car and driver posted sub-5 second 0-60 times in their test runs
I dout it somehow. The Tesla CEO himself said 5.7 seconds:
Tesla Motors President & CEO Ze’ev Drori December 27th 2007
To help speed delivery of cars, we will begin production in 2008 with an interim transmission design. These transmissions will meet high standards for reliability and durability, but the car will not meet the original performance spec for acceleration, reaching 60 mph in 5.7 seconds instead of the promised 4 seconds. When the final transmission is ready, we will retrofit all cars, at Tesla’s expense, to meet the promised performance specifications.

Car and driver must be quoting original numbers cause the man isnt going to low ball his car. My whole point was.. by going from sub 4. to now just barely sub 6.. the car is not worth it.
