CEO Elon Musk announced that the deliveries are opened post-event. However, the car was supposed to launch on June 3, 2021. But due to some supply issues, they had to delay the launch event.
What are the Specifications and Features of the Tesla Model S Plaid?
Tesla Model S Plaid packs 1020 horsepower. CEO Elon Musk said that the car is faster than a Porsche and safer than a Volvo. This is how he introduced the car to the audience. Moreover, the car goes from a 0-to-60 mph dash in less than 2 seconds. The car’s top speed is rumored as 200 mph (321 km ph). Although, Tesla has clearly mentioned that the driver can attain the speed only with proper wheels and tires.
Originally, the car stands on a 19-inch wheel. But the customers can customize it up to 21-inch wheels as well. This electric Tesla car has Superchargers. It can add up to 187 miles (300 km) of range just in 15 minutes. According to Elon Musk, the car’s charging capacity is even less than a coffee break. It will charge itself before the user finishes his or her coffee. That is something huge! Musk has built approximately 25,000 networks of Superchargers across the world for his customers. However, it took 9 years for Tesla to come up with this S Plaid sedan version.
