A Tesla Model X Plaid and a Ferrari 488 Pista went head to head in a drag race on French TV this morning, showing just how fast the family-sized electric SUV is. The Tesla Model X Plaid has quickly become one of the most popular drag racing Teslas , not necessarily because of its incredible power (though that does certainly help), but because the thought of a full-sized three-row SUV gapping a Ferrari is perhaps one of the most entertaining things you can think of.

A Tesla Semi and Cybertruck prototype were caught drag racing following the Tesla Investor Day Event earlier this week. Perhaps the most exciting part of the Tesla Semi and the Tesla Cybertruck is their acceleration. Even the seemingly lackadaisical 20-second 0-60 time of the Tesla Semi is otherworldly in the commercial truck market. At the same time, the Cybertruck might even take the record for the fastest accelerating production truck, going from a standstill to 60 in under 3 seconds.

The world emits 51 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. To solve the climate crisis, we need to cut this in half by 2030, and get to zero by 2050. For electricity generation, this means the United States alone needs to increase renewable-energy capacities by 10 times over the next 12 years , which roughly translates to a mind-boggling 400,000 more wind turbines and 2.5 billion more solar panels.
