Almost everybody loves their car, but apparently, some do so a little bit more than they should. Take this guy for example: he won't let his children drink of eat in the car. What kind of despotic dad does that?
Well, one that owns a Tesla Model S P90D Ludicrous and has just ordered a P100D, because why not? In the meantime, though, he's going to have to make do with the P90D's "terrible" 2.65 seconds 0-60 mph acceleration in his seemingly continuous quest to make fun of his kids.

If you think the little boy looks familiar, it's because you might have seen him before. He featured in another one of his dad's challenges where he promises the young ones something they want in exchange for doing something he knows very well they won't be able to. That's probably the definition of "sadistic," but it's alright, he clearly has a very good relation with his kids. He's the cool dad type, so everything is forgiven.

Right, back to the little boy and where you might know him from. Earlier this year, he was asked to grab a $100 bill from the sunshade in front of him while the car accelerated. He failed miserably, but his dad assured us that the kid still got the video game he would have spent that money on. Now, the boy is joined by his older sister in an attempt to break out of dad's tyranny and gain the right to eat and drink in his car.

The stage has been carefully set: the two are surrounded by plenty of cameras, all set to film in slow motion, so we don't miss any splash. The first try is a rolling start, but Tesla's brute force proves to be enough to extract about one-quarter of the water out of the cups and deliver it all over the kids' faces. As well as the overly-protected upholstery.

The kids accused they were taken by surprise, so a second round is arranged. This time, however, the Tesla would launch from a standstill with Ludicrous mode engaged. Having been promised $20 for having the most water in the cup at the end, the boy is clever enough not even to attempt drinking, but focus on keeping as much of the fluid within the cup's walls. Sadly, it didn't work.

In the end, what the dad got was a prolongment of his no food/no drinks ban inside his car, two soaked kids, one wet rear seat backrest, and, most important of all, a really funny video. Just wait until you see the slow-motion, it'll crack you up. Making innocent fun of children will never get old.
