Actually (as a P100D ModelX owner) thats not true...
Ludicrous mode is ALWAYS on if you enable it. "Max Power" is an additional setting which optimizes the batteries and can take several minutes (depending on the ambient conditions). ...and if I remember correctly it actually WARMS the batteries - not COOLS them...
"Max Power" adds a little bit more power (maybe a tenth of a second?) but I've never had to use it to run the wheels off anything and everything that "wants to give it a go"... If you roll up to someone itchy at a light, its way too late to turn on "Max Power", but it doesn't really make that much difference.
Ludicrous mode is always there and you can really snap your passengers neck if you don't warn them before you put your foot down!
