Oh I don't want to be limited to just 3.5 seconds.

But ludicrous mode has nothing to do with 0-60. They need enough power from the battery and then they need a capable enough motor(s) and inverter(s) combination.
The reason for the P85/90/100Ds many modes is, that the motors and inverters can put out 515 kW(690hp) but only the P100Ds battery can supply enough energy. The original P85D could only put out 460, or so, hp.
Not sure if Tesla did the same thing with the Model 3. Since both the AWD as the P have the same motors, I doubt that the P is that battery limited.
So ludicrous will probably just be the sport mode of the Model 3.
