Top speed != 0-60

The car will not be produced until 2028. So if they have the three versions. Performance, thrust and rocket. Then the top rocket model with over the 308 mph top speed now should do it. They are saying they will get over 382 mph (mach 0.5). the production version has to be timed or given specs.

Does this resolve to Yes if the first version of the 2nd gen roadster isn't, but they update it and that's the fastest? Like what if it's effectively a "3rd gen" roadster that's fastest?

@rogs I was thinking first official published time for a production version of the car. Later upgrades or fancier editions don't count. But I could be convinced that's the wrong approach. Is there a "standard" here for measuring high performance cars? What would be most intuitive?

@EvanDaniel wait so by that standard even if the R2 is the fastest when it's released but then a subsequent Roadster is faster before 2032 this resolved No?

Or is the idea that if the R2 is fastest at any time before 2032 this resolves Yes immediately then?

@rogs My current thought is that we resolve as soon as we have a track time. If it's the fastest, resolves Yes. If not, No. If we're still waiting at close, resolves No. Suggestions welcome!

@EvanDaniel got it, that makes sense.
