and one outing caught on camera shows the electric sedan doing just that. The video comes from the Drag Racing and Car Stuff YouTube channel, and it shows the four-door has plenty of electrons to crush some gas-powered competitors.
The Model S Plaid lines up against some worthy competitors, too, the likes of which most other cars would cower at meeting. The McLaren 720S has proven itself on the drag strip repeatedly, rocketing off blistering quarter-mile times.
However, the Tesla Model S Plaid boasts 1,020 hp (760 kW), and that’s enough to beat the McLaren in a drag race. The Tesla crosses the line with a 9.42-second time at 145.57 miles per hour (234.27 kilometers per hour). The McLaren was right on its bumper, completing the quarter-mile in10.17 seconds at 139.5 mph (224.50 kph).
The Tesla has more breathing room against the Chevrolet Corvette C5. The Corvette doesn’t look stock, but it’s impossible to determine its specs. It’s much slower than the Tesla through the quarter-mile, completing the race in 12.04 seconds at 117.16 mph (188.55 kph). The Tesla did it in 9.37 seconds at 147.57 mph (237.49 kph).
