Video Summary
The Tesla Model X Plaid has three electric motors with one on the front axle and two on the rear, giving it all-wheel drive. The motors combined produce 1,020 horsepower and 1,420 newton meters of torque. The Tesla has a single-speed transmission, but it has launch control. The Plaid weighs 2,468 kilograms. It costs just under £127,000.The Koenigsegg Agera RS has a 5-liter twin-turbo V8 putting out 1,360 horsepower and 1,570 newton meters of torque. That power is sent to the rear wheels only by a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, with launch control. It weighs 1,395 kilograms and costs £3,500,000.
During drag races, the Tesla was consistently faster, but at the last race, there was an issue with the launch control on the Agera. The Agera wasn't gaining traction well at launch with traction control off, but it also could not put the power down without it. The Agera RS experienced some mechanical problems.
The 1/4-mile times were both 10.2 seconds. The Tesla prevailed in the braking test, and the Koenigsegg owner left the video to be serviced.
