Video: watch someone cut a Tesla in half

Wedding season is nearly upon us, which means stag/hen do season is in full swing. If you’re planning a bachelor party to Southend-on-Sea and are at the crucial stage of booking the pink Hummer limo, may we advise some patience.

Thanks to the ‘Big Limos’ company, there’s a new car that’s going to send shockwaves through the stretch limo industry forever. Behold: the Tesla Model S limousine; the first supersized Tesla in history.

The Big Limo chaps have literally cut the Internet’s poster boy – the Model S  –  in half, in order to extend the wheelbase.Thankfully, the bed of 7000-plus individual lithium-ion battery cells (that sit in 16 modules to make up the Tesla’s 85kWh battery pack) was removed before splitting the chassis in two.

Of course, adding extra stuff to a car already clocking in at 2,106kg in standard form will likely affect performance. The added floorspace then, allows for even more battery assistance.

Here’s hoping the team at Big Limo will spec the 464bhp e-motor – which is already potent enough to make the Model S ballistically quick for a Panamera-sized barge – then add the P85D’s additional 218bhp motor to the front axle.

That’ll give it all-wheel drive, 682bhp, and 695lb ft on demand. All in silence, of course. So all the better to sing Total Eclipse of the Heart to your, um, heart’s content.
