How we verify Tesla Model Y 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 Y trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

The quickest Tesla Model Y on record is the 2020 Tesla Model Y Dual Motor Performance (21" Wheels), which runs 0–60 mph in 3.4 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 11.80 seconds at 115.6 mph.

Averaged across all 12 verified runs, a Tesla Model Y reaches 60 mph in 4.17 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 12.52 seconds at roughly 116.0 mph.
We have verified test data for 5 model years. 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, Edmunds, Motor Trend and Motor Week. 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.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Tesla Model Y can do, not a single marketing claim.
