Tesla Roadster runs for 241 miles in Monte Carlo e-rally ? Register Hardware

Look at the speeds though...

"Of course, it should be pointed out that the Tesla was driven by a company staffer doubtless practised in eking out every last mile from a charge, and that the speeds averaged on the run were hardly blistering – 90kph (56mph) on the motorways, 60kph (37mph) on trunk roads and 30kph (19) in the mountain roads. Tesla reckon the average speed for the entire journey was 45kph (28mph)."

A key detail not mentioned in that article is that the Tesla was the only car to cross the finish line.
