Driving a Tesla in our PDE?

Pittsburgh International Race Complex welcomes your vehicle to our PDE program. We also want to make sure you are aware of the unique circumstances that driving a Tesla on track may bring.

Pitt Race cannot determine how long your vehicle battery will last during track driving. There are too many variables including the weather, the length of sessions, speed, distance, and the driver, that will vary the vehicles overall range.

We recommend that you bring your Tesla issued Mobile Connecter, adapters (NEMA 14-50 and NEMA 5-15), and reserve a power supplied paddock spot.

Electric paddock spots sell quickly. Please reserve your spot as soon as you can. They are $25 for the day and include a 50-amp power outlet. You may charge your car using your appropriate connector.

Pitt Race does not have a Tesla Supercharger or Mobile Connector station, so please be prepared for possibly longer charge times and have the appropriate equipment available.

Please follow all the other rules listed on the tech sheet and registration information.

If you have any questions, or would like to reserve an electric spot, please call the main office.
