Ludicrous mode
Ludicrous Mode is a historic Tesla performance-mode name associated with maximum acceleration on earlier high-performance Model S and Model X vehicles. Tesla's current performance terminology has changed on newer vehicles. Current Model S documentation uses drive modes such as Insane and Drag Strip Mode on relevant configurations rather than presenting Ludicrous as a universal current feature. The term remains in the glossary because it is established Tesla and EV culture terminology. M
