Two factors: 1) batteries overheating is exactly what happened; there's a video on YouTube about this. 2) A Tesla is fast on a straight line, but it's not built for good handling and braking like Porsches (and the RR Sport) are, and braking and handling count A LOT on the 'Ring. May not make sense compared to what you might have expected, but that's the way it is.
