About the Tesla Model S Plaid

The Tesla Model S Plaid represents the pinnacle of Tesla’s performance-focused engineering, blending supercar-rivalling acceleration with long-range electric capability and everyday practicality. As Tesla’s flagship electric fastback, it combines cutting-edge technology, exceptional efficiency, and remarkable speed in a package designed for both long-distance touring and thrilling performance.

At the heart of the Model S Plaid is a tri-motor all-wheel-drive system producing an astonishing 760 kW of power, delivering instant torque and relentless acceleration to all four wheels. The result is breathtaking performance, with the Plaid launching from 0-62 mph in just 2.4 seconds and continuing on to a top speed of approximately 175 mph, placing it among the fastest production electric vehicles ever built.

Energy is supplied by a 95 kWh usable battery pack, providing a blend of extreme performance and impressive long-distance capability. EV Database estimates a practical real-world driving range of around 348 miles, making the Model S Plaid equally capable of tackling daily journeys and cross-country road trips. Official WLTP range figures may vary depending on specification, wheel choice, weather conditions, and driving style.

Charging flexibility remains a key strength of the Tesla flagship. The Model S Plaid supports Type 2 AC charging for home and destination charging, as well as CCS rapid charging at up to 250 kW. Under favourable conditions, a typical rapid-charging session can take approximately 30 minutes, allowing drivers to quickly replenish range and get back on the road.
