Stupid music ... when we should be hearing the car and tires in this uniquely quiet race car?!

With all respect to Elon, it was unimpressive during the GRA event.

But it sure looked good doing it! Plus I imagine it was pure stock with OEM tires. And I know nothing about the driver's skills/experience.

I only got to drive a Tesla for about an hour on city streets, I would imagine it would be very difficult to drive in an autocross. Its a relatively heavy car.

In the video you can see the effort he puts to turn the vehicle.

Here's a video of a electric car race (crash): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7aslSvO ... e=youtu.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Agreed, I would have rather not had any music at all on that video, but thanks to it I think it will be a night with The Crystal Method (BTW, love the High Roller track on that video)

I have autocrossed the Tesla. Not bad at all. This was bone stock and on street tires. Could use a little set up.
