EV leaderboard

Where 3.5 s sits

At 3.5 s the Tesla Model Y Performance is seriously quick (3.0 to 4.5 s). 22 of the 70 vehicles in the database are quicker and 46 are slower, so it beats 66% of the field. Among EV models it ranks #11 of 15, in a category that runs from 1.9 s (Lucid Air Sapphire) to 4.8 s (Tesla Model Y Long Range), with 10 EV models ahead of it.

The dataset does not retain a source URL or rollout method for every entry. Treat the 3.5 s figure as a reference, and verify a matching model year, trim and test method before making a close comparison. To estimate quarter-mile elapsed time and trap speed from power and weight, use the quarter mile calculator; and before fitting bigger wheels, check the tire size comparison, because a larger tire diameter lengthens the effective gearing and blunts the launch.
