just watched a few videos of fast muscle cars.
Dodge Demon, Hellcat, Shelby Mustang. and a tesla beat every single car in a race.
the Shelby did the best against any car vs the tesla plaid in the 1/4 mile but how or why is the tesla so much faster than every car?
this was a tesla plaid but watched some videos of tesla s and that thang was fast, too.

Electric motors deliver “all the torque, all the time”. Whereas gasoline engines only give peak performance within a certain range of RPMs, and the driver or an automatic transmission needs to intelligently change gears to keep the engine spinning within the RPM range that delivers peak performance. Also, it takes some time for the engine to reach the RPMs of peak performance every time you change gears.
So basically, an electric car accelerates better than a gasoline car partly because electric motors are so much faster than gasoline motors, but also because they cut out a certain middleman called the transmission.
