That's a joke, right? Because the units for potential and current and power really are capitalized as V and A and W, respectively. They should also be capitalized when written out, like you did.

I jokingly told my wife it's time to start saving up for the P100DL due to it's super fast 0-60.
Her: "Can it do 0-60 in 2 seconds?"
Me: "ugh... no. No production car can, it's 2.5 seconds"
Her "Get back to me when it can do it in 2.0s"
I guess no P100DL for me...

2.5s is already expensive just not Porsche 918 Spyder or LaFerrari expensive. Elon has already stated that it is already close to theoretical limit so I don't see the 2.0s happening.I think that "0-60 in 2 seconds" will be expensive. So you better start saving now anyway - and now you almost has it pre-aproved by the Boss

Give me 300 mile range and he can keep the 2.0's.

If they are on schedule, the M3 would be the fastest to be built. Yes it has been known for quite a while they were designing it. We're talking about a working concept to production though. M3, at best, should be 3.2s to not eat into the sales of MS performance series.

No joke, you are mistaken. Standard usage is "volt", "ampere", "watt", "hertz", "ohm", "farad", "kelvin", "joule", "newton", "pascal", "tesla", and so forth. The symbols based on personal names capitalized, as HankLloydRight correctly pointed out.
SI derived units
I thought for sure you're off your rocker, I was going to have some cocky comment like "as an Electrical Engineer I should know..." but damn, after Googling around, you're right.
Learned something new.
One source, but they all pretty much say the same thing

It would make no sense at all to make a car slower or lesser to keep the sales of a particular model from being undersold.
Businesses are in the business of making money. If the M3 outsells the MS, then it just does. The question is the profit margin of both cars and how many of either one will be sold.

Pretty soon the distance from Earth to Mars will be measured in Elons.
You used it wrong. It's "measured in elons, after Elon, with a unit of E"

Does it make sense to software limit other Model S performance but they do it anyway? There's no doubt the M3 will outsell the MS and that's unequivocal based on pre-order numbers.

Yes they do limit the Model S performance, HOWEVER the question is why. Why do they limit it on some versions? To sell upgrades. It has nothing at all to do with the sales of cars. It's the why of the question.....not whether they can limit it or not.
