Check out this incredible petrol vs electric drag race!
We’ve got our hands on the awesome Tesla Model S Plaid, and it’s facing off against an insane Corvette C8 that’s been tuned to 1,200hp!!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Tesla, it’s housing three motors under the skin that combine to produce 1,020hp and 1,420Nm of torque. Naturally, the batteries and motors weigh a fair bit, and the Model S tips the scales at 2,167kg. What’s more, this Model S comes with a few upgrades, including some Koenigsegg carbon fibre aero at the front & around the back!
Then alongside it, we have the Corvette, which has had a whole lot more work done to it than just adding some aero! As a result, the 6.2-litre twin-turbo V8 now produces 1,200hp and an amazing 1,491Nm of torque! So it’s packing a serious punch, but this power is sent to the rear wheels only!
So will the Corvette be able to put the power down? Or will it be a clear win for Tesla? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
Thanks to everyone who helped set up this race:

There should be a way to make the battery produce more power because supposedly the motors arent the limitation, but the batteries anility to supply enough energy since its the same battery as the LR. You can increase power while reducing capacity by changing up the series parallel configuration. you could upgrade the firmware, increase the wire guage for more power input, and upgrade the cooling for the battery. This would lead to hopefully maxing out the plaid's motor potential at the cost of a little bit of weight for heavier wiring, and reduced range.

@purwantiallan5089 4 місяці тому

@stefan_5.7 4 місяці тому
My exact thought process
@vanvan143 4 місяці тому
The drag parachute is not specifically mounted for this quarter mile race.
@mm6705 4 місяці тому
its set up for drag class rules, requiring a parachute to make multiple passes at or above 150mph in the quarter, and or below 10 seconds. iirc so its essentially a stock plaid, but one that wont get kicked out after the first run at the drag strip. Some strips wont let plaids run at all without a chute, they have notoriously poor brakes even at the first application, because the car uses painfully poor brake components as its only source of traction control. did you know the plaid doesn't even have DOT3 brake fluid? The brake pads are super low temp as well lol...its like they are purposely trying to kill their owners.

This modified Plaid is not for straight line speed as you can see huge front splitter and spoiler which only add more drag, so i believe it is designed to do well at the track and high speed cornering ability.
