I just noticed they're now advertising the 0-60 of the performance trim as 3.3 seconds. Only a week or so ago, they were advertising 3.5 seconds.

I might have to test drive one soon. My wife is strongly disapproving me getting a Roadster in a few years. If I find that 0-60 in 3.3 seconds is enough, I might settle for a Model 3.

EDIT: They also removed the option to purchase full self-driving. Interesting...

3.3 is pretty dang fast. People sometimes complain about how fast my budget EV (hint: not a tesla) accelerates when I drive them around.

I test drove a 90D and the acceleration off the line is heart-stopping. And that is listed at 4.7s.

I've been on roller coasters that launch from 0 to 120 mph in 3.8 seconds, which is quicker than a Roadster 2.0. I rode it enough times that even that kind of acceleration no longer felt mind-blowing.

I'm worried that getting a car that does 0-60 in 3.3 would actually feel somewhat underwhelming considering that I'm, I guess "calibrated", for something quicker. Maybe I'd feel different though when I'm in control with the power at my command.

I'll probably test drive a Model 3 next year.
