The top of the line Model 3 is one of the quickest cars on the road, regardless of powertrain. For us, it's always amazing that with electric cars you can combine superb acceleration 0-100 km/h with a high top speed (maybe not the highest, but higher than needed).

Even quicker results were noted with the Tesla Model S P100DL:

• 0-96 km/h (60 mph): 2.9 seconds
• 0-100 km/h (62 mph): 3.0 seconds
• 0-160 km/h (100 mph): 6.8 seconds
• 0-200 km/h (125 mph): 11.2 seconds
• 0-250 km/h (155 mph): 24.5 seconds

...and Tesla Model X P90DL:

• 0-96 km/h (60 mph): 3.3 seconds
• 0-100 km/h (62 mph): 3.4 seconds
• 0-160 km/h (100 mph): 7.6 seconds
• 0-200 km/h (125 mph): 11.9 seconds
• 0-250 km/h (155 mph): 26.0 seconds
