I'm only interested in a 0-60 time when I'm drag racing. 0-60 has nothing to do with trucking, no matter what Elon Musk thinks or says.
Understood, I thought it might be stand-in metric for the performance envelope. It worked for Fords 'n Chevys on airport runways in the 1950s. Isn't there a point where the cost for the driver's time and the cost of energy curves cross?

I drive a 1 ton car with 48hp/56lbf⋅ft. My 60-foot times are as good as anyones.
