Sounds like the EV sector is about to get interesting over the next few years, as manufacturers scramble to compete with Tesla.
Quote:
In response to Tesla's new 'Ludicrous Mode' which gives the Model S P85D a 0-60 of 2.8 seconds Palmer did not mince his words.
“We don’t do Ludicrous because Ludicrous speed is stupid,”
Ouch.
He goes on to say, “I think that the fact that you could drive a few laps of a decent race course or race it around the Nordschleife [famed track in Germany] is much more interesting than doing 500 meters in Ludicrous mode.”

Read as: "Sh1t, that Tesla's good! ... What can we do to better it!?"
