\nWhile working on our goal of making the power train last a million miles, we came up with the idea for an advanced smart fuse for the battery…<\/p><\/blockquote>\nWhat this [resulted] in is a 10% improvement in the 0 to 60 mph time to 2.8 secs and a quarter mile time of 10.9 secs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It’s a US$5k battery upgrade to the flagship Model S, the P85D. That\u00a0may\u00a0sound like a lot but if you can afford one in the first place\u00a0I seriously doubt another $5k is about to break the bank.<\/p>\n
