However, here's a telling comparison
| Tesla Model S Plaid | Ferrari SF90 Stradale | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) | Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) |
| Drivetrain/Motors | AWD / Tri-Motor (AC permanent magnet synchronous motor, carbon-fiber-wrapped rotor, liquid-cooled, with variable frequency drive (1x motor in the front, 2x motors in the rear) | All-Wheel Drive / 3 motors (2 front, 1 rear) |
| Engine | Not Applicable | V8 – 90° – turbo – dry sump (mid-engine) |
| Transmission | Front: Single speed fixed gear, 7.5:1. Enhanced lubrication, Rear: Independent single speed fixed gear, 7.5:1. Dry sump lubrication | 8-speed, F1 dual-clutch transmission |
| All-electric range | 348 miles (560 km) with 21″ wheels / 396 miles (637 km) with 19″ wheels. EPA estimated. | 15 miles (25 km) using eDrive mode |
| Acceleration 0-60 mph | 1.99 sec | 2.3 sec (2021 model year) |
| Power | 1,020 hp | 986 hp |

The EV has more power, torque, 0-60, 0-100 than the Ferrari, only lagging by 11 mph in terms of top speed
Tesla panache: 0
Ferrari panache: ∞
In the 1971 Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, Brock Yates and Dan gurney drove a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 from NYC to Redondo Beach (2,863) in 35 hours 54 minutes (somewhat slowed by snow in the Rocky mountains), including fuel stops.
You’re luck if you can put a full charge on a Tesla in 36 hours.
