Tek News - Show Notes (10/13/14)

The “D”
Tesla is rolling out new all-wheel-drive-equipped versions of its Model S (check out our review of the original here). The top-of-the-line, dual-motor-equipped P85D has a measured 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds, which should put it among the fastest sedans ever when it starts shipping in December. According to Elon Musk, the system is a "huge improvement" that actually adds efficiency over a single motor -- about 10 miles in range per charge. That's apparently because there's no shaft between the front and rear axles, and the motors constantly adjust output so well that the car overcomes the weight of the second engine.

Autopilot: the car knew to stay in lane simply by detecting the white lines, knew to stay within the speed limit by recognizing the posted 25 MPH sign, changed lanes by flicked the turn signal on, and it knew to slow down and stop because the car detected a stopped car in front of it.
