Here is an unusual race that might seem lopsided with the Model Y packing much more power and torque than the Explorer, but do note that the latter had a loud police siren that was wailing at volume all the time, suppressing the opponent’s will.
Seriously, though, the Tesla was able to finish its quarter-mile run in 12.9 seconds and hit 179 km/h (111 mph) at the finish line. The ford had a good launch, but barely managed to finish in 15.7 seconds at a meager 142 km/h (88 mph).
In the second half of the video, the Explorer went up against the Chevrolet ZL1 Camaro, which proved an even worse rival: it made a 12.3-second run and had 190 km/h (118 mph) on the odometer.
As common as this kind of drag race is nowadays, we expect police in the USA to start switching to electric cars en masse. In fact, some manufacturers are already working on specialized zero-emission police vehicles.
