Thanks to the federal tax credit to electric vehicles, the Kandi K27 is currently the cheapest car for sale in the US. That wrecks any excuse for not buying an EV due to price: it is actually the best reason for doing so. But how does the Kandi K27 fare against a Tesla Model 3 Performance in drag racing? That’s what Out Of Spec Reviews decided to check.

Kyle Conner begs everyone not to comment on how silly and predictable this could be because he is pretty aware of that but not sure about some of the situations the K27 may face in its American career. Drag racing against a Model 3 Performance in Chill mode, for example. Would the small EV be able to stand against the Tesla?

There’s another situation Conner wanted to be sure about: reverse drag racing. How fast can the Kandi K27 go while reversing? What about the Model 3 Performance?

As you may imagine, the tests were made pretty much for fun, and you get how fun it must have been in the video. This David and Goliath war did not present the biblical result in the main battle, but what about the other ones?

To preserve the same spirit that created this video, we will not tell you about them. It is more entertaining to check the video results – watching as the tests develop – than to read what happened.
