Tesla Model D To Be Almost As Fast As A Charger Hellcat

The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk has finally put an end to rumours of what the much-anticipated 'Model D' might be. We now know that the 'D' isn't a new Tesla model at all but stands for dual-motor, meaning that the current Model S will now be available with four-wheel drive.

There will also be a super-fast P85D, dual-motor four-wheel drive version of the Model S which will have a faintly astonishing 682bhp and 930Nm of torque. It's set to be the fastest accelerating four-door production car ever.

This means a 0-62 time of just 3.2 seconds, a full second quicker than the current Model S. It also manages 1g of lateral acceleration. Musk himself calls it 'insane'.

But the Hellcat won't turn into an expensive paper weight when the batteries die

And when would that be? When it's time to rebuild that dinosaur heap of metal from the 19th century called an engine?

Simply outstanding. Wish I could afford one.

Isn't it faster than a Charger Hellcat from 0-60? (assuming all stock)

the only thing i dont like about this car is the exhaust note cant be compared to the hellcat. well that and the price.
if this car came down in price it would make sense getting one.
still think the fisker karma looked A LOT better than the tesla.
