Tesla Model S P85D will be able to accelerate from 0 to about 100 km / h in just 2, 8 seconds





The company Tesla announced that the Model S will be a new mode, called "Ludicrous" (an absurd, ridiculous). Now electric vehicle can accelerate from 0 to about 100 km / h (0 to 60 miles / h) in just 2, 8 seconds. Earlier electric car can accelerate to the same speed for 3, 1 second. Previous operation called «Insane» (crazy).

According to Elon Musk, the acceleration in this case is 1, 1G, which is more than the acceleration of gravity. "It's as if you had your own roller coaster," - commented news mask.

To activate this mode, the owner of Tesla Model S will have to not just update the software, but also to modify the "iron", not free. Why is that? The fact that to obtain such a result Tesla had to develop new equipment, including - a fuse that is not melted when it is fed through the high amperage.

Upgrading to the new configuration will cost $ 10 thousand for new buyers and $ 5,000 for existing owners of the electric vehicle.

Musk also announced two updates:

1. Model S 70, a new 70 kWh model for $ 70,000;
2. The new 90 kWh battery for $ 3,000.

Unfortunately, on the Model X was presented very little detail. The only thing that is said - Model X will be available within 2 months. A Model 3s will be available in two years.

And a bonus - a video that showed reporters before the presentation.
