The cars produce their four-digit power outputs in completely different ways. One is quicker from a standstill, but that's not the whole story.
. You'd think that'd be an advantage, but it's unlikely to matter here, as the owner has put the street tires back on the EV. The better brakes won't help with straight-line acceleration, and the extra aero likely adds drag that'll slow it down.
The results are instructive. The EV unsurprisingly gets a better launch, both from a standstill and from a roll. There's no delay in delivering peak torque, and no downshifting to worry about from a roll. But gasoline and horsepower tend to pay off at high speeds, which is why the Bugatti ends up winning both races. Especially in the half-mile roll, you see the Bugatti struggle at first and then charge past the Tesla on its way to a 206-mph run. The Tesla runs out of steam in the low 180s.
Still, there's an argument that the Tesla put on a more impressive showing. While the Bugatti does pull off a victory in both races, it also costs millions more than the relatively attainable Plaid. Plus, it did it without producing any tailpipe emissions. EVs may not be quite as fast as the most potent internal combustion cars, but they're going to bring similar levels of speed to a much wider audience.
