Has anyone else not noticed this? And NO this is not on the S85D this is the rear wheel drive S85. I've got a call in to my local SC to see about allowing my P85 to go 140.

My speedometer goes above 140... does that mean I can drive that fast?
Pictures or it didn't happen.....
;-)
324 kW is 434 hp. For future reference, you can use Google to convert units (and currencies) pretty readily -- just Google "324 kW in hp" (or whatever you want to convert). I'm still waiting for the ability to Google a latte and have it appear next next to me, perfectly made, though... :tongue:Ok, I'm confused. The S60 and S85 now have the same motor output (380 hp). How can that be? The S60 must be battery limited.
Also, can someone translate hp to kW? My Sig has a peak of 324 kW ~100% SOC.
Jeez, stop with the cagey BS.My S85 is about two months old, and I can confirm that I've exceeded its supposed top speed of 125 MPH by an amount that heavily called into question Tesla's claimed top speed. Let's just say the stated 140 MPH makes MUCH more sense now.
The newer cars have a different rotor design, which allows the motor to rev a bit higher. It's hard to say when the switchover was made. Elon talked about this in early 2013.
Jeez, stop with the cagey BS.
Just say how fast you drove. Nobody knows who you are or in what jurisdiction said event supposedly happened. You could even claim to have done it legally on a track.
I can confirm the 996 GT3 can go 160, and still accelerates pretty hard at 160 in 5th (back straight at Watkins Glen). See, it's not that hard...
Yeah, but the S60 and S85 both have the same output? That doesn't seem right. Also, if I'm getting 434 hp on my non P model, then I confused as to how 380 is considered an upgrade.

All Tesla has started doing is showing the actual motor rating not what the car can actually do.
Which is useless information to a car buyer, wouldn't you agree? Most people who buy cars want to know the HP output of the vehicle they are buying, not the theoretical rating of the motor.
They're technically correct. The best kind of correct. They state 380 hp motor power, not output. The restriction lies in software and inverters.Which is useless information to a car buyer, wouldn't you agree?
