The outside of the car would get wet like a can of beer from the fridge with the AC cranked in 95% humidity.
I did 130 miles of track time at Eagles Canyon Raceway just outside Decatur, TX in my 911. I used about 3/4 tank of gas and was getting about 8 MPG. I needed to buy 10 gallons at the track just to be certain had enough to finish the day, and get on to a gas station on the interstate.
I can't begin to compare my 36 year old 911 to a not yet released new Tesla. The only thing they have in common is 4 rubber tires. My 911 is going up in value and Teslas will go down in value once the supply chain fills up.

Come bring your 911 to SoCal and commute in it for a month in stop and go traffic, then let's talk. Can it be done, Sure, I've done it. Used to drive my Carrera from Northridge to Marina Del Rey everyday via 405 fwy...But there are lots of things I used to do that I personally am just not interested in doing anymore...what can I say,, I'm getting soft man. Lol. Different tools for different jobs. Regarding value, I don't buy cars for investments, if they go up great, that's a nice side benefit.
