The only difference is that when it comes to repairing the clutch on the jeep, you can just go get a coffee with your Tesla because it doesn't have one. I bet that the Tesla just needs a lower gear to win that competition. The jeep wins because it's very light and has a low gear.

Repairing a clutch in a jeep like that isn't a big deal. Those things were actually designed to be repaired in the field easily.

If the tesla wants a lower gear won't it need a transmission first?
