43 Tesla Model S’s Circling A Racetrack (VIDEO)

August 20th, 2013 by Zachary Shahan

Chris DeMorro of CleanTechnica sister site Gas2 yesterday posted the below video of 43 Tesla Model S’s circling a racetrack. I’m not really sure what to make of it, but it’s fun to watch. Chris has some thoughts on electric versus gas-powered racing that some of you may find useful. Car racing has always been one of the most boring sports in my opinion*, so my only fascination with that is how people can actually enjoying cars racing around a track for hours… well, as well as the city planning ramifications (yes, that is exciting!).

So, TURN THE MUSAK OFF! I’d like to hear what they actually sound like going around the track. The clip is supposed to be about “silence the track”, so someone decides to dump inane, elevator music over the clip. Frustrating!
