Say "P85D" to Tesla owners and fans, and you will see the drooling and twitching and heavy breathing and lustful stares--and more drooling--that Tesla's fastest, highest-performance electric car brings.
The same happens with the word "Hellcat" for fans of high-powered Hemi V-8 performance.
Now, courtesy of two owners--each convinced that their car is the fastest, baddest beast on the road--we know what happens when the two cars face off on the drag strip.
Two days ago at Palm Beach International Raceway, a Tesla Model S P85D and a 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat competed in the traditional quarter-mile drag race.
Hint: It's no contest. At all. And the quieter car wins decisively.
...
And, now, can we please stop with the "wimpy electric golf car" stuff?

Watching that, the Tesla started out about 1/2 second before the ‘Vette. I watched it 4 times to be sure.
The Tesla “won” by 0.24 seconds.
Nope, not buyin’ it.

Compares I-4 to SIX cylinder. Not to the V8.
I agree, the Challenger needed real driver.
