Its top speed was not revealed, but he hinted it was "above 250mph".

Fun stuff. That said, as the battery discharges it creates heat, as the temperature rises, the computer limits output; to prevent battery damage.

Therefore max output is limited to short bursts, like 0-60.

Telsa...under 2 seconds...downhill? If Telsa ever made a SUV that seats 7, tows 4000 pounds and go about 1000 miles on a charge, I’ll look at it.
