That's pretty incredible by most measures, but the Plaid makes even a V10 Lambo look lame.įor fun, we also looked at longitudinal acceleration force (measured in g), which may help paint a better picture than quoting a time. The 2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo is the most comparable car we've tested recently, and it achieved a 0-60 mph time of 2.8 seconds, passing the quarter mile in 10.8 seconds at 127.6 mph. While the Tesla Model S Plaid isn't a sub-2-second car by Edmunds standards, it's still the quickest car we've tested to date. So how does it compare against an Italian supercar? At Edmunds, we don't use rollout in any of our reported 0-60-mph times, for good reasons that you can read about here. It's important to note that Tesla factored rollout into its claimed sub-2-second 0-60 time (along with a specially prepared track surface).

Had we factored the Plaid's 0.24-second rollout time into its final numbers, as some like to do, we'd report 2.1 seconds to 60 mph.

The official results? We hit 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and passed the quarter mile in just 9.4 seconds at a preposterous 150.8 mph. The combination of sensations made our single-lane acceleration track feel very narrow and very short, very quickly. When you see the message 'Cheetah stance enabled, ready to launch' on the screen, removing your foot from the brake catapults you with blurry-eyed force as the steering gets light and a bit squirrely.
