    Prius. Teslas are way too large and heavy for my tastes.
    Though preferably I’d swap my VW Up to an electric one, they were too expensive back when I got mine.

    As for the acceleration figure, I took it from this review:

    We haven’t tested a standard Tesla Model S for some time, but a 2020 model that we ran through our instrumented test regimen reached 60 mph in a blistering 2.4 seconds. You can expect roughly similar performance from the current standard Model S today. The gonzo Plaid version, which boasts a third electric motor and 1020 horsepower, reached 60 mph in just 2.1 seconds in our testing.
