Chris Harris said it best, Tesla is a one-trick pony. Incredible in a straight line up to a certain point. But I've yet to see one at a track day and am confident it can't complete a full 20 minute session at pace.

Teslas seem to be built for, and most appreciated by, tech and gadget geeks and environmental crusaders, not for car driving enthusiasts.

Musk is a coding nerd that is a great salesman and cult orchestrator, obtaining tons of other people's money to develop Tesla. He is certainly not a driving enthusiast as his goal seems to be to commoditize driving.

Having said that, wonder what Tesla could have done with the resources and technology they do have, if they didn't focus on gadgets like pop-out door handles, in-car games, auto-pilot, gull-wing doors, etc.
