That is the problem that needs to be solved for Tesla when they claim their model 3 performance is faster than an M3 around a track. M3 owners reply: maybe for 1 30 min outing, and you're done for the day....

Good point but I don't even think it would be quicker for 30 minutes. Probably more like 10 minutes. |
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
30 minutes is not ridiculous but 10 minutes is.
The Tesla Model 3 has a 310 mile range. |
Perhaps you are the one who doesn't know what you're talking about.
Quote from a Model 3 track test...
"having plugged in overnight and immediately hit the track with a full 310 miles of range, we could have run just over 30 full-speed laps before needing to unspool the extension cord. Right?
Not exactly. Heat buildup is inevitable.
After three or four laps the car begins to reduce power output."
How much time do you figure 3 or 4 laps is? I'm being generous in saying 10 minutes. That's why I'm pointing out that in say, 10 minutes of track time the Model 3 will no longer be competitive with a M3 and you'll be in 4-cylinder Honda Accord territory until the car cools down.
