Thanks for all this information. It all makes perfect sense. And yet it rubs me the wrong way. Claiming 2.3 seconds zero to sixty when it's actually six and a half to sixty just seems wrong. The cool part is that with the top-accelerating Teslas, the limiting factor is the tire grip, not the motors. Though for me, the coolest part is not the outrageous acceleration, it's the fact that they don't use any gasoline, and if you have solar panels on your roof or a wind charger in your yard, you are running you car on free energy. (Mine runs on hydro.)
