# Ludicrous Hypercars The Latest Tesla Model S Can Hit 100 KM/H in Only 2.8 Seconds By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-07-20 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latest-tesla-model-s References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/tesla-model-s-ludicrous-mode/38526/) & [teslamotors](http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/three-dog-day) The latest [Tesla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-model-s-plaid-track-package) [Model S](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-mode) is a car that is most notable for its awesomely-named 'Ludicrous Mode'., which allows the vehicle to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in a ridiculous -- or ludicrous -- 2.8 seconds. This makes it as adept a sprinter as the likes of hypercars [McLaren](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-highperformance-supercar) P1 and LaFerrari. This is made possible by a redesigned fuse on the vehicle's battery. The vehicle can be equipped with an optional 90 kWh battery pack that boosts its range to a very healthy 300 miles. However, the new fuse design is really one of the key upgrades with this car, as it is set up to monitor the vehicle's current and can cut power when necessary. This new fuse and a number of seemingly minor tweaks make the latest Tesla Model S a magnificent sprinter that leaves most other cars in the shade. Once again, Tesla continues to be at the forefront of automobile innovation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Ludicrous Mode:** Opportunity for other car manufacturers to develop similarly powerful acceleration features for their vehicles. - **Redesigned Fuse:** Potential for innovation in the development of more efficient and effective battery fuses for electric vehicles. - **Minor Tweaks:** Companies can explore the potential of making small adjustments to their products to significantly improve performance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Automakers can invest in developing high-performance electric cars with advanced acceleration capabilities. - **Energy Storage:** Opportunity for battery manufacturers to create improved fuse designs for electric vehicle batteries. - **Technology:** Tech companies can focus on developing innovative solutions to enhance the performance and efficiency of various products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Professional-Grade Sedan Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-mode.md) - [Track-Ready EV Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-model-s-plaid-track-package.md) - [Hyper-Fast Electric Race Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-su7-ultra.md) - [Ultra-Premium Electric Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiphi-a.md) - [High-Performance Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sapphire.md) - [Lightweight High-Performance Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-highperformance-supercar.md) - [High-Powered Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-bev-sports.md) - [Ultra-Fast Hybrid Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fenomeno.md) - [Audaciously Powerful Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hypercars.md)
