Tesla Model S P85D Arriving In Australia Q3 2015, Model X On Wish List

Tesla’s newest Model S variant was only revealed to the world in mid-October, but the new performance hero has already been confirmed for an Australian launch.

Called the P85D (the ‘D’ signifying ‘dual’), the latest Model S lifts performance of the already-impressive P85 by adding a second electric engine.

With an electric motor at both ends, the P85D is the first Model S to offer all-wheel-drive which improves the 0-100km/h time to 3.2 seconds.

And soon Australian customers will be able to purchase one, with the model scheduled to arrive in Q3 next year.

Also on the agenda is Tesla’s upcoming Model X SUV, with Marketing and Communications Manager, Heath Walker saying the variant would be ideal for Australian customers.
