A post from a while ago got me thinking about the stated acceleration time of the Model S in that it maybe low. I took a look at some other 'ev' vehicles to compare against and thought I would post this out of interest.
Based on my simplistic view, it seems likely that the Model S is either much heavier than 4000lbs, the available power is less than 300kw or it has the potential to accelerate from 0-60 faster than 5.6 seconds.
