A couple months ago I posted a video of the fastest stock Tesla beating every other stock speed car in the world in a quarter mile drag race.

Corvette, Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Lotus...

The Tesla did not just win - it crushed all of them.

I hear Formula 1 is making plans to race electric vehicles within two years - but only electric versus electric at first.

A race with no sound effects? There goes the fun!

“A race with no sound effects? There goes the fun!”

A very good point, and I suspect it will be more of a factor in sales than we imagine. Notice today, all of the car commercials still use Vroom Vroom sounds. How will they sell a quiet car??

Formula E has been around a while and no longer is terrible. (At first the range was so bad drivers switched CARS mid-race.)

I hope the rules for electric vehicle racing will favor innovation in charging rates, range, etc. Nothing like competition to bring about improvements in a particular field.
