It's all b.s. A Porsche 911 Turbo S that ran a best of 9.47 at 147 mph at our track last summer.

But the obvious needs said. Physics law of traction is about surface area. Double the surface area with 4 wheel motor power, a 2nd grader can calculate the outcome. Why is this not pointed out each and every rigged run?
I’ve owned a few 911s and my brother owns 3 right now. A cyber truck beast is 850hp and will smoke a 911 in the 1/4 mile. I’ve driven these Tesla cyber trucks beasts (top model ) which is comparable to a diesel which is the Chevy top model and they will destroy a duramax diesel stock to stock .

You couldn’t give me a new GM car. Especially after what they did to Pontiac but just car to car and truck to truck. Tesla is more American made and better all the way around

A Tesla plaid is today’s SD421 Catalina and tempest in the model X and Model S. No one here can drive one and see it away other way. They destroyed all competition. Litterally changed the game and GM Ford, dodge have been trying to play catch up since. I only wish they had. Pontiac badge on them.

Those posting negative on these cars have likely never driven one and darn sure haven’t owned one.

I would still rather have a Duramax when I am towing my travel trailer as I don't want to stop every 100 miles to charge the battery and then unhook to get to a charger. Still not very convenient. I am not ready to pay a premium to drive an electric vehicle. I love my Suburban and the Tesla can't do all it can do. We are all happy you love your Tesla, but we don't have to. I still don't like the looks of a Tesla and making it fast still doesn't help.

I don't mind Tesla or battery cars .
A lot of the dislike stemmed from when we were being told - this is the way you will have to go now.
And other points that will get political if mentioned.

We have 2 public charging points in my town.
In the past 3 years I have seen 1 car at one charger , though I don't monitor them daily.

The battery dirt bikes are Wild.
