The crew at Salvage to Salvage (S2S) is taking their show on the road. For months these guys (and gals) have been crafting a one-off creation known as the Tesla Swapped C10. This video documents the trucks maiden voyage as S2S honcho Mikey Rolls takes us on a virtual ride-along in this all-electric powerhouse. Buckle up! As you might have guessed, a build of this enormity requires many hours of custom fabrication. It will be powered by a pair of Tesla electric motors – one in the front and a second one in the rear. The rear motor is mounted Read More

This well produced video delivers in multiple ways. First, it brings us three of the most capable production sports cars of the modern era. Second, it pits them in a three-way competition and finally, it yields results in roll and dig racing action. The Tesla Model S Plaid has taken the automotive performance segment by storm. Despite being an all-electric vehicle, the Model S Plaid is possibly the most capable car ever mass produced – from a pure acceleration standpoint. This is due to the fact that the Plaid utilizes an all-wheel drivetrain powered by a trio of powerful electric Read More

This time the all-electric Tesla Plaid is taking it to the streets (of Mexico). Having proven that it is the baddest beast of a production car ever on the dragstrip, the Tesla Plaid now moves to dominate the street in roll racing action. Sure, the full-electric Plaid comes out of the hole with cat-like quickness, but can it hang with the likes of a modified Hellcat and a twin turbocharged Coyote Mustang on the roll? Let’s see. Early in the evening, the Tesla (3-people onboard) rolls out against a 1000hp Dodge Charger Hellcat sedan. Right from the jump, the Plaid Read More

Please excuse me for taking a minute to get over this all-electric sedan whipping everyone at the dragstrip – well, not everyone but you see what I’m saying. A pair of Plaid sedans are featured in this clip. Neither have undergone any form of weight reduction and both are on stock Pirelli tires. The blue Plaid draws an 800hp Camaro ZL1 for the first (roll) race. The Camaro gets the initial jump before the Tesla “swooshes” around him to take the win. The result is a top speed of 153 mph (161 mph just past the finish line) for the Read More

Who would have ever thunk it? The latest and greatest thing on the drag strip and street is an all-electric vehicle manufactured in the good old U.S. of A.? The Tesla Model S Plaid is blowing the doors off everything with the stones to line up next to it. This video gives us the opportunity to get up close as Chad Roberson takes down the (Plaid) world record during the MITM Elite gathering at the World Wide Technology Raceway in St. Louis, Missouri. The all-wheel drive Tesla Model S Plaid utilizes a trio of lithium-ion powered electric motors to manufacture Read More

On a different note, this production takes us away on a ride along in a rare McLaren P1 GTR. Oh, there are a few around out there but this particular car has been modified (using a kit from Lanzante) to make it street legal. In this case, be careful not to mistake “street legal” with “everyday driver”. This is a full-blown race car – devoid of creature comforts – and it can be brutal on the senses. Check it out. The McLaren P1 GTR is the race variant of the McLaren P1 hypercar. Only fifty-eight of them were produced and Read More

It ain’t everyday that you get to see a big gas-burning SUV take on an all-electric nightmare – on the street or anywhere else. Thanks to Brenton Brown, founder and President of Forza Tuning and Performance (Clearwater, Florida), we get to see the Forza Demonhawk (Trackhawk) run the wildly powerful Tesla Model 3 from a dig. The 2018 Jeep Trackhawk has been upgraded with a Forza Stage 4R Package and a Demon supercharger. The Demonhawk is all-wheel drive but still experiences traction issues on occasion. If the Demonhawk fails to hook up against the Tesla, it will get very ugly, Read More

Talk about apples and oranges – this drag race features a pair of competitors that are near polar opposites. One is a heavy sedan, powered by a pair of lithium-ion fed electric motors. It tips the scales at a sluggish 4,491-pounds and has four-doors. The other is a space age supercar with dihedral doors. No electric motors here, just good old gasoline powered cubic inches. Our second competitor weighs-in at just 3,582-pounds and has a mid-mounted engine. The overweight sedan is the all-new Tesla Model S Performance. It is capable of producing the equivalent of 825hp. It can also accelerate Read More
