    There are many ways to get that number for example from standing still or 5 feet roll. The mph could be from the most common US test methodoloy and km/h from the European methodology. That's not important here though. The important thing is both numbers had been there long ago. There is no recent "downgrade".

    You aren't taking into account the necessary gear shift at 60 mph!

    probably 1.9 is with a role out, which is not used for acceleration tests outside the US...........

    It was always stated that way
    It did 0-60 in 1.9 seconds the night of the reveal didn't it? Definitely an error on Elon's part.

    So it was first 1.9 seconds, but now it is longer to 2.1?
    Doesn't the p100d get 0-60 in 2.4 seconds?
    I think I have the 2019 model. Is the 0-60 same as the 2020 model?
    i think it's 2019 if it's before April, and 2020 after April.

    I wonder every day how I can afford a 2020 Roadster

    Stop wondering and get on with your lives. Only Elon knows when it will come out. But rest assured it will! :)

    Performance figures on the Tesla website are always stated in the "motortrend spec", which is 0-60mph (0-96kph) and with the 1' rollout. Adding those times will increase the true 0-100kph time with about 0.35s
