I've not heard of any Corvettes "melting brake pads". Street pads are a compromise for the street, so you can always do better with any car with race pads. Let's use the Camaro ZL1 as a benchmark. Chevy spent a lot of time making sure it cooled properly for track use. GM even has track prep owners manuals for Camaros and Corvettes. Motor Trend couldn't get either the manual or automatic cars to overheat with their pro racer Randy Pobst. Tesla needs to do what Chevy did.
Sure, you can over drive any car, but the Model 3 Performance is at an order of magnitude behind most track oriented cars. It's done in three or four laps, and that's coming from a Tesla engineer.
In one track test, the pro driver got a brake overheat warning, due to the stock stability control.
Like I said, I don't think the car is that far off other than the darn stability control and cooling.
