Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Tesla Model S Plaid

The Tesla Model S Plaid can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds (ranked №2 out of 596 electric vehicles) and reach a top speed of 322 km/h.

The car’s powertrain delivers up to 760 kW (1019 hp) of power and 1420 Nm of torque.

Real-world range of Tesla Model S Plaid

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model S Plaid falls between 517–631 km, ranking it №26 out of 596 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

  • Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
  • Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
  • Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

Tesla Model S Plaid charge port type?

In Europe Tesla Model S Plaid has a CCS Type 2 (Tesla) charge port.

  • You can charge it at home using a standard domestic socket or plug into any public AC charging station using the right cable. Keep in mind that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, which translates to approximately 60 km of range added per hour of charging.
  • For quicker charging, consider using a compatible DC fast-charging station. The car boasts a maximum charging rate of 250 kW, but remember that battery temperature and charge level can influence the actual speed you'll experience.
