Jason Hughes, also known as @wk057/Twitter, has released another update on his Tesla Model S P85 project, which after a software update and getting the 'yellow treatment' was turned in the quickest RWD Tesla yet - called P90++.
The car is only rear-wheel drive but was altered from a P85 to the 90 kWh upgrade w/Ludicrous pack, and achieves the modified/improved result via convincing the software there is also a front motor operating in the vehicle to up the output in the rear.
"Did some dyno testing of my modified Tesla Model S P85 (RWD). We've dubbed it the P90++ (with an underline for Ludicrous mode)."
In result on the dyno P90++ got:
- 553 RWHP
- 480 ft/lbs RWTQ
Dyno of "P90++": 553 rear wheel HP & 480 ft/lbs torque. First real #Tesla power increase tune ever. ? Several consistent runs. 456kW @ pack. pic.twitter.com/emKs8noJAX
