I'll add a link to prove your statement is true: http://www.caranddriver.com/features/tesla-model-s-p85d-at-l...

Anyone who doesn't believe it, watch the video. Car and Driver took a Model S onto a track and in less than a minute it was limping in low-power mode as the batteries were overheating. They also ran into an issue where the brakes stopped working. This was just during one lap of a small race track.

The Model S is a luxury performance sedan, not a race car. It can't handle being pushed to its limits for any period of time. It just wasn't designed for that.

You only need basic knowledge of physics to see why a high performance car without large radiators would overheat when expending a ton of energy per unit of time. Sadly a lot of people here lack it.

... I feel like there's a valid counterpoint here that asks "Then what did you engineer?"

It's a fair question if you're bragging about performance but unable to endure even moderate track conditions.
