The Tesla Model S luxury electric sedan will get an upgrade of its highest-capacity battery pack, from 85 to 90 kilowatt-hours, as well as a new optional high-performance mode called "Ludicrous" mode.
The news was announced today by Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk during a press conference (and followed one hour later by an update on the rocketry efforts of SpaceX, which he also runs).
Musk called the upgrade "pretty awesome," as is his wont.
In "Ludicrous" mode in both P85D and new P90D variants--it's above "Insane" mode, to be clear--the new software will reduce 0-to-60-mph acceleration from the current level of 3.1 seconds to 2.8 seconds, Musk said.
Its quarter-mile time is cut to 10.9 seconds, and maximum acceleration will be 1.1g--or, as Musk noted, "faster than falling."
