I hear Teslas just have a off the line advantage.
Yeah they aren't performance cars like Porsche or Ferrari. Teslas and other EVs are quick because of the instant torque but those other cars are built for track performance which straightaways are only a small part of. Its why a Plaid could beat AMG GT Black Series or a Porsche in a drag race but is almost a WHOLE minute slower than the Porsche GT2RS on the Nurburgring lap.

Thats what people are paying for when they are buying $300k supercars. The all aluminum frames or all carbon chassis. Complete titanium parts. Suspensions and aerodynamics that make the car physically able to drive upside down etc. Thats where that money goes and I hate when people say, well this Tesla costs "half the price" and blah blah blah. Its great in that one aspect comparatively. But when these cars have brake systems that can operate properly while being literally on fire, it stands to reason that technology is expensive. Meanwhile Teslas are borderline about to have a class action lawsuit because of their poor brakes on the Plaid. They are good cars and are the quickest mass produced car at the moment but they still have a ways to go with performance and quality. Thats why now more than ever, they are in trouble because EVERYONE is making EVs now and you no longer have to compromise build quality like you do with Tesla to get one. shyts tight for them, thats why they dropped the Plaid in the first place.

How is the braking system set up in those cars?

Undersized, get too hot, poor heat dissipation, chatter under suspension stress etc. They dont perform well with the lateral forces from turns. Thats why they were forced to release a brake kit upgrade to a more standard performance car setup. Know how much it costs? $20,000. Similar to the prices these other cars come equipped with standard. Now, just to have a proper safe car to drive like people see them in these videos, its ballooned up to a $200k car with gaps and quality control that you shouldn't have in a car you paid that much for. Porsche and Ferrari dont have those type of issues. thats also part of what you pay for.

Only the Plaids. The rest of the Teslas get walked down by even entry model Lambos let alone Aventadors and 720S’. But you need to be a supercar to stand a chance against the Tesla performance models in a drag. Otherwise you getting gapped.
The fact that even base model Teslas are smoking the fk out of cars 3x the cost is hilarious to me. Especially the X p100d which can carry 7 passengers PLUS the groceries :mjlol:
