Car manufacturers have their own way of reeling and hooking buyers to pay attention and possibly purchase the latest and greatest models. And, well, many times we end up disappointed with their failure to deliver on their extraordinary promises.

The Tesla S P85D Model, however, seems to be the exemption. When Tesla said they had an insane button in this car model that allows you to go from 0 to 60mph in 3.2 seconds -- Wow! They weren't kidding!

DragTimes posted a video featuring a driver named Brooks taking both young and old passengers on the Tesla S P85D "Insane Mode" experience. The video lets us visualize just how fast the P85D can go.

From a complete stop, the P85D can torque to a full 60mph, faster than you can catch your breath. Passenger reactions vary from colorful swearing language to eye-popping facial expressions. One young passenger wasn't ready and didn't have time to secure her handheld gadget from flying out of her hands.

This 691-horsepower, five-door luxury electric powerhouse already proved itself to be a worthy contender at any drag racing event.

We showed you how the Tesla S P85D recently went up against the Hemi V8-powered Dodge Challenger Hellcat to settle the score on who is the fastest car during a drag race event in Palm Beach. The Tesla left the Hellcat in the dust, proving that the P85D is indeed the fastest electric car currently in production, yet it remains safe and functional for the whole family's everyday use.

The "Insane Mode" option can be found on the dashboard screen and although it may seem like an ominous button to press, it just means that the maximum horsepower of the car's two motors are applied to all four tires at once.

"It's very safe, the car has all-wheel drive and is very stable the entire time. We've even done 0-60 in 3.3 seconds in the rain with no tire spin at all," Brooks wrote in an email.

Now, whoever said going electric would be a bore is probably changing their minds right now.
