About Tesla Model S Plaid

The Tesla Model S Plaid is an all-electric all-wheel drive liftback. It came out in 2021 replacing the older Tesla Model S Performance (2020). Brand new, the car starts around €109,990.

The Tesla Model S Plaid has a 100 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 574 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 16.6 kWh per 100 km (or 166 Wh/km) — ranked №25 out of 586 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Tesla Model S Plaid

The Tesla Model S Plaid achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 2.1 seconds (placing it at â„–3 among 586 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 322 km/h.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 760 kW (1019 hp) and a torque of 1420 Nm.

Real-world range of Tesla Model S Plaid

Tesla Model S Plaid achieves a real-world range of 517–631 km, placing it at №25 among 586 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

Tesla Model S Plaid charge port type?

The Tesla Model S Plaid in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 (Tesla) charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, resulting in approximately 60 km of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 250 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
