The New Tesla Model S P100D Is As Fast As A LaFerrari To 60mph

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.
