Tesla Model S P100D. Brutal Acceleration!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Crazy performance comes as standard, but what's the car like to live with? We find out and manage to surprise our unsuspecting colleague with some monster acceleration!
Electric cars have long been seen as slow and impractical, but Elon Musk's Tesla Motors is changing all that. We spend some time with the Tesla Model S P100D - their most powerful car released to date - and see if this super-EV lives up to the hype!

Would you buy an EV?
If i have enough money hell yes!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah
nope
Lovecars had a leaf for a couple of days....range anxiety is horrid
As a second car for sure. Never as my only car!
For people who say “yeah but my car has a higher top speed”, so what. The fun part is the acceleration. When you fly in a passenger jet, do you find it more fun to be cruising at 500 MPH or during the takeoff? The acceleration is what makes it fun.
None of those people have a car faster than "Lucid Air" Electric 4 door Sedan. The stripped prototype achieved 235.44 miles per hour at TRC Ohio. The production version will be limited to 217 miles per hour. Lucid Air has 3 Motors total 1000hp. 2 Rear motors have a Geared CVT transmission that uses Compound Planetary Gears. Thus why it has different gear ratios. Who ever said BEV are not Outright Fast is now factually wrong.
Speed limits exist on the road. Speeding is illegal. Accelerating quickly to the speed limit is not.
Epic!! Would love a Tesla as a daily driver one day. I reckon Tesla must have caused a few uncomfortable board meetings at the likes of Mercedes, Audi, BMW headquarters. Love or hate Tesla, they have pushed the game on. 👍
"Love or hate Tesla, they have pushed the game on" - that's so true!
Once you drive a Tesla you'll never wanna go back to your old car.
i've done a full charge on autopilot on a P100D. it drove about 500km. very convenient and when i arrived to my destination, i was well rested, wasn't tired out from the drive
Mate...I love this ! I drove a P90D Model S with Ludicrous Mode about 18 months ago and it's still one of the most impressive cars I've driven. The instant torque is addictive :-)
You should have put a tenner on the dash and got Tom to try and get it ;-)
Thanks very much Peter! They certainally leave an impression, perhaps we'll use the tenner on the dash for the Model X? 😉
As a ~5 year Tesla S (2013 P85+) owner, I have to say that having the ability to charge at home makes the car basically a no-brainer. You start every day with a full charge, or at least as full as you want it to be. It's amazing! Best car I've ever owned.
What many people seem to forget is that you can charge it at home everyday, so you only need to find a charging station when driving more than 200 miles in a day. What is the percentage of people that on average drive more than 200 miles on a day. Very few I guess. Also, charging it is way cheaper than buying petrol.
When I an overnight charges only provided something like 40or 50miles which for most people is sufficient
Very true, the main hurdle is long distance driving, but as we say in the film, that's where the supercharger network comes in. 👍
Lovecars in Belgium you see many Tesla’s everyday. Probably also due to 120% fiscal deductibility that has been there for a few years. We have many charger stations as well.
I love how Tesla is so good in certain aspects of building a car, that people forgive them lacking overall build quality. Sat in a model x lately. Ludicrous(ly) expensive and still buttons of Mercedes from ten years ago. Kudos to the Elon gang.
Exactly what I was about to say. You should buy a Tesla if you can charge at home. Superchargers are for long trips and assuming you leave home fully charged, having a supercharger next to home is not so relevant (not at all in my view unless you are a commercial driver who needs to get back to business asap).
Just a btw, have a loko in a few days at my channel. I am going to start posting videos of my incoming Tesla Model S.
Right. You can. But you don't. Charge every couple days if you drive 40 mile commutes or so.
I’ve had a P90D with Ludicrous for just over 2 years now. You never tire of the acceleration - not just the sheer brute force but after a while you climb back into something with a clutch and gears and it feels like you’ve climbed into a Austin A40 that your grandad threw out because it was just, well, naff.... The charging bit is a mindset change - plug it in wherever you go, it’s cheap and you get very used to not pumping smelly diesel or petrol and paying £90 every time you stop. A word of warning though...... if your route passes Superchargers or, if there’s charging at your destination or, if your trip can be done in one charge then happy days. If you have to go off route to find a charger remember that a 15 minute detour becomes a 30 minute round trip which, when added to the 30 minute charge takes you up to an hour compared with a 4-5 minute fill up in a conventional car. I’ll never ever go back to patrol or diesel but it won’t suit everyone.
We are living in the future! Great review 👍🏻
Elon Musk certainly is! Thanks as always Nick. ☺
Well OF COURSE you get a charger at home! The Tesla charger isn't even expensive. If you can afford a P100D, you could buy the charger with pocket change. Once you have a charger in your garage, it takes 5 seconds to plug it in when you get home. Every morning I have a full tank. I daily drive a 2017 Model S, and I have yet to use a supercharger. Wonderful car.
That would certainally be the ideal scenario, although not necessarily possible for everyone. Some houses and apartments don't have garages or driveways, so if you're parking on the street it's not really practical. Another alternative is charging while at work, and some workplaces have begun installing EV charge points in their office car parks etc. As the technology develops, I'm sure even more options will become available!
I've never used or needed a supercharger either :)
+Lovecars My advice would be not to get an electric car if you do not have at the very least a 240V 13A supply you can plug the car into at night. That might sound harsh but really you are just making things difficult for yourself owning an electric car if you cannot charge it overnight.
Can’t wait until the Roadster 2020 comes out... P100D performance is kind of slow compared to the nuts specs the Roadster has. Try to do a video on that one if you have the chance! Nice review as always
They are going to be absolutely incredible if initial impressions are anything to go by! Would love to do a video on one of those sometime in the future. 😎
Incredible review as always Paul, and great shooting Tom! Tesla are lightyears ahead of anyone else, what a machine. 🤘🏽
Thanks very much Elliot! And agreed, they are super impressive bits of kit! 👍👍
Such a good review.....you have made me want one !
Thanks very much, it's made us want one too! 😎
I may be totally ignorant, but is this from a tv show? Or is this just a youtube channel, because if it's just a youtube channel the production quality on this video is stellar! Which is why I was questioning if it was a tv show. :)
Thank you for the kind words. We're only a very small low-budget UA-cam channel, but we're very passionate about what we do and it makes it all worthwhile when we get comments like this!
Is it bad that I haven’t even learned how to drive yet I know so much about Tesla’s that I’ll be teaching my dad how to use our model 3 when we get it? XD
Bad? That's awesome!
Where's Tiff? I think his honest opinion would make the video even better...
Andrew Drednaught we filmed this a long time ago. New Tiff video next week
Great revue, as always. The question of fully electric, hybrids and plug-in hybrids will rumble on for a while yet. The problem for us taking people back and fore to Heathrow Airport from South Wales is fitting in the charging schedule. We can't do it with passengers in the car, they want a quick journey. We had a new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and gave up after a year due to its limited overall range (petrol and hybrid). Of course finding a working charge point where someone hasn't parked across it was a problem. Also in a plug-in hybrid the small gain in range was cancelled out by having to pay the driver for waiting. We replaced it with a Lexus RX450h (we already had a Lexus GS300h), which makes the Mitsubishi feel like a lightweight (the rear lights let in water from new) and the range on the Lexus hybrid was much better. I hope the comments are useful. Regards, Bob
Fantastic insight Robert, thanks for watching as always!
Charge at home overnight and wake up to 300 miles of range everyday = easy.
Agree.... but.... what if you want to go 301 miles and there's no charger en route? :)
It's an incredibly impressive car. And for the right person with some structure in their life and a regular commute, it's PERFECT.
For me, not so much at this stage
Lovecars see the tesla super charger map and find 300 miles between 2. Not find ? So...
Yes that's brilliant... if there are superchargers where you live. If I want to travel to the South West of England or Central Wales (UK) there isn't a supercharger for 100+ miles away. And thats assuming you're going to drive straight there and back. It's just not ready for absolutely everybody's lifestyles just yet.
Lovecars let you think what you want
Thanks for letting us think what we want. We think the car is amazing. Absolutely incredible. But you have to have the infrastructure to support every driver and not just 60% of car owners. It's simple really.
It's so sad to see there are so many people who doesn't know how to drive a manual transmission car, think that it's so fun to drive a car with only 2 pedals.
The 90s dialup sounds scream futuristic ;)
Let's call it "artistic licence", we were going for a bit of a faux-futuristic 80s theme. ;)
Great review... Tesla model S is new luxury car designs for people in digital ages.
Thanks Muka, They're definitely an exciting window into the future of car design. They will only become more impressive as time goes on.
really nice piece of work you did with this video guys 👌🆒
Thanks very much, we appriciate it!
Great video! The Tesla cars are absolutely amazing. The future is finally here.
Thanks very much, they are truly impressive bits of technology!
Great to meet you at petrol peds meet and loving an amazing high quality video again 👍👍
Likewise with you! Look forward to catching up again soon and thanks for the kind words 👍
Charging: at the end you got it. You charge at home, you only need the superchargers for long drives. Waking up every day with a full “tank”... forget the ICE car mindset of needing to go somewhere the fuel up.
You're right, and I think it's that change in attitude that people often miss with EVs, for regular driving it's not an issue! Thanks for watching.
You don't need to install a dedicated wall charger if your home already has any 240V outlet, which I believe is standard in Europe. And even in the States with 110V outlets, most homes have at least one 240V dryer outlet, so nearly all home-owners are set. It's apartment dwellers that will have to rely on Supercharging.
Thank you. Home charging isn't the problem for me. It's the thought of being stuck in the middle of nowhere. Absolutely loved the car though and can't wait to get one (just not for a couple of years)
After the test of the S P85D I was blown away... After the test of the P90D I was even more blown away. Last year at Top Marques Monaco, I was completely wasted by the X P100... I wouldn't by a Tesla because I'm a noisy car guy but what a machine !
Le Billet Auto (LBA TV) people who still want noisy cars and motorcycles for the sake of noise reminds me of people like this: ua-cam.com/video/9LlA0_Hv3CQ/v-deo.html
Your video is the best!
Thanks very much!
Amazing review thank you.
You say you can plot in a route driving through Europe and the alps for charging stations, but that is also a problem.
I want to plot a route of where I actually want to go, rather than where I have to go in order to fill up.
And even though it is as you say powerful, I don't like the manner of which it delivers that power. Makes it less exciting.
The torque curve of a true sports car is so much more involving.
YOu share very similar sentiments to us. For us, the EV market isn't quite ready. It simply doesn't allow you the freedom that we personally need and enjoy. Really good point on the power delivery also.
yes yes yes, nice intro without the chickennuggets
Haha, glad you liked it! 😉
You said it's as fast (quick) as a ferrari, p1 or 918. Actually, it's quicker than all of those. The Tesla P100D ludicrous+ is the quickest street car to 60, period. You have to go custom to beat it.
An electric Rolls Royce would just be perfection...I mean people buy Rolls Royce's for luxory sou wouldn't it make sense to make the Phantom or any other car electric?
Would certainly be interesting! They're whisper quiet with V12 engines, so I could only imagine what they would be like with electric motors. 👍
Yep it's already being worked on by BMW/Rolls.

Great video mate
Thank you very much 👍
Tesla is on the right track..
Great review !!
The car is so attractive that you could easily spend the twenty minutes charging time just gazing at it.
We could design "charging stations" as picnic areas with swing sets and walking paths.
I love your comment. Going to use it in a video one day :)
What happens if your passenger has their seat reclined? Do they end up in the back seat?
Based on Tom's experience, quite possibly! 😂
You don't have to just use the SuperCharger network, there are many charge points available. Ludicrous mode is outstanding.
Great video 👍🏼
You never need to use the supercharger near your house, if you just plug it in at night at home! I do 20K a year in my S and used the supercharger 3 times a year. You don't even need the tesla one, any wall socket will add 100 miles over night.
Love this channel. Should really have many more subscribers. 👍🇦🇺
Thanks very much! We're growing slowly but surely. ☺
Mega, absolutely MEGA!!!
Nearly as mega as your username! 👍
Great Review BUT be aware when you say range is 300. I have a 75D Model X, in recent weather I am averaging 120 mile range against a projected 220 miles!!
Have you ever tried to ride a longer winding (and dry) track very sporty? Does the power remain or is the power reduced after some time? I drove Teslas, but I had no chance to try this.
Never tried one on track (other than Tiff with the Race Car). Hope to soon though
Excellent Video.
Thank you very much!
Love this car it looks in profile very like my Jaguar XF
When the superstructure is sorted then this will be the car to own, because like it or not this is the way the industry is going.In 10 years time you will be asking what is a petrol station.
Im just sorry they are stupidly expensive and why cant anyone else make an EV car do 300 miles?
I suppose like any new technology, they start at a high price point and become more affordable as the technology develops. Definitely a window into what will be the norm in 10 or 20 years time. 👍
Tesla is Daddy.
90D here, checking in ;D
Very nice, how are you finding it? :)
Much better than my 2014 P85. Better traction, better build quality.(2016)
Excellent, good to hear!
Looks like fun!
It certainly was! Thanks for watching. 👍
So refueling at house? That's more practical than going to a gas station.
The challenges for true green tech, is to see how the car disposal will be after.. 10 years? How much components are reusable, and when will renewable energy source put up to practice at a larger scale.
Creating a battery cause a lot of polution as well, and demand for battery will be so high with mass production of electric cars alongside other electronic gadgets that updates at a scary fast pace..
Great video thanks to you 😊
You know!! I like tesla cars model S and model x of cours
Although they are a magnificent machines... they are tooooo quite and what interests me considering high performance cars is that they have beautiful sound and that clicking out of the exhaust am sure we're gonna miss it so maybe we will find speakers instead of the exhausts in the futur cars or as you call it EV cars !!
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video. They are certainly missing the noise element that makes driving high performance cars so much of an occasion. It's actually quite strange being in something so quick that's also whisper quiet!
Once you get used to the quiet, you will think how stupid it is to actually want NOISE for the sake of noise.
Keep in mind that most EV drivers charge at home overnight, when electric rates are low, and they can have a "full tank" any morning. Charging at home is very convenient; like hang a petrol station at home. Most people don't use public chargers except on very long road trips.
Additionally, as EVs are adopted by the millions over the coming years, there will be millions of charging locations added, including for street parking, offices, shops, apartments, car parks, etc.
As EV owners are already finding, charging is much less of an issue than people make it out to be.
EVs are quicker, quieter, cleaner, more efficient and better to drive than equivalent class fossil fuel cars. They have instant and smooth torque. EVs have much more predictable responses and handling largely as a result of the highly consistent and broad RPM range of motor torque. They also require almost no maintenance. Due to their 3x energy energy efficiency, EVs cost about 1/3 as much to operate as an equivalent fossil car.
#Lovecars you haven't posted in a while we are hungry for more videos
How did we miss this nice comment! Thanks for this. More coming soon!
Those things have always been fast as hell (in a straight line) but there is just something soul-less about any EV. Apparently driving "something from the future" equates to driving a fancy and VERY fast golf cart. No thanks, I'll take a significantly slower but significantly BETTER car like an M5...
Let me guess, you have never driven a P100D?
How much does it cost to charge up from empty? How long did it take? This is definitely the future which is a shame for petrol heads.
Sceptic Frog it is free at Tesla charging points and it's about 30mins to get to 80% I think and the last 20% takes atleast the same again
Sceptic Frog - Depends on your electricity cost at home and the cost of gas, but generally about half the cost of gas per mile (not including maintenance savings, etc)
In the UK the Model S and X come with a free yearly charging credit on the supercharger network, but anything above that is charged at 20p per kWh. The P100D has a 100 kWh battery, so you're looking at about £20 to charge from flat to full!
Roughly $10 for 300 miles. Which is non comparable to the most efficient gas car.
I can see that you have your side mirrors adjusted incorrectly. FIX THAT.
Arnis Tarassu genuinely have absolutely no idea what you’re referring to 😮
Always find it slightly ironic how film makers seem to think throwing in a few 1980s fax machine noises is somehow futuristic...
We were going for a retro 80s faux-futuristic theme, hence the 80s inspired music. Hope you enjoyed the video regardless! ;)
Your video is 2 years too late. lol.
It may not be a brand new car, but we were keen to see what it was like regardless! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, but like I said, your video and info is two year too late. There are a thousand videos about this car that offer significantly more and higher quality information. You need to focus on videos that are fresh and provide QUALITY information. Nothing in your video was unique. I'm not hating, just giving feedback.
Thanks for the feedback, just to clarify, what would you define as higher quality information? Are you looking for stats and figures in a video or personal opinion?
Also you might enjoy our recent Vulcan video which was the first feature ever done on the road-going Aston Martin Vulcan. We get into the technical work done on the car with the project's lead engineer.
gimmick
It's a pretty impressive gimmick! 😉
My prius has better accelaratoon 😏
Fehzan Ahmed off a cliff??
Not sure about that one 😉
S P100D accelerates beyond 1G. Prius Falling of a CLIFF would need Boosters / Rockets to help go quicker than a P100D.
it might be fast, but it's build quality , fit & finish is still that of a fiat 500 or a hasbro/mattel kids toy. I can't wait for Benz and Porsche to make Tesla look like a joke...... AT THE SAME PRICE POINTS
I don't think it's toy car at all. Felt solid. Felt like quality... But bring on the competition. Only can be good news for us all.
Own it for awhile, you'll see when door panels are falling off, batteries, motors, power control units are going bad. Do a simple youtube search, brand new tesla vehicle with build quality issue all over the world. I have 3 reps that 2 traded them in for other vehicles because of all the issues and problems. 1 is a tree hugger and thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread... until she had a Enterprise VW jetta for 9 weeks waiting for a new power control unit and ECU to be replaced after leaving her on the side of the highway for over an hour. The other 2 had build issues, battery pack replaced, and the 1 with the X, all the doors locked and wouldn't open , Took the service center 5 weeks to fix it , he drove it off the parking lot 100 years, over to the Jaguar/land rover dealer and traded it in.
Fair enough! Thanks for the explanation and overview
Tesla Model S owners reported their car’s reliability has improved in Consumer Reports' latest survey, giving the EV sedan its first *above-average* rating.
