At our quality-over-quantity Ipse Dixit dinner this evening I mentioned the funniest Tesla drag race yet. Brian thought it worthy of a post.

"Fun fact: many high-performance cars cross the quarter mile line faster when towed by a Model X than they do on their own four wheels."

Don't miss the snowmobile race linked on that page.

So...it might as well be a model A Ford on the trailer, it would "beat" the Alfa Romero? A word game to "prove" Tesla x is powerful?  Rigor bar set at zero.

Or just about any 2,500 pound weight, yes. And it does demonstrate that the X has monstrous torque. Which it does.

Kind of poetic, though.
