Yes. By about the 5th lap around Laguna, you could feel it start to pull power.

Do people forget that there are several mid to high-end sports cars on the market which also have a hard time avoiding limp mode during a session?

I made 5 passes at the drag strip in my Model S without charging in between. The difference between my best and worst runs were 0.185 seconds and 1.3 MPH.
