How we verify Tesla Model X performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Tesla Model X trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Averaged across all 3 verified runs, a Tesla Model X reaches 60 mph in 4.00 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 12.53 seconds at roughly 110.9 mph.
We have verified test data for 1 model year. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver and Motor Trend. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.
