The car was spec'd by Tesla as 5.1s 0-60 but has been reported doing 4.7 or better on several occasions so they have a lot of space to slow it down without being a position where you could accuse them of doing something they would be legally liable for.



I can think of several reasons they would do this, the most obvious being that the AWD may not be much faster than it's rated 4.5s 0-60 and they don't want the RWD to be so close in performance.



If it's true I'm not happy about it but I still enjoy the car and it's still faster than almost every other car on the road. I *think* I feel a difference from a stop but I don't trust my butt dyno so I'll wait until some of the YouTubers who have done previous 0-60 runs with reliable instrumentation post updates.
