Tesla Eats Into Ferrari And Lamborghini Territory! by IdaraCHODB(m): 11:14pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
I hate electric cars, but Tesla is making me have a rethink. Here is why! Ludicrous Mode on the high-powered P85D all-electric sedan As far as Nigeria is concerned, electric cars are almost a dream. If you want to merge onto the highway from a dead stop in less than three seconds, you no longer have to buy a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Tesla will now offer a "Ludicrous Mode" on its high-powered P85D all-electric sedan. That car already offers an "Insane Mode" that allows it to blast from zero to 60 miles/hour in just 3.2 seconds. With the "Ludicrous Mode," the new Tesla Model S P90D will get to 60 in just 2.8 seconds. This latest improvement is something Tesla is offering simply because it's possible, Musk said, not because there was customer demand for more speed. "Nobody was asking for 'Ludicrous Mode' because it was too ludicrous," Musk said during a conference call. The Insane Mode had already put Tesla's seven-seat sedan in a league with high-end two-seat sports cars, known for extreme acceleration. Tesla limits the car's top speed to 155 miles an hour. To enable the extra speed, Tesla (TSLA) made engineering improvements to the car's electronics. These changes allow power to be drawn out of the car's battery pack more quickly, making for faster acceleration.
