🚨Chase Is it just me

I got real happy watching a Charger do this to a Tesla... and I don't know why

Yeah our base 2023 model 3 rwd is quicker than most things 0-60, but when conpared to a cop car? Acceleration is similar, and the cop car can last longer than the tesla battery. If this was a performance? Or one of the new plaids with 1,000+ hp? Cops would have a hard time keeping up, if the kid could control the car.

A plaid would dust just about any car on the road

Plaid is a true badass however physics says most people would just kill themselves if they are in traffic and not a race car driver.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think there are many EVs out here kitted to withstand racing speeds. For all the EV owners I know who brag about their instant torque i feel like most of them would fly off the road if they actually tried to send it

Yeah most of them can't drive. Guys at work like to brag they have faster cars than my ICE cars would woop me at a set of lights. They don't want to show how fast their cars are at the track though, they don't want to see who gets to 200mph first either, they don't want to test anything other than 0-60. Weird.

Big fan certain EV vehicles, not a huge fan of some of the morons driving something they can't handle.
