Elon Musk took the lid off his own madness with the Tesla Model S P85D, the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive, 691 horsepower silent screamer of the electric car world.
As if all that unhinged power wasn't enough, The D comes with "Insane Mode," unleashing the car's full acceleration potential with a no-holds-barred launch mode calibrated for maximum thrust.
Musk said he benchmarked the McLaren F1 as The D's acceleration target. With a claimed 3.2 second 0-60 run from a comfy sedan that weighs nearly 2.5 tons, we'd say he nailed it.
What does all that massive, dyno-befuddling, Hellcat-humiliating, silent torque do to unsuspecting passengers? The gearheads at DragTimes just had to find out.
Warning: There's a lot of shocked cursing in this video. Not safe for unsuspecting ears or playing loud at your office. You've been warned.
Clearly, nobody's prepared for The D.
