Yeah, it’s the Model 3 performance that can do 0-60 in 2.9, which is the bottom model Tesla. I would say a corvette is is not the bottom chevy model.

The Tesla model S plaid is the fastest 0-60 ever tested (1.9 something) by most independent testers (like motor trend), and it’s a 4 door luxury car. I think that was back in 2023, and “production” is defined as > 100K units sold, which leaves out the “supercars”.

Tesla is coming out with a roadster that is aiming at UNDER 1.0 seconds 0-60. I expect that car though to come in at OVER 100K$. Perhaps 150K$.

BTW, my daily drive is a Roush Mustang GT. I have a CyberTruck on order (no, i turned down founder’s edition, as I don’t pay extra for badges, only performance)
ETA is probably EOY 2024. We also have a Ford F150 Super as a workhorse, it’s getting long of tooth, and will go. I just had to repair the electronics in the transmission. 100$ sensor of which the dealership and most trans shops whould have changed the transmission for (believe it or not it’s true) they wanted 5K rebuilt or 8K new.

The F150 will always have mountains of aftermarket parts available. My job relies heavily on the sale of EV chips, and we have “free” charging at work for the earliest risers. I think we FReepers all wish that the subsidies and CAFE restrictions were dropped altogether so as not to warp the natural development of the actual alternative energy market. I actually bought a dual fuel gasoline/CNG Ford Contour years ago to save money on my long commute. Awful car, and the CNG part didn’t even work ( nowhere to test it where I bought it),. Now CNG is considered dirty.
