That's why a number of Model S reviews say they get 4.0 seconds is when they do a rollout with it also.
In a video accompanying the article they actually say 3.9 seconds...

The comments on the MT blog are scary. Can there be that many people who are complete idiots? When I see such an impressive display of stupidity I'm always reminded of H.L. Mencken's quip: No one ever lost any money underestimating the intelligence of the American people. Or are these people just frightened by the changes that are coming?

There's usually a barrage of idiotic comments on any EV story, positive or negative, that appears in the mainstream press. There are a number of us who spend a bunch of time refuting the ridiculously ignorant statements. I don't do it expecting to change the minds of any of the idiots, but I like showing there's another side to anyone who has an open mind.

I thought the Cadillac CTS-V sedan was the fastest American sedan?

World Exclusive! 2012 Tesla Model S Test and Range Verification - Motor TrendIn our testing the CTS-V is capable of consistent 4.0-second 0-60 mph times no matter the body style and transmission
3.9 < 4.0When we crunched the numbers (with no weather correction because the car doesn't ingest air), the car's 0-60-mph time was 3.9 seconds
