In the distant past going to NorCal we'd stop here for a good meal. Sometime around 2010 they made some kind of deal where the employees could buy in and after that everyone was a boss and nobody wanted to do the menial jobs like waiting on customers. A great example of Atlas Shrugging.......

Not meaning to cast shade on Elon Musk and his laudable efforts to advance humanity but I have to admit I have some "Schadenfreude" about diesel being used to power electric.  I believe EVs are a passing fade that will have to run their course like a fever before we come out the other end with most likely hydrogen.  And besides, EVs handle poorly I suspect.  Can't handle curves or endurance racing.  They are a straight line drag car and even so, I would still take a nitromethane fire belching funny car shimmy shaking from side to side with flames coming out of zoomies against your fastest electric car any day of the week and even more so on Sunday, Sunday Sunday!

+1 but those aren't flames - it's downforce

At maximum throttle and RPM, the exhaust gases escaping from a dragster's open headers produce about 900–1,100 pounds-force of downforce. - Wikipedia

Wow!  I did not know that.  Very impressive.  But isn't that fire coming out of the zoomies or?

Mmmmmm tasty nitro methane marshmallows - we'll use some welding rod to spear them with keeping with the car theme.
