Unfortunately only 1 track, but it's not pretty and turns in times slower than a Golf GTD (diesel) or Fiesta ST.
The P85 has a bit more tracks: http://fastestlaps.com/cars/tesla_model_s_performance_model.html http://fastestlaps.com/cars/tesla_model_s_performance_model....
Around Willow Springs it's slower than a Ford Mustang Ecoboost (0-60 5.2s, 310hp), and around Laguna it's close to 3 seconds slower than a VW Golf R (0-60 4.5s, 300hp)
The Tesla is a luxury barge after all, not a sports car, so these results shouldn't exactly be surprising.
- theonlyhighlndr 11y agoExactly, yet people who have no clue about cars will say that because it has a faster 0-60 time it's a faster car. Teslas marketing department is damn good.
- qbrass 11y agoCars spend most of their time between 0 and 60. It's a good area to optimize.
- kllrnohj 11y agoSmooth, effortless acceleration is definitely a luxury feature, too. This is exactly why 6 figure luxury sedans often have very powerful V8s, V10s, or even V12s. Just don't confuse that with being a fast car, at least not around a track.
