According to Car and Driver, Nürburgring Nordschleife "record-chasing runs are a universally accepted, objective measure of a car’s performance, and shaving seconds gives automakers reasons to grab some headlines."

Ok, what does the "P" stand for? Performance? Tesla's "performance" models are so named apparently only the differentiate models within their own offerings. A P100D and any Tesla for that matter lacks stamina and will fail miserably under constant acceleration. Basically most sports sedans, or any BMW will demolish a Tesla around a track such as the Nurburgring. The non-competitive Tesla will simply overheat. Inefficient electronics and/or an insufficient thermal management system are still big problems for EVs.
