Watch A Tesla Model X Give A McLaren 650S A Run For Its Money On The 'Strip
For what is essentially a glorified minivan, the Model X P90D is shockingly fast - as evidenced by this one giving a McLaren 650S a run for its money in multiple drag races
While the Model X is an impressive machine, its launch hasn’t exactly been ideal. Find out why here.

Drag races are so insignificant for me…
i wished the tesla would have spread its gull wings and flown away when it lost.
For GOD sake, put Tesla to turn some corners.
Every idiot can press a button and a pedal - the computers are making everything else in a straight line and you hold on to the steering wheel.
It’s not a secret, it’s electric and everything is commanded by a specific program (traction control, stability control and so on).
With that amount of power it should be at least as fast as a BMW M2 Coupe, or isn’t …
Theres obviously going to be no competition in a corner. Its a minivan. This is just to show how much power these awesome cars have.
Being a supercar and a performance car is SO much more than a driving in a straight line!

Why everyone is bitching that it should not be compared and all that? The tesla didn’t even standed in the drag race the 650S destroyed it. .. then why are we even talking about lap times? When in the strongest of its area it gets beaten miserably
I agree with Shobin. 0-60 times are overrated. Any sports car over 50k nowadays is pretty fast. I’ll take a light, well handling car anyway over a 5700lb poor handling pig any day no matter how fast it is.
The middle slip at 5:57 misspells the Tesla as TELSA.
You know those old men that drive their Morris Minors around on a Sunday morning, slowing everyone down, and stinking the place up?
That’ll be us in 30 years in our Skylines, 350Z’s, M5’s, Type-R’s.
