A Tesla Model S P100D Has Just Run The Standing Quarter In 10.6 Seconds
This is a new best for a car already known for its devastating drag strip performance, with a cheeky drop in tyre pressures part of what made it possible.
We already know the Tesla Model S P100D is fast. We wholeheartedly applaud Elon Musk’s determination to make it the fastest-launching car out there. But one has just posted a 10.6-second quarter-mile… on standard tyres.
In fact, Chris at HorsepowerFreaks achieved the time in a totally standard P100D. Love or loathe electric cars, that’s astonishing. After three passes in the 10.7s, dropping the pressures to 25psi and restoring some charge at a nearby Supercharger station brought the figures down to 10.63 seconds.
The P100D has previously run quarter-mile times in the 10.8s and even the 10.7s, but this is the first recorded 10.6 – and it’s not even a high 10.6. The P100D is the undisputed king of the real-world drag strip.

But i do have to say that this is quite impressive, although lap times dont seem to be a thing with Tesla.
Electric motors = instant torque and hp
918 is faster
Is it just me or do we all just not give a crap about Tesla’s 0-60 and drag times?
beautifull car

this can hold as much as 7 people and costs 10 times cheaper. I think this is the winner
Ahem…
Thanks for reminding us that the tesla is a “performance” car for the drag strip
The only thing a Tesla can do as fast as a quarter mile is overheat
