Tesla to Model S Owners: Get Ready to Go 0-60 in 2.8 Seconds

During a highly anticipated conference call, Tesla announced on Friday that its only offering, the Model S electric car, is getting three updates.
First, a battery pack upgrade, to 90 kilowatt hours (kWh) from 85kWh, will be available for $3,000. It will provide up to 15 miles of additional range.
Second, the company is offering a new 70kWh single-motor Model S for $70,000.
Lastly, and perhaps most impressive, the car will now accelerate car from zero to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds—something Tesla is calling "Luuudicrous Mode." The company foreshadowed this annoucement by playing a song by the hip-hop artist Ludacris on loop before the conference call. The company said the car previously accelated to this speed in 3.1 seconds, which it called "insane mode."
On the horn waiting for Tesla press conference. They've got ludacris on loop. loopacris.
