Hi Aris,
I understand that you are trying to increase the simulation pace to prototype a CAN protocol before implementing it on your robot. I assume that you are doing this by setting the simulation pace using the Simulation tab and selecting Run > Simulation Pacing.
In simulink the model runs extremelly fast, that is, 1e6 tiimes faster than clock time. Setting the simulation pace to 1000 times means that it slows down the simulation and not actually make it faster. It is still faster than a second in real-time.
In this case, it is not possible to make a model run faster just for prototyping as this is dependant on other factors like the model simplicity, solver settings, parallel computation and cannot be achieved simply by setting the simulation pace of the model.
Simulink provides infrastrucure for effectively prototyping both hard and soft real time applications which you may refer to:

- Simulink Desktop Real-time, refer to the following link for more information: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2022a/sldrt/getting-started-with-real-time-windows-target.html
Please refer to the following example that shows how to run a CAN Communication Simulink model in Simulink Desktop Real-Time:
