* [[Tesla, Inc.|Tesla]] is now claiming to use Inconel in place of steel in the main battery pack contactor of its [[Tesla Model S|Model S]] so that it remains springy under the heat of heavy current. Tesla claims that this allows these upgraded vehicles to safely increase the maximum pack output from 1300 to 1500 [[ampere]]s, allowing for an increase in power output (acceleration) Tesla refers to as "[[Ludicrous Mode]]".<ref name=ludiInco>{{cite web|url=http://electrek.co/2015/07/22/elon-musks-recent-ludicrous-announcement-hints-at-more-synergy-between-tesla-and-spacex/ |title=Elon Musk's recent "Ludicrous" announcement hints at more synergy between Tesla and SpaceX - Electrek|work=Electrek |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150912040737/http://electrek.co/2015/07/22/elon-musks-recent-ludicrous-announcement-hints-at-more-synergy-between-tesla-and-spacex/ |archive-date=12 September 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/three-dog-day|title=Three Dog Day|website=www.teslamotors.com}}</ref>
