Tesla Model S P85D will improve quickness through over-the-air update

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Already able to hit 60 miles per hour in about 3.2 seconds, the 691-horsepower Tesla Model S P85D is absolutely no slouch when it comes to acceleration. Of course, one of the great things about owning a Tesla is the possibility of over-the-air updates coming at any time to make the brand's vehicles even more capable.

Elon Musk recently announced the latest software improvement on Twitter (embedded below) for the Model S to make the P85D even quicker. The upgrade sheds a tenth of a second off the dual-motor's already impressive acceleration to 60 thanks to an improvement to the inverter algorithm. The tweak affects the single-motor P85 too, but Musk said the effect would not be as significant. We can't wait for the inevitable updated passenger reaction videos once this enhancement tweak goes live.
