CAN A TESLA MODEL 3 EMBARRASS A NEW BMW M2 & M850I IN A QUARTER MILE DRAG RACE?

EV Channels Review

In this episode of Thrifty Three, the non-performance Tesla Model 3, referred to as 'Thrifty Three,' is put to the test against two formidable BMWs: the M2 Competition and the M850i xDrive. The video highlights the surprising straight-line acceleration of the electric sedan, particularly against the M2. Despite initial struggles with launch control, the Tesla demonstrates impressive instant torque, often out-accelerating the M2 off the line. The M850i, with its powerful V8, proves to be the fastest overall, but the cost-effectiveness of the Tesla is a recurring theme, with the reviewer noting that two and a half Model 3s could be purchased for the price of the M850i. Ultimately, while the BMWs offer a more engaging driving experience for enthusiasts, the Tesla Model 3's performance for its price point is undeniable, making it a compelling option for those prioritizing straight-line speed and value.
