I fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar. Tires spitting gravel I commit my weekly crime.

They show 12.6 seconds on the Tesla information for the Performance model. Top speed of 130 though, so that's why the Viper was starting to catch up at the end.

This is from an article as well, which is addressing the run taken in the video:

After a day of runs punctuated by a trip or two to the charging station, the Tesla's fastest reported pass was 12.371 seconds at 110.84 mph. While that might not turn many heads in the drag racing community, it was enough to set a record -- certified by the National Electric Drag Racing Association -- for the quickest quarter-mile run by a production electric vehicle.

That is so awesome. I saw one at a gas station locally, he was there for the car wash. LOL

Proof that any car can be beaten if it has a poor enough driver.
