If people really cared about acceleration, why would they buy standard versions of the Model 3/Y (which outsell performance versions)? It's quick, but there are cheaper vehicles that outperform it 0-60.
- travisporter 4y agoYou sure? The standard Tesla models are quite fast for price point. the standard hyundai, kia, ford, vw crossover EVs are slower, but faster than their ICE counterparts
- asynchronous 4y agoBecause an off the shelf standard Model 3 is 3-4x faster 0-60 than almost any other car in its price range. The difference between standard and performance model is nowhere near the same leap in speed.
- r00fus 4y agoDude I have a Ford Focus EV and I can go toe to toe with anything short of a muscle car. It's almost even better than a Tesla because it's a sleeper. A standard Tesla accelerates about 2x as fast as my econobox.
