The Model 3 emerges victorious, showcasing its speed and affordability over its rival. But hold on to your seats, because a new contender enters the ring - the Highland Model 3 Performance, ready to take on the mighty Ionic 5n with its impressive 641 horsepower.

The Ionic 5n, packed with cutting-edge technology for both track performance and drag racing, offers a unique power boost feature that adds an extra kick to its already impressive horsepower.

The hosts delve into range and charging capabilities, highlighting the Tesla's advantage in quick charging thanks to its innovative 800-volt architecture. As the final race concludes, the Tesla secures its reign as the drag racing champion, but the Ionic 5n surprises with a unique feature that simulates engine sounds, adding a touch of flair to the electric showdown.
