I’d say it’s in the very low 3 second range. But what makes the difference is that there is no ramp up to power. It might not be any faster than a nice running E9xM3 after a few seconds, but those first few seconds will put the 3 in the lead far enough to hold it through the quarter mile. The E9xM3 would start reeling in the 3 at some point but probably would not pass it until about 120mph.

Handled pretty firmly as well. And I know one of the car magazines did a mild overhaul to the suspension of one and made it handle even more firmly and sharply.

I am not ready for one yet but am impressed by the performance versions of the Tesla 3 and S and look forward to learning more about the Taycan.

Got to drive a Taycan 4S over the weekend and was thoroughly impressed with how it drove and the silly acceleration. Launch control was not THAT impressive, but from a roll, it literally felt like being on a rollercoaster. My friend was looking at leasing one and it's $1900 a month

Off topic, I know this is supposed to be about Teslas. I do think they make amazing DD's, but for an emotional/fun drive, I'll go with an ICE engine everyday.
