One of the more impressive things about the 691-hp Tesla Model S P85D—aside from the face-melting acceleration of its dual motors and 864 lb-ft of torque—is the car’s ability to receive over-the-air software updates. (This applies to any Model S.) Whenever Tesla and its engineers decide to implement an improvement, they send it through the ether to your car, the same way your smartphone gets updated, with no trip to the dealer required.
Tesla founder and formerly gawky McLaren F1 owner Elon Musk took to Twitter today to reveal the latest update: an algorithm tweak that makes the silent screamer P85D even quicker.

So to recap: If you own an all-electric, seven-passenger, all-wheel-drive performance sedan that accelerates as quickly as a McLaren F1, in the coming days it will magically become even quicker without you having to do a damned thing.
