The 1,020-horsepower Tesla Model X Plaid is the world’s quickest and most powerful production SUV, and the cool thing about it is it’s also a six-seat family car that can do family car stuff every day of the week when the owner is not drag racing supercars.<\/p>\n

Speaking of drag racing, DragTimes<\/em> recently tested a Model X Plaid at the Palm Beach International Raceway with the goal of setting a new quarter-mile record for a production SUV.<\/p>\n

Before taking it to the drag strip, the owner tested his Model X Plaid on the street and managed to set a quarter-mile time of 9.8 seconds<\/a>, so the expectations were that the electric SUV would do shave at least one tenth of a second off that time on the sticky surface of the drag strip.<\/p>\n

In the very first run, DragTimes<\/em>‘ Brooks Weisblat managed to hit 9.75 seconds at 144.88 mph (0.15 seconds below Tesla’s claimed quarter-mile time), with the VBOX also showing a 0-60 mph time of 2.3 seconds\u2014undercutting the official 0-60 time by 0.2 seconds.<\/p>\n

Even more mind-boggling is the 60-130 mph time of 5.26 seconds, which is similar to what a McLaren 720S supercar can achieve on a good day.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, during the second and third runs, the track’s timing system did not work, so Brooks will have to return another time to attempt an even quicker quarter-mile run\u2014he reckons the Model X Plaid feels like a 9.5-second car.<\/p>\n

For those of you who want more numbers from that first run, the Model X covered the 1\/8 mile in 6.43 seconds at 115.82 mph and went from 110 mph to 150 mph in just 5.35 seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For our European readers, the Model X Plaid<\/a> went from 0 to 100 km\/h in 2.73 seconds, 100-200 km\/h in 4.53 seconds, and 0-200 km\/h in 7.27 seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
