Tesla is an American car company with cars mostly sold in the US. Use freedom units next time.Model 3 Ludicrous 0-100 km/hr Poll
That statement is wrong on so many levels... but I almost burst out laughing.Use freedom units next time.
Benny you missed my contest for whoever guesses closest 10th of a second zero-60 ludicrous time for Model 3. Winner gets a set of Tesla mugs. But I'm glad to see other polls going on! I'm betting it will be 2.5 seconds (hopefully less, I like having my face melted)Model 3 Ludicrous 0-100 km/hr Poll
Seeing as the P100DL came out with 2.5 seconds, I'm worried about my original guess...Benny you missed my contest for whoever guesses closest 10th of a second zero-60 ludicrous time for Model 3. Winner gets a set of Tesla mugs. But I'm glad to see other polls going on! I'm betting it will be 2.5 seconds (hopefully less, I like having my face melted)
Freedom units? I know what you mean but.... freedom units? hmmmmSince 100 kph is greater than 60 mph the time will most certainly be between 2.5 and 3.0.
0-60 uphill or downhill?Benny you missed my contest for whoever guesses closest 10th of a second zero-60 ludicrous time for Model 3. Winner gets a set of Tesla mugs. But I'm glad to see other polls going on! I'm betting it will be 2.5 seconds (hopefully less, I like having my face melted)
For those who don't get the joke: Freedom fries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaFreedom units? I know what you mean but.... freedom units? hmmmm
The competition for the M3 is not the MS or Roadster. I would hope that Teslas objective is to blow away the competition.3.6-4 at least in the beginning to leave some distance to S and new Roadster.
It's amazing how far we have come with Tesla cars when 0-60 in 3.0 is considered slow or "only".
Absolutely - Isn't it great?It's amazing how far we have come with cars when 0-60 in 3.0 is considered slow or "only".
That's a question that does not need to be entertained. Let it happen.With 0-60 times decreasing rapidly (it seems), at what point do they become a danger to the driver or anything in his or the car's path? Really, 2.5 seconds?
This has been studied extensively. Acceleration beyond roughly 4G's can restrict vision while 5G's often causes loss of consciousness. One presumes that being conscious is a good thing for a Tesla driver, so we don't advocate Maximum Plaid(MP) to exceed that level. Caution suggests the upper limit for MP should probably not exceed 2G's, considering that so many Tesla drivers are geezers, and so many others might be reading newspapers, watching TV or performing ablutions of one kind or another. For reference there are many studies, but here is a link to a brief discussion of the subject:With 0-60 times decreasing rapidly (it seems), at what point do they become a danger to the driver or anything in his or the car's path?

Thanks for confirming my thesis. Does Cedar Point have a "geezer limit" or anything else we should consider it making our recommendations to Tesla on the recommended M3 performance levels?The Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster at Cedar Point hits 0 - 60 in about 2.1 seconds or so and hits about 2 Gs. This is plenty fast enough, especially since, if you're not ready for it, you're going to smack your head on the headrest. Just keeping your arms up is hard enough.
