You're not wrong, but not entirely right either.

They've not done it on a road surface from standing start. I know a reasonable amount about the tests that have been done to make those numbers, and Tesla require a foot rollout on VHT to get a 1.99/1.98 time. That's not the same as from standing on tarmac or concrete.

Rough rule of thumb is that starting from stopped on tarmac costs you about 25-.3s depending on conditions.
