I'm pretty sure Tesla's 0 - 60 times are using the 1 foot rollout method. So not sure it will actually do a true 0 - 60 in under 2 seconds.

Still stupid fast anyways. 9.2 second 1/4 mile. Dang. Wish it had a bit more look to separate it from a lesser model S.

Any ideas when they are going to refresh the look completely. Nice looking car still, but has been around for a long while.

True, but with electric insta-torque AWD it makes a lot less of a difference than any ICE vehicle.

I’ve challenged every Tesla I’ve come across to a race. New York to Chicago and back. Go!

I still hate the ugly things. I’ll hold onto ICE as long as I can.

All go and no show. A very impressive transportation appliance. Should go over well with the gadget and pocket protector crowd. I'll pass since I prefer something that will help me INCREASE my carbon footprint and does so at an obnoxious decibel level.

It's impressive but they need to update that 10 year old exterior modeling already.
