More on the topic: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...theres-a-catch

Dodge Demon 0-60
W/ Rollout - 2.1
W/O Rollout - 2.3

Tesla S P100D 0-60
W/ Rollout - 2.28
W/O Rollout - 2.53

Reality... It doesn't matter if you aren't racing.

If you are looking for straight line performance per dollar you will have a very hard time beating a motorcycle. There are lots of bikes that will run 0-60 in less than 3 seconds for under $20K new.

EDIT. I have a BMW R1200RT touring bike. Apparently it will do 0-60 in 3 seconds.
