Introduction of the two models:
- The Model S Plaid version, with three-motor all-wheel drive, has an acceleration time of 2.1s per 100 km/h, a maximum speed of 322km/h, and a cruising range of 637km.
- The Model X Plaid version also uses three-motor all-wheel drive, with an acceleration time of 2.6s per 100 km/h, a maximum speed of 262km/h, and a cruising range of 536km.
Both models will have a new internal structure, powertrain, thermal system, electronics, full chassis, and more improvements. In an ideal world, the Model S Plaid can sprint to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds, which is often what purpose-built race cars and million-dollar supercars can do. And the Model X Plaid can hit highway speeds in 2.5 seconds, faster than some supercars on the market.
In Germany, the Tesla Model S Plaid starts at 137,990 euros, while the Model X Plaid starts at 140,990 euros. In the U.S., the two models start at $129,990 and $138,990, respectively. Only the two Plaid models are expected to start delivering in Europe by the end of the year (November or December), Tesla said, with the dual-motor version starting later this year, sometime around 2023.
Tesla enthusiasts tweeted that the Model S Plaid’s expected delivery date in Germany is December 2022-February 2023, while the Model X Plaid’s expected delivery date in Germany is similar to the Model S Plaid.
