Tesla Model S Plaid vs Zeekr 001 FR | Are Chinese EVs Getting Faster?

The Tesla Model S Plaid is the fastest Tesla ever built.
It can reach a top speed of 321kph [200mph] and accelerate 0-100kph in 2.1sec [0-60mph in 1.99sec], claimed by Tesla.

Zeekr is a Chiese car manufactured that came out of nowhere [established in 2021], and the 001FR is one of its first sports-performing models with 4 motors [1 for each wheel], with a top speed of 280kph [174mph] and acceleration 0-100kph in 2.07sec [0-60mph in 1.98sec] claimed by the manufacturer.

Find out if the Tesla can beat the Zeekr in a quarter-mile race.

1. Tesla need to warm up it's battery to win, while Zeeker doesn't need to warm up it's battery to win this biased race.
2. They called the Tesla 'we' instead of just Tesla to show how ridiculously biased this drag race is.
3. They keep making fun of the Zeeker.

[majaesty]

A bit disappointing, as you intentionally made fun of zeekr by charging chinese language inside Zeekr. Why didnt you even check how to launch?
and you keep saying tesla as 'We'. Are you employed by tesla? get salary? I dont think so.

However, Model S was a huge success and the competition was interesting. I hope the US keep working for competition, not hiding behind the tariffs.

West is always biased for Tesla against Chinese EVs. But anyways Chinese have gone ahead in this race !!

[stevenlslsteven]

It made the plaid look slow with 2.5+ tonne. Chinese car getting unstoppable

[jmhventure]

Why so fake... It really looks like advertising gimmick for Tesla

[keithwillis]

The battery for both cars should be at similar temperature, to make it more objective of a test.

[billjobs]

I tried both car, zeekr is much much luxurious inside. Its comparable to Benz GLe at least

[kings_chronicle]

And clearly these youtube channels are all about tesla

[Penguinsarecool-uwri]

Is Elon musk paying yall for this Tesla advertisement?

[maxym_de]

Zeekr just goes, Tesla needs preconditioning done with third party gadget. Zeekr is a true winner here.

[ciybersal]

This is a Tesla gadget channel I don't expect it to be fair. Seems Biased, you wanted Tesla to win you stated "for the community", no temperature check on Zeekr n why would someone wait for Tesla to reach optimum temperature. Also since you mention you don't know Chinese can't be sure you selected the quickest mode in Zeekr. Also last race zeekr 0-100 in 2.45 doesn't make sense, should be 2.07 but i do expect Tesla gadget channel to be biased.

Zeker is undoubtedly the best, and Chinese cars are gradually rising to the top.

[polysporin]

Zeeker is a quarter the price. so it already won.

[joshuajorgensen]

Strange that you didn't mention anything about the zeekr battery temp. That's biased in favour of the tesla. Both cars were in equal condition in the first drag and the zeekr won. That's the true result.

It’s a BS drag test. The Zeeker driver even doesn’t know his car. His job is to push accelerator. When S-plane lost the first round, the battery temperature became a point, this means S-Plade has its know weak point while NO ONE IN THE RACE Know how to set best performance of Zeeker. That the BS part! Because it raced between one car set for best performance while No Knowledge about its rival.

It’s handy cap races regardless who win, it’s meaningless.

"Hey guy you want to drag race that Tesla?"

"Ya just give me 30 minutes to warm up my battery."

The interior of the zeekr is more expensive than that of Tesla

[whatever]

Zeekr 001FR has a 'Raikkonen' drive mode. You have to pay extra to get that. Not sure if this car has it. This mode is developed with F1 champion Kimi Raikkonen. Also, the true advantage of Zeekr 001FR is it's corning speed. There are videos on Youtube of testing these two cars by Chinese car media. On straight line, they were close. But running on track, Zeekr was much faster.

[LearningFast]

Lucid Sapphire is quicker than the Plaid. However, it is really expensive.

[JW-bxsu]

The driver of Zeekr drives this car the first time and he can beat Tesla Plaid. Conclusion can be made already.
