The New Tesla Model S P100D Is As Fast As A LaFerrari To 60mph
As if the P90D wasn't accelerative enough, Tesla's latest electric super saloon will blow internal combustion into next year
Tesla has confronted the supercar world with its latest development of the Model S: the P100D. A 10kWh hike over the P90D will see it accelerate from 0-60mph in a brain-scrambling 2.5 seconds, bringing the electric car on-par with the LaFerrari and Porsche 918 Spyder in terms of outright acceleration.
The 100kWh, four-wheel drive saloon will also achieve a range of 315 miles, the longest range of any production electric vehicle.
The P100D is estimated to be rather expensive (probably around the £100,000 mark), but Musk has justified the price tag by saying that the money made from the new flagship saloon will go into the production of the Model 3, the entry-level electric car that should retail for just $35,000.

Before acceleration: 👦
After acceleration: 💀
You forgot the “during acceleration: 😝” lol
When everyone who owns the LaFerrari for $2 million looks at a $35,000 Tesla
Tesla is not 35000
Hmm…
When you put your foot down
In all the drag races with the la fa and the p1. The p1 won. So 2.5 seconds for a la Ferrari seems rather unlikely. But well done Tesla
E-TEC kicked in yo!
Shocking!
Well I know a car that does even better an it is a diesel….
Uhhhh excuse me but you just said it’s acceleration is on par with the LaFerrari and the 918, but according to motortrend the laferrari goes 0-60 in 2.4 seconds while the official figure of the 918’s is 2.2 seconds making it the fastest accelerating production car in the world
Uhhhh excuse me, no.
The 918 and Laferrari are no longer in production. Also I think this acceleration figure is withoit ludicrous mode, so it will probably be even faster
Laferrari owners be like
Until you arrive to a corner.
Me, when I saw this article. And, yes: it does hurt like hell when I do that.
