Well it's in top trim 0.5 sec faster to 60 then Porsche cayenne Turbo S and just a bit slower then Lambo Aventador. Tesla model S p85d is faster then Aventador

Well it's in top trim 0.5 sec faster to 60 then Porsche cayenne Turbo S and just a bit slower then Lambo Aventador. Tesla model S p85d is faster then Aventador and same time to 60 as Lambo Veneo (costs over 4 million USD).
- fsaneq2 11y agoTo say that it is a "bit slower" than an Aventador is very misleading. In a 0-60 straight line drag race, maybe. But that's not particularly hard to do (that's why Mustangs are cheap), and also not the point of any serious supercar.
- qaq 11y agoWell Shelby GT350 is not particularly cheap at 70K yet can't touch those numbers either :). The point of serious supercar is to demonstrate the status of the owner :). If it was track performance then GTR Nismo is making majority of super cars look very bad and at 1/4 to 1/20 of the cost.
- kuschku 11y agoAnd on the Autobahn it’s slower than most family sedans, actually obstructing traffic.
- imtringued 11y agoMaybe those "most family sedan" drivers should try to obey the speed limits?

- t0mas88 11y agoBig parts of the German autobahn have no speedlimits...
- CroCroCro 11y agoI'm German and that's just a false statement.
- gambiting 11y agoWhat's false about it? I drive through Germany regularly and there are stretches of the autobahn where there's no speed limit, I've driven at 130mph past police cars and it's absolutely fine - are you saying that the "big" part is false?
- wibr 11y agoquick fact check via google: 40% of the German Autobahn have speed limits, I guess 60% can count as "big parts"
- imtringued 11y agoI'm commuting every day through the a section of the Autobahn where the speedlimit is 130km/h and some sections go as low as 100km/h. Posting about personal experiences is obviously equal to inflamatory trolling and should be voted as such.

- usrusr 11y agoThey are, trying to get to the next speed-limited section as fast as they can ;)
- ju-st 11y agoApparently the optimal speed for driving between superchargers is 160km/h... so the problem are the Model S drivers, not the car itself.
- kuschku 11y ago160km/h counts as "slow" on the Autobahn. The average family sedan does 180km/h on there — so a Tesla at 160km/h will seem slow.
- imtringued 11y agoWe are talking here about the Tesla S P85. It goes from 0 to 100km/h in 3.5 seconds and easily handles 220km/h. Sure acceleration from 100km/h to 200km/h is pretty slow at 12 seconds but does the average family sedan really have 700hp?
- kuschku 11y agoNo – why should it? This is more about cruising speed. A family sedan won’t accelerate well at its 90HP, but it will easily stay at 180 to 200km/h.
- rebootthesystem 11y agoBig difference: Those cars can maintain that performance until the tank is empty. Tesla's will go into overtemp protection and throttle you down significantly. Get a Tesla on a race track with any decent mid-range car for a 200 mile race and see what happens.
- fffernan 11y agoActually its quite slow: https://forums.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/model-s-laguna-seca-lap-times https://forums.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/model-s-laguna-s...
