Top Speed

[Jimt29]

What is the fastest (top speed) anyone has got the Model Y up to?

I personally reached an all time high of 65 miles per hour.

I had a Lexus LC500 on the same stretch of route 95 and when I took a peek at the speedometer I was doing 101.

Cruising at 101 or that's as much as you could push it? LC500 should def be able to go much faster. I've gone over 100 in my lifted FJ, but it gets pretty hairy over 90 lol.

Accelerated to pull onto an interstate, noticed I wasn't catching up to car in front of me despite going 'fast' so accelerate to catch up to him and holy s#!X was going 119... the car felt squat and stable, the speedometer reading totally shocked me. This, and the fact that there are no 'engine revs' to warn me, is going to get me a ticket!

Need to rent a model 3 next trip to Germany Though at Autobahn speeds the battery is surely going to run out very fast.

With the Y I think I briefly reached just over 100. I would not advise doing that in California...

BTW: I used to live a few miles from the German border a long time ago. No problems in driving fast in Germany as drivers are extremely disciplined and expect others to drive very fast.

When passing on a 65mph two lane road, I found my speed was 97mph as I returned to the lane. Now, where's that car was I passing? Oh yeah, way back there.

Passed several cars on the interstate the other day and was still accelerating at 120. Very smooth. I wonder what the range penalty is at120.

Paraphrasing a wise maxim, "if you have to ask, you can't afford it."

Here's some advice concerning rock damage from vehicles in front of you: If the debris is thrown up from the road it's not their fault. If the debris falls off of the vehicle then they are responsible for any damage. Check it out in your state to confirm.

I didn't care who's fault it was....I didn't want rock damage so I passed.


then autopilot yelled at me

Yes. lesson learnt, disable autopilot before flooring it. I was locked out of AP immediately.

I think I'm going to end up getting my 1st speeding ticket with this car passing people if Im not careful, lol. My last car was a 2018 volt, and while it was respectable off the line, it lost its pep pretty quick and passing took a little more time. I've hit 100 a few times now passing people in my LR Y not even realizing it. It happens so quickly and smoothly that you don't notice until you look at the speedo. I keep joking that I'm going to have to turn on the speed limiter for myself if I keep it up.

No joke! I've considered this, as well a drive in chill mode.

139 on a remote stretch, a little too easy, car felt great

146 in the middle of nowhere Nevada. Takes a lot of road.

On a lonely stretch of road south of Washtucna, Washington, I reached 130. I've never been in a car at that speed before, much less driven.

Just in case this forum is ever accessed by law enforcement or an investigator: my top speed has been 65 mph.

Top speeds are always performed in Mexico, for law enforcement purposes.

Actually you DON'T want to get a speeding ticket in Mexico! El soborno grande!

119 mph on I-287 in NJ, all because of the guy in JEEP SRT trying to pass me and looking at me. I don't like when people look at me! Makes me go fast.
