The reason that Tesla is limited to a 0 to 60 mph of 3.2 seconds is that
you can only get about 1 g of acceleration on the street. The
coefficient of friction (on regular pavement) is a little less than one.
I'm guessing that the 2 second 0 to 60 mph time is calculated using a
simplistic formula based on 3000 HP and 8000 lbs, and not actually
measured.
Zero to 60 mph in 2 seconds would be 1.36 g's, which would mean
that the coefficient of friction (traction) would have to be 1.36 or
greater. You only get that much traction on the drag strip or on
specially prepped pavement.

This vehicle is the most powerful electric car in the world, and can hit
speeds as high as 372 miles-per-hour. The team is hoping to take it for a
record-breaking run this summer

Student engineers at the Ohio State University's Center for Automotive
Research (CAR) have examined every part of the 12-meter electric car,
including an expanse of cables that totals nearly 3.5 miles. It is 12 meters
long, and contains 2,000 cells within eight battery packs

It can go from 0 to 60 in just two seconds. This compares to Tesla's 'Insane
Mode' on its Model S electric cars that goes from 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds.

In 2010, the Venturi team set a world landspeed record with an earlier
model, the [VBB-2.5], reaching 307 mph.
