So I saw tesla's Elon musk test drove the new 4wd version of the s model 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds wonder if they will rally a few under the guise of greensport.
Electric cars will save rally!

Well, Tesla has been promising quick-change batteries 'by the end of the year' for around 2 years now.
Once that eventually does happen, It'll only take money to make it so a team could do it when needed.

Maybe it's soon time for a Tesla factory team grinning smiley



Enablers, All of you.

why not have quick change battery packs?



I would rather drive a slow car fast as a fast car slow!

I am pretty sure that rally does not fit their goals or hit their target market.

Their coupe looks better than a BRZ or FRZ thing and they do the alum monocock frame

Do minimum safety prep and cruise the stages and it would be cheaper than a blue Subaru! Derp Derp Derp.
