I've seen Tesla Model 3 Performance able to complete a 20 minute session driving in track mode at speed at Buttonwillow.

A full charge takes about 25 minutes at a near by supercharger station.

While they're not quite "there yet" for people who demand track performance...Really, how many people track their performance cars? 0.5%? 0.05%? When they're far superior at 99.95% of everything else you'd ask a car to do?

Buy a 911 GT3RS to go along with the Taycan if numbers of 'Ring laps is your primary concern, IMO.
Thanks for the info, but no thanks for the unsolicited opinions.

I really don't care about 'ring times. It is the most overrated and irrelevant number thrown around in car marketing nowadays.

I do care if they mentioned how long the battery lasts going full bore like that and how long it would take to recharge when depleted.
