Tesla Plaid Takes On Lucid Air and Porsche Taycan Turbo
Posted On: February 20, 2022

Three of the most powerful sedans in the world, three-wide down a dragstrip. DragTimes returns to Hennessey's private track to see who reigns supreme as the fastest four-door money can buy.


DragTimes is at it again with the third and final installment in the series that has previously seen the Model S Plaid beating the Lucid, and the Lucid wiping the floor with the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. This is the big one; three of the quickest, most powerful sedans in the world, on a drag strip, at the same time. I say "three of" and not "the three most powerful sedans" thanks the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye holdin' it down for internal combustion with seven hundred and ninety-seven old-fashioned, loud and angry horsepower from its coal-burning V8.


Anyway, back to the EV Three, and some quick stats on each.
Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance is $169,000 USD.


Tesla Model S Plaid is $129,000 USD.


Porsche Taycan Turbo S is $220,000 USD.


If you watched the other videos in this series the result of the first race will probably come as no surprise. Despite the Porsche using its launch control function the fact that its down 270 horsepower and up 500 lbs. means it doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against the Plaid. It's unclear whether the Plaid was using launch control, and the Lucid Air has no such system.


With the Porsche relegated to being more of a camera car than a competitor this race is all about Tesla versus Lucid, and much like in the previous video the Plaid is more than a match for the Dream Edition Performance. The Lucid gets a good start and puts up an admirable fight, but the Tesla just keeps pulling away over the full race distance. The same is true for the second race, with the Lucid nearly able to hang with the Tesla and the Porsche left far, far behind again.

My Take: I am not surprised. Both of those cars are more expensive as well.
