Well again it's semantics. Quick and fast are non-technical terms and (sadly) most people don't understand the distinction between acceleration and velocity vectors. In the context of cars, quick and fast may attain different and specific definitions (in which case they actually become technical terms). But I'd argue that it's not yet so well defined. As is good practice, one should consider the audience when communicating. So to say, "The Tesla Roadster is
quicker than a Ferrari." with out further clarification to the general public is still misleading, in my opinion.
