Tesla Motors Inc. CEO Elon Musk tweeted earlier Thursday that early results around a software “Easter egg” are “promising” and could enable a Model S equipped with “ludicrous mode” to go from zero to 60 miles an hour in 2.34 seconds. The mode currently allows the priciest Model S trim to achieve that same pace in 2.5 seconds. The boost would take the Model S around the same accelerating speeds of ultra-luxury cars such as Porsche’s 918 Spyder and the concept car Faraday Future unveiled at the CES technology conference last week.
