Resource DragTimes published on its channel videos of the race between the two models Tesla Model S - P85D and P90D. The difference between electric cars is that the older version (P85D) uses at race speed mode Insane Mode, and more new (P90D) - анонсированный Elon Musk this summer Ludicrous Mode. In terms of numbers the difference between the two modes as follows: Insane car accelerates to 96 km / h in 3.2 seconds, while the newest Ludicrous handles the same task in 2.8 seconds. Judging from the video, despite the seemingly insignificant difference in time, P90D leaves his younger brother far behind almost immediately after the start.

This difference is costing owners Tesla in a large enough amount of: Equipped already available at the hands of Model S to Ludicrous Mode costs $ 5000, and the purchase of a new model with the speed mode will increase the price tag of at least $ 10 000.

As the speed of the electric vehicle is limited by the force of the current, which can be safely removed from the batteries (about 1300 Amps), the win ensured Ludicrous Mode designed Tesla предохранителем with built-in electronics. It is able to disable the enhanced mode power supply in case of exceeding the required level of current.

Additional interest in the competition of the two models Tesla provides previously published a video where the race suit P85D regime Insane Mode and the Lamborghini Aventador.
