Tesla Model S P85D To Be Unveiled Soon – And ‘Something Else’

Tesla CEO Elon Musk knows how to play the social media game, teasing his one-million-plus followers on Twitter this week with news of a ‘Model D’.

Get ready to meet the Model S P85D, which is some variation on the current top-spec Model S P85.

Earlier thoughts had the new BMW 3 Series-rivalling model falling into line with Tesla’s other known variants - the Model S sedan and the upcoming Model X SUV - by reverting to a single ‘letter’ name as well.

After all, the Model D name would make sense for such a car which is currently earmarked to wear a ‘Model III’ badge.

Speculation now turns to what the ‘D’ might represent in relation to the Model S, with some reports suggesting ‘Dual’ might be the answer.

If correct, this would likely mean dual electric engines and therefore the first all-wheel-drive Model S as a new range-topper.
