Okay I'm totally used to P85 acceleration... but I still had to say "holy crap". It really goes.
Exactly, was about to say the same. It was really a great event, and that store/service center is HUGE!!
Nice touch to have Jerome Guillen and the P85D rides

Kalud was that a P85D in your picture? I'm curious because it looks like the rear Tesla T emblem is backlit. I haven't seen that before.
No its a P85+ from an owner that lives in Montreal and in California. The rear Tesla T is available from artsci, see here: Rear Lighted T
I was able to go last night as well - we managed to make it from Toronto in about 5 hours and arrived just before 10pm. Got my ride in the sweet P85D - holy smoke. Could feel the traction actively working on the slippery surface - the car had it all under control and we got to 100km on that snowy test stretch. The centre looked great - and it was super fun when asked if I was an owner or admirer, to say "Owner - car goes into production this week!" Wahoo! We didn't stay long; just long enough to meet my Delivery Specialist and grab a couple t-shirts. I was happy that this event coincided with a planned Montreal weekend away.
Congrats to Tesla on another great location and a great event! Thanks for the test ride - sweet!
At the open house Saturday and Sunday, there are two informal technical presentations daily. I incorrectly assumed they would be basic, but they are given by two native Montrealers who are engineers who work on the Model S.
One is head of the motor+drive-train team. This is the chance to ask about the improved motor cooling in the D.
good thing for you we didn't get a chance to give you a list of questions.This morning's presentation was by a Montreal mechanical engineer called Nicola who's been working for five years at Tesla and he was the head you mentionned on that new PowerTrain!
As I understood it, the new more powerful front-engine is cooled by oil (instead of coolant, I guess) which allows for better heat dissipation...
but I missed the comment on the back engine, so I'm not sure for that one.
