Now's your chance to work out how three of the highest-end performance EVs fare during a straight-line brawl. DragTimes has followed its previous Lucid-versus-Tesla match (among others) with a three-way drag race between the Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Dream Edition and Porsche Taycan Turbo S. As you'll be able to see within the video below, horsepower only matters to a degree — and also the outcome doesn't tell the entire story about any of those cars.
It might not surprise you to listen to the Model S Plaid emerged triumphant. Tesla's premium sedan comfortably won all three races, pulling solidly previous the Lucid Air and even further prior to the Taycan. The 1,111HP Air has the foremost horsepower of the bunch, but its heavier body (about 5,200lbs versus the Plaid's 4,828lbs) requires more effort to maneuver. The Taycan didn't stand an opportunity — its 750HP output and roughly 5,300-pound weight were sure to put it behind the pack.
Power-to-weight ratios weren't everything, however. The Air's performance is also more impressive than it's, because it doesn't have a launch mode. And, as many another enthusiast will means, a retardant race is not the sole benchmark of a car's performance. It's no secret the Taycan is one in all the better-handling EVs in its class, and it would be your pick if you're more likely to drive a twisty mountain road than a quarter-mile. this is often just a reminder that nobody upscale electric sedan can do everything well.
