Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

It s time for a petrol v diesel v electric drag race! Mat s lining up in an all-new Tesla Model Y, and he s going head-to-head with a Porsche Macan GTS and a BMW X3 M40d! But which will come out on top? Well for starters, let s check out the stats. The Tesla Model Y is equipped with two electric motors which combine to produce 434hp & 494Nm of torque. As with most electric cars, it s pretty heavy, weighing in at 1, 979kg. However, it s also the cheapest car here, with prices starting from 55, 000. Alongside is the petrol competitor, the Macan GTS. It s housing a 2. 9-litre twin-turbo V6 under the bonnet, which can produce 440hp & 550Nm. It s about 40kg lighter than the Model Y, but it s the most expensive car here, costing around 66, 000! Finally, we have the X3. Powered by a 3-litre turbo diesel engine, it can only put down 340hp, but it s way up on torque at 700Nm! However, it s also the heaviest car here, weighing in at 2, 005kg. So how will this play out - will it be an easy win for the Macan? Or could the X3 spring a surprise? There s only one way to find out - LET S RACE

Tesla's are expensive in UK.
In Europe: Macan GTS 90-96k euro
Tesla Model Y LR 63-69k euro
Basically nowadays you pay premium for the looks, inferior performance and some fake exhaust sounds.
Not to forget you sponsor your unwanted government with each fill up lol

This Macan GTS and Tesla Y are almost exactly as quick as the 2 generation old Cayenne Turbo. More horsepower but quite a bit heavier, and much more lossy drivetrain in that one. And much more primitive auto box as well.

That Tesla update just means it was always able to be that quick from the very beginning but Tesla wanted to charge customers extra to unlock the full horsepower and torque the customer had already bought the whole time.

You guys are hilarious if that Model Y long range had the performance software upgrade it would be even faster by 1/2 a second. That s a lot in drag racing. Fun to watch you together.

I am speechless man! A software update speeds a car up? Will we see a future where cars won't get hardware or engines upgrade rather improves by a software update BTW, huge credit to Tesla

When it comes to diesel, I would love to see BMW X5 with M50 engine (400hp) instead M40D. I drove that one for a month, and its a monster! Anyway, great video guys!

So the Model Y is software restricted from factory, and you have to pay extra to unlock power that the car already has from factory. That is so retarded.

You could do a software update on the other two for less money and in less time. would be interesting to see the results. (OK; not OTH, via OBD2 but still.

I'm so confused, why did the gas car best the electric off the line then lose at higher speeds that's the opposite of what's supposed to happen lol
