Tesla Model S Plaid Annihilates A Model Y Performance On The Drag Strip

Written by admin

Before it was launched, Tesla made some very bold claims about the Model S Plaid. Since it came out, there’s been no shortage of proof that it is insanely quick.

That’s not a new feeling for Tesla, though, as its EVs have already made a name for themselves when it comes to their performance. To demonstrate the Model S Plaid’s pace, Edmunds took it onto the track with another Tesla that has no shortage of evidence supporting its claim to being extremely quick.

Although it looks like a practical, almost dull, crossover, the Model Y Performance is, in fact, very fast. In Edmund’s testing, it has beaten the likes of the Ford Shelby Mustang GT500, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, the Porsche Taycan, and more.

So what does it fare against the Model S Plaid? To put it mildly, not very well. With quarter-mile times in the nines, the sedan is about two seconds faster down the quarter-mile than its stablemate. And two seconds feels like a very long time through the quarter-mile.

Even while cheating, the Model Y Performance is easily beaten by the Model S Plaid, which powers past the crossover with ease. The difference is such that with a two-second headstart, the Model S can zoom past the Model Y before the finish line.

“I think that we should’ve given you maybe another second there,” video host Carlos Lago tells the driver in the Model Y Performance. “I passed you like you were standing still.”

Want To Turn Your Tesla Model 3 Into A Quasi Off-Roader?

Written by admin

A German company named Delta 4×4 that’s located just outside Munich, Germany has made a Tesla Model 3 unlike any other.

Recently, the tuning company received a request from a Model 3 owner in Norway asking for some off-roading abilities to be added to the electric sedan.

To make this happen, Delta 4×4 fitted a 35 mm lift kit costing €480 ($548) and then slotted on a set of custom wheels that measure 18×8.5 at all four corners. The black wheels may look familiar as they are the same style of wheels that the famous Tesla Model 3 pickup, better known as ‘Truckla’, that was created by Simone Giertz, was fitted with last year.

These wheels have then been wrapped in mud-terrain tires from Cooper that thanks to a taller sidewall, result in the Model 3 having 40 mm of additional ground clearance.

Looking through Delta 4×4’s social media accounts, it looks as though it has fitted a small handful of Model 3s with its lift kit and wheel and tire package.

While the entry-level Tesla sedan is no Toyota Land Cruiser or Suzuki Jimny when it comes to tackling difficult terrain, the fact that most are all-wheel drive certainly helps it with its off-road credentials. In the video below, the car can be seen making it up a slippery hill with very little fuss.
