The P85D has two electric motors, a new 221 horsepower motor in the front and the 470 horsepower one in back, generating computer-controlled, torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive that’s far more sophisticated and efficient than mechanical AWD systems. It’s also a more balanced and efficient power system than the rear-drive Teslas’ in general, not to mention more powerful, with a combined 762 horsepower and 713 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough juice to send the car to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. The car launches like a rail gun, thanks to the instant availability of all that electric-motor-sourced torque. There’s nothing quite like that particular thrill, the smooth acceleration of a pair of insanely powerful electric motors constantly at the ready, as though you’re always in the perfectly-selected gear. Even though the P85D is nearly 5,000 pounds, you do not feel that weight. (Though if they could indeed shave some of it off, there would be a commensurate bump in speed.) It goes like a stealth fighter, and corners like a champ, thanks to the low center of gravity from the heavy battery’s placement underneath the floorboards.
The big news here, you might have heard, is the just-announced P90D option, which has a slightly bigger battery and a new 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds. That also adds on a Ludicrous Mode button, and I have high hopes about that development. The forthcoming Model X SUV will have a similar motor arrangement, and its own Ludicrous Mode that will help the SUV score 0-60 times of 3.1 seconds, undoubtedly making it the fastest SUV in creation.
The point in all this is that embracing eco-friendly electric power generates a raft of “merely” collateral possibilities and potential: fast acceleration, low CG, regenerative braking tuned to permit single-pedal driving, minimized road noise thanks to the noise-and-vibration-absorbing battery’s presence, and tons of juice to power everything from that cinema-sized screen to the more-than-adequate A/C to the tunable electric power steering. Furthermore, it takes advantage of every innovation Silicon Valley has to offer — that screen I keep going back to,
the ability to add features and updates to the car over wi-fi with the click of a mouse, the forthcoming autonomous drive capability and more.
In short, this is the car that our best scientists and engineers would build today if there were no cars before them, and no long institutional memory that seems to dictate every new decision. It’s the car of the future, and I fully expect that one day, Tesla will be asked to drive one up to the Computer History Museum — rather than any car museum first — and leave it there on permanent display.
