Aaryesh G. The top speed is limited because of the energy available and the behaviour of electric motors at higher speeds (it has no gears). I think I calculated that driven hard you'd only get 60km out of a full battery (3 laps of Nordschleife) rather than 500km.

RR3Germ Musk has considered this and suggested it could be a software update but in reality, once you get used to it, you don't miss the noise. Most car manufacturers spend a lot of money trying to keep engine noise out of the passenger space and after all this is not a race car.

RR3G'hamO. Oddly, since I made a similar threat you don't hear many people ask for Nordschleife any more. Point taken :-D
