Funny thing about your post is a Tesla S would smoke the Charger and Challenger off the red light [/quote]

Once. After one launch the car will switch to economy mode to save its battery. Tesla’s are very fast but they have little stamina. [/quote]

No not even close.

[b]A Youtuber [/b]launched his Tesla Model to 60 mph from a dead stop THIRTY-ONE times in a row with no performance degradation. Porsche let a different Youtuber take the Taycan to a track and he used launch control 30 times in a row. He was still hitting 125mph from a dead stop in 10 seconds on the 30th attempt.

Is it possible that grandpa is scared of new technology and has no idea what he's talking about?[/quote]

A Youtuber??? Oh, than it must be true if it’s on YouTube, Sonny.
From Car & Driver:
“ In just one lap at Virginia International Raceway, with the magazine's technical editor, K.C. Colwell, behind the wheel, the Model S P85D goes into reduced power mode in the middle of the single hot lap, displays an air suspension fault, and has a heart-stopping change of pressure in the brake pedal.”

Wow, literally Grandpa doesn't understand how technology can change. He's citing a review from over four years ago.  [/quote]

your arguing about two different things- teslas can repeatedly launch, they are also incapable of hot laps on long tracks unless they are special editions  [/quote]

Why anyone cares about how these vehicles (Tesla, Dodge, whatever) perform on a race track is beyond me.  Are people buying them to race at the Virginia International Raceway?[/quote]
