For me, who cares?
0-60 isn't the mark of performance for me, put it on track and see how it does, 0-60 won't help them there! How are the brakes? Tires? Grip levels? Bring it on!!! No use for appliances, even if they are fast, in a straight line.

In answer, next will be start button to 60 in 2 milliseconds! Just push GO! LOL!!!!

Looks like it will be a great car...but I can think of at least 10 others that I'd rather have that cost far less than $200k.

It's just hype. The production version will be nothing capable of these claims, if it even happens.

Id rather listen to a hotrod trying to get to 60, in whatever time it takes.

Borla will probably make a sound generator for it like the do Mach-E, if Tesla doesn't have one on it already.

They make a valid point about the lack of input from sound and feel that an ev lacks and theoretically, this could help but…
Let’s talk about the shear enjoyment of an engine making the sound, with the help of proper exhaust, and for feel, the rowing of gears, leaving the line. No ev is ever going to touch that.

Fair, but that is a rare EV, Tesla's vaunted PLAID was terrible, and had issues trying to run a few laps. See if Tesla does better this time......

Still not interested anyway though!
