Whether you’re driving the Model S or the Model X, the P85D version remains one of the quickest out there, despite newer upgrades.
As if we didn’t already have proof of that thanks to countless drag races, here is a completely different scenario in which the Tesla’s instant acceleration came in handy.
This video shows Jason Hughes, the owner of the Tesla, a , minding his own business waiting to make a left turn, when he suddenly sees a Prius approaching him from the rear dangerously fast.
While we can’t be 100% certain that it would have resulted in a crash had he not done anything, we can still appreciate his predicament.
If we were to go just by distance, using the eye test it’s clear that the Prius would have impacted the Tesla had the latter not moved away. However, it seems the Toyota driver also swerved in order to avoid the crash.
Mr Hughes however is certain that the Prius would have hit him had he not moved away as quick as he had – and since we can’t really dispute that, all we can do is sympathize with his situation and acknowledge the fact that fast cars can sometimes, get you out of trouble instead of in it.
