      You’ve never driven one have you? Electric motors are crazy powerful and it’s all torque. My Prius can accelerate faster than my Tacoma. What you are seeing in people driving a Prius is trying to save gas by not accelerating hard. Just because they often don’t doesn’t mean they can’t when it’s needed.

        The fastest Prius on the planet is 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. The slowest Tesla on the planet is 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.

        “Faster than my Tacoma”. Is it also faster than your mountain bike? Lol

            Last I checked Tesla makes 2 SUVs.

            No one can brag about the acceleration of a Prius with a straight face.

              You are being INTENTIONALLY obtuse at this point. They were comparing the Prius to a regular SUV. That’s literally why they pointed out the difference of an electric motor being all torque.

              Read the room, look at context. It’s ok, we all had to grow up once.

                Are you having a stroke? They said SUV. The #1 selling SUV in the world is the model Y you dolt. STFU.

        This is objectively false. Unless you can prove that someone’s foot can change a cars 0-60 time.

          Right, that Blimp person does not know how to drive obviously. As if every car has unlimited acceleration potential that can be simply unlocked by the human foot.

            “0-60 times have almost nothing to do with how fast people choose to accelerate.”

            I just want to let this marinate for a bit. Yes, it smells exactly like pig shit. Thanks for the laugh!
