Dodge Challenger Hellcat Drag Races Tesla Model S P100D in Desperate Struggle

Nowadays, the drag racing world is moving faster than ever and we're not just talking about trap speeds, but also to the way in which drag strip adventures can spread the word on a vehicle's abilities. Let's take the Tesla Model S P100D, for instance, which has already become a sprinting phenomenon.

We're here to show you the freshest adventure involving the world's quickest production car and we'll do this with the help of a battle that has already become a classic - the EV dukes it out with a Dodge Challenger Hellcat.

You might remember this Mopar hero from the drag race that saw it being thrown at a Ferrari 458. The muscle car is stock, but it has received a pair of drag radials. And, to ensure its driveshaft doesn't become a confetti canon due to all the drag strip wear and tear, the owner has replaced it with a reinforced one.

As for the state of the Model S, this might be in factory stock form, but things should change soon.

Wait, what?

With the calendar now showing the final month of the year, we have an alert set for Tesla topics. Sure, we always try to get our hands on the freshest Palo Alto-related subjects, but there's a particularly speedy one that needs our attention right now.

We're talking about the Easter Egg the carmaker promised for December. Tesla has already released the info on the upcoming over-the-air update, which, for instance, will allow the Model S P100D to pull 10.6s quarter-mile runs.

So let's see when the release actually arrives and how long it takes the owners to figure out how to activate it. Meanwhile, we'll be keeping ourselves busy with velocity adventures involving the... non-upgraded Model S, such as the one you can find behind the "play" button below.
