Blog Update Pushes Model S 100D to 0-60 MPH in 3.6 Seconds

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Tesla Model S 100D is faster than advertised, according to a test from drag racing site DragTimes.

A test of a new Tesla Model S 100D produced a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, nearly 15 percent quicker than the spec provided by Tesla. The online configurator for a Model S says the 335-mile range 100D can hit 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds.

Tesla has been unlocking more power in its non-performance Model S and Model X vehicles. A recent update pushed the Model S 75D to 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds from 5.2 seconds, while the Model X clocked 4.9 seconds, an improvement over a previous time of 6 seconds.

DragTimes also tested the car in the recently added “Chill” mode, which tames acceleration for a smoother ride. The car hit 0-60 mph in 7.2 seconds.

Anyone knows if this will also be available on my 2016 S90D?

Hmm...anyone know the official times for the pre-4.1s spec 100D?

Would chill mode have prevented Tesla jumping into buildings from standstill? I always felt it was also a fail of several safety features.

There is already a chill mode topic - Chill mode

I was just asking the same thing.

aaand P90DL residuals plummet..
To be honest they are just playing with us. There is no such thing such software improvements. They are just removing the limits they've put to keep the stock up.

Best to lease, own this car a long time, or just be super wealthy so you don't have to worry about residuals.

Guess how I came up with the word? I know all this. Just want to know if it can prevent stupid crashes of hyper trigger happy Tesla jumping into buildings.

I think the point was you're off topic. Go to that thread to ask that question.

I read the linked article, it seems on topic enough.
"DragTimes also tested the car in the recently added “Chill” mode, which tames acceleration for a smoother ride. The car hit 0-60 mph in 7.2 seconds."

 

[bcsteeve]

It isn't. @brkaus kindly pointed you to the correct thread for your question. Not sure why you'd have issue with that.

Of course, there is always the initial gym crash thread https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-s-crashes-into-gym.77907

They should rename it to BMW i3 mode.

Is this faster than a p85D?

 

[bcsteeve]

No, it isn't. P85D 0-60 time is stated to be 3.1s

Interesting!

My 90D is currently in service today. Weird thing is I just got a notification from my Tesla App saying I have a software update available. Wondering if it’s related to this.

Did anyone just now get notification?

 

[AvengerBB]

When your car has a service ticket open it will always put you in the queue for the latest software release. Unrelated to this.

I see gotcha. It’s my first time taking car to service center. I thought it was odd I got notification for software update.
