I understand the Performance is expected to clock in at 4.4 sec for the 0-60 while the base S is expected to achieve 5.6 for the 85kWh battery. What should we expect for the 0-30 for each of these models? This would be a helpful calculation.

Car and Driver said the Roadster is 1.7s 0-30. So if you apply the same ratio you would get 1.9s in the sport and 2.45s in the standard. Both numbers are quite fast for a sedan.
I did drive the Tesla Roadster and its great. The only knock I have was the braking didn't seem enough like my Porsches.
Heh, Elon tweeted today "Model S Performance powertrain produced so much torque today that we broke the dyno. 4.4 sec 0-60 mph will not be a problem".

Must not have been the same dyno used for the Roadster, eh?
They need to go to a muscle car shop. They have dynos that'll handle it.
