Would ludicrous mode for the roadster go 0-60 in 1 second? the 620 mile range is super impressive. How??? Or is it just that the roadster is super light?

- jabretti 9y agoYou'd think that the ability for the wheels to deliver power to the ground has to be the limiting factor at some point.
- travisjungroth 9y agoMost sports cars are at that point at low speeds and either need a skillful foot or an electronic system to prevent burning out. A 1.9 second 0-60 is pretty much the limit on street tires (and requires AWD). Someone will take it even further by putting drag slicks on there.
- grkvlt 9y agoThe statement from Elon Musk at the car's announcement was 'Has anyone here watched Spaceballs? What's faster than Ludicrous? That's right, Plaid!' So in the Roadster, there is a 'Plaid' mode which enables the 0-60 in 1.8s acceleration, accompanied by suitable graphics on the 17" screen ;)
