530HP MODEL Y PERFORMANCE V 565HP FISKER: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

In a head-to-head drag race and rolling race comparison, the Tesla Model Y Performance decisively outperformed the Fisker Ocean. Despite the Fisker Ocean boasting a higher horsepower and torque output (565hp vs 527hp), the lighter Tesla Model Y Performance (1997kg vs 2434kg) proved superior in acceleration. The Model Y completed the standing quarter mile in 12.4 seconds, beating the Fisker's 12.8 seconds. In rolling races from 30 mph, the Model Y also demonstrated a clear advantage. The reviewer noted the Fisker's significant weight as a contributing factor to its slower performance and also highlighted a concerning burning smell from its brakes after hard use. While the Fisker Ocean was praised for its value at £62,000 compared to the Model Y's £60,000, its performance in this drag race scenario was outclassed by the Tesla.
