VIDEO: Can you drink in the Tesla Model S P90D?

Suffice to say, drinking and driving, or any form of distracted driving, for that matter, is a no-no. What if you’re a passenger, though?

It appears that a Tesla-owning father has been hearing complaints from his kids that they aren’t allowed to eat or drink in his car, and P90D Dad has laid down a challenge for them: “if you can drink in my car without spilling, just this one time, you can eat and drink in my car any time you want.”

Given that the Tesla Model S P90D is capable of covering 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds in Ludicrous mode, while the latest P100D is even quicker still, it’s safe to say the cup-toting kids didn’t emerge unscathed.

    Why not just drink from a bottle? It would be a whole lot less messy

        In a Proton (whatever model), you have to pour yourself water to achieve same effect. Don’t play play with Proton engine!

    if i got a father as rich as that, i wouldn’t bother to drink in the car.

    i would just want to take the car out for a ride to get some chics.

  • Can drink in a tesla? Of course can! Driver can drink vodka from bottle and justify to pulis that he is not driving the car, its the autopilot. So he shud not get saman.

    Its more fun when you put money in the mix.

    We used to stick a 50 dollar note on the dash. if the Passenger can reach it and grab it during a launch, he can keep it.

    Needless to say, anything more than 350+hp with a 5000rpm AWD launch, your money is pretty safe. We used to pull 1.3 – 1.5Gs with normal road tyres.

    This water challenge is BS.

    You can do it with any car.. its physics.. the sudden jerk when you accelerate will make sure the water spills all over.. go try in on your proton with your GF.

  • Hi Mick
    I couldn’t make out the meaning of this sentence; sounds more logical when you lose the word ‘didn’t’
    ‘…it’s safe to say the cup-toting kids didn’t emerge unscathed’

    Captain here; the kids really did not emerge unscathed whatsoever; instead they got wet all over.

    TL;DR There’s nothing wrong with that sentence.
