Elon Musk says new 'mind-blowing' Roadster will go to 0-60mph in <1 second
Tonight, we radically increased the design goals for the new Tesla Roadster.
There will never be another car like this, if you could even call it a car.

into a family. Seriously if I remember correctly that would be probably 5 to 6g. Same as some roller coasters but since Tesla's seem to have no safety measures with people sleeping in the back seat etc. this could be a disaster. I still don't get if there is no safety or if people hack into the systems. I know on my cars the adaptative cruise freaks out if you're not holding the steering wheel for more than 3 seconds.

Wonder how many snapped spines this will result in...

Lord I can only imagine how much battery it uses to go 0-60 that fast... lol

Motor.
I believe you can get wheels accelerating fast enough to pull that off, but I'm not sure where you'd find tires that would both maintain traction and not shred themselves.

I was going to ask similar. How sticky must the tires be in order to
achieve that without peeling out and smoking them?

In order to get those times, you're going to have to have very soft and sticky rubber. They probably won't be good for more than a few trips down the track...lol

Good news, you outran the cops. Bad news, they are quickly approaching your car with its dead battery.

With a full change of tires and a battery recharge between heats. If you get a car like that with the hope of outrunning the cops, you will likely get the just rewards your stupidity deserves.

Reveal an engineering team that needed to push further.
Traction and impulse. It's going to be fun.

I remember the Car Talk guys talking to a parent saying not to hand down a BMW Z3 to a new driver due to acceleration vs skills. That Z3 went 0-60 in 6.8s, making it seem like my dad's '59 Rambler wagon compared to this.
