Depends on the year, it used to be around 11s, latest models brought it down to 8-7 seconds.
Normal ICE cars are in the 12-18s range, sometimes <10s but you’d look like a mad man revving your engine high enough to achieve that.
5s is ridiculously fast and that kind of acceleration should _never_ be used in the middle of traffic or city roads.
- fiddlerwoaroof 3y agoMy Tesla’s 0-60 makes a huge difference in normal driving, because the acceleration profile at low speeds is a lot more “do the right thing now”. Driving my minivan or other ICE cars feels laggy to me now.
- RosanaAnaDana 3y agoThis is the sense I was trying to communicate. I'm not flooring it, but when I make a speed adjustment, it happens 'right away'. There is no delay. Its immediate.
- AtlasBarfed 3y agoA lot of that is the automatic transmission in ICE drivetrains. a manual transmission delivers immediate acceleration but still not as good as a Tesla
- a_t48 3y agoI drive a Jetta GLI, it’s 6.1 (edit - 6.4?) seconds - fairly fast but not a fancy sports car, no obnoxious reviving required. It’s a four cylinder, too!
- jtc331 3y agoYou might want to check your facts. The 2022 Honda Odyssey minivan (not a small vehicle) has 0-60 of 6.5s.
- ricardobeat 3y agoI looked it up and that car has a 3.4 V6 engine with 280HP. Hardly a “normal” car, at least outside the US, this is entering sports car territory.
