The Tesla Model S P100D set a new record with a 0-60 time of 2.28 seconds, as tested by Motor Trend. Originally, this seemed impossible based on my theoretical limit of 0-60 mph in 2.32 seconds from the braking distance of a P85. Thankfully, Jason Cammisa and Frank Markus of Motor Trend contacted me and we worked through their numbers. The critical piece of information which I left out in my first video is that the 0-60 time of 2.28 seconds excludes the time for 1 ft of rollout. In that first 0.26 seconds, the Tesla has already reached 5.9 mph before the clock has started ticking. This video explains rollout, and why it is used by all the major auto magazines.
