At the end of the article, he linked to a 2016 article of mine that I had forgotten about. It’s a simple listicle but it’s actually one of my favorite articles.

According to Motor Trend’s recent test, the Tesla P90D with Ludicrous Mode hits 60 miles per hour in a shattering 2.6 seconds.

Tesla’s P85D is quite the car, as I’m sure you’ve heard us state many times since its release. And we’ve posted quite a few videos showcasing the electric car’s impressive performance. But, have we ever posted a video of Tesla’s offering literally breaking a dynamometer (a “dyno,” a tool used … [continued]
As you may have noticed, people have been in awe of the Tesla Model S P85D, thanks to its pure, raw, electric power.
