How fast is Model S plaid?

The Model S Plaid is the quickest car we’ve tested from 30 to 50 mph , doing so in 0.9 second, and from 50 to 70 mph in 1.0 second flat. Tesla claims that the Plaid will some day be able to reach 200 mph, but our test car topped out at 162 mph (you can read more about that here).

The Tesla Model S Plaid is available now, following Tesla’s June 10 ‘delivery event’, and started at $129,990 . Originally the car was set to cost $119,990, but has since been subject to a $10,000 price increase making it $129,990.

The Plaid can complete a quarter-mile pass in about 9.2 seconds, so there are few, if any, typical production cars that can touch it beyond 60 mph.

With Track Mode activated, Plaid automatically adjusts torque split across the rear wheels, independently, which applies a torque bias to rotate the car through turns ; this increases turn-in response, improves on-center steering feel, and delivers even greater yaw control throughout a corner.
