Video shows Tesla Model S Plaid go head-to-head with Bugatti Divo in drag race — see which car lagged behind

A recent video on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed a Tesla Model S Plaid outpacing a Bugatti Divo.

The Tesla driver got off the line much faster, and the vehicle reached a top speed of 234.85 miles per hour.

The video, apparently from South Korea, was posted to the platform on Oct. 1.

Tesla says the Model S Plaid “has the quickest acceleration of any vehicle in production.” The car maintains 1,000 horsepower to 200 mph and has a range of 396 miles. It goes from zero to 60 mph in 1.99 seconds.

Last year, Tesla reported delivering more than 1.3 million electric vehicles globally. The company is looking to lead the charge into the future with sustainable factories and other environmentally focused goals, including low water use in manufacturing.

Road transportation was the source of three-quarters of the carbon dioxide pollution from Asian countries in recent years, and the production of batteries makes the creation of an EV more environmentally costly upfront than the creation of a vehicle with an internal combustion engine (ICE), according to Earth.org.
