New Model Tesla P85D goes 0-60 mph in 3.2 Seconds!
The new P85D looks almost exactly like the regular Model S but under the skin it's added a new motor that sits between the front wheels and with four wheel drive it'll be great for people in the northern climates where ice and snow wreak havoc on driving during the winter months.
Musk says the car is "nuts." And he seems to love it. "It's like taking off from a carrier deck," he says. And it will be even more efficient than the current Model S, going about 275 miles on a single charge thanks to a newly designed system that shifts power between the two motors so each one operates at peak efficiency.
Musk also noted at the unveiling of the new model that all Teslas now come with new safety technology that allows them to avoid danger automatically by practically driving themselves. Adaptive cruise control has been added along with the car's capability to understand speed limit signs ahead and stop itself if it determines there will be a crash.
Musk also said the new cars will include a radar system that can see through snow and fog and spot pedestrians, traffic lights and signs. To top it all off, the cars will be able to park themselves in your garage.
All versions of the Model S will be available as D models. Prices for the Model S with a 60kWh battery will run from $71,070 to $75,070 for the two motor system. The Model S with an 85kWh battery will be priced from $81,070 to $85,070, and the top of the line Performance Model S will sell for between $105,570 to $120,170. Deliveries of the P85D should begin in December 2014 and all other models in February 2015.
