Cooling hasn't been an issue with the Model 3, which really surprised me. But I've run it hard for multiple full sessions on 100+ degree days in the high altitude desert in UT.
For reference, a few years back Acura brought out a couple of their then-unreleased NSXs for testing. They blocked off their section of the track from spectators, but couldn't hide the fact that the cars broke down multiple times that day from overheating. It's just a brutal environment, so I'm pretty confident the Model 3 holds up.
We'll see as the car gets faster. IMO the biggest factor is power reduction from drop in SOC.
