Elon Musk just unveiled the new Tesla Model S Plaid at the Tesla Headquarters.
The stats are impressive, the all new interior is beautiful as it looks functional.
25 customers actually took delivery of their Model S Plaid during the event, which comes at about $130000.
The Model S Plaid can do zero to 60 in under 2 seconds which puts it as the fastest production car ever. Elon Musk is trying to prove that, and I quote: "Sustainable energy cars can be the fastest cars, the safest cars, can be the most kick-ass cars in every way" end quote. I think Tesla has definitely achieved this. The electric car is no longer the car of the future, most mayor manufacturers are starting to add electrified vehicles to their line ups; electric cars that are not only cool but also fast and comparably priced to the Tesla offerings.
It can also do a quarter of a mile in 9.23 seconds at 155 miles per hour which would make it the fastest production car in this category and it has a top speed of 200 miles per hour and an estimated 1020 Horsepower. It can charge 187 miles of range in 15 minutes.
In the tri-motor version it has a range of 390 miles and in the dual motor version it has slightly over 400 miles of range. Keep in mind that when optioned as shown during the unveiling with the 21 inch wheels the estimated range drops slightly. Elon said that the Plaid can maintain 1000 horsepower all the way up to 200 miles an hour.
The Tesla Model S Plaid will have the lowest drag coefficient of any car ever made at 0.208. It will come equipped with the latest Heat Pump which will improve the range in cold weather by over 30 percent.and it requires 50 percent less energy for cabin heating which again, will help the car's range in colder climates.
There are 25000 superchargers around the world which I think set apart Tesla from the competition. Elon was proud to mention that Tesla aims to make the Tesla Model S the car with, I quote: "the lowest probability for injury of any car ever tested". end quote. In fact, the top 5 vehicles with the Lowest Overall Probability of Injury are Tesla vehicles. Elon went on to say that the Plaid Model S is quicker than any sports car, faster than any Porsche, safer than any Volvo, in the same car.

I think personally it has aged well but after 9 years of production it starting to look a bit outdated. I prefer the look of the Model 3. Where you can see the big differences is in the interior, with the implementation of a 17 inch horizontal screen instead of a vertical one. There is a second 12 inch screen in front of the driver, and a smaller 8 inch for the rear seat passengers.
The completely redesigned interior will be roomier in all directions.The Model S comes with acoustic glass throughout the car and an in house sound system that has 22 speakers and it will have noise cancelling.
I was very excited to see all of what the Tesla Model S can do. As I said earlier, I'm not in love with the style, but with the level of technology that it possesses, it gives me something to look up to in the future. With the cancellation of the Plaid Plus, also went the announced range of over 500 miles and while Elon said that nobody drives over 400 miles without a bathroom brake, he overlooks the fact that some of us don't have a home charger and have to use the Supercharger network at all times. Especially when some of the competitors have ranges that in real life are better than what Tesla claims their cars to have. I also would have loved to hear if Tesla took this opportunity to make the interior truly feel first class. I would have liked to hear what they did to make the cabin craftsmanship be at pair with competitors. Yes, it is futuristic, yes, full of technology but, is it truly premium to the touch? I guess I'll find out when I get the opportunity to drive one.
