Isn't it a 4000lb car?
I've tracked an e63 wagon and it wasn't that fun after a few laps when the novelty wears off. Too much weight. I expect the Tesla will be the same. |
A large part of it is where all that weight sits. Here, it's really really low compared to other cars. I had the opportunity to drive one a few weeks back through some twisty roads when I was back in LA visiting friends and it feels surprisingly light in the corners. Granted that's not the track, but you can feel the M5 weight even in the corners. Not saying it's going to be great, but hides its weight very well IMO
