This sounds like the same rumor from several months ago about the ludicrous option. Of course it's possible, but it has been radio silence for a while now.

Sounds unrealistic in terms of performance with current battery in the cars and would cannibalize sales of the S
Maybe half second or quarter of a second ; which performance owners would still pay extra for.

Assuming this holds any water then it would make sense that they would wait for Plaid Model S to be released to still keep the S faster - which is what it seems Tesla wants to do in order to preserve margins.

A 1 second improvement would put their quoted number at 2.2 - that seems like a lot on the current batteries and much more likely if it were on their more advanced and upcoming battery. And are we talking on newer hardware or a retro upgrade for existing cars? OTA software update only? Performance model only or others?

How reliable would you say your source of this information is?

You make the same statement when we talk about the 990-980 lollll it’s impossible to have more power if you have 990 engine bla bla bla and guess what ? Half a second appear for 2000$ !!!! So let see what happens in the next few month After the battery days

0-60 in 1 second. That would be really cool. But unlikely, unless "someone" was referring to the next-gen roadster. The roadster may be able to do 0-60 in 1.xx seconds. And it will cost $$$$.
