The brake test is highly inaccurate given that you count and then stop. Sound takes time to travel through the walkie talkie and be processed by the receiver, then they act on the countdown. It would be more accurate to use a physical barrier or even measure the feet it took to stop from when the brakes were applied. I can tell the other driver does not start braking until about 1 second later after the Tesla has started braking. You can also try with the other driver doing the countdown so it's not one sided.
JFC these guys like to hear themselves talk. Do yourself a favor and just skip to 3:45.
You definitely need the Plaid Track Pack.
wtf does Turbo mean on a Taycan? Does it blow the electrons faster??
Wait on the tri motor taycan turbo gt ;) when the taycan and the tesla both had dual motors.. the taycan too this day is the fastest dual motor EV created. So just imagine when porsche has the same motors as a tesla .. the taycan turbo gt already posted a 7:07 around nurumbring
damn...that m3 is jacked. AWD has transformed BWWs performance potential.
The new bmws can easily beat it with a 10k turbo upgrade. I've never seen a tesla plaid win ever in the street racing scenes.

@@rogerphelps9939well if you’re doing 165mph you’d probably get to your destination in 8 minutes
Do a "U-Drag" race - You race to the end of the runway, turn around, and race back towards the starting line.
Great way to test Acceleration, Speed, Braking, and Corner handling all in one race.
and crash-safety, when both hit at the u-turn 😂
M3 wins in that case. The Tesla is more of a muscle car than a sports car
The Wrigley Performance G80 is definitely one of the most consistent 1000+hp S58s I've seen on youtube. It's not constantly going into limp mode or misfiring like some other heavily modded M3s are
Yeah, No. I’d argue S58NYC and Mpowerhouse is way more consistent and way faster.
Tbh the s58 is very easy to tune and make it a daily driver. U never really see them misfire or go into limp mode.
what are the other consistent G80s? Any american companies?
@@TwistiieHD The most consistant S58s are all american companies lol, The fastest S58 right now is from Mpowerhouse which is based in NYC, 2nd is RkAutoWerks+stimikey from Dallas texas, Mlife from NY, fastest stock motor S58 is tuned by STIMikey who’s in the US. Those are all dialed in single turbo g80s, the fastest hybrid turbo G80 is from Autocraft who’s based in Long Island.
@@TwistiieHD EU tuning companies need upgraded hybrid turbos to run the same times as stock turbo G80s tuned by american shops, not even close.
11:14 In the brake test it was clear that the right lane had puddles of water and the left lane was dry. Why didn’t you switch lanes between each brake test? That absolutely would have made the difference.
Second test didn't have puddles. You have brake regen on the Tesla. The electric motors are using engine braking to recapture energy.
@@DroneStrike1776Basically every car's breaking is not limited by the power of the brakes but by the grip of the tyres (when doing a single hard stop). Bigger brakes make the difference in repeated breaking
In 2023 stock plaid not the track pack with red calipers have carbon pads to improve braking
Per car and driver the m3 and m4 brake better then the regular tesla model s plaid
Car and driver doesn’t get paid by Tesla, so I really don’t care what they say. The brake test doesn’t even matter to anybody, except the people that get out run by the Teslas. Do you ever go to the track and see how quick your car will stop?😅 put a tow hitch on that BMW like the model S has and let’s see who can pull the most weight in a quarter mile the fastest.
Rory, have someone do the countdown, please!
Electronic equipment for the countdown to do different with car wow
Yes!
No matter how hard you try, there's no getting around the fact that Rory can always anticipate the start better, because his brain knows when he's calling it.
As long as it’s not the bird voice in Carwow drag races, it’s fine to have someone else do the countdown.
The first race, Rory seemed distracted, the second, Rory seemed to anticipate. The third looked almost like they were giving each other the hit.
@@alstoundI read your comment in the carwow countdown birds voice.
That M3 looks so good. Perfect stance on it.

Stupid test one Cow cost 500,000 are the other car costs 120,000
@@darkstar223 they both cost the same price almost, its a M3 not a Ferrari lmao. The only dif is that the petroleum engine car can be doing this performance constantly whereas the electric car lose all its power after passing the 80% battery level.
Did you not watch this video? That’s clearly not an M3 that is clearly a custom car built on top of an M3 and read my question again.@@patatr4943
So the M3 with special racing fuel and special modifications just goes even with the Plaid. The Plaid without the track package held its own. Amazing Plaid.
Same HP what is the problem?
Cry harder the Tesla can’t get any faster and the bmw can still be modded much further and will be much faster 😂. Your Tesla can’t even run a circuit race would need a recharge after 1 lap

@@patatr4943 plaid has a tacl package.
The main thing is a price!
More likely you can buy 2 plaid in cost of this tuned BMW
HUH?!? Bro you can get a M3 xdrive for 85k (My spec is $99k) then he probably has $15k in upgrades to get 1000hp. Its fairly close in price.
they should do a lap round the track too, would be really interesting
Wouldn’t be close on the same tires. Plaid weighs 900 lbs more.
Why? That isn’t what the Tesla is built for is it?
@@DeanoEV135 neither car is built for the track. Unless you have the TRACK PACK plaid which is (it has special track tires in addition to the brakes).The m3 cs isn’t a track car either but closer (they don’t have track tires either) than the standard m3.
@@Bimmer_Bill thanks for proving my point. Given this isn’t a track pack car, it’s pointless as it won’t be any good as that was not what it was designed for.
Exactly, that would be the right thing to do. But we all know the outcome of that.
That Plaid obviously doesn’t have the track package which unlocks the top speed to over 200mph.. Yet still, hats of to that M3
Definitely a set up they hate tesla, all the other brands pay their wages.
That doesnt affect acceleration, try again.
@@Dale-11lol what ? No one hates on Tesla . It’s just their fan boys are casuals who are now some how car people
he said it didn’t have the track pack in the video.
Track package? How about the git behind the wheel giving the M3 a 1 second advantage off the line in the first run.
I was about to say once you said the Plaid did a 10.2 1/4 mile I knew something was wrong.
In a thousand races I have never seen a Plaid run that slow. Only answer is there is a serious error with the person racing the car or the timer.
@P10634 😂
@@P10634Most likely 20% state of charge. A 20% state of charge does a 9.9 1/4 mile still though. But with these conditions it would do a 10.1-10.2 or something.
Yes. It can do 9.2
Electroneum brotha. I helped start tht company
That M3 is outrageous what a build
Wouldn't have been close if it didn't have ethanol and other special fuel though...lol
@@MikeMPharmaCyclist u can definitely get 1000hp very easily with the s58 engine, but it’s even easier running ethanol because you run less boost on it. Very reliable too even at 1000hp stock engine they are very strong and make power so easily like the 2jz, electric can’t compete with new beamers they’re too fast
@@MikeMPharmaCyclist although this is true ethanol is cheaper than regular gas. It is a special fuel but for 93 being 3-5 a gallon uou can get ethanol for 1.30-2.5
The plaid was faster than other cars because it has 1000 hp, but now with this BMW that has the same power things are different 😂
The Plaid has beaten other 1000+ hp petrol cars relatively easily due to the instant and flat torque curve of the EV motors as well as no need to shift along with superior traction control offered by electric motors. So the fact that hat this 1000 hp M3 did this well is hugely impressive.
This m3 has more than specified powe
The guy went off to get race fuel…. 😂
Keep in mind the weight, and although its very benificial that ev's don't need gears, they do allow for more low end torque and higher top speed, with the downside of having to shift and work into the powerband.
But the main pro is that the tesla is able to do that stock, while the M3 needs special fuel and huge mods which will compromise its reliability.
M3 was very impressive but still i wouldn't buy a gas car for the speed, but for the engaging driving experience. Ev's are also egaging but while gas is engaging with the car, ev's are engaging with the road.
Cause the BMW is way lighter
Awesome vid. But i think its not fair to use a tesla with a non track package when the m3 gets to be modified and uses a different fuel.
Completely agree.
Yap thought the same
They raced this car against a completely stock, untuned 1000cc motorcycle. Yeah... a heavily modified car beating a motorcycle from a stand still isn't surprising.
I disagree u talking about 1000hp Tesla plaid that have way more advantage than any gas car out there .. no traction issue it’s electric just press and go
1000hp against 1000hp, so what`s your problem???
Very fast for an M3 to do 9.7 quarter mile times on a greasy track , I reckon both cars will do 9.4 quarter times if the track was a proper drag circuit
The guy said he got a 9.3 at 145 mph testing the M3 once
@@NICKCAMP04 Amazing as the Bugatti Chiron with 1600bhp can only do a 9.5 quarter mile time at best

Spend $20.000 on the Model S Plaid track pack and you have a 200 mph car with (finally) really good brakes and a 150,000 mile battery and powertrain warranty. This car traps at 180 mph in the half mile. This BMW would lose in the half and quarter.
remove the limiter on the m3 and it'll go beyond 200 mph what type of logic is that. The comp package goes 187 might as well remove it if you're gonna spend 20k

You should have changed the lanes in brake test. The other lane was clearly more damp.
Yeah, too obvious... how could they not realize this...
The teslas limiter needs to be taken out of the equation because the BMW wasn't getting past until it hit it on the drag
When doing your tests with the model s plaid try and do it with the track package from here on out👍 this way you can get some good 1/4 and even 1/2 mile runs in with other cars
Very cool race. But again, real world, plaid wins. Especially when the top speed limiter is removed

Need to race vs the track pack plaid.
Or at least turn off the governor before hitting top speeds. With the governor off, the plaid runs 216mph.

Who cares M3 is better. Sounds phenomenal(actually has sound anyways) and it handles better and dosent have an inferior interior to a Toyota corolla
@@D1man1525 yeah we don’t care. Some of us prefer the Tesla.
This is theater not a drag race
The real question is after 3 years how is the performance of BMW. After 5 years is the car still running? I know Tesla battery has 8 warranty
Damn, those cars are so evenly matched. Almost equal HP, 0-60, quarter mile.
The M3 needs “special sauce” and I don’t know, with so many moving tuned parts, if it holds many powerful starts before breaking something. For a Tesla, that is kind of normal, for a modified car like the M3…luck is kind of important.
@ricarmig The Tesla requires 19 minutes just to load up. Plus, there are hundreds of thousands of parts in it, which means the M3 will hold more powerful starts for longer. Plus, it will be faster as well. The Tesla could not even run a 9.7 initially while the M3 could. It is consistent.
They are not. This BMW stands no chance. It has similar power. But LOOK AT THE WEIGHT DIFFERENCE. Put an electric drive train on a lightweight platform. And it's over. Not even a contest.
Besides the model s being a full size car 🤷♂️ 😆
m3 needs launch control, reinforced 8hp and other components, a lot of electronics to launch..@@ricarmig
who has a plaid but doesn't get the track pack? it's practically free after all the price cuts.
The people who don’t want to race the car every single day. Maybe you don’t realize but getting the track pack also reduces the range a little
@@NICKCAMP04 Is the range really important when someone is getting a plaid? I'm genuinely curious as of what the tesla buyers would say.
Everyone that got the Plaid before the discounts...
@@jkliao6486 In my town there is absolutely no one that races their plaid and most of them I’ve seen doesn’t even know what cheetah mode is. Only people that wouldn’t care about range are car enthusiasts and not Norma people
I own a Model S Plaid and if it's right situation I will take a race against all exotics including Hellcats,but they are few who will know what it is and refuse to race me.....That always cracks mevup.
Glad you do 1/2 mile tests which takes some of the launch reaction time out of the equation. The brake test should be a fixed point and not by voice. 10:29
Plaid without the track pack begins to limit power around 150mph, everything after the quarter mile in the plaid is governor limited
Theres something not right about that M3 braking, it wasn’t dipping its nose at all
@@P10634 I had thought this one had the "unlimited" track pack. Okay.
For real.. by voice for launch and stop. There's obviously an advantage.
S58 just keeps getting better and better
In my experience, there is always a reason a car doesn't come from the factory as powerful as you can mod it. They always break. I had a Ford F 150 5.o Supercharged and the engine broke TWICE in 26,000 miles. I had a Jaguar tuned and it broke. Just not worth it. Rather have the stock Tesla at 1020 HP.
who tuned it? my mustang made 980 whp for 12k miles before building it. when the engine came out it was still healthy. you either had shit tune or didn't perform maintenance like you should have.
@@gtellez1990 I did maintenance, oil change every 3000 miles for example.
@@Cruor34 who tuned it?
I hope everybody understands what Tom's done to that M3, the tuning is amazing to beat a Tesla like that🙌

@@Dale-11 Not yet but I'm going to. But generally you want to go up to about 80% so you don't damage the battery which will still be plenty for driving around having fun which is the only reason I want it not to save the environment or any of that garbage. But my point still stands It will still be at exactly what charge I want it to be at when I wake up and that's pretty cool.

@@ronj7658 it only takes 20 minutes charge from 20-80%. No one charges to 100% unless road tripping.
Speed Limiter on the Tesla is the limiting element
I roll raced a plaid last year and they run well. Definitely a stout package but I prefer the sound and feel of any combustion engine.
Looking forward to the days of hybrid turbochargers.
@Anotherboost -
I had a Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid. It was super fast and fun. Never needed to “plug-in” charge, the battery stayed recharged when you ran the engine. It’s simple and convenient, and I don’t understand why hybrids don’t receive the majority of the EV hype, rather than straight battery EV cars ?? It just doesn’t make sense. BTW - I’m a hard-core petrol head. Traded in the Cayenne TEH for a “fire breathing” Cayenne Turbo GT (which holds it’s own against the Tesla Plaid w/ track package).
20 years ago you needed Bugatti money to experience hypercar performance. Now you can have that experience with £100k. Taking inflation into account, that is ridiculously good value.
Bullshit!!! The tesla is just a one pony trick 0-60! Very few people actually experiences the speeds of buggati which are well over 400kmh which no EV can even reach whatsoever! Let alone the super old ninja Kawasaki h2r which is not road legal for example.

The M3 weighs approximately 3,800lbs. The Plaid weighs approximately 4,800lbs. Literally a 1,000lb difference. Of course if they have similar horsepower, the advantage goes to the lighter car - especially at the higher speeds. The problem with most people that look at races is that they think horsepower is everything. Obviously it is a very important factor. However, weight, aerodynamics, weather, traction etc. all play a role.
Only after 3 minutes of watching i somehow realized that its not a CarWow 😂 with Mat Watson
10:44. Look where the M3 is and the puddle of water 10 meters from where his car stopped and the Tesla on a dry lane.. they should redo the test
You must race Lucid Air Sapphire against this Tesla!!
Loving this content. You guys should definitely do more like this
The guy launching the plaid is not getting the accurate lauch because he is counting and holdin a mic with one hand
Here is the thing though: The ICE Engine is completely maxxed out, but there is nothing that would prevent Tesla from just adding another motor or two.
Lmfao S58, the Bmws engine is just getting started. Nowhere near its full potential.
If you look at the Sapphire it has 3 motors that are each rated at around 650hp, but max power is 1234 HP. The limiting factor is the battery, but what it means is that it can send that 1234 hp to the motors in different amounts depending on where the traction is. To go fast you need big batteries with lots of cells.
That M3 is defo better sorted than the evolve one from yesterday's race on another channel 😂
Haha true! Although I prefer the color of the Evolve car!
cant find any reference on price, how much does the bmw cost compared to the tesla in this video?
a standard m3 comp already costs more then a plaid and then the bmw only has 510hp for 113k euro
@@stef7396 no it doesnt goofball, g80 m3 comp msrp $75k and Tesla Model S Plaid msrp $89k
@@JordanTheodoreYT Competition xDrive form at £85,165, while the new CS 2023 has also been priced at a rather startling £118,820.
The BMW M3 is a true thoroughbred racer.
You should have used Track Mode on the Plaid for the 1/2 mile, and while the performance is barely reduced in the low-curve, the top speed is raised to ~174 mph.
Crazy to think that gasoline cars needs all the mods, tuning and adjustments to beat an EV that just runs on battery. I’ll still take a high performance ICE any day but I wouldn’t mind an EV for a commute around town.
Good comparison. Fair play to you both ❤
Can you do a drag race between a fully tuned m3 and a Rimac Nevera
That's not even a race m8 that m3 getting dropped XD
@@Matt.e_Black ya a almost 2000hp hyper car is no joke it can beat a cherion super sport m8 and i know it can go 300mph but thats only 50more mph than the rimac but i think they can update that with software to add 50 mph to it XD
I'm not sure lens technology has developed to the point where you'd get the two cars in the same shot after the first couple of seconds.

For a long time, Teslas only had a unique selling point when it came to acceleration, but other manufacturers can now do that too, with a much better overall package (processing, operation, individualization, performance and not just when driving straight ahead, sustainability, better working conditions in the factories, etc.)
1-What is the price of the heavily modded M3?
2- Does it have a warranty from this aftermarket performance company or does it now not have a warranty?
A plaid can be purchased for $90k US and is bone stock.
average tesla fanboy excuses:
Just simple straight forward relevant questions.
Answers:
1- way more than a Plaid
2-No, Yes
I just loooove the Plaid. BMW isn’t bad either
Electric cars are like dancing with no music😢
Boring as hell…
So, a massively modified M3 Competition vs. a standard Model S Plaid WITHOUT track pack aka the Tesla maxed out at 165 instead of 200 mph.
I'm calling BS.
On the other hand though... an M3 Competition isn't cheap, a massively tuned one even more expensive.
Lastly... the standard Plaid doesn't have the "good" brakes but still stopped sooner than the M3 - which means the brakes on this M3 are, compared to its power, utter rubbish.
Add in the fact that the M3 needs high powered fuel to even get that performance and we have a clear win for the Tesla.
Again.
💯
Tuning by Evolve is 8k to get 1000hp on normal fuel, ICE S58 engine against high spec EV.....The next M3 comes in both forms ICE and EV....Standard M3 EV version with over 1000hp...
@@nhlanhlamagagula7467 I´m curious to see that EV version. Should be interesting.
How do you trap 165 in the quarter and 10.2? These races are a lie.
Both cars are something else, but one car has had to be jacked to high heaven and filled with fuel you can’t even buy where the other is straight out the box
I’d like to see a Plaid S with a track package.
Damn that M3 is public danger considering the Model S without the track package has absolute thrash brakes.
The M3 is a tuned vehicle not OEM! So the manufacturer/bmw will need to upgrade/ tune it for 1000hp lol!!! It's not the same thing
You can easily upgrade the brakes on a non track package Plaid.
This Plaid already has refreshed brakes (red calipers)
So the beemer needs race fuel… does that mean the Tesla can have race electrons? 👀 Plus the Tesla has regen braking
And the BMW was running low on fuel as well.
It sounded like he said it was running on corn. In the states you can get that at normal gas stations
@@ElyciusM ethanol?
Tesla needs 19 minutes to heat up batteries before it can do sub 10 quarter miles.
@@richardlabeja yes, fair enough. Just as impractical als always having ethanol in your daily.
The Tesla didn't have the track package, so it could have gone much faster and braked better!
Not true. The regular tesla model s plaid posted a 7:35 .. the taycan turbo s posted a 7:33 .. porsche beat the plaid when both used street tires . tesla "Track pack" cheated it had to use track tire semi slicks (GoodYear Eagle F1 SuperCar 3Rs) that are only used for track times not for street use to beat the porsche taycan,panamera turbo s, m5cs,m3cs, and some other 4 door sedans that all used STREET TIRES. The tesla plaid has 1,000hp and the other cars i named have 400hp less then the plaid. Yet when they all used street tires those cars beat it. The semi slicks on the track pack plaid alone shaves off 10-15 sec. The track pack then posted a 7:25
Think how embarrassing that is that a car with 1000hp couldn't beat a 400hp less taycan. BMW/Porsche design and handling is on another planet. The track pack plaid doesn't use road legal tires.
@@G82Watts Geez man, those tires on track pack Plaid are road legal outside of Europe so there's absolutely no cheating and considering that Tesla did this result by software, brakes and tires its completely insane. By sticking in an actual performance suspension and increasing the cooling capacity to sacrifice front trunk which they can easily do (also increasing price to 200k because why not, people actually buy those toyish Porsches), it would completely wipe the floor with anything else in the same class on the Ring for the next 5 years AND with 150k mile warranty. Competition was out when the Ludicrous model S came out
@@lukabosnjak3829 those tires are illegal for road use in Germany and many other countries. No production car comes with the tires, ever. Tesla only got away with it because they made a "Track pack" only version. " RacingForALS goodyear eagle f1 supercar 3r review" go watch that and he explicitly says they increase track times and are only used for that because the ride on the streets is extremely terrible. If u gave those some tires to the other sedans that beat the regular model s plaid they would post 10 sec better times aswell. Even the m3 TOURING beat the regular model s plaid around the track. It's all good bro keep crying and defending ur boring one trick poney car that turns no heads and isn't special to see or be inside. Dull and plain jane. Also "YOUCAR" posted a vid of the new taycan with porsche first ever tri motor doing a 7:07 around nurumbring and it hit a higher speed then the tesla track pack. That's 2 seconds slower then the 1800hp rimac nevera..porsche always does more with less. That's why tesla had to add an entire other motor just to be faster in a straight line then the dual motor taycan. Too this day porsche created the fastest dual motor ev ever so just imagine what happens when they even the playing field. Also porsche cost more becuase they don't look like old man blob cars and actually have LUXURY.
@@lukabosnjak3829 Teslas are a poor mans quick car. It speaks volumes about the experience and driving engagement a real sports car brings u that an EV can NEVER. Ive been inside a tesla and is just doesnt feel like ur in something special. Its so dull and plain jane. It has no luxury. My buddy lets me drive his targa gts porsche time to time and oh my god, bro. The engine. The revs the downshifts. All the people checking out the car. Its insane. The noise alone is what makes me want to drive it over and over again. Best way to describe it is. Speeding in a tesla is like having sex with earplugs in. Only ur body feels it.( Except for the terrible wind noise in the cabin from poor sound isolation.) Real sports cars hit and fill ur entire senses. The rumbling of the engine the visceral special occasion it feels like everytime ur in it. Cant be matched. Theres a reason no youtuber that's loaded gets a tesla .. no rappers no athletes .. hell even type in "only fans girls car" girls w $ don't even like tesla. It's just for average Joe's to finally feel like hot shit on the road.
@@lukabosnjak3829 those tires are illegal in Germany and many other countries for road use. No production car comes with those tires becuase they are ass for the road and are specifically for better lap times. "RacingForALS goodyear eagle f1 supercar 3r review" he explains that they are terrible for road use and are only used for better lap times. If u put those tires on the other sedan 4doors that beat the model s plaid when they both had the same tires they too would beat the track pack version. Also porsche created a faster dual motor EV then tesla ever has too this day. They had to add an entire extra motor just to beat the taycan in a straight line and still lose to around the track 😂 its hilarious how much u defend tesla ur a elon sheep 😂 I'd hate to drive a blob tesla turning no heads. If ur tesla was so good why are u always commenting on every channel defending it?
If the guy actually knew how to prep & operate the Plaid at peak performance…no competition (pun intended).
That ‘tuned’ M3 is special though 👍
M3 absolutely smashed it. From any type of roll that tesla stood no chance. Had nothing to do with track pack or no track pack from beginning to end it was leaps and bounds ahead. Crazy on a wet surface too
Big ups to the BMW tuners they did a great job in doing it and thanks to BMW for making a great car like this M3,their engines are a masters piece. Great drag race thanks to Rory and the M3 driver.
Fantastic match but how much do you need to spend in order to achieve that in M3

Geez that Bimmer is wicked... on a road course it would absolutely wipe the floor with the Plaid. What's the cost of the upgrade?
Why would it be faster in a road course? Is this BMW usable as a daily? And if so, racing fuel every day? No man. This is a tuned car that is on the brink of breaking down vs a family sedan that is stock and will require zero maintenance on drivetrain for the upcoming 300.000 km.
Or did you mean on the "track"? Because if so, yes you are right.
The plaid probably weighs twice as much and will lose miserably in a track race. There’s a reason why you don’t see EV’s racing on a track against traditional engined beasts.
@@Maarten_vd Breaking down? The B58/S58 might be the best engine platform there is atm. Sub 9sec are done by many M3/4:s. I drive an EV (Taycan) but would definitely trust the M3 more than the Tesla to not break down.
"Probably twice as much" man why dont you feel ashamed to show your ignorance@@FlyingAceAV8B?
@@peterhammer4644 and thats not true. If you watch Tesla Plaid Racing Channel you will see the Plaid doing dozens of runs on one evening when other petrol cars need to cool down or even break down. Plaid is far more reliable and resilient.
When Tom said to 60 in 2 seconds my jaw literally dropped 😮
The second race was actually the real race.
So what was the battery level of the Plaid during the races?
Much better than the fuel level of bmws
@@The_muslim_maurauderThe BMW is faster on lower fuel. Obviously not fair. The plaid doing a 10.2!? Absurd. That's like 20% state of charge performance! A 20% state of charge plaid does 9.9 on the street though! Maybe 10%!?!?
Geeeez man that M3 is seriously rapid, i've never seen any car go toe to toe with a Tesla Model X Plaid like that 🧎♂🙌💪.
Someone at work said “wait 19 minutes for full power, that’s rubbish - bloody electric cars!” I had to correct him that the difference between peak and non peak is like warp 6 vs warp 6.5. Either way your getting there faster than pretty much anyone else
In Track Mode the Plaid is limited to 175mph instead of Drag Mode 165mph which he used here. Don't know why, think Drag Mode is for 1/4 Mile races.... So the Plaid would have taken the 1/2 Mile and on the Rolling Race the M3 was accelerating before the Plaid, guess the guy tried to time the gas and actually pushed even farther before the Pedal because normally from a rolling no ice engine can react as fast as a Plaid and also beat the constant Powerband, just can't. But they could have switched lanes, because espacially on the Brake Test, the Lane of the Bmw looked more wet. So all in all seems pretty much a draw by me.
How is this a fair race. A individually adapted supped up BMW (with super fuel you cant buy on the street) against an off the shelf Tesla. Come back with a standard BMW M3 Comp and race them again. Good video though.
