Jesse McCartney Joins the Tesla Model S P85D Owners Club

Have you listened to Jesse McCartney’s Superbad big hit? Neither did we. Ever. But out of pure curiosity, we figured it was worth trying to understand what’s new on the market. Before the funk-ish rhythm kicks in, the pop artist makes that voice as if he’s Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Do they know anything about being original these days? I mean, McCartney (no, he’s not related to Paul McCartney) is playing the big-shot card as if he actually was a big shot. Nevertheless, we’re not looking to be in any way subjective here. We’re discussing cars, of course, and it’s connected to the 28-year-old singer’s new ride he appears to be quite happy about.

When we tested the Tesla Model S, the Insane Mode update was still in the works. Even so, you can still understand why everybody is so crazy about Elon Musk’s electric vehicle. If you read the review, you’ll recall that we found the premium EV has a higher purpose in life than merely providing all-electric transportation. Sure, things stay as eco-conscious as possible, but it’s more to the car than saving the environment, not that doing so is not important.

As a driver, you feel engaged from the very beginning, while hitting the urban road with it almost convinces one that the car is acting based on the driver’s thoughts. As for the changing bit, there are quite a few combinations. First, there’s an onboard charger converting AC to the battery’s DC power. You can opt for a single charger or a dual charger, and it’s good to know that the latter can also be retrofitted.

Since we’re at it, you may want to know that you don’t buy a Tesla Model S to rip the clock apart, but if you are into the burning rubber now and then, there are a couple of figures you may want to know. The P85 needs 4.2 seconds for the 60 mph (96 km/h) sprint while the quarter mile game is played in 12.6 seconds.
