I watched another video where they race an 1/8th mile on a 1/4 mile track, but from back to front (to better simulate street racing). He is basically an 1/8th mile car because those nitrous racecars real him right in once they hook up.

I've also seen a LOT of videos of full 1/4 mile races being won by a 4-door electric sedan on all season tires that weighs over 5,000lbs and makes no noise or pollution against high hp track-only vehicles. It's all situational and of course there are examples of either side winning either situation but the bottom line is that these Tesla cars are fast by any measurement. Considering where EVs were less than 10 years ago I'd say this is an overall win for the EV industry when it comes to showing they can be considered in the same breath as ICE cars.
