I think this car can outlast a Ferrari F12 for a few seconds from 0 mph

It's a really nice handling and driving car BUT it won't be replacing those F12's anytime soon. Yes, the 0-30 acceleration feels like it is ripping my face off, but after all of that, it is still a sedan. Just like the RS7, it is just a faster alternative to the M5 and similar cars.

p.s.
There are already videos of it drag racing an Aventador and 458 on youtube. Pretty amazing to watch.

Of course not, I would take a 458 over it. 0-60 is a RUSH though.

You just have to take a seat in it or take it for a spin, the G-force is too much fun from 0 mph. The P85 does wonders but this one will keep you planted longer

I can say, having driven a P85 and P85D, the P85D feels like a whole different world. That acceleration can smash the heads of the passenger back, giving 1.3G's of acceleration. The normal P85 had a tendency to slip slightly when accelerating, while this one had zero slip, giving it a much better acceleration.

And it seems from the people I know who have tested the 0-60, they have gotten much closer to 3.0 seconds instead of the claimed 3.2 seconds, which is crazy impressive for a 4900 lb car.

I am with you, the Tesla is awesome. I was asking Eeti why he thinks this isn't the King.

I just love how Tesla calls the one acceleration setting "Insane."

The electric Tesla Model S has already won more than its fair share of heads-up drag races thanks to the 691-hp P85D’s “Insane” mode, which hurtles the car to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds.

That wasn’t fast enough for Elon Musk.

Starting today, Tesla will offer Model S P85D owners an upgrade that unlocks even more power from the battery, pushing the car to 60 in 2.8 seconds and covering a quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. Total power rises to 762 hp. And because this is Tesla, the new mode will be called “Ludicrous” — since “insane” was already taken, and everyone loved “Spaceballs.”

In a conference call with reporters, Musk said the upgrades were possible mostly due to a higher-capacity fuse that allowed the battery to send 1500 amps to the two electric motors. That speed puts the Model S firmly in supercar territory — faster than a Ferrari 458 Italia and Chevrolet Corvette Z06, and bumper-to-bumper with cars like a Lamborghini Aventador or Porsche 911 Turbo S.

WOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH

P90D is absolutely insane..
Plus pricing on it is gonna be quite ridiculous also. Considering a 85D can cost around $130k

"Ridiculous" Lol really? I'd say $500,000 for that car is ridiculous. You're paying a decent sum of money for a car that can beat any supercar to real world speeds, carry five people, and still look quiet and unassuming. I'd call that a fantastic bang for your buck.
