Tesla Model S Plaid does 0-60 in 1.98 seconds

[Rick Astley]

Tesla’s are 6 times less likely to be in an accident or incident than other automakers…

Teslas are also 6,000% more likely to sit in a repair center for 8 months waiting on parts to be produced.

Being able to wreck your car only 3 months out of the year does certainly reduce the odds of an accident.

In observation, Tesla drivers are some of the least aware motorists on the road anywhere near an Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, T-mobile or Starbucks headquarters building. Yea, 6 massive corporations in one area. Brilliant at condensing Tesla owners onto roadways.

In this thread:

"Just give me a v8, it's better anyways"
"Nice car they built will all them subsidies"
"Oh, does it run on bitcoin?"
"Back in MY day, I had a Dodge dart that could do that."
"Sure it's fast, but you can't charge it anywhere"

Distracted driving = more accidents. So by your logic the data should show up in insurance data. According to the insurance industry Ford has the most fatalities of any brand, F150 highest number of fatalities. Tesla Model 3 is lowest https://www.autoinsurance.org/which-auto-makes-get-in-the-most-fatal-accidents/

Stupid comparison. How many Fords are on the road compared to Tesla's? Anybody can cherry pick statistics to support their arguments.

If Tesla solar is any indication of how they run their automotive business then no thanks, I’ll pass. I also don’t have high regards for Elon Musk, but hey, that’s just like my opinion, man

That being said, holy hell that’s ridiculously fast!

That is an incomprehensible number. Just insanity.

Is Reddit our new source for news now? Man, this forum has gone downhill (lol).

I watched the reveal last week - Pretty cool car. Too expensive and also need to realize a) the battery drain on this will be quite quick and b) don’t need that kind of speed for daily use. I’d be happy with the “Performance” model.

I meant to link just the article but linked the Reddit thread instead, and was too lazy to edit it lol.

Hey, you don’t need to explain yourself to me… You run this place haha.

*Virtual high-five for laziness though*

I have a Model Y performance and
acceleration can be brutal/dizzying if I do several hard pulls in a row. The Plaid is like roller coaster level G force and can easily see people get disoriented and possibly pass out.

Seems safe.

To @Rick Astley 's point, though, doesn't make them any less of a bunch of d-bags when they don't use their turn signals.

Now divide those politician stats from a "dot org" with an ad for insurance quotes by the number of vehicles of that manufacturer on the road.

How many times can you punch it on a charge?

Forget about 2 seconds…”Musk claims new Tesla Roadster will do 0-60 mph in 1.1 seconds with SpaceX rocket option” -

Insane render:

One of the biggest challenges for Ford, GM, Stelantis are the unions. They are a legacy burden that acts like an anvil around their necks.

And help keeps Americans able to afford something of an American Dream, whatever is left of it that is. Unions are multi edged swords. They are good for workers, terrible for companies, they breed laziness, but also motivate the unskilled. Whatcha gonna do? I still think Elon is a super villian. Just waiting for his evil reveal.

Even a Model Performance is push you back in your seat fast. It’s one of those cars you look down and you’re doing 70 on a city street.
