It continues to rocket forward in a very quiet android-like manner until it covers 1,320 feet (402 m) from where it started and the timer stops dead at 9.83 seconds. When that moment comes, the Model X Plaid is blitzing down the street at 146 mph (234 kph) and that’s just about where the video ends. Regardless of the questionable legality of this test, and assuming everything we’re seeing is completely legitimate, there’s little doubt about which super-SUV is the quickest off the line on sale right now.
Aston Martin, for instance, hasn’t released any info on exactly how fast the DBX707 is down the same distance but we can infer that it’s likely no faster than the Lamborghini Urus since the big bull is already out ahead after 60mph. With that said, the Lamborghini eclipses the 1/4-mile in 11.3 seconds at 121 mph (194 kph). The Model X Plaid was 3-hundredths of a second away from being a full 1.5-seconds faster than the Italian model in second place.
That’s the kind of crazy speed we’re talking about here and anyone can just go buy a Model X Plaid and drive five other people around in it like it’s a Kia Sedona. Tesla has a lot of stuff they need to get figured out but going fast in a straight line is not one of those problems.
