When the next-generation Roadster was unveiled back in late 2017 with the Tesla Semi, Elon Musk announced that it would be a vehicle with a 0-60 mph time of 1.9 seconds. At the time, such figures were already insane, but they were achieved several years later by the much larger and much heavier Tesla Model S Plaid, which could perform a 1.99-second 0-60 mph run under ideal conditions.
As per Musk, the new Roadster would have a 0-60 mph time of less than 1 second. But even more interestingly, such performance would be one of the least interesting parts about the vehicle, Musk noted. As per Auto Express, the fastest 0-60 mph time for production cars as of early 2024 goes to the 1,011 bhp Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, whose farewell is marked with an impressive 0-60 mph time of 1.66 seconds.

Tesla targeting sub-1 second 0-60 mph time with new Roadster: Musk
Elon Musk noted that Tesla is targeting an absolutely insane 0-60 mph time of less than 1 second with the new Roadster.
Winter is almost over — at least when it comes to the clocks. On March 10, 2024, most Americans will mark the start of "Daylight Saving Time" (DST) by moving their clocks ahead an hour. The time change will result in a loss of sixty minutes of precious sleep or play time on Sunday. However, it will allow for longer days during the spring and summer months.
