Tesla Motors Club
I was watching Jay Leno’s garage and he drove the new Vette. They mentioned a total of 4 times that the engine is limited 15-20% for the first 500 miles so there’s no damage to the engine or other components.
They made a really big deal about it. The Chevy guy said he sees people do a burn out leaving the dealership and it’s so bad for the car. They decided to limit it.
I couldn’t tell if this will be on all production cars or just this test mule but found it really interesting.
When I bought my first Tesla I asked at delivery what the break in period was and they said there isn’t one. I drove slow the whole way home until I could confirm online.
I for one am really excited about the C8, just crazy that they have to possibly limit the power on first 500 miles. Did they do that on the Z06?
