Aug 29, 2016 06:50 AM EDT | Jomar Teves

Tesla's celebrated Ludicrous Mode just got an upgrade. Tesla announced this week that its new 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack will empower the P90D to make the 0 to 60 mph keep running in 2.8 seconds.

Ludicrous Mode greatly improved on Insane Mode, which was made for the superior P85D all-wheel-drive, a twin-engine variant of the car last October.The new Model S P100D now improves Ludicrous Mode.

Call it Ludicrous Plus. Insane Mode on its own was really insane. This was a four-door luxury car that is capable of running 0 to 60 in a staggering 3.1 seconds.That was supercar velocity.

Tesla wasn't precisely attempting to make the kind of acceleration for the Model S that would go up against what Musk gets from the product of his other company, SpaceX, and its rockets.The model S has been around for a while now.

It's gathered a lot of accomplishments. Motor Trend named it Car of the Year in 2013.

Consumer Reports has labeled the Model S its top pick for two straight years, despite the fact that the car is principally an updated version of the same model.The Model S is constantly enhancing itself through software updates.

If you purchase the car in 2016, you could see it be almost a new vehicle in 2017, once the software self-tweaks. As Tesla enhances its current self-governing driving features throughout the following couple of years, the Model S will likewise have the capacity to drive itself.

Other vehicles can drive themselves But obviously, it will take a while before the Google care can outrun a Ferrari. We're so used to the Model S and its smooth, conservatively futuristic styling, its smooth performance, and its gigantic focal infotainment screen - that we now take for granted.
