Yes, 22 kW is bad. Many people entered the race with a Model S, only to find a full charge between stints takes 4 hours. The track has a 1 MW connection so 20 cars could charge at the same time without suffering a reduction in charge rate.

Weight does not matter much on the highway. It does on a race track. Even if you average 75 km/h (45 mph) including charging...

But it was funny the Roadster took it. Then, it may well be the lightest roadworthy EV around.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
