Hell, I want to drive it up the mountain myself! I want to see this Tesla Model 3 become the fastest 4-door electric car ever to make its way up the mountain. That may be enough to make me biased here, I’ll admit. I genuinely like Ben, and I respect the heck out of Randy, too - even if he did always spend more time talking to Tommy Kendall and Warren Mosler than he did to me (totally understandable, Randy). Randy Pobst and I have met several times, as well.

So, full disclosure: I’ve known Ben Shaffer for nearly two decades. You’d be forgiven for thinking that we’d reached Peak awesomeness (Get it!?) with the spoiler and the road diet, but you’d be wrong. Thousands of dollars in parts, tossed aside and casually sacrificed to the racing gods - it just doesn’t get any better than that, does it? Replaced, here and there, with chassis braces, roll cages, and supportive racing seats. The message of seriousness continues inside the Model 3, where anything and everything that doesn’t directly contribute to the safety or speed of the Tesla has been jettisoned. The whole car is lowered into an aggressive, sporty stance over lightweight 1-piece racing wheels, while a high-mounted, high-downforce wing makes another serious statement of intent at the back. Lightweight carbon fenders and swoopy side skirts also feature heavily in the car’s distinctive look, along with some high-contrast UP graphics. At the front, the Pike’s Peak Model 3 is distinguished from its more pedestrian brethren by an ultra lightweight carbon fiber version of the company’s high-efficiency aerodynamic body kit.
