What can a 20-year old kid do when left unsupervised with a Tesla P85D at his disposal? Go street racing on insane mode, or at least that’s what this youngster claims.
“Dads on vacation and of course….I say it’s time for some street racing action!” writes the young man on his YouTube channel. Whether he did it without his father’s knowledge or if this is one of those dubious YouTube schemes to gather views, is unbeknownst to us.
In any case, if you think this video is about a young driver who can’t control the electrifying power of Tesla’s dual-motor Model S… model, then there’s nothing to see here; except a compilation with a P85D kicking some behinds on multiple quarter mile runs.
We certainly don’t condone such behavior on public streets, but this goes to show that a four-door automobile, driven by a young driver, is all it takes to earn some good old fashioned street rep.
While pitted against an Evo 8, a Corvette, and even a Suzuki GSX-R bike, the all-wheel-drive, 691 hp electric automobile managed to hold its chin up with ease – nothing surprising here – especially as it can register 1G accelerations of the line. In fact, it appears that only the motorcycle’s insane power-to-weight ratio can keep up (and eventually pass) the electric-powered automobile.
Judging by the Youtube channel’s other videos, the kid seems to have some experience on the drag strip, still, that’s not an excuse for some of the occurrences in the video.
