Serious & maybe very ignorant question.
- Edit - For clarification, my reason for asking was due to this occurring in less than 1 second. I don't understand what the driver does as I'm assuming they have no gears to shift or turns to make.
Very cool, but also kind of impressive that a Tesla manages this in ~2.5 seconds while doing all the other stuff a production car does. What time would a Tesla get if you stripped out all the extra weight? (seats, glass, electronics, roof, etc. etc.) Video here (900 MB download): https://polybox.ethz.ch/index.php/s/uKWFRcBjtl4foEy/download...

Could we maybe change the title here and change it to 100mph? I realize this is the original article title but EV + 0 to 100 led me to believe the article was talking about battery charging speed.
0 to 100% fully charged in less than one second?

Now there is a huge emphasis on engagement, dynamics, and a bunch of vague "feelsomeness" as sports cars slowly become like horses.
The march of time is interesting...

>What time would a Tesla get if you striped out all the extra weight? (seats, glass, electronics, roof, etc. etc.) That's been done - you don't actually want to remove things like glass because the aerodynamic efficiency loss doesn't outweigh the weight removal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywvGbus3yxo
Out of curiosity, what's the point of a driver in something like this besides to have a human in the vehicle adding weight? Are they doing much?

Otherwise it’s just a missle with a required degree of ground contact, no?
