# Watch This Ludicrous Plus Tesla Model S P100D Set a World Record

Just this weekend,[ a Tesla Model S P100D set a quarter-mile world record](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chvcqgipom0>) for the fastest stock four-door sedan, according to the Internet video racing masters at DragTimes. With the recently revealed Ludicrous Plus upgrade, this stock example was able to cross the quarter mile mark a brisk 10.72 seconds after it launched.

The [video, recorded by YouTube channel DragTimes](<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWeLPNowZvdzXwnCDxVyNEg>), points out that three P100Ds went to drag strip that night, ready to eviscerate its opponents, but it was only one that got in the 10.7-second range. Of course, that's an enormous feat—Teslas aren't even designed to be drag strip monsters, but they, time and again, perform beautifully in that arena—though it still comes a little shy of [Tesla CEO Elon Musk's performance claims on Twitter](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/798980894543343616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>). That said, the host of DragTimes mentioned he got his car to hit 60 mph from a standstill in just 2.4 seconds, which is right in line with Musk's bold claims.

With its instant torque and impressive off-the-line all-wheel drive grip, Teslas truly do make the case that gear-heads don't have anything to worry about when it comes to achieving speed in the electrified future.
