Honestly surprised this style of race/test hasn't become more popular. Wish y'all could do them more often.

Both of those cars are fantastic. Glad to see Tesla getting some competition.

You guys should do this test more often. It's a great way to compare performance relatively easily. Would love to see the EV6 gobble up more competition

The EV6 GT and the Model Y Performance dressed up in red and put on quite a show, offering speed and performance you wouldn't expect from an SUV. What do you think we should race them against next? Let us know in the comments below!

That Kia is a beast and I have a model Y long range that feels fast. Nice match up!

For anyone watching. This old airfield they're using is called NALF Crowslanding. I was once stationed there in 1988.😊
