Tesla Model X
Faster than "the fastest SUV in the world" (cringe)
Faster than an Alfa Romeo4C
Faster than a 4C, while pulling a trailer carrying another 4C.

Let's have a race from 0 to 300 miles and see who wins.
HighSeass
Quarter mile isn't everything, it still flips over on a track

I saw a ricer trying to race a mom in her tesla, he got smoked by her.
Jeepenstein
It still lacks the thump of a big v8, big cam and lots of compression.. Without the sound, its just .. Meh..

Bitch please, they can't outdo the velociraptor SUV. And it's armored, has an office, and looks badass as fuck.
TormentedPenguin
it has great acceleration because it's max torque is at the low end (electric motor). It's top speed on the other hand is lower than the 4C
TheZabadabadoo
About 30.

But have they gone plaid??
mmmArdbeg
Dont care. Range trumps speed for EV. What is the remaining range after those dragraces?

Who the hell buys an suv to drive fast.
swanglemydangle
I'd drive a minivan to drive fast, especially if it could beat most production run cars in a 1/4 mile. Plus, minivans rarely get pulled over
Monkeytron
That has to be at least 30!
Spetzna13
I don't think it's faster however it does have incredible acceleration while the others probably have a higher top speed and are thus faster
deralictmyballz
Faster than an srt8 Cherokee... really doubt it.
AntonioStark
Top speed no. But quicker yes. It accelerates quicker in the 1/4 mile but would lose shortly afterwards.
Apoleian
Well, in the first gif it beat the the bentley SUV, which is faster than the SRT cherokee
deralictmyballz
I meant the hellcat version and no it is not faster than the jeep.
exlurker42
Electric motor is Huge acceleration advantage.

Like my torque curves the opposite of my women.

I think you missed the joke
Real7DollaBill
So did you.
Metalhead47
Faster up to a point, then gets walked on by the other's higher top speed.
ijustimguredtosay
Just a design thing though. Currently limited to 250kph (155mph in freedom units)

FREEEEEEEEEDOM
somedude87
Limited by laws of physics. Hp dropoff after 180-200kph is significant. Motor is reaching top speed
fraxinusoleaceae
For sure, but I live in a city so the 1/4 time is the best reflection of all the fun I'd ever have in it. If I lived in AZ or somethin'.
Metalhead47
I'd like to know how many 1/4 mile runs that can get before the battery is dead.
stickyexportpanda
I think it can drive 500km before running out of power
Metalhead47
That's "normal" driving. How many full-on quarters can it run & still drive home?
zhodges
about 5/7
qualiti
Well played
TheBrett
Why do you feel the need to protect the honor of combustion engines?
Metalhead47
Because electrics still have a long way to go to equal them, especially for simple practicality.
me2me2
How is not having to find a gas station for practicality? I'm looking forward to charging at home.
Metalhead47
Because, ATM, there are gas stations EVERYWHERE, and fueling takes only a few minutes.
benmyfriend
Why do you think this? Electric motors seem superior in basically ever way.
Metalhead47
Except the most important: practicality. This is where IC holds its edge, as it's been the standard for a hundred years.
benmyfriend
But why do you think electric motors are not practical?
