elon recently tweeted a video of people experiencing P85D "Insane Mode" acceleration for the first time

I love how it glued that little girl's phone to the seat. That much acceleration is just insane; I guess that's why they call it that, huh?


This strikes me as quite a dangerous feature. Cars accelerating slowly is a great safety feature. Maybe they could relabel this feature the "Suge Knight" feature since it will make parking lots and other areas of surging cars a whole new theatre.


It's around as dangerous as any other performance car with an extremely powerful engine. You can still drive slowly; the difference is in what happens when you floor the pedal.


That video was hilarious, thanks!
