(KRON) Tesla continues to push the boundries of what an ‘all electric car’ can do.
A new feature called “ludicrous mode” is getting a lot of buzz.
KRON4’s tech trends reporter Gabe Slate got in a tesla to show us what it is.
We took the Tesla to the country away from traffic and buildings so we could fly our quadcopter4 drone to help us capture the aerial view.
This ludicrous mode is a setting you turn on through the Tesla’s dashboard touch screen.
Once you have it on whenever the car is at a complete stop and you press your foot on the gas pedal it will do its thing blasting the car to 60 miles per hour in under 3 seconds.
Before we did this Gabe placed a small action video camera pointed forward on the dash with heavy duty gaffer’s tape.
It wasn’t enough.
It went flying off the dash.
The Tesla model ‘S’ is now the world’s fastest-accelerating four-door vehicle ever built.
This feature really pushes forward automotive technology and electric cars.
This puts an electric vehicle on par with big engine muscle cars and high end luxury sports cars.
0-60 in 2.8 seconds is actually faster then most muscle and sporty cars.
