The Model S may have a fast 0-60 time but it is no supercar. It can't even do one lap of the Nurburgring without entering limp mode.

- TwoBit 9y agoTrue, though I imagine a lot of crashes can occur from just that 0-60. There are lots of Internet videos that attest to this.
- Pulcinella 9y agoOh I agree. It still has far more performance than anyone really "needs" and you can totally wrap yourself around a tree with that. My Mazda 3 does 0-60 in about 7 seconds which would have been hot hatch territory a few decades ago. That's plenty for most people even for highway driving. The Model S has a weird performance profile. Most other cars that have similar acceleration also have the handling to accompany it.
- sliken 9y agoSure, but if you do the equivalent of even 25% of a record laptop on the Nurburgring on a public road you should be jailed.
