Every Tesla DRAG RACE

Thanks to everyone who lent us their vehicles:
– Design S:
– Design X:
: @RSEV

Now this is what you call a S3XY drag race line-up!

We have actually got every Tesla you can purchase (and actually drive!) going head-to-head over the 1/4-mile to see simply how various their efficiency is. So let's take a look at the contenders.

Starting with the Tesla , it's powered by 3 electric motors, and they combine to deliver 1,020 hp and 1,420 Nm of torque. It ideas the scales at 2,190 kg, and if you're seeking to purchase one it'll cost you around ₤ 116,000.

The Design X Plaid is built on the same platform, so it provides the specific very same power – 1,020 hp and 1,420 Nm. Nevertheless, it's heavier than the Design S, at 2,464 kg, and it's also ₤ 10,000 more costly, at around ₤ 126,000.

Then we have the & Design Y Performance. Similar to the S & X, they're constructed on the same platform, so they both show up with two electric motors to deliver 527hp and 660Nm. However, while the weighs 1,844 kg, the Model Y is available in at 1,997 kg. The price is pretty similar, mind, at around ₤ 58,000 and ₤ 60,000 respectively.

So will it be a tidy sweep for the Model S? And will the Design 3 beat the Model Y? There's just one method to discover … LET'S RACE!

    Imagine if the roadster had a production car I would love to see that in this drag race

      With the SpaceX thruster package, it would destroy every car in the world, except dragsters maybe

      @K2chances tesla delivers the car itself in the next half decade seem low
      Chances of the thrusters being an available add on are even lower

      493 extra hp and 760 extra Nm will do that.

      ​@Franz HuberDoesn’t matter with Plaids, cars with better power to weight do not have a chance (sf90 for example) because of insane engineering to provide flat 1000hp all the way to 200 mph

    I remember watching a s3XY drag race with the old Model S & X P100D. Although the model S & X were quicker, it was still pretty close. In this race, the model S & X plaid left the model 3 & Y in the dust like they were standing still.

      @Landscapes ~ Rob Dickinson It’s absolutely unmatched by an other production car! The fact that they are using the same plaid powertrain in the Tesla semi truck is awesome!

    3:24 I find it absolutely hilarious how a 2.5 tonne SUV blasted by the model 3 performance like it was standing still. The model 3 performance is no joke, it’s still impressively fast! It’s absolutely astonishing what the model S & X plaid can do!

      I love the acceleration in my model 3 performance. The thought of something pulling away from me that quickly is mind boggling.

      @NotPoodleI’ve owned them all (well, I only Turk’s the XPlaid before deciding to get the S Plaid). I so thought my ‘20 Model 3 Performance was closer to my current plaid off the line. It absolutely feels as quick, but my Plaid is 100% ridiculous. I’m actually thinking of going back to the 3 after this one, as I want to get a 3P and maybe a Miata or Mustang for the track.
      My ‘22 MYP felt considerably slower than the 3 and was nowhere near as fun to drive.
      Actually, my plaid isn’t as fun to drive either, although it’s better now that I have the wheel instead of the yoke.

      @Nice personIt’s my dream to catch a tuned Trackhawk on an interstate on ramp. Nothing, absolutely nothing, comes close to my Plaid.
      Except… very fast sport bikes. But even most of them bow down up to 160. Some of these internet Trackhawks look like they pull as hard though.

    I have a Model 3 Performance and it is by far the fastest car I have ever owned – the way it was made to look slow by the Model S Plaid is crazy!!

      Agreed only have an LR model 3 4wd with boost package and i feel that car is faaaast and it is more like the y in that race

      The 3P is only fast up to about 50mph or so and then the power seriously tails off when compared to ICE cars. You’ll be beaten quite easily by most decent Audis, BMWs and Mercs at those speeds and above. This power drop doesn’t happen on the S and X Plaids – they continue with brutal power all the way up into the top speeds. The S is still much quicker to 50 than the 3P but it really is above 50 where it massively pulls away and leaves it behind.

      I raced a guy with my 2018 SL63 and i won against a model 3 perf…….. but he was keeping up extremely well to about 60 mph, actually ahead of me for a car length… then it was game over, but pretty sad really when you consider what I paid for my car lol.. However, I didnt buy the SL for efficiency.. never driven a plaid, I expect it would be nuts !

      ​@andyuk20102022 Model 3 Performance owner here. It’s actually quick up to 90 mph, then trails off.

      So yes, given enough distance other performance cars will pass it. But most people are not in locations where long distance high speed driving is possible, so insane acceleration is more important in beating people.

    It’s like they had an 80mph head start in the roll

    My Model 3 feels so breathtakingly fast, but seeing the Plaid just rocket off like the 3 is at a standstill is surreal! I hope I can get a Plaid one day, or at least test drive one!
    Great comparison!
