  Elon Musk's Twitter account claims: Model S P100D Easter egg will allow it to do 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 sec and a 10.6 sec 1/4 mile via software update next month https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/798980894543343616 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/798980894543343616

    Model X P100D is 0.1 sec faster with this software update. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/798984120336465920 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/798984120336465920

  Putting an easter egg is imho more something for a computer game, not for a $134.000 car.

  I'm gonna guess this is more accurate thermal models for motors and IGBTs so they can be pushed closer to melting point...

  This gives an acceleration of 11.1 m/s2. Doesn't one need those sticky dragster tyres to get a coefficient of friction above one?

  That is fun and all, but it would still lose a real race to a real sports car since it cannot sustain this power output level for over ten seconds (try it).
