Tesla first to 100kWh Battery

According Tesla today, they are now building the fastest 0-60 sedan in the world, beating out Porsche and Ferrari. Today people can now order the P100D with Ludicrous mode! This allows this 7 passenger sedan 5 adults / 2 kids to hit 60 in 2.5 seconds according to Tesla's own Blog. The Tesla X P100D can hit 60 in 2.9 seconds. The battery is 300 miles in Ludicrous mode and 315 miles in normal mode.

Tesla says all S and X orders not delivered can upgrade to the 100 battery pack for $10,000 and existing S and X can upgrade for $20,000 to the 100 battery pack. The higher upgrade fee on existing owners is due to disposal of the 90 battery pack.

Tesla goes on to also say that this helps fund development of the Tesla 3.

Interesting that I found in their blog section that the P100D has been talked about since April 13th of 2016.

Plenty of people were interested in it then.

I always thought that there would be room for custom tuners and now I see we have a first one that is focused on Tesla.

They have all types of custom packages from internals for the cabin, wheels, and more.
