As an engineer myself, watching the Hagerty interview [0] was an ...interesting experience.

Every time Tesla's VP of vehicle engineering [0] explains the Engineering of the product by stating that they are "breaking the laws of physics", everything he says is losing a bit of credibility...

He did clarify more than once that what he means is they’re doing things that are impossible if you rely solely on tire grip, because it’s just not enough.

Obviously they’re not literally breaking the laws of physics, but they’re breaking what has traditionally been possible putting power through tires alone.
