SAN FRANCISCO - How about an automobile that can keep pace with a $1.4-million Ferrari LaFerrari supercar for about one-tenth the price?
That's the latest proposition from Tesla, whose electric sedans will now be capable of hitting 60 mph in a scant 2.5 seconds, or about twice as fast as a Bentley Continental Flying Spur and on par with Ferrari's latest state-of-the-art machine.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the news Tuesday on a conference call, noting that the new top-of-the-line Tesla Model S P100D with aptly named Ludicrous mode will cost $134,500. The Model X P100D with Ludicrous will cost $135,500 and hit 60 in 2.9 seconds.
The cars have ranges of 315 and 289 miles respectively. Breaking the 300-mile barrier (up from 294 for the 90D) is an incremental if symbolic milestone as the automaker looks to erase so-called range anxiety as a reason not to buy an electric car.
