Tesla’s vehicles take up four spots on Kelley Blue Book’s top 10 fastest EVs list, with the Model S Plaid being ranked second only to the 2023 Lucid Air Sapphire. Other notable names on the list include vehicles from Lucid Motors, Audi, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, though none have as many contributions to the rankings as Tesla.
While the Model S Plaid and the Lucid Air Sapphire have comparable top speeds and 0-60 speeds, the Model S Plaid is also priced at less than half of the Air Sapphire, starting at $104,990. Tesla’s Model S Plaid has 1,020 horsepower, while the Air Sapphire comes with 1,200 hp.
Just behind the Tesla Model S Plaid and the Lucid Air Sapphire are the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance and the Tesla Model X Plaid, respectively. The Model X represents the fastest SUV on the list, with a 0-60 of 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 163 mph — ranking just behind the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance trim.
The Tesla Model 3 Performance landed in fifth, while the Tesla Model Y Performance landed in ninth, also representing the two most affordable EVs on the list and the only two under $100,000.
