If you can’t find a PS5 or Xbox Series X, how about an $80,000 electric sports car with comparable performance? Tesla just announced its refreshed Model S today, and a new “Plaid” powertrain isn’t its only performance enhancement — the company claims the car can now compete with next-gen gaming consoles, thanks to a 10-teraflop gaming computer that will apparently come with every new model.
Assuming that refers to GPU performance and Tesla isn’t wildly exaggerating, that might indeed be competitive with a PS5 or Xbox Series X, which offer 10.28 teraflops and 12 teraflops of raw GPU power respectively. There’s more to performance than teraflops, though.
Now, you might ask: who’s going to put a game in your car that might actually take advantage of a gaming PC? For that, I must ask you to look closely at the images above and below. Behold: CD Projekt’s acclaimed sword-slinging adventure The Witcher 3, just as Musk foretold:
Here are a number of things we still do not know:
Is The Witcher 3 actually coming to Tesla, and when? (We’ve asked CD Projekt.)
Can you play it on the 17-inch, 2200 x 1300-pixel main display, or only on the 8-inch second row display? Or both?
Will you need a new controller? (Tesla says it has “wireless controller compatibility” but that’s all we know.)
Who’s making the GPU? (We’ve pinged Nvidia and AMD.)
Who is going to sit in their $80,000 sports car and play a 70+ hour game? (fingers crossed for cloud saves)
