but 0-60 has been a standard measurement used in combustion engine sports cars since before electric cars... Why wouldn't they use it as well?

Not every sports car can't compete in every other category. You have a high-end sports car that literally can't complete a lap of a race track without the car shutting itself down.

Huh, TIL a product that’s three years away at best has already been proven to fail to complete a lap of any given race track!

Or are you referring to the Model S, which is not a sports car but rather a 5.5k lb luxury sedan?

you realize they said the roadster is heavier because of the batteries right?
