EVERY FAST TESLA: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This Carwow drag race pits every performance variant of the Tesla Model S and Model X against each other. The lineup includes the P100D, Raven, and Plaid versions of both models. Unsurprisingly, the Model S Plaid emerges as the dominant force, completing the quarter-mile in an astonishing 9.6 seconds, significantly faster than its siblings. The Model X Plaid follows closely, demonstrating impressive acceleration but ultimately falling short of the S. The older P100D and Raven models, while still quick, are clearly outpaced by the newer tri-motor Plaid variants. The video also highlights the considerable weight differences between the Model S and Model X, impacting their performance, especially in the heavier X variants. Despite the focus on straight-line speed, the review touches upon practical issues like the placement of controls and the effectiveness of windscreen wipers in adverse weather, adding a layer of real-world usability to the performance-focused comparison.
