A Tesla Model X Performance “Raven” was put to a 1\/4-mile torture test in an attempt to gauge the performance of the vehicle’s thermal management system and its consistency when operating in Ludicrous Mode.<\/p>\n
Brian Jenkins of i1Tesla<\/a> set out to test the impact of Tesla’s Ludicrous acceleration when operating with the new “Cheetah Stance<\/a>” Launch Mode, in repeated, back-to-back acceleration runs. The goal was to run the Model X Raven until the vehicle’s battery overheated, however, the reason the tests stopped had nothing to do with inferior battery performance or durability.<\/p>\n Instead, Jenkins’ Model X Raven recorded a record-setting 11.10-second 1\/4-mile time and revealed some interesting insights on how Tesla’s newly improved thermal endurance operates under high stress.<\/p>\n
