you can go online and watch race after race without the tesla slowing down. its about 2% battery loss per run, and the car doesnt start pulling power until below ~35%
so, you have 25-30 runs before you have to plug in again. i dont know of any sub 100k dollar car, that runs 9s, that can do it 25 times without MAJOR overhaul.
ICE is dead at the drag strip. at least for street cars.
