There's even a "dark pattern" with the quoted 0-60 times. They've subtracted the rollout only on the fastest model to make the gap between it and the mid-spec model appear larger (notice the asterisk only on the top spec car's 0-60 time). Not the first time they've done this either, they've done the same thing with the Plaid Model S specs before.
I don't really care about the debate over whether subtracting rollout is legitimate - it's just very silly the 0-60 measurement methodology isn't consistent across all three models on the page.
- agloe_dreams 3y agoThey do it on the Model 3 as well. The Model 3 Performance is 1Ft rollout (3.1s) but the Dual Motor Long Range is not. Car and driver tested it to 3.99 when Tesla says ~4.2s
- rogerkirkness 3y agoAt least the lying is in the slow direction rather than the fast direction.
- giobox 3y agoNo, its the same direction again. The 3.99 achieved by car and driver is for the dual motor mid range car, which tesla quote at 4.2. Tesla quote the top spec Performance at 3.1 seconds to 60 with roll out subtraction only on the fastest car again. Car and Driver however also subtract rollout in their tests, so again its not a valid comparison to the 4.2 figure from Tesla with rollout included, making things even more confusing here.
