We all know that electric cars are quite fast. The Tesla Model S, which can transfer the power from the engine directly to the wheels, was compared to the racing legend Chevrolet Corvette. The result may be upsetting for Chevrolet fans.
Tesla Model S vs Chevrolet Corvette drag race
A video posted on X (Twitter) shows the Tesla Model S beating the Chevrolet Corvette in a drag race. According to the footage, the Model S crossed the finish line in 9.36 seconds, while the Corvette crossed in 10.6 seconds.
The 0-100 km/h times for both cars are around 1.99 seconds for the Model S and 2.9 seconds for the Corvette. This shows that the Model S actually wins on paper. But the video showed the acceleration power of electric cars.
Tesla is offering car owners who get their friends to buy a new Tesla the right to participate in a free Model 3 Performace raffle.
The Corvette has been a popular model in the sports car world for years. However, it should be noted that the Model S is also more expensive. The US Chevrolet Corvette starts at $66,000, while the Model S starts at $74,000.
In addition to being fast in 0-100 km/h, electric cars meet carbon neutrality targets with zero emissions. Research suggests that switching to more electric vehicles could greatly help improve air quality.
On the other hand, the Tesla Model S Plaid recently broke the speed record. According to the factory data, the last speed the vehicle can reach is 322 kilometers. In a test video, it reaches 318 kilometers.
