Can the Tesla Model S be beaten at drag race ? Well ....
Filmed at the SoCal Euro Gathering in San Diego Sept 2013. Several 1/8 mile runs featuring the all electric M3 running against gas cars, and a Tesla Model S. Driven by Matt Hauber.
"OMG ! Is that the tires burning out ?! " Big EV grin for Race car driver Bill Caswell :-)
EV West: "Rally racing's favorite privateer and Pikes Peak veteren, Bill Caswell, stopped by the EV West shop to take the electric M3 for a test ride. Ride along with Bill as he takes his first ride in a performance oriented electric vehicle"
Matt Hauber a former intern at EVTV (the live cable cutter). They converted a 1995 BMW M3 to Electric drive with two Warp 11HV motors and EVnetics Shiva controller, and the result is scary !!
