Tesla announces Model S Ludicrous upgrade, 90-kWh battery Ludicrous speed? So, take this drivetrain, 762 HP now, gears, and a light body (probably carbon fiber), cooling, suspension, new braking system, and good downforce and you've got the car with a lot of tech available today. Only new...

What if they've already been working on it either directly or indirectly with a super light skateboard for the model 3? They may already be really close, the main thing they'd have to solve is the cooling issue, others than that, the tech is already available. The biggest roadblocks to me for...

Could the new roadster hypercar be released late 2016 or early 2017? I think there are many reasons why Tesla is likely to release this car before the Model 3. If they don’t, hey, it’s still fun to dream, but it would be really cool if this becomes a reality and I think Tesla can make it...

Has anyone tested the 1/4 mile time since the update to a faster insane mode? Also, at one point, there was talk of a more responsive, faster "mid-range" 60-120 or 60-90, that was in addition to the top end update and the 0-60 update, do we know if that's still coming and if so when? Final...

That really depends on the methodology the software team employs. With Lean/Agile processes, (not saying they're using these methodologies but I wouldn't be surprised if they were), quick, small, iterative releases are the defacto standard and recommended, especially when experimenting with new...

You're right, the other car is rear wheel only, but has 750 HP, Drag slicks, and 1800 lb ft of torque. Rain would be a big help but I assume we would reschedule if that's the case because I'm pretty sure the P85D would win big time in that situation. :) Common Elon, need that software update :)

I sure hope you're right! I just got challenged by a rear wheel drive custom electric car at cars and coffee today for a 1/8th mile race at a nearby drag strip and that will be happening at the end of this month or early March. On paper, I'm in trouble with 0-60 at 3.1, gonna need to get into...

Wow, coming from you, that's strong praise, can't wait to hear more details! I wonder if they're testing two different solutions head to head, .139 vs .140. So far my wife's P85D hasn't received an update to .140, she's still at .139. They could just leave them as is and collect data on both...

It would be great if it could be in all modes, agreed that's the most optimal choice (looks like you were the one that posted the comment I read this about earlier in the thread :), but it might cause a slight delay, that while not that noticeable on the interstate, might still be sub-optimal...

I was hoping they wouldn't add a "normal" button as originally advertised (Normal being a heavily gimped power version of both sport and insane mode). I'd rather have full power available when needed, from just a push of the accelerator, but still get the benefit of torque sleep when the torque...

Spentan in other thread reporting torque sleep under range mode setting. Pretty cool but I can't wait for the bump in speed!

Looks like others in 6.1 sticky reporting an update as well. I apologize if I should have posted there instead of new thread. - - - Updated - - - Looks like the .139 others mentioned in the other thread. I don't see anything new. :(

We received a second update after 6.1 a week or so ago, updated the steering to three choices and something else I don't recall. We didn't look at the current version before approving update. - - - Updated - - - Since no one else is seeing anything, it's likely a bug fix. I'd be surprised if...

P85D starting software update right now 11:25 pm central time feb 2nd. torque sleep or .1 0-60 or both or something else? :) - - - Updated - - -

I'm really surprised no one has mentioned the new quarter mile time possibilities in this thread! 10.?, sub 10? Bought my wife the P85D a month ago and when she lets me drive, though rare ;), I can't get enough of the 0-60 acceleration, nor can my friends, had I been enterprising enough to...
