A retro-mod 1971 'Cuda, with a Hellcat engine, drag raced a Tesla Plaid. Here are the results in an article posted by Motorious.com: "In a clash of automotive eras, a Tesla Plaid and a Hellcat-swapped 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda faced off in a drag race showdown, with surprising results. The Tesla, with its tri-motor AWD powertrain, showcased its electric prowess against the classic Mopar muscle, leaving enthusiasts wondering about the potential of an electrified 'Cuda. As the drag race unfolded at Showtime Speedway Pinellas Park in Clearwater, Florida, the Tesla Plaid, driven by YouTuber Andrew Lutz, demonstrated its lightning-fast acceleration, clocking an impressive 6.2297-second eighth-mile run at 118.51 mph. Meanwhile, the Hellcat-powered 'Cuda struggled to keep pace, spinning its wheels and ultimately falling short with a 6.6177-second pass at 109.68 mph. Despite boasting a formidable 707 hp from its supercharged engine, the Hellcat 'Cuda couldn't match the sheer power and torque of the electric sedan, which delivers over 1,000 hp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque. Although the classic Mopar may have had the advantage of lighter weight, it was no match for the instant torque and traction of the Tesla Plaid." Tesla Plaid Leaves Classic Mopar 'Cuda in the Dust
I've seen video of Tesla's accelerating hard on a wet road surface without breaking traction. Not sure how (though some electrics are outfitted with a special compound tire).
They have the same tread as a steering axle tire. Lower resistance so they can say it has better range.
As I've said many times before I'm totally UNIMPRESSED with electric powered cars. I don't care if they have 5 thousand hp and go from Zero to 300 MPH in one tenth of a second I don't care. Not interested !
Yeah, and I’ve heard guys say they don’t like fake boobs, but they sure look, feel, and taste like the real thing!
