Tesla is an American electric car company. In their early days
they used to modify standard production cars and convert them into electric
cars. In the year 2008 they launched the Tesla P85, which changed everything.
Before this car people never used to associate electric cars with performance
or mileage or even reliable. Tesla made it possible, under the expertise of
Elon Musk.
The P85 starts at 70 thousand pounds while the P100D starts at
130 thousand pounds. Which is a lot of money. The P100D has dual motors, hence
the "D", which helps it to have 611 bhp over the standard 420. These
are incredible numbers for an electric car. And because it's an electric car
the throttle response is instant, because electric motors produce their maximum
torque at zero rpm. This helps the P100D to hit 0-100 kmph in 2.5 seconds which
is mind boggling, it is in supercar territory. It has the same 0-100 time as
the 2 million dollar car, Buggati Veyron super sports.
Inside the car has enough leather and wood to be worth 70 thousand
pounds but 130 thousand, absolutely not. It falls short there. However the
dashboard is very minimalist and there are no buttons on the centre console,
everything is substituted by a huge iPad like display, which is very smooth and
intuitive to operate. If you jump into the back there is enough space for 3 adults because of its flat foot
well however people above 6 feet might struggle for headroom.
The P100D is again a great car from Tesla fast, practical, eco
friendly and luxurious. The price might be a bit of a letdown but the car more
than makes up for it. Tesla is still the car of the future that you can own
now.
