Roll-out is standard my dude. So is testing at drag strips. Next you're going to point out that a tesla accelerating on the beach gets to 60mph in 11 seconds and therefore Elon is lying.
Many magazines use rollout and different surfaces. But pretty much every car manufacturer displays their acceleration numbers without excluding rollout or using a prepped surface. The dodge deamon is the exception here because it is designed for drag racing.
Tesla is interesting because they selectively include or exclude the rollout in their acceleration numbers. For their slower (but still very fast) models they include the rollout, and for their faster ones they exclude it, artificially increasing the gap between their models. Not sure why.
