Drag Race: Ferrari SF90 Stradale vs. Tesla Model S Plaid

Electric cars are gradually becoming our reality, even though some manufacturers prove faster to adopt new tech than others. Ferrari is still in mid-transition, having released the 1,000-horsepower SF90 Stradale two years ago. It is a flagship supercar for sure, but can it hold its own against a Tesla Model S Plaid?

DragTimes decided to find out. The king of all Teslas ekes out a small power advantage at 1,033 PS (1,019 hp / 760 kW), but whatever it gains from that extra bit of thrust is negated by its substantially greater weight. The Ferrari rocks some cutting-edge racing equipment and is generally a better fit for the ‘track weapon’ stereotype.

But which one is the faster off the line? Watch the video and find out or read on for spoilers. If you insist on knowing how it went, at first the Model S Plaid jumps the start twice and forfeits points to the SF90 Stradale, but the remaining three runs decisively award the victory to the Tesla.
