Think the Tesla Model S Plaid does 0-60kmh in 2.28s(without rollout subtracted), thats insane .....

That's 2.1s for 0-100km/hr for the Plaid+ 2022 model, as touted.

There is a bit of a trick here with the Tesla, I've got mates who own various Tesla with all the major high performance AWD models covered. None of that high performance comes off the shelf, you have to go through a lot of procedures and pre-heat the battery and motors to get anywhere near that performance, if the warm up is not followed the current protection circuits prevent the required power levels. Just doing this once, destroys about half your charge/range, there are a few guys who do chop jobs on having them setup for off-road drags! It's a bit tricky to get the peak performance out, like baking a soufflé!

Having said that, even the stock standard 100D pins you to the non-stain white leather seats when you floor the accelerator. Some people may find the non-stain leather quite useful!
