Electric vs. Hemi Twin Screw - Tesla Model X P100D Ludicrous vs. Jeep Trackhawk on the strip

[Sticky]

There is only one aspect that gets Teslas mentioned on performance websites and that is drag racing. Yes, a mountain of instant electric torque makes them very quick off the line. That is illustrated with this Tesla Model X P100D.

The Jeep Trackhawk obviously is a completely different beast. It is an SUV and all wheel drive but the similarities end there. It makes 707 horsepower from a 6.2 liter V8 with a 2.4 liter twin screw blower. They get the weight wrong in the video, the Trackhawk comes in at ~5200 pounds.

The Tesla Model X is rated at 798 horsepower and the torque figure is grossly underrated. Considering it weighs ~5500 pounds (they get the Tesla's weight wrong in the video as well) it needs as much torque as it can get.

So, how does the drag race play out?

They run the Tesla individually first and the Tesla Model X puts down an impressive 11.281 @ 118.37:

That's quicker than any other SUV out there, substantially so.

How does the Trackhawk do? It gets creamed (Jeep is left lane):

It improves slightly in subsequent runs as the Model X gets slower but still decisevely wins:

For the advertised horsepower the Trackhawk is a failure. The Tesla on the other hand can only do a few runs in ludicrous mode to back up its best time which requires almost a full battery charge.

The fact of the matter is the Model X P100D is quicker and faster than the Trackhawk.

WTF Jeep?
