The Tesla leaves the line like a shot, quickly putting distance between itself and the Mustang. The Shelby is no slouch, but it’s no match for the electric power of the Model 3. The Tesla crosses the finish line in a blistering 11.67 seconds, leaving the GT500 in its dust.
Overall, the video serves as a reminder of just how quick Teslas can be in a straight line. While the electric cars may be facing some challenges in the sales and profit department, there’s no denying their performance capabilities. With instant torque and all-wheel drive, Teslas are a force to be reckoned with on the drag strip.
So while the news may not be all sunshine and rainbows for Tesla at the moment, videos like this one remind us of the excitement and thrill that these electric cars can provide. And who knows, maybe a few more drag races like this can help turn the tide for Tesla in the future. After all, speed is something that never goes out of style.
