Video shows Tesla Model S go head-to-head with Chevrolet Corvette in drag race — see who gets left in the dust

Electric vehicles continue to gain ground on traditional gas-powered cars in terms of both sales and performance. A recent video posted to a Tesla fan account on X (formerly known as Twitter) shows a Tesla Model S beating a gas-powered Chevrolet Corvette in a drag race.

Tesla Cars Only (@teslacarsonly) posted the video with no accompanying information about where the race took place, when it took place, or what the distance covered was. It does, however, clearly show the Tesla Model S beating the Chevrolet Corvette with a time of 9.36 seconds to 10.6 seconds.

“TESLA MODEL S SHOWING CHEVROLET CORVETTE DUST IN A DRAG RACE,” the account captioned the video.

The result of the race is probably not surprising to anyone familiar with the two cars. The Chevrolet Corvette is advertised as going from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds. The Tesla Model S is advertised as going from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.99 seconds.
