G series were never made to be efficient. I bet it's very quick, just not for long.I'd be very curious to see the range the short shoebox can achieve. My guess is they'll struggle to get anything above 85kWh on that platform.
I can only imagine how costly this party trick is. A 8000+ lbs school bus, with huge tires that are laying down rubber, spinning both directionally and laterally on asphalt. But I guess if you can afford to G-Turn…who caresRead the fine print always, haha.
“G-Turn must not be used on public roads. This stunt was performed by professional drivers on a closed road with support from local police and special preparation of the road.”

Even on wet pavement, that was probably hundreds of miles of tire wear. Maybe more. It also causes flex heating in the sidewalls.I can only imagine how costly this party trick is.
