Tesla Model S: Faster Than Ever
The Tesla Model S P85D is a technological tour de force: with 687 pound-feet of torque available at 0 rpm, the car can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, which is fast enough to beat more than a few supercars.
It seems that this was not enough for Elon Musk; the Californian entrepreneur just announced that the electric sedan will receive a few important updates. Starting immediately, a new battery will add up to 24 kilometres of range; while current Model S owners can fit their car with the battery, Mr. Musk advises against it, as the price isn’t worth it.
