MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 vs Tesla Model S Plaid

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Tesla Model S Plaid is the quicker car, covering it in 9.57 s at 145.9 mph against the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136’s 15.52 s — a margin of 5.95 s. To 60 mph the Tesla Model S Plaid takes 2.04 s and the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 7.01 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 or the Tesla Model S Plaid faster?
The Tesla Model S Plaid. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 9.57 s to the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136's 15.52 s, a margin of 5.95 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.04 s against 7.01 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 0-60 time?
The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 reaches 60 mph in 7.01 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.52 s at 89.8 mph.
What is the Tesla Model S Plaid 0-60 time?
The Tesla Model S Plaid reaches 60 mph in 2.04 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 9.57 s at 145.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 trips the lights at 89.8 mph and the Tesla Model S Plaid at 145.9 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 and 11 of 11 for the Tesla Model S Plaid. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
