Going the distance: Tesla boast that the Model S P100D will give about 315 miles on the EPA’s driving cycle, compared to the P90D’s rated range of 270 miles. In a real-world scenario, Tesla’s don’t typically reach this distance without setting the cruise control to around 55 mph.

The extra oomph: The larger battery also adds a tad more power to the already speedy car acceleration.
In Ludicrous Mode, the Model S will scale 0 to 60 mph in just around 2.5 seconds.
