Cybertruck 0-60 and quarter mile
Car and Driver timed the Cybertruck AWD at 3.9 seconds to 60 mph and 12.4 seconds at 111 mph in the quarter mile, and the Cyberbeast at 2.6 and 11.0 at 119 mph. Below are their numbers, our simulated run of each car, and what the popular mods would do to it.

What each mod does
Our simulation of the Cybertruck AWD on the street, one mod at a time and then all of them together. The stock run is 3.89 seconds to 60 and 12.42 in the quarter mile, next to the published 3.9 and 12.4.
| Mod | What it changes | 0-60 mph | Quarter mile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock | – | 3.89 s | 12.42 s @ 111.1 mph |
| Track tires | +7% grip | 3.89 s | 12.42 s @ 111.2 mph |
| Drag radials | +30% grip at launch | 3.88 s | 12.41 s @ 111.3 mph |
- Track tires
- Street-legal track tires (treadwear about 100 to 200) grip roughly 6 to 18% more than a treadwear-300 performance tire, by one treadwear-based estimate; we use 7%. Biggest gain on cars that spin their tires at launch. Tire friction coefficient by treadwear rating (street tire on dry asphalt about 1.0)
- Drag radials
- Soft, street-legal drag tires, at their best on a prepped strip. On one, a rear-drive Charger Hellcat Redeye went from 11.54 to 10.91 seconds on them. All-wheel-drive cars and EVs already grip well, so they gain less.

Questions
How fast is the Cybertruck from 0 to 60?
Car and Driver timed the Cybertruck AWD at 3.9 seconds and the Cyberbeast at 2.6 seconds, with the first foot of rollout left out. To 100 mph: 9.6 seconds for the Cybertruck AWD and 6.9 seconds for the Cyberbeast.
What is the Cybertruck’s quarter-mile time?
12.4 seconds at 111 mph for the Cybertruck AWD and 11.0 seconds at 119 mph for the Cyberbeast, on the street in Car and Driver’s tests. On a prepped drag strip our simulation barely changes the Cybertruck AWD: grip isn’t what holds it back.
Can you make a Cybertruck quicker?
Not by much. In our simulation, stickier tires barely change the Cybertruck AWD’s 0-60: it runs out of power before it runs out of grip.
Is the Cybertruck quicker than a Model Y Performance?
In Car and Driver’s tests the Cybertruck AWD ran 3.9 seconds to 60 and 12.4 in the quarter mile, slower than the Model Y Performance’s 3.3 and 11.5; the Cyberbeast, at 2.6 and 11.0, is quicker. Race them side by side in 3D on the drag strip.
