver. Asking questions about her setup/tires/brakes, what lines she runs in specific turns, etc. He said the car was neutral and pretty easy to drive initially but he has done quite a bit in terms of suspension, aero, brakes and tires to get it to where it's fun to drive. It does beg the question of why you'd opt to consistently put a car that's "sort of" in it's infancy on a track every month when it's obviously not sorted yet, these aren't cheap weekends and he is getting cut short by at least 1/2. Not to mention the entry price of the car, and the cost of consumables is around 4x what it costs for something like a fiesta st. Different strokes I guess. [/QUOTE]
