Everyone’s impressed about the Tesla meanwhile what’s impressing to me is that the hellcat very heavy combustion engine managed to achieve an amazing launch and time. The Tesla is fast but it’s electric and electric is instant power. All that power at once is impressive but considering the Tesla is New school and the hellcat is older mechanics it still held up very good. Now they need to make strictly electric classes with all the new electric cars and performance variants coming out. It’s only gonna get faster and faster 😱

@@KelleysGarageOfficial I would never buy a tesla although as a car guy I'm very interested in any innovation made within the market. That being said there's plenty of videos with plaids making low 9s. Also, I find it funny that the Mopar needed nitrous to have less than a second lead and only 3mph speed difference. Probably because Mopar produces those all bark and no bite type muscle cars that lose 30% of their power at the crank. Seems like the tesla fanboys are pointing out discrepancies in the race while you can't imagine the godly image of Mopar be tarnished by an electric vehicle even though they pretty much crap cars anyway. I do like their trucks though so I'll give them that.

@@KelleysGarageOfficial Not to say "no dodge would never win against a Plaid" but even at 20% battery the Tesla still runs in the 9,9sec, tested by Dragtimes on the street, so while conditions will interfere with performance, there is no way it would slow down it to 9,9 above 90% charge, the launch was very slow as well, it seems more likely that the guy in the Plaid was trying to arm launch control and failed, then had to go with a bad reaction time and no launch, we all know that happens, that dodge would jump ahead for sure, but that ET, no, if that plaid crossed the finish line at 9,4 or 9,6 it would be more plausible to assume the conditions where the losing factor, another thing that makes me doubt this was the conditions, is that no video has a Tesla going above 9,5 with even 80% battery when the driver is going full power, in fact there are videos where the car still does 9,9 and bellow even after braking mid quarter mile, a loss is a loss of course, just knowing what happened this race would be nice.
