+compfreak I think it's an aftermarket straight pipe set-up with catalytic converter elimination & equal length headers... I'm not sure if it's street legal. :-/
+expat74 There are plans for a new Roadster. Battery tech has come quite a way over the past years, and the Roadster would not need to be a ~$100k car like the sedan and SUV. They could spend that amount EXTRA on high-end batteries and make a really light car that still goes a good distance. I wonder if they'd still use standard "D" motors, or something special for that as well. Can any significant weight be saved? More power seems useless. More battery cooling however would be necessary to get some good constant power output. Model S is not perfect in that respect. Rimac claims to have done a lot with cooling.
Cloxxki Well for one thing, Tesla has used the best lithium ion batteries available as far as I know. What improvements come from is higher energy density from many small improvements over time, amounting to ~5% per year higher energy density. There really isn't a way to just pay more for a battery to be more dense or lighter since they already constantly use the best tech available, unless you are spending the money on research and development to make improvements over time slightly faster. I agree that the next gen roadster should definitely have a better cooling system though. *warning speculation ahead* Any improvement they do not implement to batteries would likely be because the added price outweighs the benefit or they would have to make large changes to manufacturing.
drove a P90D in Ludicrous mode today at Sydney Motorsport park. they are bloody unreal!! and they actually handle great too.. makes the roller coaster acceleration even more fun on track.
+FpsNorwayFighter I wouldn't doubt it. They'll get there! The incremental increase is due to slowly-increasing battery energy density as the cells continue to be developed. Actually, the Model S battery pack can probably already store over 100 kWh of energy if it were fully charged to 4.2V per cell, it's just that they don't fully charge the battery and don't fully discharge it. Operating the pack this way lengthens it's lifespan.
+FpsNorwayFighter Model S going to be doing 500-600 miles by 2018 so gonna have to have a lot more juice in there somewhere. More than 100. i would suggest a battery that can store 180 - 200Kwh. If the drive shafts can stand it you'd have to be looking at under 2 secs then.
DevonBloke That's always an interesting side effect of increasing the battery capacity--for a given pulse C rate, increasing the capacity also increases the power. They're gonna have to build a car with four rear wheels to get it all down :) Another interesting property of electric vehicles is that they can be huge and heavy (very long range per charge) and still be very energy efficient. The electric motor is about three times as efficient as a gas engine.
i hope that next gen model will have a better acceleration after 120mph, ye it accelerates rly fast but if it keeps the same acceleration after 120mph any other sport car will be ridiculous
After a few years, you will see that the electric vehicles will take the energy asphalt to the private roads and the vehicles will go to very long ranges on this track the car will take the current by carrying the special current band from the vehicle floor which will be like the colliding cars and the rest will be easy and the furnished current banded strips going into this asphalt will also be the rightmost strips and the rightmost strip will be used to strengthen the sides. it will be half a hour to have fast-paced the vehicle from the right hand lane. the idea is my name namikgecko turkey
It is fast, but it doesn't sound very cool. Sort of a ninjasword, but without the ninja. Like a Desert Eagle AE .50 but without the 5 lbs gun it self, only the bullet, like something is missing. Anyway, anyone knows how much juice from the batteries an accelleration like that takes? 10%?
+Sgt_Bepps Why does the sound even matter? Because people want to sound "manly" while driving? Who invented this "My car has to be cool looking, pricey, noisy and smelly" attitude.
i think this sound cool enough .... i fancy the idea of going fast without much sound.... perfect for running over the ex-wife in silence at night, when she is using the pedestrain crossing (much less witnesses if it's silent) ... also perfect for a more serene drag race, without alerting the cops ... silence is golden !!!
+Sgt_Bepps To put things in technical terms, who gives a flying fuck what it sounds like. It's quiet because it's energy efficient--the battery power goes almost entirely into propelling the car instead of producing heat and noise. I've always enjoyed the sound of internal combustion engines myself, but I'll be the first to admit that the sound they make is pure wastefulness, and I don't know why people are so hung up on it, nevermind the need they have to complain about the lack of it in electric vehicles. The quiet zing of a Tesla electric vehicle is the sound of a highly efficient, zero-emission, yet stunningly quick car--a truly modern vehicle and one of very few. It has a plenty cool sound of it's own--but that's hardly the point.
+Pumilio I'm trying to shoehorn that into my brain as well. The noise of an IC engine isn't "the sound of power"; it's just wasted energy. I like engine sounds too, but I wish people would get it through their thick skulls that it's not power at all, it's waste.
+occckid123 Really! :D That's what most reviewers and "experts" do wrong. They either gently roll on the "gas" or press brake and gas at the same time and release the brake pedal to launch, which the Tesla doesn't like and yells at you, because of the high torque the motors produce. Therefore, the best way to launch a dual motor Model S is by hovering your foot over the accelerator and the stomping as hard as you can. The stability and traction control will distribute the power between front and rear motor. And bam, best launch. In the video, in some run, he rolls on the accelerator. If the car is "jumping", you now it's right. That's the high torque. :D
+PDriveTV www.motortrend.com/news/2015-tesla-model-s-p90d-ludicrous-upgrade-first-test-review/ That car is equipped with a launch control thats how u get under 3.0 secs they also Use Vbox in their test and they got 2.6 secs
It was tested 0-60 by Motor Trend 2.6 seconds. 0-100 kph should have been around 2.8. that being said most users are reporting right around 3.0 to 3.2 0-100 kph. A lot has to do with the road conditions and grad. This road seems plenty flat but when batteries are warmer the tends to perform slightly better.
+PDriveTV Was the battery fully charged mate? My P90D does 2.8 100km/h at 99% battery. But I see your car has a glass sunroof making it ~100kg heavier. May I suggest you redo the test for the sake of science?? Thanks
+Sassymui8 Hi, it was about 50% charge. Like all cars we review, we performed 0-100km/h a number of times using different take-off methods and so on. 3.2 is the best average we could achieve. Conditions were warm. Tarmac is completely flat and smooth (different to road shown in video).
Sick exhaust sound
+compfreak I think it's an aftermarket straight pipe set-up with catalytic converter elimination & equal length headers... I'm not sure if it's street legal. :-/
+compfreak What exhaust?
facts
Dude stop rotating your camera when showing the cars, just find another way to make a transition from one scene to another... its giving me headaches
Wow. Imagine the next model with shit your pants mode.
+expat74 Maximum Plaid
+expat74 I'm waiting for explosive fecal incontinence mode
i hope next model have "Maxium attack mode" :3

Thanks for choosing such cool music for this video. It really fits the Tesla well!

and they actually handle great too..
makes the roller coaster acceleration even more fun on track.
Omg the engine sounds so fricking good
Really like how you gave all stats...everyone seems to think we know them all by heart or something...
Do you have another swooping shot of the car then the asphalt? Really digging these shots.
Awesome!! I want it
What an aweeeeeeeeefull video. New cameraman needed
Do you think Tesla gonna release a 100 kW package ? Tesla P100D just sounds so good.

I pissed myself when i heard the leaf drop.
This is ridiculously quick ... wow
listen to the tyres gripping hard at 2:15
The leaf before the launch😂
You have to get your hands on a p100D!
Very it Video Good Love Thanks 🚘🚘
You've got to have huge spaceballs to drive in ludicrous mode.
3:30 available distance 319 →316
Where is this music from ?
I dunno, and I hate it.
2:14 for actual take off
Is that a special license plate just for EV's?
i hope that next gen model will have a better acceleration after 120mph, ye it accelerates rly fast but if it keeps the same acceleration after 120mph any other sport car will be ridiculous

recharge your battery after a few launches, fun.
you forgot to rev it lol
+CoziHasSauce
There's no clutch or neutral gear so good luck with that :)
@@BasementEngineer Clap clap for the handicap.
@BasementEngineer r/woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
hypersport performance in a 4 door sedan
It is fast, but it doesn't sound very cool. Sort of a ninjasword, but without the ninja. Like a Desert Eagle AE .50 but without the 5 lbs gun it self, only the bullet, like something is missing. Anyway, anyone knows how much juice from the batteries an accelleration like that takes? 10%?
+Sgt_Bepps Why does the sound even matter? Because people want to sound "manly" while driving?
Who invented this "My car has to be cool looking, pricey, noisy and smelly" attitude.
A good question. I think it has to do with a very primitive need, like, to master the fire.

One of the heaviest passenger sedans ever built.
Doesn't seem to bother it much though :)
It's on got 1 speed so it doesn't have to change gear like normal cars . So it makes it up being heavy
Ben Chesterman
Well, that certainly helps, but it's not what I was getting at. It has an extremely high power to weight ratio.
I mean 1 speed doesn't disadvantage it's weight
速過ぎて、ワタシなら運転しながら悶絶する事でしょう…
Sounds like a golf kart
Starts on 2:15
video starts at 2:15
p90d in ludicrous mode is 2.9 not 3.2
It's 3.2 to 100.
its shocking fast!!!!!!!! with my hand clock is 3.5seconds!!! is very very fast i want one now!!!!!! how much 90000 dollars????
was this with launch control?
+occckid123 There is no launch control
+occckid123 Launch Control is stomping the pedal hard.
+Metalbird1997 lol

2.7 secs to 100 kmph
This car is electric that's why there's no exhaust sound or anything
2:37
Great video! First! ;)
why doesn't he engine sound
Doesn't have an engine
It's a electric
+Jackson Higgins
yes, i know.
but i mean fake electric sound, for the fun...
wow they can't even fully charge it
it should be 2.6 sec to 100kp/h
+Angel Muñoz Hi, Tesla quotes 3.0 seconds 0-100km/h on its website. The best average we could achieve (using Racelogic VBOX Sport) was 3.2 seconds.
+PDriveTV www.motortrend.com/news/2015-tesla-model-s-p90d-ludicrous-upgrade-first-test-review/

Jedop you kidding right ?
slingshot
Camera work sucks. Sick car tho
100000th view :D
All electric cars sux . They are only for city driving.
Unimpressive. I would hate to drive this ugly thing. It may be fast but there is no wow factor. No range. This is impractical.
+Charles Runyon Ugly? It's a sedan not a race car what do you expect. 250 to 300 miles isn't good enough for you lol
+Charles Runyon Ugly? This car is beautiful!
