2015 Tesla Model S P90D Reviews
Tesla's merchandise architect, Elon Musk, must happen to be seeing a Mel Brooks marathon on TNT when he decided "Ludicrous Speed," straight out of Spaceballs, as the license plate for the quickest acceleration way in his Model S P90D. And truly, one must have balls to completely use the launching operation of this auto. This electrical missile ran through our evaluation gantlet with, shall we say to sort desperate actions from hoopla.
The P90D's 11.1-second, 121-mph quarter mile run, reached with no trace of tire smoke or exhaust ruckus, values VIP parking at NHRA headquarters.

Smashing the pedal that is correct airs out addictive blasts of dopamine flood, and a huge torque gush, and strange, amazing your brain's pleasure center when this tsunami sloshes the juice in your inner ear.
