In UK Autocar (normally v snippy about tesla - who unlike their favourites do not advertise ).
I’ll take that
.......... even if 3sec slower on track than a 300kg lighter rare supercharged EliseSC on 5th gear Recharged ...
(ICE racing drivers and trad autos journos really dont like new stuff and especially not EV's .. giving up a whole lifetime of experience of matching (limited) torque and noise to speed )
.... I must say I DO love Elise handling & weight - Its why I wanted the same but without noise and hassle aka my white 'Toaster'
Having tracked both, I'd say a Toaster matches a standard (lighter) elise, (for 3 laps before motor get too hot), the glorious steering is the same, but I'd trade the extra 300kg of battery for less range.
I guess Elon couldn't do that in 2008 as cynic journos would laugh at 'only' 100m range. Elon Won !!!!
