I understand exactly what you are saying, however I'm not interested in Tesla being a baby sitting service for my neural system. I'll take care of that myself.Nausea inducing acceleration! Or G-force blacked out drivers where the car has to take over for the health of others
Yes, if you have an existing condition it can be dangerous but it isn't that bad. Consider the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point, it does 0 - 60 in 1.2 seconds and hits over 2g's. Yes, people pass out from it, and people get sick but none of the millions of people that ride it are required to take a complete physical to ride it. True, none of the riders are actually controlling it, but the acceleration isn't that debilitating.I'm not trolling but if it can do 0-60 in 2.0flat then you will need a complete physical to use it or be sued.
.8g can make you black out if have an unknown heart condition/brain issue. I would never use it for safety sake.
Dragsters need to take drug tests and physicals to be able to race.
Ludicruios 0-60 at 3 or greater is not "Ludicrous" IMHO.
Tesla makes cars that are unheard-of. That's what they do.It is if you count in the bill. Getting 3 second result from $50k vehicle is unheard-of.
It's faster than BMW M3 and cheaper by a third.
My estimations are right near 3 second mark. This is due to smaller pack not giving out more juice and slightly lighter vehicle having better acceleration on that juice. Anything more than 3 seconds will be too far from "mass market vehicle".

How many folks would ever have said that a car as large as the MS would achieve the 0-60 times that could challenge 1.2 to 4 million dollar and up cars.
Model X Ludicrous was greater than 3 seconds at one point.Ludicruios 0-60 at 3 or greater is not "Ludicrous" IMHO.
Why does everyone keep saying this? I think that the profit margin on a 3PDL will be higher than an SPDL (due to tooling being amortized over more cars, cheaper pack from the gigafactory, cheaper to manufacture, and cheaper materials like more steel). In which case it's in Tesla's best interest to cannibalize S/X PDL sales in favor of 3PDL sales. I don't think Elon cares about which of his cars is the fastest as long as one of them is.This points out that the theoretical best time for a street legal car is 2.0s 0-60. The Model 3 will be quick, but I think Model S will always be the quickest car in the Tesla family until the next gen Roadster is introduced.
Ah, but you're extrapolating the current platform forward. Yes, the current pack is topped out. But they are moving to new cells and they could increase pack voltage to get the same amount of power as the P100DL with a smaller pack. Also the 3 should weigh less which means it needs less power to achieve the same acceleration (traction being equal).I don't think the Model 3 will ever have a battery large enough to challenge the acceleration of the Model S P cars. Whatever they can do to improve performance of the M3, can be done to the MS and it sounds like the top end MS will always have a larger battery than possible on the M3.

I think that a 2 second 0-60 time would require the AP3 option.
This would prevent the car from crashing after the high g force (jerk) caused the driver to black out.

No, he does not saying that. Listen again. He says "two seconds", not "two seconds flat" or "two point 0" or anything like that.This is the Trevor clip from Model3ownersclub. At 4:40 he talks about the 2.0 0-60.
