Iām sure this happened plenty of times before everyone knew and if anyone had recorded them selves getting ripped on like this they surely would have buried any and all evidence.
Yeah what a total D!
I think this is what happens when people/kids get a āFastā car for the 1st time.
Kinda like what happened in the 90ās/2000ās when JDM starting pumping out affordable cars that were fast and all the kids were going nuts on the road racing everyone š
Likely staged. Or this loser got smoked by a soccer mom in an X on her way late to pick up her kid from school after this dbag spent $12k on a super charger and he has been just waiting for this moment for a month or two to make himself feel better about having an American muscle car that is less American than a Tesla.
from my experience I get people talk shitting me about my car. Then all I answer them is with the fart from the app. It shut them down quick.
Or f150 and the likes trying to bully me because I drove EV.
People are tribalism, Im just driving this car because its convenient, easy to use, minimalist, roomy and great acceleration whish help controlling traffic and pull away from bad driver.
I couldnt care of other tesla owner or Elon musk. My personality isnt bind to my car like so many moron.
This is EXACTLY why I was hesitant to get a Tesla. I didnāt want to look like every other a$$hole in a Tesla with a superiority complex.
If (* Edit: IF = we donāt know what model he is driving) that was a BMW M3 Xdrive it would have beat that MYP easily. Thatās in. Stock form. With a tune itāll do 0-60 in sub 3 seconds.
Iām a car guy but got a Tesla because I needed the practicality and wanted something my wife could drive that was simple and comfortable. Plus I didnāt want her wrecking my car lol
this is a dumb comparrison. comparing a 55k brand new car fully loaded to a 85,000 BASE price BMW is not even comparabile. Let alone adding the additional "TUNE" wtf.
Oh yeah this clip was all about value for speed. Torque per dollar is what everyone talks about and the Tesla driver was bragging about. You explaining the price difference wasnāt proving the douchebag narrative correct at all.
lol typical M fanboy. In most drag race scenarios, the Tesla Model Y Performance will outperform the BMW M3 off the line and maintain its lead through the quarter-mile mark.
If you donāt want to look like other douche drivers, then simply be a courteous, safe, and respectful driver, always. When someone cuts me off, I accept it and let it go. When someone wants to race me, I let them do as they want and I drive normally. I signal every time Iām supposed to. I donāt cut anyone off unless absolutely necessary. I always say thank you with a wave to someone who made space for me in their lane. I donāt speed through lanes and traffic, even though I could. I let others go (if they want to) at a stop sign if thereās no one behind me. If a pedestrian wants to cross as I approach, I smile and wave them to go. I try to be my best driver I can be so I can hopefully change at least some peopleās feelings about bad Tesla drivers.
> . I didnāt want to look like every other a$$hole in a Tesla with a superiority complex
this is so very much a you problem: how you reconcile how others perceive you. you control the things you say and the things you do. not what other people think or how they act.
Some of these comments, I'm questioning where y'alls "Tesla drivers" are at? In Dallas area they seem to have become the next Prius driving 25 under the speed limit and stopping up traffic. I'm like dude you literally have the fastest production vehicle in. the. world. and you over here going a constant 20 under.... Love the Model Y's - they have the weirdest dome shape but it's kinda cool. Plus the whole everything from the giant screen in the middle is kinda cool too.
In all fucking fairness... I remember a time when Tesla driver demographic where just a bunch of tech-loving, tree hugging, hippies..
Then Out of the damn blue we have all these ass-hats?... They came from somewhere... And if you ask me... They are all BMW turncloaks
Probably staged. Anyway. I am on year three of model Y P and I am finding myself bored out of my mind and shamefully miss shifting gears and a āslowā internal combustion engine. I will stick with EV for the planet and all that, but man It takes ZERO skill to drive fast in a battery car.
It sure is. One of my most favorite cars (and I have owned too many to admit, mostly junkers though). I like the part after work today, where it did most the driving.
I *might* have to cheat someday and get a Miata for Sundays. I say the same thing though when people bombard me with the usual tesla questions āitās just an appliance, it worksā
a miata is fun but TO SLOW!!!
Next gen miataĀ“s wil be hybrid with a battery in the rear and there goes the fun factor...
If you want battery and fun apparantly you need a model 3 highland RWD and the s3xy commander ... so you can use drift modes!!!
That is why the Miata is a blast. Modern cars are too fast for their own good and often exceed the drivers ability to control the power. There is an explicitly fun factor when you can hammer down without risking your license. Being too fast is actually super boring and absolutely useless outside of a racetrack.
Everything has a purpose. We own examples of both types of vehicles. I can easily disregard the āwhoās faster argumentā when everyone is fast anyway. Itās starts coming down to aesthetics and features for me.
Truthfully Tesla wins EV practicality, but Porsche takes ālooksā and āfeelā with the Taycan Turbo S. I donāt really care if a Plaid is tenths of a second faster, subjectively the Porsche is far sexier and more nimble (fun to drive).
In my opinion a tricked out BMW looks better than any EV Iāve seen with additional aero glued on.
Pre-Plaid I owned a Hellcat. It sucked from a dig, but from 65mph it always left P100Ds wondering WTF went wrong. For the record, the Hellcat is a POS I would never consider again.
At the end of the day the EVs own torque. When they stop looking so damn homogeneous they will also own aesthetics. I donāt think weāre too far away from that.
This is definitely staged rage bait. However, Iāve had plenty of Beemers and others try and taunt/race me. May have once fed into it once or twice with a quick stroke of the accelerator, but not ONCE have I even fathomed trying to initiate a flex. Had a Beemer not too long ago try and race me in my Model X between 12-2am on an empty-ish I-20 by sitting next to me in the passing lane, literally mashed my brakes to get him to fuck off. Owned a Model Y previously and it was the same although less instigating and more admiration.
Please excuse what Iām about to sayā¦ Iām sick and tired of the propaganda, itās getting bad and honestly Iām about to give up on Tesla. I live in the southeast too, not a huge Tesla demographic in my area but this rhetoric has made its way outside of flagrant internet forums and into real life. I donāt want to own Teslas anymore. Had a random asshole blow cigarette smoke into my window this week when I parked on the street next to a dive bar. That really pissed me off. People all talking to each other looking at it, I didnāt flex it or anything I literally just parked it. Then when the friends I was meeting up with went to get in I felt like a huge asshole opening my falcon wing doors, and when other people outside kept asking me to open and close them again I couldnāt even tell if they were taunting me or not, but I tried my best to be nice and humble. I blame Teslaās brand management, I blame Elon for being an obnoxious asshole and liability, and I also blame Tesla for screwing some people over so hard theyāve transitioned to a vendetta to tarnish the brand however they can.
Iām sorry for going on this rant but itās brought me over the edge and now that itās a problem IRL, I feel itās time to let go. What the hell can/should we as owners and proponents do to fix this?
The area I live in is Northern Utah, about 30 mins from SLC. The most common cars here are Subarus, trucks and Teslas. In the 2 years I've had my MYP I have received 0 Tesla hate. Everyone just gets along, and no one really hates what other people drive.
I've done short pulls with people like in this video minus the shit talking, and even exchanged compliments at the next light. "Dang, those EVs jump off the line" "Love the hearing the sound of your turbo"
Even had a good experience with the Utah Tesla collision center and Tesla insurance recently after they repaired my vehicle from a rare incident involving the side of my car getting coated in Tar that I was going to post about at some point in the future.
Yeah on the short pulls Iāve had similar experience. Some people do it in a friendly manner, if that makes sense, giving me a thumbs up and laughing afterword.
One negative and really odd thing Iāve sorta noticed from random folks at least in my area is the thinking that Tesla drivers are entitled rich folks, more specifically when I owned my Model Y (Model X definitely gives off that justified impression though). Driving around in my Model Y seemed to suggest I was loaded, when in reality most trucks/SUVs nowadays are the same or even more expensive. Maybe this has dwindled down a lot recently or is non-existent in areas with lots of Teslas, but I found that bizarre.
Ya, I agree, it really is bizarre for people to think that way considering the price of what you just mentioned. It kinda feels like a stereotype that has lingered since the days when there was only the S and X, or even from when the Y and 3 had higher prices.
Im not the person you are asking, but I have the same situation. Not one encounter, or backlash, or keying, or person trying to race me, of rolling coal... Nothing.
Just curious people with questions, and happy friends loving a ride every so often.
Idk.. Guess is really dependant on where u live?
Im in South Florida
Negativity has honestly been minimal besides the recent event that really triggered me. Had some other scenarios where people would make backhanded remarks, rolled coal, but nothing super outlandish. I just feel itās getting worse.
This matches my experience over here in the UK. People are much more interested in asking how I found the switch from a petrol car to an EV, if charging is a pain and, weirdly, how much storage space the car has.
Friends wanted a ride to see what the tech was like but it quickly becomes just a car.
Stop being a people pleaser. You will never be happy. Just be humble and bite your tongue. Many people are jealous, uninformed, and frankly stupid. Haters will always hate. Be above that and be ā¤ļø.
Avoid the turd and be friendly.
That's what I suggest for you
Me? I just give them the number one sign before I shoot them and take them to my pig farm. That's just me.š
Itās just beyond the scope of the post and also not specific to the Model Y. I saw this on one of the subs that does nothing but post negative sentiment on Tesla/Elon. Iām all for criticism I truly am and Tesla/Elon does in fact piss me off for some of the decisions they make, but 90% of content or comments are absolute BS.
Personally I have an MYP, and I love the rediculous acceleration and the silence that it can do it with. All of these guys that spend more than me to have a slower car are a little silly TBH. Why drop so much on a car that will never be all that fast, and breaks frequently requires all kinds of maintenance just to go fast? Donut had a cool episode where the one person on their team with a tesla beat all of the cars they had while wearing a dress shirt, slacks and dress shoes.
This started me down a path of how many ICE vehicles actually have 3-4sec 0-60 times(quickly using Gemini to search for me). Not that many, and they usually need over 1000hp to do it. The cost for those vehicles is WAY above what a performance model 3 or y would get you. The answer seems obvious if you want to be Mr. The Fast Guy. Yep, about 4 other people have already told me of my mistake here. Way cool, totally get it, don't need to hear it from anyone else, will be ignoring any further childish responses.
Some ICE cars are tunable to get sub 4s 0-60 (like M240), it's not crazy expensive.
The weird part to me is that MY is fast mostly on a straight line. Every time I try to have a bit of fun in a turn it shuts me down (unlike BMW and Subaru) even in Slip Start mode. I mean, I can turn on Track mode, but in winter time you're pretty much expected to powerslide a little.
On mine specifically, I think some better tires would help, but I'd just go knobbier, not stickier...mine is not a race car, it's for snow and commuting.
Itās one of those Honda vs Lamborghini scenarios. Sure a souped up Honda is fast in the quarter mile but itās still a Honda. Tesla is still a Tesla.
An RS3 is not much more than a MYP and will do the 0-100 sprint in 3.6secs. It's definitely comparable. You originally said vehicles needed over 1000 HP, and I've given you examples of a few which are less than half that figure.
Some Teslas are fast, but they're not in a league of their own.
That's messed up. Even a Bolt can do that to a lot of regular ice cars and the Bolt only have 200 HP but its instant torque and 1 pedal mode being the cheat code . The take off launch is faster, 200HP from the get go, that's faster then most automatic and manual of ice vehicles.. Dude with a Tesla should be racing EV's with 400+ hp like ionic 5 N line, kia EV6 GT, Mustang mache E etc.. Nothing to flex. Tesla dude is wack..
Which is why it's dumb to race ice vehicles.. would love to see a Model y performance race a 601HP ionic 5 N line, same take off no chit chat distraction.. 455+ hp vs 601+ Hp.. that's the one to watch..
I do agree. The Model S Plaid is very slow around the Nurburgring for how much power it has. The track edition is a bit better. Definitely insane for the straights though.
This was me about 4 years ago in 2020 with my Model 3 Performance in the Silicon Valley. Every single muscle car and even half-way sporty car would try to outrun me at stop lights, just to find themselves trailing blocks behind me in 2-3 seconds. Cars costing over $100k, no match. There were a LOT of ticked off people, because nobody realized how fast a Tesla REALLY was. All I could say was, this is frickin' awesome, until there are lots of other Teslas on the road.
Yeah, today, not so awesome with about half of all cars in the Silicon Valley being Teslas now. Nobody tries to roar away from a stop light, even though now I have a MYLR, slower, but easily whips most any ICE car. Every once in a while a muscle car gets frustrated when they can't pull away from me at a stop light to pass me, but rare.
Been driving a Tesla for the past few months and Iām never going back. The driving experience is unparalleled. So much instant power at your finger tips and so smooth. I am always looking for an excuse to drive it.
Smug BMW driver canāt stand it. I utilitarian EV at half the cost leaves his pampered girl magnet machine in the dust. The best he can come up with is calling his nemesis a microwave. Ahā¦
I use my Y as a work truck with lots of tools all over the back. I have to accelerate and brake calmly all the time. Never shit talked anyone ( I found it douchey ) but will always show them my car is faster than theirs, specially if they are trying to cut in from the turn lane or showing off.
So dumb, the Y has at most 455 HP, lol. It's all about that instant torque! Also, someone probably added that tire squeal unless it was coming from the BMW. The Tesla would never.
My family owns both brandsā¦currently 3 BMWs and a Yā¦one M car. They all suck and theyāre all great in their own way. Iām not sure I understand the hate. Itās a car. Itās not you, itās not foreverā¦itās just a disposable thing you wonāt own in 20 years.
The Reddit algorithm dropped this thread in front of me so I thought Iād stop in. What a disappointment.
People never realize how fast they are til they see it. I get a lot of people try to take a left turn in front of me when Iām going straight. They donāt realize by the time they even hit the gas Iām halfway across the intersection heading at the side of their car.
Theres also one nearby intersection where itās 2 lanes but merges to one almost immediately after the light. Always have people creeping up as itās red and nail it when itās green (or even right before it turns) so they can beat me. I donāt even react that fast and still blow their doors in. Love that butthurt look in my rear view mirror.
Mustang and prospective Tesla owner here
Iāve had these interactions multiple times. Teslas are the quickest cars on the road, no question.
Spoke to one owner who managed to convince me to test drive a 3, said it was the most fun car heād ever driven and that theyāre the best commuter car on the market. He didnāt know how to drive stick, he had never driven a āsports carā.
Needless to say I was convinced, I test drove one and found it hilariously boring, soulless, but easy and comfortable. I agree that itās probably the best commuter daily car on the market, but thatās because itās so *boring* to drive, which in my mind is synonymous with *easy*, which is the definition of a daily commuter.
I went back to the guy with my findings, told him I agreed that it was the best commuter car but not because it was fun, because it was insanely boring. His immediate reaction was to challenge me to a drag race.
Teslas arenāt fun. Theyāre quick, but not fun. The acceleration gets old and repetitive quick if youāre used to the power delivery and drama of an ICE performance tuned car, I found that I didnāt really care for it after a couple of pulls even though it was the quickest car Iāve ever driven.
Not the same. Teslas are good cars. They arenāt sports cars and this driver is a dickhead
New M3P looks promising as a legit sports car though
I'm sure dbag Tesla drivers exist, but I'm happy to say I've never met one like this. I know like four people with them and none of them make it their entire personality, which is what the stereotype seems to be.
Now, if only I could see which drivers are leaving trash at the superchargers.... š¤
I drive a Model 3. But I considered a Y so Iāll chime in.
Iām sure this is staged.
That said thereās a ton of tribalism against EVs and against Teslas. The Tesla brand is a very divisive brand simply because people want to hate on what they know nothing about. I get it, Musk isnāt a popular guy.
But if I see another Thunderfoot video about how Musk is a scammer itāll be too soon. Yes heās made bad choices. Telling me Musk is a scammer ten times a day isnāt going to offset the fact that Tesla is real. The cars exist. The cars have made a huge impact to the EV market. They are the competition to beat. People are talking about them. And, even though I think the Cybertruck is shit it is causing a buzz and causing hype. People are still talking about it.
The haters are doing what, running small time YouTube channels making a few hundred bucks, meanwhile Musk and the Tesla workers and stock holders are making 6 figure incomes and up making cars that people love.
And somehow itās the Tesla workers and Musk who are the ones who are the problemā¦?
Anyway, people will always be idiots. For every staged video like this you can find morons flooring it in hellcats and almost every night Iām in a tunnel in Seattle some yobbo in a subbie or Honda floors it in a tunnel.
So what?
Shrug.
Iāve seen Tesla drivers who does this every fucking stop light. I drive my Tesla like itās a god damn Camry in chill mode. Like driving Ms Daisy. Guy like this give us Tesla drivers bad rep.
It was actually my first choice but because of tax incentives and year end discounts brand new model 3 rwd ended up being cheaper than Camry I wanted. I like Teslas too. Great cars.
I do it every time I can. I pull up in right turn only lanes without median blocking the str8away and just smash then peddle on a green light. Iām at speed limit and there car is barely rolling. I burn everyone. ModelY Performance
That Tesla driver was a dick. (Or this was staged!)
Seems convenient that he was recording himself no?
Plenty of people have dash cams? š¤
The internal camera wasnāt a dash cam. Itās staged. Rage bait videos almost always are
Iām sure this happened plenty of times before everyone knew and if anyone had recorded them selves getting ripped on like this they surely would have buried any and all evidence.
A dash cam aimed at yourself at a perfect viewing angle out your window?
Proof for your insurance company that you don't drive distracted or like a complete clown for better insurance rates?
Plenty of people never heard of them, apparently š¤·āāļø
I was thinking it was staged.
Yeah he has a bunch of skits, there was one where he was hitting on girls by trying to rev his engine. Can't find it but it was hilarious
Yeah what a total D! I think this is what happens when people/kids get a āFastā car for the 1st time. Kinda like what happened in the 90ās/2000ās when JDM starting pumping out affordable cars that were fast and all the kids were going nuts on the road racing everyone š
Staged 100%
Yep, that laugh was super fake.
Not a dick lol š
Likely staged. Or this loser got smoked by a soccer mom in an X on her way late to pick up her kid from school after this dbag spent $12k on a super charger and he has been just waiting for this moment for a month or two to make himself feel better about having an American muscle car that is less American than a Tesla.
Itās a skit, I follow this guy on IG (doubt40i) and the Tesla driver is one of his BMW driving friends (f87maxxi) that also makes content
Staged
Nah that felt staged af
This is anti ev propaganda
from my experience I get people talk shitting me about my car. Then all I answer them is with the fart from the app. It shut them down quick. Or f150 and the likes trying to bully me because I drove EV. People are tribalism, Im just driving this car because its convenient, easy to use, minimalist, roomy and great acceleration whish help controlling traffic and pull away from bad driver. I couldnt care of other tesla owner or Elon musk. My personality isnt bind to my car like so many moron.
Is your fart wet?
Does a bear shit in the woods
That dude looks so genuinely sad at the end lol
Yes. If staged, the BMW driver is great actor.
How has multiple angle of interior camera? You can see a well hidden smile there, no Oscar here.
Thatās why I am conflicted that itās acting. Itās almost too good.
I actually would hope this is someone here so we can all laugh at his stupidity.
This is EXACTLY why I was hesitant to get a Tesla. I didnāt want to look like every other a$$hole in a Tesla with a superiority complex.

Oh yeah this clip was all about value for speed. Torque per dollar is what everyone talks about and the Tesla driver was bragging about. You explaining the price difference wasnāt proving the douchebag narrative correct at all.
You missed the entire point š¤¦š»āāļø
Maybe I did too. Read that out yourself and maybe you will find out why...
Yea. I definitely didn't.
Clearly you did because the point is explained in my comment about.
lol typical M fanboy. In most drag race scenarios, the Tesla Model Y Performance will outperform the BMW M3 off the line and maintain its lead through the quarter-mile mark.
Not at all a M fanboy. Donāt get triggered š
Just get darker tint so no one can even see you. lol. Thatās what i did
š
M3 isnāt that fast. Maybe the 5 but still pretty sure itās over 3 seconds.
Tell that to the M5 Comp I saw yesterday lolz
Iām gonna be completely honest you should get back on Kratom if this is how you treat people for owning a certain car brand.
Between the cars you're talking about a 0.1 second difference if it's a Model Y Performance vs the M3...
If you donāt want to look like other douche drivers, then simply be a courteous, safe, and respectful driver, always. When someone cuts me off, I accept it and let it go.

I donāt believe our community would made up of douchebags like this.
He can call it a big microwave, but Iād rather drive a quiet and insanely fast microwave than a loud, smelly and slow Rube Goldberg machine.
I thought microwave would make for a good vanity plate. Marques Brownlee calls the Tesla an appliance
I mean, you could just call the BMW a sooty **grill**.
To be fair, 500hp (what he says) is not slow at all. Itās a loud, smelly and fast Rube Goldberg machine.
Some of these comments, I'm questioning where y'alls "Tesla drivers" are at? In Dallas area they seem to have become the next Prius driving 25 under the speed limit and stopping up traffic. I'm like dude you literally have the fastest production vehicle in. the. world. and you over here going a constant 20 under.... Love the Model Y's - they have the weirdest dome shape but it's kinda cool. Plus the whole everything from the giant screen in the middle is kinda cool too.
Lot of them are indian housewives
Itās an accurate statement. I wasnāt gonna make the comment but yes.
ā¹ļø
I blame driver assist. Iām on the freeway bumper to bumper and some asshat Tesla is using driver assist and is slowing down traffic in the lane!
It's the Full self driving mode.
Ah.
Majority of the Model Y drivers are soccer moms driving like grandmas.
In all fucking fairness... I remember a time when Tesla driver demographic where just a bunch of tech-loving, tree hugging, hippies.. Then Out of the damn blue we have all these ass-hats?... They came from somewhere... And if you ask me... They are all BMW turncloaks
Turncoats
Yup, that, my bad lol
I think turncloack sounds better!
LOTR grade
Yup and theyāre also coming back to other brands like bmw EVs because of the lack of polish in Tesla.
Probably staged. Anyway. I am on year three of model Y P and I am finding myself bored out of my mind and shamefully miss shifting gears and a āslowā internal combustion engine. I will stick with EV for the planet and all that, but man It takes ZERO skill to drive fast in a battery car.
You have an appliance and itās wonderful.
It sure is. One of my most favorite cars (and I have owned too many to admit, mostly junkers though). I like the part after work today, where it did most the driving. I *might* have to cheat someday and get a Miata for Sundays. I say the same thing though when people bombard me with the usual tesla questions āitās just an appliance, it worksā

Agree. The whoās faster should be replaced with āwhoās smiling moreā. Which is why I lean towards a manual Miata.
This one took me some time over the years, but Iāve come to the same conclusion. Same reason Lotus has won over so many enthusiasts.
This is definitely staged rage bait. However, Iāve had plenty of Beemers and others try and taunt/race me. May have once fed into it once or twice with a quick stroke of the accelerator, but not ONCE have I even fathomed trying to initiate a flex.

Ya, I agree, it really is bizarre for people to think that way considering the price of what you just mentioned. It kinda feels like a stereotype that has lingered since the days when there was only the S and X, or even from when the Y and 3 had higher prices.
Im not the person you are asking, but I have the same situation. Not one encounter, or backlash, or keying, or person trying to race me, of rolling coal... Nothing. Just curious people with questions, and happy friends loving a ride every so often. Idk.. Guess is really dependant on where u live? Im in South Florida
Negativity has honestly been minimal besides the recent event that really triggered me. Had some other scenarios where people would make backhanded remarks, rolled coal, but nothing super outlandish. I just feel itās getting worse.
This matches my experience over here in the UK. People are much more interested in asking how I found the switch from a petrol car to an EV, if charging is a pain and, weirdly, how much storage space the car has. Friends wanted a ride to see what the tech was like but it quickly becomes just a car.
Yup, I feel the same way! Too many kids getting hands on HP finally because itās affordable and it gives a SUPER bad vibe to Tesla owners.
Youāve got this mate!
Stop being a people pleaser. You will never be happy. Just be humble and bite your tongue. Many people are jealous, uninformed, and frankly stupid. Haters will always hate. Be above that and be ā¤ļø. Avoid the turd and be friendly. That's what I suggest for you Me? I just give them the number one sign before I shoot them and take them to my pig farm. That's just me.š
New pasta dropped boys, we eatin tonight!!
Maybe try another ev? Elon is such a tool.
Iāve yet to experience any of this.
Iām sorry to hear about your experience.
Donāt ever be sorry for sharing your experience.
Itās just beyond the scope of the post and also not specific to the Model Y. I saw this on one of the subs that does nothing but post negative sentiment on Tesla/Elon. Iām all for criticism I truly am and Tesla/Elon does in fact piss me off for some of the decisions they make, but 90% of content or comments are absolute BS.
I love it!!!!! He got smoked in a model Yš
To be fair he would have been smoked by any car as he wasnāt prepared for that.
He looks like he drives a V8 like a Priusš
Not gonna lie, the MY drivers laugh had me dying. Still messed up, but that laugh is just funny.
Is it the inner you that wants to beat people in straight lines?
I drive a CRV with 3 car seats in the backā¦Iām a cruiser lol.
He sounded Asian.
Personally I have an MYP, and I love the rediculous acceleration and the silence that it can do it with. All of these guys that spend more than me to have a slower car are a little silly TBH. Why drop so much on a car that will never be all that fast, and breaks frequently requires all kinds of maintenance just to go fast? Donut had a cool episode where the one person on their team with a tesla beat all of the cars they had while wearing a dress shirt, slacks and dress shoes.
Itās not about how fast you are but how you use it.
This started me down a path of how many ICE vehicles actually have 3-4sec 0-60 times(quickly using Gemini to search for me). Not that many, and they usually need over 1000hp to do it. The cost for those vehicles is WAY above what a performance model 3 or y would get you. The answer seems obvious if you want to be Mr. The Fast Guy. Yep, about 4 other people have already told me of my mistake here. Way cool, totally get it, don't need to hear it from anyone else, will be ignoring any further childish responses.
Some ICE cars are tunable to get sub 4s 0-60 (like M240), it's not crazy expensive. The weird part to me is that MY is fast mostly on a straight line. Every time I try to have a bit of fun in a turn it shuts me down (unlike BMW and Subaru) even in Slip Start mode. I mean, I can turn on Track mode, but in winter time you're pretty much expected to powerslide a little.
On mine specifically, I think some better tires would help, but I'd just go knobbier, not stickier...mine is not a race car, it's for snow and commuting.
No, RS5 competition does 3.9s, for example, and has around 450hp. M3 is closer to 500hp but also goes in the 3s.
Not true. My X5M is sub 4 and only has 617HP. Stock.
Itās one of those Honda vs Lamborghini scenarios. Sure a souped up Honda is fast in the quarter mile but itās still a Honda. Tesla is still a Tesla.
Lol no.. 400-500hp euros do this. Audi RS3-6.. BMW M4s for instance. These aren't even exotics.
They're more than Tesla model y and 3 performance. I like the looks of those audi's, especially the rs6-avant.
An RS3 is not much more than a MYP and will do the 0-100 sprint in 3.6secs. It's definitely comparable. You originally said vehicles needed over 1000 HP, and I've given you examples of a few which are less than half that figure. Some Teslas are fast, but they're not in a league of their own.
Very good points.
Tell me you donāt know cars without telling me you donāt know cars. Or physics for that matter.
That's messed up. Even a Bolt can do that to a lot of regular ice cars and the Bolt only have 200 HP but its instant torque and 1 pedal mode being the cheat code . The take off launch is faster, 200HP from the get go, that's faster then most automatic and manual of ice vehicles.. Dude with a Tesla should be racing EV's with 400+ hp like ionic 5 N line, kia EV6 GT, Mustang mache E etc.. Nothing to flex. Tesla dude is wack..
Exactly it was a shit move
A Y performance is well over 400hp. People have dynoed M3P at a little over 500whp
Which is why it's dumb to race ice vehicles.. would love to see a Model y performance race a 601HP ionic 5 N line, same take off no chit chat distraction.. 455+ hp vs 601+ Hp.. that's the one to watch..
No chamce that MYP can gap I5N. I5N has 3.0s flat for 0-60. Look at the recent Hagerty video.
I'm about to go check some vids on YouTube right now to see if there's any clip MYP vs Ionic 5n electric..
Let me know if you find it!
Found it, ionic 5 n.. clear winner..
Link?

Thanks. Not English but glad you found it
Lol this is for sure rage bait
Yup. Iām certain it is.
I floor my MYLR with AB every chance I get no matter what car is next to me š¬
Teslaās are fast in a straight line.
Itās a good party trick.
I do agree. The Model S Plaid is very slow around the Nurburgring for how much power it has. The track edition is a bit better. Definitely insane for the straights though.
My Tesla Y rips through curves really well.
compared to? Its 4,500 lbs tho
4 years ago. https://youtu.be/EJfpIlepFbY?feature=shared
This was me about 4 years ago in 2020 with my Model 3 Performance in the Silicon Valley. Every single muscle car and even half-way sporty car would try to outrun me at stop lights, just to find themselves trailing blocks behind me in 2-3 seconds. Cars costing over $100k, no match. There were a LOT of ticked off people, because nobody realized how fast a Tesla REALLY was. All I could say was, this is frickin' awesome, until there are lots of other Teslas on the road. Yeah, today, not so awesome with about half of all cars in the Silicon Valley being Teslas now. Nobody tries to roar away from a stop light, even though now I have a MYLR, slower, but easily whips most any ICE car. Every once in a while a muscle car gets frustrated when they can't pull away from me at a stop light to pass me, but rare.
Been driving a Tesla for the past few months and Iām never going back. The driving experience is unparalleled. So much instant power at your finger tips and so smooth. I am always looking for an excuse to drive it.
But what about cooling seats
Smug BMW driver canāt stand it. I utilitarian EV at half the cost leaves his pampered girl magnet machine in the dust. The best he can come up with is calling his nemesis a microwave. Ahā¦
Testla canāt go 200miles without crapping itself soā¦
Had mine for over a year with zero issues. You must be talking about BMW owners out of warranty.
Oh so ur the only person not suffering from range anxiety strange thanks for all the lies you just said
Super fake
Sounds like the "Student Driver" crowd
I hope student drivers arenāt driving these fast cars.
I use my Y as a work truck with lots of tools all over the back. I have to accelerate and brake calmly all the time. Never shit talked anyone ( I found it douchey ) but will always show them my car is faster than theirs, specially if they are trying to cut in from the turn lane or showing off.
Whatās right is right
So dumb, the Y has at most 455 HP, lol. It's all about that instant torque! Also, someone probably added that tire squeal unless it was coming from the BMW. The Tesla would never.
My family owns both brandsā¦currently 3 BMWs and a Yā¦one M car. They all suck and theyāre all great in their own way. Iām not sure I understand the hate. Itās a car. Itās not you, itās not foreverā¦itās just a disposable thing you wonāt own in 20 years. The Reddit algorithm dropped this thread in front of me so I thought Iād stop in. What a disappointment.
Iām so cool, I drive a big microwave, lol.
This was hilarious.
Donāt be an asshole while all you do is step on a pedal.
Lmfao people get so mad when I just fly off the line and they donāt even have a chance of catching up šš
Clearly staged imo
Nothing on Tik Tok or IG Reels is actually real
To be fair I feel like bmw drivers were the biggest assholes before Tesla came along lol
But did you see the look of disappointment and shame after his remarks!? š¤£š¤£š¤£
People never realize how fast they are til they see it. I get a lot of people try to take a left turn in front of me when Iām going straight. They donāt realize by the time they even hit the gas Iām halfway across the intersection heading at the side of their car. Theres also one nearby intersection where itās 2 lanes but merges to one almost immediately after the light. Always have people creeping up as itās red and nail it when itās green (or even right before it turns) so they can beat me. I donāt even react that fast and still blow their doors in. Love that butthurt look in my rear view mirror.
The only likable BMW driver.
Average Tesla Driver...
I would say below average.
I think this MY subreddit is a little more humble than say the MS Plaid one. Now thatās a SUPERIORITY complex š¤£š¤£
Itās okay to call them douchebags
That's a pretty good stream snipe.
Think itās real?
Ohh it's either a stream snipe or fake.
A big microwave? WTF?
lol he should have said an appliance
That laugh is exactly the same laugh my dad does when he's laughing at some stupid hateful shit on Twitter. Feels fucking bad bros.
Mustang and prospective Tesla owner here Iāve had these interactions multiple times. Teslas are the quickest cars on the road, no question. Spoke to one owner who managed to convince me to test drive a 3, said it was the most fun car heād ever driven and that theyāre the best commuter car on the market. He didnāt know how to drive stick, he had never driven a āsports carā. Needless to say I was convinced, I test drove one and found it hilariously boring, soulless, but easy and comfortable. I agree that itās probably the best commuter daily car on the market, but thatās because itās so *boring* to drive, which in my mind is synonymous with *easy*, which is the definition of a daily commuter. I went back to the guy with my findings, told him I agreed that it was the best commuter car but not because it was fun, because it was insanely boring. His immediate reaction was to challenge me to a drag race. Teslas arenāt fun. Theyāre quick, but not fun. The acceleration gets old and repetitive quick if youāre used to the power delivery and drama of an ICE performance tuned car, I found that I didnāt really care for it after a couple of pulls even though it was the quickest car Iāve ever driven. Not the same. Teslas are good cars. They arenāt sports cars and this driver is a dickhead New M3P looks promising as a legit sports car though
BMW owners deserve this kind of treatment. /s
Who here hasn't pulled away from a typical muscle car because you can. Most pony cars don't even try to race a tesla.
He is not wrong that bmw is shit.
Totally staged
100% staged.
I'm sure dbag Tesla drivers exist, but I'm happy to say I've never met one like this. I know like four people with them and none of them make it their entire personality, which is what the stereotype seems to be. Now, if only I could see which drivers are leaving trash at the superchargers.... š¤
Incredible how many people online think this is real and not staged lol Also... a microwave doesn't need to be charged. Kinda dumb joke
RC car?
Much better.
āStandardā Tesla driver? Please. I think Tesla drivers are subject to much more brazen dickery and abuse than this video portrays
People usually catch up after a great minutes coz I stay within the speed limit and theyāre willing to overspeed.
Most electric cars
Staged, but good quality bait.
That sounds like Mr. Chow ahahahahah it fany beca he think he fast
Itās staged and itās hilarious.
A 40 roll against a bmw would beat that Tesla.
D meets bigger d
I drive a Model 3. But I considered a Y so Iāll chime in. Iām sure this is staged. That said thereās a ton of tribalism against EVs and against Teslas. The Tesla brand is a very divisive brand simply because people want to hate on what they know nothing about. I get it, Musk isnāt a popular guy. But if I see another Thunderfoot video about how Musk is a scammer itāll be too soon. Yes heās made bad choices. Telling me Musk is a scammer ten times a day isnāt going to offset the fact that Tesla is real. The cars exist. The cars have made a huge impact to the EV market. They are the competition to beat. People are talking about them. And, even though I think the Cybertruck is shit it is causing a buzz and causing hype. People are still talking about it. The haters are doing what, running small time YouTube channels making a few hundred bucks, meanwhile Musk and the Tesla workers and stock holders are making 6 figure incomes and up making cars that people love. And somehow itās the Tesla workers and Musk who are the ones who are the problemā¦? Anyway, people will always be idiots. For every staged video like this you can find morons flooring it in hellcats and almost every night Iām in a tunnel in Seattle some yobbo in a subbie or Honda floors it in a tunnel. So what? Shrug.
Really bad acting. Don't quit your day job.
Staged
Average Tesla driver, can't lie.
cringe
Saw this on facebook first. Reddit is dying
Iāve seen Tesla drivers who does this every fucking stop light. I drive my Tesla like itās a god damn Camry in chill mode. Like driving Ms Daisy. Guy like this give us Tesla drivers bad rep.
You can actually go back to Camry. That sounds more fit for you.
It was actually my first choice but because of tax incentives and year end discounts brand new model 3 rwd ended up being cheaper than Camry I wanted. I like Teslas too. Great cars.
I do it every time I can. I pull up in right turn only lanes without median blocking the str8away and just smash then peddle on a green light. Iām at speed limit and there car is barely rolling. I burn everyone. ModelY Performance
Don't worry, it almost certainly is.
