Elon;
Yes, altitude should be a problem for unblown cars but at least the air is
pretty cold and the drag sure would be low!

At 12,467 ft altitude (on a good day) I doubt unblown cars would make the
trip. Blown, with sea level manifold pressure (or better), should get
those eyeballs WFO in the thin air!! -Elon

Here's another big salt flat--Salar de Uyuni:
