Whole load of stuff all over the web if you want to read more, but basically that thing does 0-60 MPH in 3.2 seconds, much like a lot of supercars. When you see it in a video though (let alone experience it for real, would LOVE to) it is completely fucking bonkers because it's so quiet. I still think electric cars need to emit sounds just for safety reasons and I sure as shit prefer to hear the sound of an engine growling, but this is still impressive. I just can't wrap my head around it, a fucking rollercoaster makes more noise

They really are pushing the limits now Surprised

Tesla is going to "push the limit" on what's legally allowed for self-driving cars. These new models can park themselves, and even (while on private property) summon the car, and it will slowly drive to where you are, or park itself in the garage! As Elon promised yesterday, this is already out there -- every car built in the last two weeks is already packing the sensors, and the autopilot features will be delivered in an OTA software update. To get the highest performance out of the P85D, owners will opt for "insane" mode.
