Fans of the Tesla Model S, and also the scenery and terrain of Scotland, may appreciate the beautiful video posted below. It’s a Tesla fan video showing a Tesla Model S P90D traversing various parts of England’s northern neighbor. The video came to my attention through a comment by “ggnykk” on the Tesla Motors Club forum, who […]
Rave reviews are nothing new when dealing with Tesla’s Model S sedan and Model X SUV. It seems like many owners and drivers consider the two electric vehicle models to be the best of their class, and certainly the best that they’ve ever driven. On that subject, a commentator on the Tesla Motors Club forum […]
Brooks Weisblat of Drag Times recently posted a funny video of him challenging his son to grab a $100 bill from the windshield of his Tesla Model S P90D while accelerating rapidly… the incentive being that, if he could grab it, he could have it. The video’s worth a watch if you’re in the mood […]
Jay Leno and Tesla Motors have a bit of history, so to speak, so it might be a bit humorous for some to hear that the former late night talk show host has gone ahead and purchased a new Tesla Model S P90D. He apparently had to make a bit of an embarrassing phone call, […]
Owners of the Tesla Model S P85D who want to upgrade their ride to have “Ludicrous Mode” enabled are now able to place preorders for the process, according to recent reports. As it stands, these preorders are currently running at $7,500 a pop — with the hardware upgrade cost being set at $5,000 and the labor costs […]
Just how much faster does the Ludicrous Mode P90D seem during actual use than its predecessors? Say, as compared against the Insane Mode of the P85D, for instance? Does this matter, you might be asking yourself? Well, that depends on how obsessed with Tesla (and its cars) you are — those obsessed are no doubt […]
I went over to the Tesla Motors twitter account last night to see if I had missed anything new over there. While scrolling through the tweets, I saw so many cool things that I wanted to share but didn’t think were each worth a full article that I decided to put together this quick little “Tesla Tweets” […]
Earlier this year, someone discovered a Lotus Esprit Submarine “Easter egg” hidden in the Model S firmware system (note that CEO & Product Architect Elon Musk bought the Lotus Esprit at auction for $1 million). Elon Musk subsequently tweeted that they’d hide a new Easter egg in the code that wouldn’t take so long to find. Here […]
Via Gas2: Understanding and speculation regarding the purpose of the Tesla Model S referral program has been all over the place, but if you simply look at what Elon said in Tesla’s most recent conference call, it simply comes across as a test to see if such a program could replace Tesla stores and sales […]
The first Ludicrous Tesla Model S P90D reaction video we found on the interwebs was not of a great quality. I never would have shared it if it weren’t “the first.” This second reaction video is slightly better. Have a watch/listen: Testing Ludicrous mode, cant keep a cellphone straight 😉 A post shared by Saša Cvetojević […]
Originally published on Gas2. People who can tell the difference between a car that goes from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and one that goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds are possibly a very special breed. Aside from the tiny difference of 0.3 seconds, when you’re accelerating that fast, your senses and awareness get […]
Originally published on Gas2. We’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting… and looks like we won’t have to wait much longer. An Illinois resident noted yesterday that his Tesla Model S P90D (with the Ludicrous option… of course) is now “in transit.” Of course, others on the Tesla Motors Club forum (where he announced it) quickly requested that […]
People make a big deal of electric cars’ driving ranges, for good reason, so I thought it would be interesting to create a list of the electric cars with the most range (to supplement my list of the quickest electric cars to 60 mph, the most efficient electric cars, and my broader electric car list, which is […]
Almost immediately after the Ludicrous Tesla Model S announcement was made, people were wondering and asking what the short form of the car’s name should be (I’m going with Tesla Model S P90DL) and what the badge would look like. Jon Jivan quotes Tesla spokeswoman Alexis Georgeson as saying, “badges will be differentiated. P90D will simply be ‘P90D’ and the Ludicrous option will be […]
