the latest snack ice in the electric car world is Tesla’s launch the new P100D models. Both the Model S and Model X, an updated battery of 100 kWh.
What many to react was the acceleration time to 60 mph (96 km / h), namely 2,5 seconds for the Model S and 2, 9 seconds for the Model X.
Take a few seconds and think through these figures. So this is about family cars that can accelerate as fast, or far faster than real exotic supercars.
But the impressive acceleration figures also made an equally important innovation was somewhat overshadowed.
The new battery pack also makes Model S really manage to get far above the “magic” range limit of 300 US miles, at least when Tesla says the estimated range of the US EPA cycle. This corresponds to about 48 mil.
When Tesla unveiled the face lift version of the Model S P90D stated range to 294 miles in mixed driving according to the EPA. But on the motorway, the figure was 303 miles, and it was the first time an electric vehicle came across the border.
The new P100D-version Tesla Model S will then pass 315 miles (50 ; 7 mil) in mixed driving, about Tesla’s calculations are correct. Thus, it is well above the 300 limit.
Since it is a known fact that the reported range figures rarely match reality – there are many factors at play, including air resistance, surface, weather conditions and driving style.
But the 300-limit is now officially exploded, at least on paper, and it does indeed some pressure on the competition.

Range of over 50 mil is important in an electric car.
