So no production car ever has been able to get below 2 seconds 0 to 60.""This is a luxury sedan that is able to go 0 to 60 in less than 2 seconds and will have the ability to seat up to seven people with the third-row seats. So this is pretty nice. This is faster, to be clear, than any car."

"It's not like there was a different type of car, like a two-door sports car that was able to do that faster. This is the fastest accelerating car ever made for -- that is allowed to go on roads in history. And like I say, we'll start delivering it in a matter of weeks.""We will be actually raising the price of Model S for these new models, so people -- because the old model -- the new model will be $10,000 more. So, hopefully, people aren't too upset if they bought the old model last month, but this one is 10k more," Tesla CEO said.
