Yes, electric vehicles go fast. Max torque at 0RPM will do that. That's why all the hypercars and whatnot went electric long ago. Gas engines have a torque curve where they apply very little power at the low RPM's. That's why we have gears. Electric motors do not have this issue.
Elon has absolutely zero to do with designing the car you love though, except for him fiddling around with the door handles to make them obnoxious and fighting to keep sensible technology like LIDAR out of the car for no reason. Give credit to the engineers who do the work--not the impossibly stupid rich kid who makes their lives miserable.
