Tesla Model S Plaid Outpaces 1,200-HP Corvette C8 in Lopsided Drag Race Showdown
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious A heavily modified Chevrolet Corvette C8 boasting a staggering 1,200 horsepower fell short in a recent series of drag strip tests against the Tesla Model S Plaid — a result that has surprised many muscle car fans. The head-to-head was orchestrated by automotive reviewer Mat Watson of Carwow, and despite the significant power advantage of the Corvette on paper, the electric sedan swept all three challenges: the standing quarter-mile, a rolling half-mile, and a braking test from 70 mph. The Corvette, fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.2-liter V8 engine sending 1,491 Nm of torque to the rear wheels, was custom-built to dominate straights. But the Tesla — powered by three electric motors producing 1,020 horsepower and 1,420 Nm of torque — leveraged its all-wheel-drive grip and instant torque delivery to devastating effect. In the quarter-mile showdown, the Model S Plaid crossed the line in 9.6 seconds, decisively beating the Corvette's 11.0-second time — a gap of over a full second, which is considered substantial in drag racing. The Tesla extended its edge in the rolling race and even won the brake test, despite weighing over 4,700 pounds due to its massive battery pack. Though the Plaid featured lightweight carbon-fiber aero inspired by Koenigsegg, it remained relatively close to stock. Meanwhile, YouTube commenters questioned whether the Corvette was genuinely making 1,200 hp, citing the performance discrepancy. Still, the results speak volumes about the continuing evolution of EV performance. Tesla's dominance in these tests suggests electric vehicles are not just competing with traditional high-performance gasoline cars — they're surpassing them. For buyers interested in raw acceleration, the Tesla Model S Plaid remains a formidable and increasingly affordable option in 2025.

GM to produce Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra at Michigan's Orion Assembly plant
General Motors announced that three of its SUVs and pickup trucks will be built at Michigan's Orion Assembly plant. In a statement on Tuesday, July 15, the automaker confirmed that production of the Cadillac Escalade, the Chevy Silverado and the GMC Sierra will begin at the plant in early 2027 "to meet continued strong customer demand." "GM is proud to call Michigan home, and these moves will further strengthen our manufacturing footprint," the company said. The announcement comes a month after GM said it would invest $4 billion into three facilities, including Orion Assembly. At the time, the automaker said the facility would "begin production of gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks," but waited a month after to name the vehicles that would be built. The $4 billion investment also includes expansion of the Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas, and Spring Hill Manufacturing in Spring Hill, Tennessee. GM says the investment will allow the automaker to produce more than 2 million vehicles annually in the U.S. "We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise," GM CEO Mary Barra said in June. "Today's (June 10) announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S and to support American jobs. We're focused on giving customers choice and offering a broad range of vehicles they love." Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer released a statement on Tuesday, saying, "GM and Michigan have a long, rich history. Today's product announcement in Lake Orion will bring production of some of GM's most popular and profitable vehicles, a sign of the long-term viability of this investment in Michigan. This is just the latest example of the progress we are making to create good-paying union auto jobs and grow the economy. The governor added, "We don't care what you drive—gas, diesel, hybrid, or electric—as long as it's made in Michigan. Together, let's keep bringing manufacturing home, growing the middle class, and making more stuff in Michigan." Note: The video above previously aired on June 11, 2025.

The good news is that the price increase coincides with a complete redesign of the automaker's beloved three-row crossover: The new Palisade is longer, lovelier, and has a completely revamped cabin. The entry-level, front-wheel-drive Palisade SE starts at $40,430 (all prices include the $1,495 destination charge) for the 2026 model year. The Palisade range tops out with the Calligraphy trim, which is also more expensive for 2026. It now starts at $55,555 for the V-6 and $57,775 for the new hybrid.
