Oh, I thought it might be something to do with gears…

Might be…

Tesla doesn’t have them.
The Taycan has a twin speed gearbox but still suffers from the same drops in range at higher speeds.

Randy has done the Pikes Peak in a Plaid



His last attempt was not so successful



His telling of the story is entertaining on vinwiki on youtube

The Plaid won it's class and was relatively close to the overall winner which was a pretty serious race car.

Course was shortened due to weather simulated time was expected to be 9:20 over the full course.

It's safe to say that the Plaid is pretty quick.
