Here is a video of a model 3 on the nurburg ring, the battery starts to overheat only 1:30 into the lap (1:50 minute mark in video).



In a similar video on same track two guys take out a track modified Model 3, the driver mentioned the car starts to cut power shortly after the battery overheats. Overheat starts at 10:20, and driver mentioned power loss at 10:55.



the car consumed ~40% of it's battery charge in just one lap at the 12:25 mark.

At the end of that one lap at 11:35 the display (dash) shows multiple overheat alarms (tires/brakes/battery). At 13:10 they mention the weight of the car was overheating the tires.

At 13:35 he mentions a lap time od 8:13. On the "list" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...eife_lap_times), a BMW Z4 beats that time.

Scroll to the bottom of that ^ list, the official non-modified model 3 performance time is 9:00 flat, 5th slowest to make the list.

These are not track cars. Autocross or beating minivans at stoplights, sure, maybe...
