We suspect that Tesla here is a first in the world to tackle: a OTA tuningbeurt.

That the Model S variant with two electric motors and four-wheel drive, a sickly power to accelerate, that is beyond question. Tesla’s pr team Several P85D-riders have been in several sprintvideo’s shown.

For them, there is good news, because it was through an OTA update (Over The Air) gets the car new software supplied, causing the power to accelerate even further increases. CEO Elon Musk let on Twitter know that the algorithm of the inverter is changed, making the sprint to 96 km/h (60 Mph) with 0.1 tel is shortened. Of 3.2 seconds to 3.1 seconds. The regular P85 benefit according to Musk, also of the update, but in a lesser degree.

Admittedly, this is above all a marketingdingtje. Elon tweet what, all the nerds in the techscene get a dampig shorts, and everyone has a moment on the sociaalmedia. But the reality is that this week numerous P85D owners in the morning in their Tesla steps, an update report on the 17-inch screen appear, and then a faster car. And that is just crazy. PR or not.

In case you’re wondering how ordinary people, the acceleration in a Model S P85 D (700 hp) experience, check this video. Note: video contains coarse language, and iPhones to the back stick.
