YOU CAN'T CALL IT A TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
arghhh. Different topic but similar concept, when the 911 becomes a BEV, will they put the electric motors out the back?

They decided to use the same name which most off us don't agree. Turbo S = can't touch this

That said, I'm obviously joking above but I also find the model designation a bit jarring to be honest. |

Am on the list but with few allocations to local dealers this will be a long wait.
Lots to like though... The quality will be day/night with a Tesla. That said, I spec'd the car at $217k. Not sure that I want to take a dive into first gen. EV at that price point. |

I rather Tesla spent time improving auto pilot instead of getting in a ring time race with Porsche. |

If you read the ring time run on Road and Track you find out that Tesla was running their TRIPLE - not yet in production electric motor system (one for each rear wheel and one for the fronts), the car tested was gutted to the metal to save massive weight, and the car had different rubber compound/and width to the stock setup. I would say weight reduction alone is good for 20 seconds - forget the same prototype engine that was in the "8 second" Roadster.
Porsche did tremendously well considering. |

Few people buy family sedans because of ring time, but I guess it's good for Tesla publicity. |

That said - Porsche's racing experience is second to none. That has helped them despite their late entry into this game. Performance wise - on a road course - I think in time, they will be hard to beat. What is great for everyone is this type of competition benefits the consumer - us - and this will cause an excellent performance war that we can all enjoy! |

I got my ass handed to me yesterday by a Turbo S. It was a stoplight race and he beat me by a good 2-3 car length. I need a real tune fast, my car is mainly stock with a racechip. I didn't use LC I just mashed the paddle once it turned green. I bet some of these JB4 guys on here would've given it a run for its money. The guy was on a test drive with his salesperson. I wanted to pull the window down and tell the salesperson he owes me 1/2 his commission because I just sold a 200K+ car for you
