How Fast is the Tesla Roadster?

Pretty fast. The Tesla Roadster is the hottest new EV on the market. The company has had some troubles lately, including executive turnovers and cash flow problems, but a recent procurement of capital should help keep the company afloat and those Tesla’s rolling out of the factory.

We already know that the latest drivetrain revision lets the EV Roadster go 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, but what about a quarter-mile run? One of the lucky few who already owns a Tesla Roadster recently ran the all electric vehicle at the Infineon raceway in California.

The verdict: even with an R/T of .764 the Roadster still ran the quarter-mile in 12.7 seconds. This is one quick EV! Hit the jump to see the time slip.
