Elon Musk took the lid off his personal madness with the Tesla Model S P85D, the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive silent screamer with 691 horsepower and 686 lb-ft of torque. As if that weren’t enough, the totally electric D provides an “Insane Mode,” which unleashes the car’s full accelerative prospective and enables a launch-handle function for maximum thrust.
Musk said he benchmarked the McLaren F1 as the D’s acceleration target. With a zero-to-60-mph run that we estimate at 3.2 seconds—from a full-size luxury sedan that weighs nearly 2.5 tons, mind you—we’d say he nailed it, particularly taking into consideration that is the precise time we accomplished with an F1 we tested in 1994. What does all that massive, dyno-befuddling, Hellcat-humiliating torque do to unsuspecting passengers? The people at DragTimes just had to uncover out, and, clearly, nobody’s ready for the D.
Warning: There’s a lot of shocked cursing in this video, and it’s not protected for unsuspecting ears or playing loud at your office. You have been warned.
