Video Summary
Okay, here is a summary of the key points and findings about the Tesla Model S P90D:- The Model S P90D has been completely customized inside and out by T Sportline.
- The car has been lowered and features different wheels and bespoke carbon fiber upgrades. The chrome has been blacked out.
- The interior is absolutely stunning with genuine Bentley Hotspur leather upholstery with diamond quilted accents, white contrast stitching, and glossy carbon fiber trim.
- The key fob is in the shape of the car with buttons lining up across the top corresponding to the front and rear trunk and the central locking system.
- When the car is locked, door handles are flush with the body, but auto-present when the key fob is near.
- With the premium interior and lighting package, the Model S also features LED lighting underneath each handle.
- The exterior is finished in pearl white multi-coat.
- The Model S uses electrically assisted rack and pinion steering.
- The level of assistance is speed-proportional, more at low speeds, less at high speeds.
- The three-spoke flat bottom steering wheel has glossy carbon fiber. The airbag cover is also wrapped in leather.
- Multi-function controls on the steering wheel operate the audio system and reconfigurable digital instrument cluster.
- It takes 3.2 turns of the steering wheel to lock, and the turning diameter is 37 feet.
- Despite being a heavy car, the handling is excellent. This is partly due to the massive battery pack that sits as a stressed member in the center of the chassis stretching between the axles and nearly the full width of the vehicle.
- The car's center of gravity is around 18 inches off the ground, comparable to a mid-2000's Ford GT.
- The Model S is available in either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. A dual motor configuration allows for two separate drive units/transmissions.
- The front and rear motors have different final drive ratios. With dual motors, there is no physical transmission, but a direct drive unit integrated into each electric motor, improving efficiency by eliminating parasitic losses from traditional all-wheel drive systems.
- The front motor is smaller than the rear motor in performance models, but increases range and acceleration over rear-wheel-drive models.
- It accelerates to 60 mph in a supercar-like 2.8 seconds with the ludicrous speed upgrade, which features higher capacity electronics and hardware, boosting the battery’s current flow from 1300 to 1500 amps.
- Rear-wheel drive range is 270 miles.
- For charging, Tesla's supercharger network is free to the public. The car can add 170 miles in as little as 30 minutes.
- With the ludicrous speed upgrade, the P90D delivers up to 463 hp and 713 lb-ft of torque (532 hp with the ludicrous speed upgrade)
- There's a high definition backup camera with adaptive guidance lines, and premium materials in the interior
- The infotainment system incorporates capacitive touch technology and Google Maps.
- Compared to Audi or Mercedes, interior is simpler, more minimalistic than what you’d expect. There’s less of a focus on premium amenities as well
- This customized model S showcases the most luxurious possible additions to a classic Tesla model.
- A new "Summon" feature uses the remote to park the car in tight spaces.
- It offers four different wheel styles.
