Here's what is up now:

Quote:
On Saturday, Sept. 7, a Tesla spokesperson provided Road & Track with the following statement: "Tesla is excited to be a part at the Industry Pool testing community next week at the Nürburgring. Our participation is confirmed and contracted by the Nürburgring."

"Industry Pool" is the name for the Nürburgring's open-lapping test sessions reserved exclusively for automakers and auto industry suppliers. You've likely seen spy photos or videos from Industry Pool sessions—this is where automakers and suppliers test and tune their prototype vehicles on the 'Ring. Lap timing is prohibited during Industry Pool sessions—there's often heavy traffic, with everything from supercars to SUVs, and while drivers can occasionally run a fast segment when traffic allows, it's impossible (and against the rules) to run a complete lap at full speed during Industry Pool.
So it sounds like Elon was speaking out of the wrong orifice once again.
