A man has been accused of driving more than 100km/hr over the speed limit and crashing into a house west of Brisbane.

Police said a 32-year-old man reached speeds of up to 150km/hr in a 50km zone in a Tesla before coming off the road at Ipswich.

The car crashed into the front room of a house at Sadliers Crossing before "coming to land nearby".

The driver and a 29-year-old male passenger received non-life threatening injuries, police said.

"Even momentary recklessness can have catastrophic and life changing outcomes," Ipswich District Acting Superintendent Jim Munckton said.

"Every kilometre over the limit, you are putting yourself and others at risk."

The 32-year-old man has been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing grievous bodily harm and driving over the general alcohol limit.

He is set to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on January 12.
