Every Tesla Model Ranked By 0-60 MPH Performance

Tesla’s quickest current vehicle is the Model S Plaid, with a claimed 0–60 mph time of 1.99 seconds. The Cyberbeast is the fastest Cybertruck, while the Model 3 Performance is currently the quickest Tesla sedan after the Plaid.

The ranking below uses Tesla’s U.S. specifications available as of August 9, 2026. These are Tesla claims, not independent test results. Several figures use Tesla’s “rollout subtracted” method, so a magazine’s instrumented test may show a slower time.

Every currently listed Tesla ranked by 0–60 mph

The vehicles are ordered from quickest to slowest using Tesla’s published acceleration figures. Ties share the same position.

What the ranking says about each Tesla

Model S Plaid: 1.99 seconds

The Model S Plaid remains Tesla’s quickest documented production vehicle. Its tri-motor AWD system gives it a claimed 1.99-second sprint to 60 mph, although Tesla specifies that number with rollout subtracted. It is also the only current Tesla in this list with a published claim below two seconds.

Model X Plaid: 2.5 seconds

The Model X Plaid delivers supercar acceleration from a large SUV. Its claimed 2.5-second time is only half a second behind the Model S Plaid, despite the Model X’s taller, heavier body and three-row practicality.

Cybertruck Cyberbeast: 2.6 seconds

The tri-motor Cyberbeast is Tesla’s quickest pickup. Its 2.6-second claim places it just behind the Model X Plaid and ahead of every Model 3 and Model Y except the Model Y Performance is not ahead—it is slower at 3.3 seconds. Like several headline Tesla figures, the Cyberbeast number uses rollout subtraction.

Model 3 Performance: 2.9 seconds

The Model 3 Performance is the quickest of Tesla’s smaller, more affordable cars. Dual-motor AWD and the Performance setup make it substantially faster than the regular Model 3 variants, with a claimed 2.9-second 0–60 mph time.

Model S and Model Y Performance

The non-Plaid Model S is listed at 3.1 seconds, while the Model Y Performance manages 3.3 seconds. That makes the Model Y Performance quicker than the larger Model X and every non-Plaid Cybertruck configuration, though Tesla lists the Model S as the faster car.

Model X, Cybertruck and the midrange trims

The standard Model X is rated at 3.8 seconds. Both listed non-Cyberbeast Cybertruck versions—the Premium AWD and Dual Motor AWD—are tied at 4.1 seconds. The Model 3 Premium AWD follows at 4.2 seconds, and the longer-wheelbase Model Y L Premium is listed at 4.4 seconds.

The two Model Y AWD configurations are tied at 4.6 seconds. From there, rear-wheel-drive versions form the slower end of the range: the Model 3 Premium RWD takes 4.9 seconds, the Model Y Premium RWD takes 5.4 seconds, and the Model 3 Standard RWD takes 5.8 seconds. The Model Y Standard RWD is last at 6.8 seconds.

Future and historical Tesla Roadsters

Second-generation Roadster: claimed 1.9 seconds

Tesla’s current Roadster page claims a 0–60 mph time of 1.9 seconds. However, the car is presented as a reservation/future vehicle rather than a currently delivered production model. It should not be ranked alongside the vehicles above.

If Tesla eventually delivers the Roadster at that specification, its claimed figure would beat the Model S Plaid. Until then, the Model S Plaid is the quickest currently documented production Tesla.

Original Roadster Sport: 3.7 seconds

The discontinued first-generation Roadster Sport was claimed to reach 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. That puts its original Tesla figure ahead of the current Model X, but the comparison is historical: the two cars were developed and measured in different eras.

Original Roadster: 3.9 seconds

The standard original Roadster was claimed at 3.9 seconds to 60 mph. It is also discontinued and should be treated separately from current Tesla specifications.

Why your Tesla may not match Tesla’s number

A claimed 0–60 time is a useful way to compare trims, but it is not a guarantee that every owner will reproduce the result. The biggest variables are:

• Rollout: Tesla’s headline figures for the Model S Plaid, Model X Plaid, Cyberbeast and Model 3 Performance subtract the initial movement of the car. A timer that starts as soon as the vehicle moves will normally record a slower result.
• Battery temperature: A cold battery cannot immediately provide its maximum output. Tesla’s performance modes may heat or cool the battery, but preparation takes time.
• State of charge: Low charge can reduce available power, particularly during repeated acceleration runs.
• Surface and tires: AWD helps traction, but pavement quality, tire temperature, tire type and pressure still matter. Wet or dusty pavement can add considerable time.
• Software and settings: Acceleration mode can limit the car’s response. On applicable Model 3 vehicles, the path is Controls > Dynamics > Acceleration, where Chill, Standard and Insane may be available. Insane provides the maximum immediately available acceleration on Performance vehicles.

How Tesla launches the quickest cars

For the Model S Plaid, Tesla’s owner guidance uses Drag Strip Mode. The relevant menu path is Controls > Pedals & Steering > Drag Strip Mode. The driver waits for the vehicle to indicate that it is ready, holds the brake, fully presses the accelerator, and then releases the brake.

That procedure conditions the battery and drivetrain for a maximum-effort launch. It is intended for a suitable controlled environment, not public roads. Repeated launches can also increase heat and reduce performance on subsequent runs.

Fastest Tesla by category

FAQ

What is the fastest Tesla from 0 to 60 mph?

The Model S Plaid is the fastest currently documented production Tesla, with Tesla claiming 1.99 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. Tesla specifies that figure with rollout subtracted.

Is the Tesla Roadster faster than the Model S Plaid?

Tesla claims that the future second-generation Roadster will reach 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, which is quicker than the Model S Plaid’s 1.99-second claim. The Roadster is not currently a delivered production vehicle, so it should be treated as a future model.

Which Tesla Cybertruck is fastest?

The Cybertruck Cyberbeast is fastest, with a claimed 2.6-second 0–60 mph time. The Premium AWD and Dual Motor AWD versions are both listed at 4.1 seconds.

Why can independent Tesla tests be slower than Tesla’s 0–60 figures?

Some Tesla figures subtract rollout, meaning the timer does not count the car’s initial movement. Battery temperature, charge level, tires, pavement, weather, software settings and launch preparation can also affect the result.

The Bottom Line

The Model S Plaid is the quickest currently documented production Tesla at 1.99 seconds to 60 mph, followed by the Model X Plaid and Cybertruck Cyberbeast. The future Roadster has a faster 1.9-second claim, but it belongs in a separate category until the car is actually delivered. Treat every figure as a manufacturer claim: rollout, battery condition and launch procedure can make real-world times slower.
