Nice to know. Where do I get details acceleration times between any 2 speeds for all cars?
All information derived from Car & Driver to make it an apples to apples comparison.
But more importantly, you can feel and see it in an EV.

fastestlaps.com should provide the closest numbers for performance-oriented cars.Wher can I get the following acceleration times for various cars?
0 - 30
50 - 70
40 - 50

For low optioned yes, for high optioned no. We still don't know about the "P" version, but presumably it will cost even more.If you want special, buy a S. The Model 3 performance will feel amazing to most people shopping in its price range.
Remind me... Didn't Elon confirm there would be a Ludicrous mode on the Model 3? The second shoe has yet to drop on this nimble little car.
model s 60 and old 75's are in the 5 second range and nobody is saying those are slow cars. i think the 5.6 5.1 will be plenty fast for the average buyer. from a marketing stand point it would make no sense to have the base or 2nd tier model 3 in the 4 second range and would be bad business decision(aka it would cannibalize mode s sales)
Yeah, Model 3 is artificially limited in 0-60 to not compete with Model S/X.
Whether or not this will remain the case once Tesla no longer relies on Model S/X sales for its quarterly results, we do not know.
After all, it is not unheard of for smaller cars being quicker than larger cars in manufacturer's lineups. BMW is one of those makers.
I'm sure they both will go quicker.....
The 0-60 times are 5.6 and 5.1 seconds.
For comparison in BMW 3 series:
330i at $38750 has 0-60 at 5.5 sec
340i at $47900 has 0-60 at 4.8 sec
Agree 100%--The best way to compare an ICEV to an EV is to use the 5-60mph rolling start. For EVs 0-60 and 5-60 are usually very similar. Look at these 5-60 numbers from C&D:Agree...Car and Driver is gospel on these stats, and also agree with your comments on how EVs effectively perform considerably better in the real world than the numbers even suggest. I also agree that the passing and 5-60 mph numbers are much better indicators of real-world performance.
