Video Summary
- It’s an electric family saloon with all-wheel drive.- It features over 1000 brake horsepower and 1000 lbs/ft of torque.
- The car goes from 0 to 62 mph in just over 2 seconds.
- EVs tend to run out of top speed, but this Plaid model does not.
- On the track, the car has a higher top speed than other Plaid models.
- If driven at top speed on the Autobahn, it would quickly consume battery power.
- Tesla claims that this vehicle will hit 200 mph.
- There is plenty of horsepower.
- It can run out of charge in 15 to 20 minutes under certain conditions.
- Faster cars are becoming a bit passé.
- It is not hard to make an EV feel very accelerative, due to the available torque.
- This Plaid has fancy carbon wrap rotors inside, allowing a lot more RPM, about 25% more than a standard Model S.
- Higher RPM in an EV means a higher top speed, assuming it has enough horsepower.
- This has 1020 bhp and 1050 lbs/ft of torque.
- It is hard to get bored with Plaid’s ability to deliver nuclear acceleration.
- This may not be a rounded performance car.
- The interior has an improved design compared to previous Tesla Model S versions.
- There are no stalks on the steering wheel; indicators are on the side.
- The gear selector is located on the central display.

- For about £16,000, the Track Package includes carbon ceramic brakes, 20-inch lightweight wheels, and track-based tires.
- EU Track package tires aren’t actually road-legal.
- There are software enhancements that exploit the electric architecture.
- Track mode enables better cooling that extends max horsepower.
- It has sharp throttle response.
- It has adaptive air suspension settings that make the ride more aggressive.
- The top speed and torque vectoring are increased in track mode.
- Even in track mode, the steering feels light and disconnected, yet provides direction change.
- The car can transform quickly through the settings in the screen.
- A limited amount of track time to test the new track package was available.
- The three motor torque vectoring works very well.
- The car handles well on the track.
- There is not enough lateral support in the seats.
- The Plaid, with the track package, is a beast on the track, though it has limitations.
- A non-track Plaid is a pussycat on the road.
- It seems to be always doing something.
- It has shed 100 kilos overall.
- As standard this would do. However, with the pack, it adds a greater dimension.
- It's more the fact it has carbon ceramic brakes. Every one should have them.
- So, the question is, not why but why not.
- As standard, the Tesla Model S Plaid track package may be all the super saloon you could want.
