4.3 seconds to 60. Down from 5.5, with what they say are software and hardware changes. On the lower end, base car. No details yet on what those changes are.

Yes, this is still an expensive car by most standards. But if this massive gain in performance does not make you raise an eyebrow, am not sure why you are here...

To recap:

Model 75: 4.3 seconds down from 5.5 seconds

Model S 75D: 4.2 seconds down from 5.2 seconds

Model S 100D: 4.1 seconds down from 4.2 second

Model X 75D: 4.9 seconds down from 6.0 seconds

Model X 100D: 4.7 seconds down from 5.2 seconds.

Wow, Musk is really working hard to make sure the Model 3 doesnt do harm to the Model S.

“Caymanism.”

Omg, is that a thing? That is hilarious, and sounds about right. The latest hot Caymans I’ve seen don’t seem to leave a lot for the big cat.

Did Porsche drop the base 911's 0-60 time as intensely? I mean this is quite an improvement, which in a gas car requires adding cylinders or a turbo. Usually this is a new model.

I’ll have to look into that actually! I just found it funny that the Cayman GT4 seemed to get us close to the Cayman we all wanted then BAM!! Becomes the 718, now cheaper than a Boxster, and 4-cyl only while the 911 goes turbo 6-cyl across the entire lineup with the base Carrera nearly matching the Cayman GT4 in power with only like a 200 lb weight increase over its top spec little brother.
