Tesla Model S P100D

The Tesla Model S P100D reaches 60 mph in 2.82 s (100 km/h in 2.99 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.18 s, tripping the lights at 121.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.62 s and the eighth mile in 7.10 s, reaching 100 mph in 7.39 s.

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

About the Model S P100D

The 2016 Tesla Model S P100D is an all-wheel-drive electric car of 2,219 kg with 680 bhp, which works out at 306 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 1.62 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 121.3 mph. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 200th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 2nd quickest of the 17 Teslas here. Its 121.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Tesla Model S P100D 0-60 time?
The Tesla Model S P100D reaches 60 mph in 2.82 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 200th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Tesla Model S P100D quarter mile time?
11.18 s at 121.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.10 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.62 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Tesla Model S P100D have?
680 bhp and 2,219 kg, which is 306 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, electric, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 262 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Tesla Model S P100D?
Closest here on pace: Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid Mk II (2.88 s), Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo GTS facelift (2.86 s), Porsche Taycan GTS Facelift (2.75 s). Each one can be raced against the Tesla Model S P100D in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Tesla Model S P100D is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
