Tesla roadster 0-60 in UNDER 2 seconds

[KingBlack]

sooo...just like that...everybody else is competing for 2nd place...unreal
i set this video to go directly to the good part
edit
looks like the video tag edits out the time stamp. skip to 55:50

Video started at the beginning for me. Looks like test drive starts around 55:50 or so.

They actually have to produce it first. Model 3 production isn't going all that great.

Cool car but ghey vid.

Ponzi scheme. Need deposits from this thing to build the other things lol.

The website says it runs an 8.8 in the quarter

I just read about this on Fox News. Tesla claims that it will be the fastest production assembly vehicle ever, able to reach 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds. Holy crap! If the car is built and this claim proven (along with 600 miles on a single charge), it will indeed be a smack down on gasoline powered cars. We'll have to see what the future says about this.

All for 250k. I expect to see my towns Whole Foods packed with them.

 

[apex svt]

Wicked.

Is this the beginning of the end for the big block V8s and super cars that are gas powered? This (seems) to out perform a ton of vehicles out there. Especially with a 8.8sec quarter mile.
This makes me want to cling to my slow GT500.

Was just a matter of time.

I know not apples to apples, but a good inidcator.. consider that Electric RC cars have been butt raping gas powered RC cars for about 10 years now (maybe a little less) and you could see this eventually coming to full scale 1:1 vehicles.

The lithium ion batteries and brushless motor tech has gone bonkers. And the tech is only going to get better leading to faster more efficient motor designs and longer lasting, more powerful, smaller-footprint batteries.

Yep. Tesla will start impressing me when they fix their build quality issues, doesn't need billions in government subsidies and actually start making profits.

 

[AustinSN]

They somehow stuffed a 200KW battery into this thing, which means they figured out a way to increase the battery density.

That same battery tech in a model S would push it close to 600 miles to a charge. There are very few people who drive more than 600 miles in a day, even when it comes to road trips that's a decent stopping point.

 

[speeddemon2000]

Definitely seems like the future. I would love to drive one. Don't think I'll every own one because of cost.

 

[Snagged]

Can't beat instant TQ.......but you can't beat the fun a gasoline engine provides.

If Mustangs kill crowds, this thing should dominate the deaf and hard of hearing protests.

Something like that almost makes you want them to emit fake engine noises. ha

I remember years ago they were talking about making the prius and the leaf pump out fake noises for safety.

I guess that never happened.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that.

When the guy from the Tesla racing channel buys one, he will still manage to get the brake on his opponent.
