at high 'racing' speeds, perhaps you should be aware that it doesn't have the best aerodynamics for road-holding (i.e. negative lift or downforce). also many people have reported some vibration issues that couldn't be resolved; https://forums.tesla.com/forum/forums/vibration-high-speeds

On the plus side, the Model 3 is much better with the cooling issues that S/X have when track racing. What cars this inexpensive have good downforce?

Can you kindly recommend a good $40k-ish car that actually generates downforce?

still, Tesla is a very good ctiy car. a larger and better-looking BMW i3 or a cheaper i8.

How much does aero matter on a 4100 lb. car? (1850 kg)
