Tesla Model S P85

The Tesla Model S P85 reaches 60 mph in 4.32 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.91 s, tripping the lights at 108.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 s and the eighth mile in 8.33 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.97 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 P85

The 2012 Tesla Model S P85 is a rear-drive electric car of 2,112 kg with 416 bhp, which works out at 197 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 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 108.0 mph. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 983rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 8th quickest of the 13 Teslas here. Its 108.0 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.

12.91 s at 108.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.33 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 s.
How much power does the Tesla Model S P85 have?
416 bhp and 2,112 kg, which is 197 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, electric, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Tesla Model S P85?
Closest here on pace: Range Rover P530 L460 (4.34 s), BMW X3 M40i G01 (4.36 s), Kia EV9 GT (4.29 s). Each one can be raced against the Tesla Model S P85 in the panel at the top of this page.
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 P85 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.
