What鈥檚 coming from Elon Musk and Tesla could be much bigger (faster) than we thought
Is Tesla about to unleash a car that can go from 0 to 60 mph in less than three seconds? If the Internet has its way, yes.
When CEO Elon Musk Wednesday to tease an Oct. 9 announcement, speculation about what 鈥淒鈥� might be ran wild.
But maybe not wild enough. 聽Electrek claims that the marquee feature of today鈥檚 Tesla event at 6 p.m. Pacific time will be the P85D 鈥� a 鈥渟upersport鈥� version of the Tesla Model S 鈥� will have all-wheel drive. That part is widely expected.
鈥淲hat鈥檚 perhaps not expected is what Tesla has been able to squeeze out of this battery and Dual-motor beast. My understanding is that the vehicle has been testing (unofficially) under three seconds on the 0 to 60,鈥� Electrek reported. 鈥淭his is incredibly fast.鈥�
Interestingly, this bit of speculation falls nicely into what Mr. Musk shared in a typically vague interview with Vanity Fair where he danced around questions but said this: 鈥淭he internet is very good at guessing these things. They are directionally correct but the magnitude is not well appreciated yet.鈥�
Could that 0 to 60 be that missing magnitude?
We鈥檒l find out tonight.
