Remember by then the S and X may both be faster as well... OOOhhhhh imagine a 2.3 sec 0-60 Model S hehehehe oh the looks on the people's faces that you'll leave at the light....

I'm pretty sure that if it's technically possible and there's money to be made, they'll ship it.
The votes are IN ! Check back at the top of the Thread where I'll post them for future reference (hopefully we hear specs early next year... don't think we'll hear at the autopilot event later this year but we should at reveal 2 event.)

IMO, there's no way they are making the M3 quicker than an S for one big reason: Anything beyond a 2.8 second 0-60 is just plain not safe for the average buyer, especially in a mass produced vehicle. Keeping the resident rocket to a limited production, cost-prohibitive model makes sense. You want to keep up with a launching SpaceX Falcon? Get a Model S P90DL.

Safe? Tesla, please don't concern yourself with my safety. Sub 2.5 is just fine. I will care for my safety myself.
I'm predicting the S will get faster over next couple years. Also, Tesla makes a VERY safe vehicle, kinda makes up for the speed right? I get what you're saying though... I don't think everyTom Dick and Harry should be out there in a 2.5 second car... but they could also mitigate this with software updates, i.e. autopilot only let's you do a ludicrous launch if it detects no vehicles ahead or beside you for a certain radius. Thanks for entering the contest... now we wait lol.

Guess I'm playing for fun! Stupid work getting in the way of my forum viewing 
I'll say 3.1 seconds and a price of $58,500.

Hey lets derail the thread a little more:
I agree it's feasible that the 3 could be stupid fast, but I think they will save it for the next roadster, and the 3 will just have a impressive 0-60 similar to current model S specs. Model S will be a little faster by the time the 3 is released also.
Maximum plaid is where jaws will drop, and you will pay a pretty penny for that I'm sure. Margins margins margins!

But, but the nanny state must dictate your behavior! I must curb your freedoms!
Believe me, getting that kind of performance from a relatively budget-oriented vehicle would be awesome. I'm just thinking the company as a whole might consider keeping their fastest models for those who are willing to pay the premium. At least for now.

This would not be wise as there're quite a few sub 5 second cars well below this price point.

Elon, please ramp up Berlin GF in plaid mode!

Will be incredibly quick 0-60 the 1/4 mile will be interesting if it will maintain power. I don't see the Lambo-Ferrari-Porsche crowd that worried about losing a stoplight to stoplight run. Sometimes it's not how fast you go....... it's how well you go fast.
Heck- i've seen diesel trucks running 10 sec 1/4 mile times which is just plain silly.

I think you may have Tesla confused with Faraday Future.Half a year later: I'm afraid we have to think about 1.2/1.8sec
