I can't believe this hasn't been discussed yet:
My lap of terror in the Tesla D | The Verge
The 691 Horsepower ​Tesla Model S P85D Does 0-60 In 3.2 Seconds

AWD, second motor, extra 221Hp, for $4K extra on any of their cars.


I've got to give it to Elon... All that talk about making electric cars for the masses was just a brilliant head-fake. He KNOWS his customer base, and it's not the Leaf buyers. Rather it's the Go Fast guys with deep pockets.

And now those with the first Model S's will all have to upgrade like a bunch of iPhonen+1 groupies.
