could be faster since the P85D weighs less? how much weight does the extra 5 kWh add? :smile:
Isn't this whole discussion moot since the 90kWh upgrade is a prerequisite for Ludicrous mode? (ie: ludicrous P85Ds don't exist)
Technically the extra 5kWh would weight about 200 nanograms, according to Einstein.
I'm thinking this isn't going to cause much of a difference in the total weight of the car, though. hehe
That said, silicon is know to reduce cycle life of Lithium Ion batteries.
What is "cycle life" of battery?
Better cycle life = less degradation with each charge-discharge cycle.
Poor cycle life = degrades quickly with repeated charge-discharge.

According to Elon the P85D insane mode is traction limited to about 30mph. With Ludicrous mode the increase in maximum amperage will extend the traction limited speed to somewhat higher, 60mph was mentioned but it is not really plausible. The quoted 0-60mph time reduction by 10-12% and the 0-100mph reduction suggest that the additional amperage has relatively more impact at higher speeds than at lower, where traction is not the limiting factor. Because we already know that the P85D 150mph speed can be maintained for only a few minutes before slowing to about 130mph, we can assume that either battery pack cooling, drivetrain cooling (presumably motors mostly) or both probably were the impediments.What about us P85Ds with staggered ?? U think that would give us additional grip at start ?
