The three-row EV makes it possible, even though it is a steep climb.
This article begins with a question for you, Motor1.com viewer. Are you able to distinguish between fast and slow? This is a valid question, as some people view them as the same. Your author and others also understand that fast is the ultimate speed while slow describes how long it takes to get there.
This is a remarkable feat in the world Tesla because electric cars are known for their speed. This TopSpeedGermany video shows the Model X accelerating to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. It is faster than most hypercars on the planet. This is a great speed for a large SUV that can hold six people. However, does this acceleration lead to an incredibly fast top speed?
The video shows the Model X sprinting down a section of German unrestricted autobahn. It can be seen that it doesn’t waste time going past 100 mph (161 km/h). It can’t keep up with the aforementioned Model X. BMW M6 You can also accelerate down the highway. It would be different if you launched from a stop, but at speed the EV’s instant torque advantage is lost. After the Bimmer cools down, the Model X driver keeps the pedal on the accelerator. The speed slowly increases to 140 mph (225 km/h), and then it drops just inches. The Model X eventually reaches 250 km/h after a short downhill section, which translates into 155 mph.
It’s not slow, but it is a great example of how fast and slow are not the same thing. The McLaren is one of many hypercars that can reach 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and go beyond 200 mph. The Lamborghini Urus, which is a little slower than 60 mph, tops out at around 190 mph.
This video may be because Tesla’s lineup is so familiar with accelerating fast cars at high speeds and causing them to look ridiculous. Although it’s not as impressive at the top end of the performance spectrum silently cruising at around 155 mph is definitely cool.
