For the people saying "Oh 2 million dollars only gets you half a second" ... no, it gets you extra 60 mph up top, it gets you far better handling and a far quicker and more fun to drive car on track or twisty roads, it gets you the stiffest body of any car ever produced with the largest carbon fiber monococque ever produced (including LMP1 race cars), etc. People need to stop acting like the only thing determining the cost of a car is 0-60 or 1/4 time. That's literally the only aspect in which the Model S can even get close to the Rimac in terms of performance, build quality, materials used, safety, design, etc. Even the 1/4 time is close only because half the race is done on low speeds when both cars are grip limited. The Rimac will smoke all 4 tires up to over 100 km/h if they actually just unleash 100% of torque from standstill. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Model S will do the same. Whether you have 1000hp or 2000hp is irrelevant before at least 70-80 mph, unless you're running drag slicks. Try doing a 100-200 mph acceleration comparison, or a 1/2 mile race, or a rolling start race from 60 mph, and then you'll see the difference between them is far bigger than half a second. That's why there's a difference between sedans and hypercars, no matter how fast a sedan is. This is kinda like saying "Oh buying a La Ferrari for 1 million only gets you half a second over a Dodge Charger Hellcat for 100k". No, it gets you so much more than a 1/4 time says. It's kinda sad that so many of you that follow car channels (and are apparently interested in cars) have such a limited understanding and appreciation of cars.

The plaid can beat the rimac off the line. The only reason the rimac is faster is because it uses transmissions while tesla does not.
