Whoever gets to take the car home is one lucky guy/gal! It's a really nice car to drive. Brace yourself before you floor it.

Tesla may be able to put your team in touch with some of their suppliers who are more established and more able to offer financial sponsorship to your team. I was able to get some electrical parts as donations in-kind for a team that way before.

Something else that Tesla may be able to contribute would be some top notch mentors. Their car is very well designed and very well thought out. They didn't do that with mediocre engineers on staff.
