Tesla Ludicrous
Discussion
I am looking for a new car and have been considering a Tesla Ludicrous BUT..., every time i see a Tesla, it is dawdling along in the slow lanes, presumably because the owner is scared of running out of power.
I drive fast, everywhere, every day. So my question..., if I drive the tesla with fast acceleration and at high speed, how many miles do I truly get in the real world, from a full charge?
And please, can the answers stick to the question rather than plonkers going on about speed limits.

I'm basically the same, went from some 700+ bhp V8/V10's to the Tesla. Mine is a P90D ludicrous. It's always in Ludicrous mode, not Ludicrous plus which had been pointed out takes time to warm the battery and the couple of times I've tried it I noticed no difference.
The answer is complex but in reality even if you're pressing on as much as possible you'll still have to slow down and run with traffic a fair bit. For example on my 150 mile round trip commute there are bits when I can do significant speed but then a lot of it you're running with traffic and in traffic jams and I do 333wh/M so a range of around 200miles given useable battery and degradation.
Worst case I'll get the range down to about 140/150miles but generally even if you're on a 200 mile journey going fast I'd stop for a bathroom break at a services, have a quick charge and be on my way in 10-15 minutes.
I've done 30,000 miles in mine in under 3 years and I'm converted. I've done Le Mans 3 times in it and Southern Germany with bikes on the back and a car full.
[Thanks Robby. Very helpful. I am really torn because I occasionally do a 200 mile journey in about 2hrs 15 mins and the last thing I want to do is to stop to 'fill up' The car i have been offered is the supposedly all singing all dancing Tesla Model S Performance Ludicrous]
