For all the people that are making a judgement call that they didn't drive the CT offroad because they were on DIRT roads.
Guess what, the OFFICIAL Baja 1000 race is on dirt roads. But, it's called an off-road race. It's a judgement call, but most people think of off-road as off paved/marked roads. I've done lots of traveling on the dirt roads of Baja, and even been there as a spectator (that's me in the pink shirt, in the photo). BTW, did you guys notice how slowly the other drivers were going on the video? Generally speaking you are driving fast/hard if you are averaging above 15mph on dirt roads in Baja. And, it wears you out! A few hours of driving dirt roads in Baja, and you're wore out! Those guys that race the Baja 1000 are animals!
I agree with cvalue13, I hope that Tesla doesn't try to sell this as anything to do with the actual Baja race. It was a good test of equipment at reasonable speeds (nothing like racing).
