Tesla Model S v Holden V8 Supercar v Walkinshaw HSV GTS Drag Race 

That's the most polite trash talking I've ever heard.

I enjoyed this Aussie Seth McFarlane.

“Hey Tim, what r u listening to over there?” Sounds of epic Aussie v8 idling “Oh...good”

Four wheel drive and instant torque. No competition

It's the quiet ones you need to watch out for..

As much of a fan as I am of the Tesla, I really did think the V8 supercar would have been much closer. Sucks that it got smoked, I love those supercars. But god damn, that Tesla is crazy. What's mind boggling to think is if Tesla made an out and out supercar I wouldn't be surprised if the thing warped into another fucking dimension.

they should have put it against a fpv f6 that some ford bogan had tuned in a shed

the tesla won but still he talks about the sensational sound of a v8 now that is standard

"It weighs less than my glovebox" xD Brilliant humor throughout, loved it.

If this is how good Tesla can make their electric cars after only 10 years in the business, imagine how good they will be in 20 years' time!

I didn’t like watching these beautiful Aussie machines getting smoked by an RC car but I guess Elon deserves it

But can it do corners or bends whilst being powerd by coal? I'd like to see a track race with all three

The comments section is pathetic. "It's not fair! the tesla uses 4wd!" "It's not fair! the v8's professional driver isn't good enough!" "He's not changing gears quickly enough!" "They should have used a real drag racer against the tesla!" Is it so hard to accept the fact that the tesla is fast as fuck, and gas powered cars are becoming obsolete??

Meanwhile, here in the real world in Australia I have owned a Model S for almost a year. Running costs have been an extra $20/quarter on my power bill - lost solar feed in. I won't be needing to get it serviced any time soon, the brakes and discs will last 8+ years, the battery has more than 7 years remaining warranty, the whole car has more than three years warranty left, I have never been beaten by anyone who wanted to have a go at the lights, I can merge and pass instantly and silently no matter what, I have more interior space than a full sized SUV, I have double the load space of a full sized SUV and triple that of any other sedan. I haven't been to a petrol station this year, I get free energy whilst parked at my local shopping centre or my favourite nearby restaurants - that's free parking and free 'fuel' while I'm parked. The car has had two performance enhancing software updates since I bought it - so it has gotten better with age - for free.

When Tesla releases their second generation roadster, it won't be racing cars, it will be racing jet aircraft... and winning.

wow! surprising how well they all preformed.

The comments are like watching the dinosaurs debate the trajectory of the asteroid.

Awesome video! Without even mentioning that there's a ludicrous mode to lengthen the lead!

All these comments that start with "IF". If the racecar had a proper driver, if this if that. Well if any of those ifs came true, you could just trot out the fastest Tesla and pants the car again. This one *ISN'T EVEN THE FASTEST TESLA*. This one is 2 year old tech, with insane mode. The fastest ones have Ludicrous mode and are about half a second quicker 0-100. Half a second is basically *forever*. The fast Tesla is as much faster than this one as this one is faster than the petrol car.

"It weighs less than my glove box" lmao

Ok that was the best segment you guys have done yet! As an American who loves watching about cars in Australia that I can't buy/drive, this is the kind of thing I enjoy so more like this please:)

And this isn't even a P90D

2 motors vs 1 motor and what's the range per tank/charge time taken to charge vs fill

Any chance of making another vid with the P100DL?

this is like you were in the 1900 and you were racing the best steam engine there is against the most recent 1900s diesel engine

I own a Tesla. They have INCREDIBLE pickup and responsiveness. And far less moving parts are inherent in the electric car design. Electric cars are the cars of the future.

That was fantastic. I remember when electric car trials across Australia were all covered with solar panels and top speed of about 60kph.

You guys should do the race again but with the new tesla model s p100d

That video was hilarious. I really enjoyed it. Great humor and informative.

That's incredible. Just, epic.

Great video. Great commentators. Keep it up guys!

400km range electric car, that is pretty good!

I'd like to see Tesla do Mt Panorama at Bathurst in race conditions, full 1000kms, pit stops etc.

Why do most Holden drivers hang out the windows while driving? To hold the side panels on so they don't fall off.

I love v8s and I own one as well. I think in the future petrol powered engines will only be available for cars aimed at enthusiasts and electric motors will inherit the roads. But it's not all bad, that tesla looks dynamite.

I didn't know Seth Macfarlane was an Aussie.

This is not even the P90D, which is EVEN faster and has 2.9s 0-60 which is same as the Bugatti Veyron. P90D has the Ludacris mode!

that was so good to see two commodore get well and truly smoked

"It's lighter than my glovebox!" 😂

Those who say _"Ohh it's not the same feeling, not the same whine"_ is akin to some old fella saying they miss the whine of their horse with the carriage :D :D Yeah technology is tearing down petrol motors, accept it. - On a race track, performance matters - acceleration and speed. The car delivers. Garages don't care about high rpm sounds. - For governments etc, low pollution matters. The car delivers. - For normal people, efficiency and quietness matter (on top of all above). The car delivers. This technology will only improve, but surely take over everything in no time. You are still allowed to whip out your old petrol engine car and take it for a ride, people will reminisce indeed with "awww" smiles on how undeveloped we were. It will make nice humbling moments.

I'm going to make a few videos of petrol stations to show my kids. He's only 3 and he knows a petrol station when he sees one... but alas, this era is coming to an end. Not abruptly. Not immediately, but slowly but surely the electric era will dominate. In the future, people will drive around in old cars that emit sounds of petrol engines. Perhaps they will vibrate, too. But, pop the hood and you'll find an electric donk in there. Real petrol engines will be few and far between. 50 years from now, if you ever manage to drive your internal combustion engine down the main strip, it will initially be faced with scepticism "Ohh yeah sure, that aint a real internal combustion engine. It's just an electric engine with speakers." Then... you pop the hood and everyone will gasp. It will put a smile on people's faces. Imagine... these engines filled practically every car in the world for a century. The sound was glorious. The ride was mesmerising. It was an amazing time in human history. Such nostalgic imagery would undoubtedly be very selective. We will remember the good and forget the bad. The internal combustion engine, after all is said and done, is a complete and utter hack. It always has been. Through pragmatism and sheer willpower we have made it refined. In the words of Reeves Callaway: "If you think about all the parts required to get something as archaic as the internal combustion engine to work properly, you'd go crazy - the device normally shouldn't work very well. But, after a century of constant evolution it is an example of execution over design." Electric motors? My gosh... so straight forward. So simple it's embarrassing. You see what these first generation Teslas can do? That was nothing. The tech is not even trying. There's not even decent competition in the electric car space yet. But competition IS coming... and when it comes in 2016, 2017, 2020... 2025... my gosh... it won't even be a contest anymore. The electric car's reputation is not going to be made on videos such as this. It's going to be made on the streets. In countless drag races across the world. The traffic light grand prix. One by one, petrol enthusiasts will fall. Confident in their machinery to prevail... and in the seconds after the lights go green watch the brutal stark reality flood over their gaze. That's not to say that there isn't something awesome about internal combustion engines. They will be sorely missed. Many will become collectors items... but don't try and pit them against the new stuff. It's a battle that seems neck and neck at the moment - but as time goes on it's just going to get silly. There is more to love about internal combustion than speed. There is no shame in admitting a quicker and more powerful tech that is transitioning our personal mode of terrestrial transport. You got something special to share your kids and your grand kids when all this ALL THIS people... is gone. You have a special place in history. You got to drive internal combustion engined vehicles. Be proud of that. Remember that.

this was a really honest video. They admitted they lost and didn't make too much of a fuzz about it. top job!

Unbelievable, I wouldn't have thought that possible.

I didn't know Seth McFarlane's twin (or Doppelgänger) was that much into cars..

New slogan for Tesla: "Silent, but deadly"

So what would happen if they did a full circuit of the track and put those electric motors under the acceleration/ deceleration stresses of the corners etc. Also another 120 h.p. (so that both cars have the same output) in the supercar with four wheel drive added might even turn the straight line result around?

I was driving next to the WPP-03 around Wollongong and it made my car shake so much, it also sounded like a demon when accelerating! As nice as it is though, I would prefer the Tesla.

when he beats the v8 supercar: (removes sunglasses) "mother of God!"

It impressed me this video. But the thing that impressed me more was seeing Paul Mavics name. It's nearly the same as mine😲👍😂

Now give them a lap around the track and let's see who comes in first

Oil is going the way of the dodo, at least for vehicles. Somebody please show Harper this.

Electric 1 - Gas 0

all wheel drive, electric drive can be controlled with such precision, no wheel spin, max traction. What's more, comfy seats, great sound system with no interfering noise from loud engine.

How long does this battery last? And how much to replace the Battery?

Very entertaining!! Thumbs up for EVs. Enough money has been paid to the oil Sheiks in mid-east.

Good , now let's see how well it goes on ice against a snowmobile .

lets see how it goes doing a lap around the track?

wow.... im a hugh car fan in general and do also love holden .. no excuses.... loved the two races. im also a vf gts owner... that tesla is insane.... just shows where modern fast cars are currently and also where the future lies... electric hybrids with all wheel drive. i wouldve loved it if hsv couldve used awd in their developments over the years....

I’d love to see this re-done later this year with the new Model S Plaid +, which is sub 2 seconds 0-100...

Holy shit. I'm honestly stunned with the Tesla's performance. Elon Musk is the ultimate badass

The commute to work has just got a hell of a lot quicker.

Everyone! Look up 1320s video of the Telsla trolling the streets. I love my Holden V8s, but these electric cars are very, very capable. Good video. Also, keep in mind muscle cars are more known for top speed, not acceleration. The Tesla has great top speed and lightning acceleration.

Put the Tesla and a GTR on a track, then see who's called Godzilla for a reason....

That weird, where are the GTR fanboys?

That is the mot impressive car I have ever seen. I'm not a car lover but if cars turn out like this a will become one.

Insane Mode!!!! I need it!

Why is it you only seem to see Teslas in a straight line drag race. When they say worlds fastest 4 door, is this top speed or over a given distance to to a specific speed?

These guys: Indy Car driver: Hello There! F1 Car driver: You've gotta be kidding! Funny Car driver: 😋🍿yum yum... This is cute

how long was the race? didn't look like a 1/4 mile length

“It weighs less than my glovebox” 🤣🤣

It's funny that you can take a really comfortable sedan and race the lights against a nicely equipped Corvette or some other sports car and have reasonable expectations of winning, especially if you've opted for the Ludicrous Speed option on yours Tesla.

I can't wait until Tesla comes out with the P90X!!

The sound of dinosaurs screaming.... and in their death throes.

And now it all comes down to one question: which one would you rather have?

Just to clarify because there seems to be many confused comments: This is the present.

I love how they act all nice to the racecar driver about his loss. The Tesla thrashed them both.

The way that second commodore come around corner like its ready to take anything for breakfast

Damn that wasn't even a competition

$150k and only a 400km range? I’ll have the Commodore.

Isnt this how a normal race against a Holden ends?

Maybe we should try the Tesla Roadster next

They should of done a rolling start race aswell, that would of made it more interesting.

Pretty impressive, race car would eat Tesla around the track...

that's not even the P90D

I'm just excited for when the Tesla Roadster comes out 🔥

Bloody amazing!

seth macfarlane?

this is the future of motor sports. I want to see a race with a race spec tesla, tires, weight reduction, the whole bit vs a V8 supercar. the race goes for as long as the tesla battery lasts. see who wins?

i wish the walkinshaw had good slick drag tires to gt some type of launch

Those V8 supercars are tricky to get off the line quickly, maybe a 10km/h rolling start would be more indicitive?

Golf carts and washing machines also have good torque

Please excuse me while I go and change my pants. Forget Holden muscle cars, Lamborghini, Ferrari forget the rest...this the now vehicle. No question that this is the must have car of the future...now! If I could I would!

Never knew Seth McFarlane was an Aussie car enthusiast!

I would so LOVE to see a Tesla P100 race car around Bathurst! W0W!!!

yes, future is bright. No stupid fuel injectors, no stupid fuel pumps, no stupid turbos, no stupid watter pumps, no stupid smelly gas and so on and on. I am so annoyed of owning internal combustion vehicles... The time will come..

Yeah, and the people near an army base often complain about noise too. Some plonkers just don't want anyone else to have fun.

They should rename the comp after this. How's "Old tech super cars"?

So how many laps of Bathurst before its dead? And refuelling stop takes how long????

A lot of people are complaining about the comparison..... I wonder what the comments would be if this video came out in 10 or 20 years time? Don't get me wrong..... I love the sound and smell of a hot V8 petrol monster... You can't deny that electric cars are quick!!!

Just when the sound of gas engines starts to sound so historical/obsolete. Welcome Tesla. Time to continue kicking a&& :-)
