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

Lettme describe this drag race
Demon: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tesla: …
I still know which one id rather have….
but why?
Should be on the same tires
Would only be fair
Day 523 on racing the demon against every car in the world
Will it beat a Prius, in reverse!?
It would be cooler if they put the two on a circuit
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).
Id still take the demon v8 rumble ftw!
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
