Let's look at real life 0-60 or 0-100 experiences, they usually happen at stoplights where there's little time to activate launch control in most makes and models. I think this is what the Automobile Mag video shows. This is where the Tesla shines and will show its taillights to most cars on the road including a new M5. No matter how much the manufacturers try to eliminate turbo lag, it's not happening. Power is delayed and then comes on like a freight train. That's the beauty of an electric motor's torque, it's instantaneous and right at 0 rpms. Frankly neither the M5 or Model S is a track car...both would be embarrassed by a GT3 but then again that would be embarrassed by an open wheel car...
