Absolutely. Some more stats I found about the maxed out P85D: 691 horse power, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, quarter mile in 11.8 seconds. The curb weight on this thing is 4,936 lb which is quite heavy for a car this fast.

Also very cool: apparently, the reason for adding a second engine increasing range is because now there is more capacity to regenerate/recapture energy when slowing down.

Personally, this is the first Tesla car I actually want.

The base model at 4,600 is also very heavy for a car in the class, so buyers likely aren't going to mind 300 more lbs for AWD. :-)
