    Ludicrous speed

    "Tesla’s Model S P85D is well known for its wonderfully named “Insane” mode, which tunes the car to go from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds.

    Not insane enough for you? Now the Model S is getting a “Ludicrous” mode. Seriously.

    The aptly named ludicrous mode will do 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, that acceleration pins you to the seat at a 1.1 Gs. “It’s faster than falling”, he adds. “It’s like having your own private roller coaster”"

        I have something which was officially called the 'Smoky Burnout' function but now seems to have been replaced by 'Launch Control.' A bit complicated to use and can't get get below 3.9 seconds
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Super acceleration, but not eco friendly. Give me V8/10/12 any day. Batteries not renewable. Have a look at the financing costs on the bleeding thing, too. Must say that it is superb engineering and Maserati styling.

                  You'd think he'd actually advise they sit back rather than just give them whiplash....
