The performance gap with different Teslas is not as big as it seems.

Elon Musk wouldn’t try to deceive you, would he? Well unfortunately Tesla 0-60 times are a bit misleading. For example, Tesla shows a 0-60 in 1.99 seconds on their website for the Model S Plaid, or 3.1 seconds if you opt for the dual motor AWD Model S. But if you click “feature details” a box pops up, informing you that the Plaid’s time is with the first foot of rollout subtracted. But the standard S doesn’t apply this practice. So in reality, the Plaid’s true 0-60 is greater than 1.99 seconds, and the gap in performance between the two Model S’s is not as wide as it seems. And this is true for Tesla’s other Performance models as well. They use different 0-60 methods for different models, altering your perception of the gap in performance.

If you're thinking *"every car maker does this"* I challenge you to find any other car maker, which on the order page shows different 0-60 times for different trims, with no asterisks, yet using different methodologies, and thus widening the true performance gap. I've never seen it anywhere else. For the full explanation, check out this video (linked on screen) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i7yigpPSu_o.html

@EngineeringExplained Just went to Ford Lighting page. Hmmm For some reason the Pro 0-60 times with * is the only one with an asterisk. Lol all other trims don't have the asterisk and advertise with the extended range so yes it's not just Tesla

@@JoshuaTootell EVs are useful for short trips within dense cities so you don’t have a combustion engine running while sat in traffic, but thats pretty much the only situation where they are superior to cars with combustion engines.

@bigguy4u989 Месяц назад

all car magazines and publications subtract rollout from their tested 0-60 times, it’s a standard practice

@user-qy2wf2lt6v 21 день назад

Even worst in europe, because they often quote the 0-60 (miles) times as the 0-100 (kilometers), which it's actually 62 miles.

tbh once you start having 0-60 times below 4 seconds it starts to become exponentially harder to go faster so it is still very impressive especially for the price

@puransu20 Месяц назад

They really wanted to get that sub-2s 0-60 time as selling point for the Plaid I guess. It is incredibly misleading since even though it's just a foot it means that the car isnt gaining enough traction from standstill to actually move and accelerate towards 60mph. It's a really misleading number that can shave off more than a couple hundredths of a second. Also, regardless of loss of traction, that 1ft gain from standstill is the gonna be longest time the car takes to travel 1ft since it's still at its slowest. Wouldn't be misleading at all as a measurement test but to compare it with the non-subtracted number there's gonna be some noticeable gains.

@lynxrbeam8732 26 дней назад

Right, and we’re going to ignore the 1.98 second clocked irl for the plaid. Because the website saying 1.99 seconds means it’s always 1.99 seconds regardless of heat, tire size, tire warmth, ground traction, wind resistance. Etc. I get we all hate Tesla but this vid is bs. At least if you complain about the body gaps you’re pointing out an actual flaw.
