This is a great headline for Tesla.

The point isn't whether a Tesla could beat it in a real race, etc, this is just a "brand" moment for them.

At a previous company, we got burned using UUIDs as MySQL PKs. Turns out MySQL keeps data on disk sorted in PK order, so even a moderate INSERT workload would lead to lots IO and disk thrashing as pages kept needing to be rewritten.

Fun times...
