Even With A Poor Start This Tesla Model S Annihilates An RS6, E63 S And M760LI
The line-up of cars you see above all have two things in common: they’re very heavy, and very powerful. The Mercedes and the Audi both tip the scales at around two tonnes, the Tesla is 2100kg, and finally the BMW is over 2200kg.
So they’re all fatties, but the Tesla has far more power and torque than its internal combustion rivals. You’re looking at 778bhp compared to around 600 apiece for the other three, and a monstrous 920lb ft of torque following the most recent update.
As such, even though the driver of the P100D in these Car Wow drag races appeared to be asleep at the start of the first stint, the car had no trouble overhauling the RS6, M760LI and the E63 S.
Honourable mention must go to the big BMW, though - it’s a much larger and heavier car than the others here, yet managed to beat the RS6 in the standing and rolling start races. Is BMW being a little conservative with the power figure for that twin-turbo V12…?

If it were any other car that won the race people on here would be like “WHoop Whoop! What a cool car!”. But because it’s an electric car everyone be like, “Yeah but it handles like a boat….Yeah but after 100mph it’s poop….Yeah but can’t go father than 50 miles - just watch topgear they told me so…..Yeah but EV’s are more harmful than petrol cars so….”. People swallowing the media machines catchphrases like it was their own. Just like the tobacco industry were like “Cigarettes don’t cause cancer. Cancer causes cancer.” Do your own research, go for a real test drive and gather some proper intel on these cars. Critical thinking shouldn’t be the exception.
wow once again one of the fastest accelerating cars in the world is faster than some other cars
Funny how a lot of people feel they have to explain how bad of a car the Tesla is and how they make excuses for the ice cars….it’s nothing less than impressiv what Tesla has achieved. They have only produced their own cars since 2012. The other have been making cars for almost a century. Think how this will look in the future when gen.3-4-5 of the model S is out. P500D and can probably fly….
