Thank you!!!
That’s all I was saying! Apart for this the Tesla is a very capable car.
You said it turned like a pig. It doesn't. It just doesn't turn like an M3.

Tell me you've never driven an EV without telling me you've never driven an EV.

To answer your question, why wouldn't you? There is NO more precise form of automotive propulsion than EV. People go gaga for NA vs. Turbo yet EV absolutely smokes them both for responsiveness vs. your right foot. My buddy above with all the track experience loves surprising the hell out of "better" track cars in his Taycan. He has converted many drivers to wander over in the paddock / garage for a discussion after he's absolutely housed them coming out of corners and disappeared down the straight.

The challenges are twofold: brakes and power longevity / overheating. When he first tried his early Teslas, they couldn't last a lap at Laguna without going into limp mode. Now his Taycan will last most of a 20 minute session before it overheats.

When Porsche brings out the GT version of the Taycan (they are, it has been spotted testing) they will have fully solved these issues. Coupled with DCFC at the track and it's a very enjoyable way to experience it.
