Oh Sh*t! Watch People React to Tesla’s Insane Mode
We already know that the Tesla Model S is fast, with its electric motor making 100% torque from 0 RPM. But to make it faster, Elon Musk decided that the Model S needed all-wheel drive.
In addition to the traction benefits of all-wheel drive, it makes the car an absolute rocketship off the line. The acceleration is so insane, in fact, that Musk decided to call the Model S’s high performance mode “Insane Mode.”
The reactions are what you’d expect from a car that can go from zero to sixty in three seconds. What is impressive, even just from watching the video, is how effortlessly it accelerates. There’s no tire squealing. There’s no engine roar. It’s like the driver hit a button and the car engaged warp drive.
And it’s unlike anything these people have experienced before in a car. One participant even says she’d do that all the time if she had the car. We respect that, because it’s exactly the same thing we’d do if we had the car. Who cares about range when you have one of the fastest accelerating cars on the planet?
Based on the smiles and giggles from the kids at the end, the future of car culture is safe. Future cars may be electric, but there sure are going to be fun!
