Tesla takedown?
We’ve seen the Tesla Model 3 race all sorts of cars. From Ford Mustangs to Chevy Camaros and even a Porsche GT2 RS. Typically, the Model 3 Performance variant beats most of the competition. That’s largely due to its all-wheel-drive setup and the instant torque provided by the electric motors.
This is not unique to just the Model 3 though. The Tesla Model S and X both dominate at the strip too, as would some other AWD electric cars like the Jaguar I-Pace and Audi E-Tron, provided the competitive field was a bit more tame than what these Teslas often face.
Watch the Tesla racing action in the video above to see the winners (note the terrible Tesla launch in race #2) and check out the specs for all three of the cars below.
