The Dodge Demon Vs Tesla Model S Race Is Much Closer On Fresh Tyres

After being blown away on heavily-worn slick tyres a couple of weeks ago, the Dodge Demon is back to challenge the Tesla Model S P100D on new rubber

Remember a couple of weeks ago when we saw a Dodge Demon get its backside handed to it by a Tesla Model S P100D? Well, the YouTubers who ran that little experiment have waded back in for another try… and this time, the Demon is on fresh drag radial tyres.

DragTimes refitted the Demon, which for this video is still running on regular unleaded fuel in the 808bhp ECU mode, with the original equipment drag radial rubber, as opposed to the heavily worn aftermarket race tyres used last time out.

The Dodge Demon Vs Tesla Model S Race Is Much Closer On Fresh Tyres

The results are a lot closer, now, with the Demon even taking the spoils at higher speeds. The only exception is the standing start, where the P100D still makes the frantically wheelspinning Demon look a bit silly.

We don’t get told how much charge the Tesla is running on, though, and we know it’s faster the more charge it has on board. DragTimes: if you’re reading this, let us know next time!

Pretty sure Teslas don’t take 325s… and AWD vs RWD makes up for the difference really.

No, because the Prius has a CVT

The demon is set up for drag and pretty much drag only.

In conclusion: Its hard to tell which car would win in a street race, but what’s certain is that the drivers will be jailed until Demons double in price/ Tesla finally goes bankrupt (whichever comes first).

The thing is it still shouldn’t be close, the demon raced a 720s while on good tyres and got stomped by a car that can actually take corners

It’s a fair race, both of them can only go fast on straights and crash when they see corners
