Hi Raymo,

A U.S. colleague owns a Tesla Model S P85D (circa late 2015) which will
do 0 to 100kmph in around 2.9 seconds.

You can find no shortage of acceleration reaction videos, such as this one, on YouTube :-

A Ferrari 458 will out do a Tesla P85D over a quarter mile.
But the enormous torque provided by the electric motor of the
Tesla P85D's provides initial acceleration in a different league :-

In May this year, a Chinese NIO EP9 all-electric supercar broke the Nurburgring lap record :-
