Tesla's Model S P85D is quick. Or is it fast?
Can it be both? Ever since Elon
Musk unveiled the company's speediest car ever,
it's become the fashionable thing to take the P85D to a drag strip and pit it
against some old-school gas-powered muscle. Motor Trend did
the same, choosing the all-American Dodge Charger
Hellcat (the world's fastest sedan) as the Model S' opponent.
Now, it's not the
first time that these cars have gone head-to-head over a quarter mile, but when
they first met, the 707-horsepower Hellcat had such a dismal run that it needed an official rematch with a better driver
behind the wheel.
There's a handy explanation on the difference between being
fast and being quick at the beginning of the video, but if you just want the
action, simply hit the play button below. As for the outcome... well, that'd be spoiling it, but let's just say
that things could have been different if the strip was longer.
