Why is there a discrepancy between the acceleration times measured by some media outlets and the official data?

Official answer

To fully eliminate interference factors at the moment of launch, such as tire slippage and driver reaction time, excluding launch time from 0-100 km/h acceleration tests is a common method in the industry that more purely reflects the vehicle's inherent capabilities. Media tests typically include launch time, and during the process, tire condition, road surface conditions, climate, and driver reaction all affect acceleration performance, resulting in slight discrepancies in the measured data.

In media tests, the Xiaomi SU7 Max achieved a 0-100 km/h time of 3.09s (official: 2.78s). In the same venue, the Tesla Model S Plaid achieved 2.73s (official: 2.1s), and the Porsche Taycan Turbo 2022 model achieved 3.44s (official: 3.2s, including launch time).
