Tesla Motors (TSLA) Model S P100D Easter Egg Update Will Make Self-Driving Car Even Faster

Two weeks ago, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk teased on Twitter an upcoming "P100D Ludicrous Easter egg" update that would unlock the full performance of the Model S. And on Wednesday, he announced exactly what that Easter egg is. When the P100D was announced in August, it already broke records, not just for electric vehicles but for car speeds in general. It could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles an hour in 2.5 seconds, making it the fastest car in the world (excluding supercars). This update shaves an extra 0.1 second off that time.
