And if you want to use your own argument against yourself, ask when you're going to meet an electric car that's brand new and 100% charged all the time. By the time they go through some charging cycles the battery is already starting to lose its capacity, and if you meet a Model 3 with 50% battery on the road, who says they'll be quicker?
People are getting high 2's even in the M3C xdrive. of course a lot of that depends on elevation and that sort of stuff. Right ive watched plenty of tesla drag race videos including the one that kicked off this thread and seen teslas even in controlled environments have bad launches. I think hes talkin about the rolling start figures on ICE cars. I think rolling start might be slower than just stepping on the gas from a dig with no launch control but im not entirely sure. I have a 2018 M240i xdrive now where the rolling start is supposed to be somewhere in the low 5s but it feels a lot faster than that from a dig w/o launch control
