Tesla performance driving school is REAL

...in China.

The Tesla official account on Weibo (Twitter replacement in China) posted a video. Basically a model 3 track day with the title.

Hopefully the idea would spread to US soon. Tesla Corsa is quite limited in California, other regions need the same thing to compete all those BMW/AMG/Porsche events.

Looks sweet! I'm sure Tesla has a Supercharger nearby for the cars at that track.

The big limiting factor is really charging at the track and that's something California got lucky with (i.e Buttonwillow has 20x chargers within 10 miles) I hope we start seeing some 50 kW Chademo stations popping up though. I've looked for the price of one online but can't find something bigger than 25 kW (which go for ~$10K). Even getting 25 kW at a track would be pretty nice compared to 6 or 8 from an RV plug.

For tracks that don't have nearby Superchargers, i'd definitely be willing to pay $.50/kWh or so to charge at the track.

Tesla should set something up on the East Coast somewhere...
