Weird, when I reference your own source it supports my argument.
No, it does not.
Let me remind you of "your" argument:
At every other speed besides from a dead stop, the Tesla loses the "race."
And yet using Car and Driver measured data--- the Tesla wins the race multiple times NOT from a dead stop.
5-60, 30-50, and 50-70--- the Tesla wins all of them, and comfortably.
So your argument is factually wrong.
. It clearly makes more power.
yes, it does.
While also carrying a thousand pounds extra weight
Which is why it takes so long to get to the finish line in comparison.
It seems you may not be experienced with fast cars
ROTFL
On the contrary- I'm the one who understands which guy actually wins in a race.
, since you don't understand the implications of a car pulling on another from a roll. Reaction time is divorced from trap speed.
But the video you posted was based entirely on reaction time because it was "video 2 cars against each other with the 'start' being entirely based on human reaction times"
Carwow is the same guys who had different drivers in different Tesla suggest a non-P AWD Model 3 pulling on a P.
Their lack of actual calibrated measuring and relying on human reactions is...not useful.
the car making more power will always pull on the car making less power once they get moving - which the BMW does every time.
Except, no, it does not. Because it weighs 1000 pounds more
Tested: 2022 BMW i4 M50 Is an EV M3
The new electric 4-series outruns an M3 Competition to 60 mph, and it costs less.

BMW takes 1.5 seconds to go from 30-50 (Spoiler: starting at 30 means it's already moving)
BMW takes 2.0 seconds to go from 50-70 (again- it's already moving here)
Tested: 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance Hits 60 in 3.1 Seconds
Tesla's smallest sedan is amusing with more power and better handling.

Tesla Model 3P takes 1.1 seconds to go 30-50 (spoiler: that's faster than the BMW from a roll)
Tesla Model 3P takes 1.7 seconds to go 50-70 (spoiler: that's also faster than the BMW from a roll)
0-60
5-60 rolling starting
30-50 rolling
50-70 rolling
1/4 mile
The Tesla gets there quicker than the BMW in every case. Including the ones from a roll.
"Makes more power but ends up losing every race" is not a great marketing slogan, but it's what BMW seems to be going with here.
Again- when they build a ground up EV that isn't 25% heavier than it needs to be they might have something. The i4 ain't it.
