Update.

I took the Tesla on the TRE NYD drive. In total, I drove from my parents garage and back, a total of 176.4 miles. Rated range back in the garage was 21 miles. Still pretty impressive, considering this was spirited driving and up a tall mountain - which really eats electrons if you are pushing it.

I will say that I did start to get a little nervous at the halfway rest. I had a little too much fun before the serious hill climb. I think at the stop I had around 150 mile range left.

It's not a car i'd recommend to flog around canyons, too heavy, the torque and leancoming out of the corners causes the TC computer to freak out and think the car is losing control and corrects - odd feeling.

I did have the fastest 0-60 car there (pretty sure of that).
