Is Tesla Model S Plaid The Fastest Mass-Produced EV? | Acceleration Test vs Zeekr 001 FR 

A bit disappointing, as you intentionally made fun of zeekr by charging chinese language inside Zeekr. Why didnt you even check how to launch? and you keep saying tesla as 'We'. Are you employed by tesla? get salary? I dont think so. However, Model S was a huge success and the competition was interesting. I hope the US keep working for competition, not hiding behind the tariffs.

Zeekr just goes, Tesla needs preconditioning done with third party gadget. Zeekr is a true winner here.

This is a Tesla gadget channel I don't expect it to be fair. Seems Biased, you wanted Tesla to win you stated "for the community", no temperature check on Zeekr n why would someone wait for Tesla to reach optimum temperature. Also since you mention you don't know Chinese can't be sure you selected the quickest mode in Zeekr. Also last race zeekr 0-100 in 2.45 doesn't make sense, should be 2.07 but i do expect Tesla gadget channel to be biased.

Lucid Sapphire is quicker than the Plaid. However, it is really expensive.

The Tesla isn’t faster than the Zeekr, the wheels size on the Zeekr is what gives the Tesla an advantage, use the same wheels size and you’ll see the difference

Zeekr is a Chinese car manufactured that came out of nowhere?? It belongs to Geely Group as a sister brand of Lynk & Co targeting high end electric car while Lynk & Co targeting low to mid end market. So even it is funded in 2021 the brand is announced by Geely and Volvo in 2016 in German.

The Zeekr 001FR is so cool

Price - Tesla:RMB 814,900 /Zeeker :RMB 769,000 and actualy for me Zeeker is looking nice

The battery for both cars should be at similar temperature, to make it more objective of a test.

When I saw the stats, I thought there was absolutely no chance the Tesla is losing this. The Plaid is not actually 1020hp. We don't know how Tesla measures their kW power but on dyno, the Tesla reaches up to 1,100hp. So realistically the difference, given that Zeekr provides more reliable numbers, is just over 150hp. That with nearly 300kg difference combined with the fact that the Model S is more aerodynamic means only baad stuff for the Zeekr.

was the plaid not in drag mode in the first race? that will heat up the battery without needing the buttons

The Lucid Air Sapphire defeated the Tesla Model S plaid in a drag race already.

Would be nice to be able to try FR. It is clearly super fast and probably have great driving dynamics also and not only fast in drag race.

Did you also pre-heat the Zeekr battery (if the question makes sense)?

What is really impressive on the zeekr is the battery. Plaid is battery limited, motors are good for a lot more than 1200hp. New model 3 performance is battery limited as well. Tesla need better batteries.

The battle of electric speed!

I like the Zeekr, but it's unlikely to come to the U.S. anytime soon. I'd stick with the tested/proven Model S Plaid if I had the money to drop. But for now, I'd probably go for the new Model 3 Performance. I've sat in the seats and they are super comfortable and supportive and I love the look of the Highland refresh. It's a lot for the money. Now if the S3XY buttons worked a bit better in my older Model 3, I'd REALLY like that. I programmed one to do a brief horn honk and it has a frightening lag (+>1 second, which sounds like not much but it's usually far past the time I need it). And then there is the door presenter option. Sometimes it works. Sometimes not. And sometimes when I just walk by the car (several feet away) in a parking lot or if am sitting close to it at a restaurant, then it pops open when I don't want it to. I have to circle back or get up from my table and close the door again.

Tesla Model S Plaid! ❤❤

You guys absolutely rock in general. Best 3rd party Tesla product company I’ve come across so far. If anyone is on the fence about getting Enhance’ sexy buttons or knob, just go for it. You won’t regret it. Hell, the navigator unit that is the brains behind it, justifies the cost on its own with everything it lets you customize. FWIW, I have a ‘24 M3 RWD. I use Navigator for presenting driver’s door (when I’m away from home), and the continuous autopilot, which is really nice. I use 6 buttons. 4 of which I stuck under the center armrest. 1 dedicated to the glovebox (this one is on the globebox), 1 for folding and unfolding the mirrors, 1 for presenting the passenger door or either of the rear doors (single click, double click, and long press), 1 for turning on all interior dome lights, 1 for flicking on and off the brights, and 1 for turning on seat cooling, seat heating, or steering wheel heating. I use a number of these daily.

I tried both car, zeekr is much much luxurious inside. Its comparable to Benz GLe at least

Congratulations ! This video is 🔥! 👏🏻👏🏻

So what was the battery temp of the zeekr?

I’d take the one that looks better. The Zeekr is much nicer.

The Plaid is the best for sure !!!

Crazy, I recently just experienced the Plaid acceleration and my heart was beating so fast even after the fact. Great video guys!

I want try this Zeeker :)

2525 - 2265 = 260 kg, NOT 150! 🤦🙄

Remove the top speed limiter on the Model S plaid . I'll be happy with 200mph GPS

1. Tesla need to warm up it's battery to win, while Zeeker doesn't need to warm up it's battery to win this biased race. 2. They called the Tesla 'we' instead of just Tesla to show how ridiculously biased this drag race is. 3. They keep making fun of the Zeeker.

You guys didn't even swap tracks and drivers.

Make a button and a scenario when you need it, sale…. God, when will this society learn smth to live without unnecessary garbage surrounding them.

I just like how the guy in the zeeker talks....sounds like a villain in a nuclear related movie...just hilarious

Good to see competition for Tesla, although I still don’t know who needs 0-60 in 2s, or why anyone would use it other than to show off to friends. Love my M3 RWD. But I love your products, so big supporter of you and your channel.

How come you didn't warm up the battery on the zeeker. And why no best of 3 race ?

Both cars are insanely fast. I’ll keep my model 3 RW and not buy as many tires.

The S3XY buttons are so useful for heating up the battery no matter where you are. I got my 2024 Model 3 Performance to do a 10.75 @ 127 mph 1/4 mile by preheating the battery for 7 minutes. It would have been closer to 10.95 without heating the battery. I really love using the S3XY buttons to control the turn signals too. The new buttons on the Highland Model 3 make no sense at all. I just use the S3XY buttons now.

heyo this is shot in bulgaria! where are you guys??? i would love to test this zeekr

Great tool! Its a must for every Tesla owner

under 6s to 100 in petrol cars is great performance figure. It's already faster than most Japanese vehicles. EV acceleration just starts in different level

Are you sure you're in zeekr Kimi Raikkonen mode? Or enter track mode, which requires waiting for the battery and motor to enter the best condition

i want so see the zeekr after 100k miles

You should at least make 3 races to be precise.

It made the plaid look slow with 2.5+ tonne. Chinese car getting unstoppable

We don't want the size of the tire in wheel size, we want the width and side wall size in mm.

Jeesh 😢 that rocket 🚀 went straight from the screen & into the tarmac. Things are escalating pretty quickly nowadays.

Taycan Turbo GT. How long does Plaid need to be ready for launch? I heard something like 15 minutes. The Taycan Turbo GT is ready for launch instantly.

You didn't have to do my poor Model 3 Highland so dirty like that 😭

Correction : Tesla is weight 2162 not 2265

it's slightly different

the Tesla Plaid is 3 years older than Zeekr 001 FR .

Do you know rimac nevera?

I never saw a Zeekr before, till I went to Israel. These cars look so good. The interior could compete with many German cars even. Shame we will never see them in the USA.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Can the sexy buttons make a long range model y have something similar to track mode ?

First...they didn't even use cheetah mode in the tesla which would have heated the battery and gotten an even better start.. but even if it lost? It would still be the fastest MASS production car ever made because neither the zeekr nor the Lucid model that beats the S PLAID are mass produced

hahah "and for all you nerds"😂 awesome video guys! love it!

😮 1265 ch !!

Based on the starts not alot in it 🤷‍♂️

The FR have a speed limiter not allow you to have top speed like the Plaid.

We dont know if its a 2020 tesla plaid with a topspeed 164mph are a 2022-2024 tesla plaid with 200mph top speed seramice breaks

Lucid Sapphire is already proven to be the fastest mass produced EV in the world. I’m glad your channel specified that the Zeekr had 4 motors and the Tesla had 3 👍

Winning is winning @Toretto

Not bad .......thanks

Strange that you didn't mention anything about the zeekr battery temp. That's biased in favour of the tesla. Both cars were in equal condition in the first drag and the zeekr won. That's the true result.

It's pronounced "plad" (without the I) not "played". 😉

whats the battery preconditions bs. For start up get up and go Zeekr wins

🚀🚀🚀

Race Tesla S Plaid vs Rimac Nevera

porsche on electric is better and doesn't have the trouble of driving the track several times and fast highway they can us over 300 km per hour

You need to get a Nevera ... 😜😏

3:21 presumably those are the WHEEL diameters not the tyres. 🤓 Sorry for nit-picking your great video. :) I'd also love if they could cover 100 km in a few seconds. Speeds are km per hour, km/h or even the dreaded kph. :) km is a distance. :)

zeekr has georgian nubmer?

How cold was the battery in the Zeekr

You guys should have warmed up both batteries to make sure it was a fair fight. Tesla plaid only won by a nose hair 😂😂 for a Chinese car to even be able to keep up with a tesla plaid just shows how far the Chinese engineering has come

Should be best of two out of three.

Biased review. We're you guys trying to get paid by Tesla or we're you already paid. I mean, this was already a promo about the sexy buttons... 😂😂😂

Tesla model 3 RWD 2024 have 6.1sek to 100kmh ! In year 2022 M3 RWD get 280hp optimized motor that is still in M3RWD . From year 2019 to december 2021 M3RWD have 325hp motor and 5.6sek to 100kmh. World know data :)

What about prices?

The zeeker is almost 300kg heavier than Tesla... And the driver don't even read chinese😂

Pretty diplomatic video, but the point to all this to sell more sexy buttons. I think zeekr is a major contender could beat model s by 55-45

So in normal conditions the zeekr was faster. Speaking of that battery prewarming, was that done for the zeekr also? And shouldn’t it be 2 or 3? Or zeekr won that also ahaha

Why you try sound so Murican???

😀Guys made effort for the tesla to win but you didn't make any change on Zeeker to win!! Which one is stronger if one needs a booster(weed) to win

Rimac and lucid already destroyed the Plaid. The lucid beat the Tesla by so much the driver had time to have a drink at the finish line. Lucid and Rimac are the fastest EVs in a drag.

aasome video, looks like top gear !!! #TopS3XY

Did anyone else say WTF is a zeeker 😂

Zeeker seems better

Tesla is much better, looking better, have more technologies, faster than Zeekr with more 250 hps. Tesla also have the best top speed.

Cool video,but the plaid it isn't the fastest anymore😢😢 it's the Lucid Sapphire,sadly,lol

Es ist absolut uninteressant, wie die Autos geradeaus fahren. Da kommt es nicht auf die Zehntelsekunde an!!! Wichtiger ist, wie sich die Autos auf der Rennstrecke oder kurvigen Straßen bewegen lassen.

Cool !

BTW~ That guy didn't switch to sport mode，Zeeker's default is economic mode，Also, Zeeker's entire vehicle is heavier because it uses the safest materials and the most luxurious interior and sound system, Even with a tariff of 100%, it still exceeds its value

Some pages shouldn't exist

4:46 and 6:46 is what you are looking for.

Marketing spectacle, why is there not a 2000HP Bugatti here? Oh, by the way, the scope of these cars is different, Plaid is refined for all around, I do not expect ZEEKR 001 to do anything notable on the Nürburgring, as will lose a lot of time on the curves.... so is specially made for the drag race tests... with 4 motors and more power... simple useless out of this kind of race...

🎯

It’s a BS drag test. The Zeeker driver even doesn’t know his car. His job is to push accelerator. When S-plane lost the first round, the battery temperature became a point, this means S-Plade has its know weak point while NO ONE IN THE RACE Know how to set best performance of Zeeker. That the BS part! Because it raced between one car set for best performance while No Knowledge about its rival. It’s handy cap races regardless who win, it’s meaningless.

Lucid air sapphire bro smook tesla which has less hp than zeekr

Rimac Nevera guys is the fastest electric car

I'm so jealous! You lucky f***ers... 😉😁 That was great! 👌
