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!

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

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

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.😊

Huge power difference but the Tesla still did well. That Kia is fast!

I looked at buying the EV6 GT and ending up going with the EV6 GT-Line AWD. Reason being was range and comfort. The EV6 Gt-Line is plenty fast at 0-60 in a little over 4 seconds and it has much more comfortable seats that are not manually adjusted like the GT and it gets about 275 mile in range and looks just as good and is very comfortable to drive.
