The Tesla Model S Plaid is a scarecrow for many prestigious automotive crests in terms of performance. And the actual figures are quite up to the manufacturer’s claims.
“Disruptive” is undoubtedly the most used qualifier of recent years, but it is clear that it applies perfectly to the Tesla Model S Plaid. Who might have imagined, only a few years ago, that an electric car would even match or even exceed the performance of the most prestigious supercars in the world, and this, for a fraction of their price?
For this, the American is not powered by one or two but three electric motors providing a total of 1,020 hp and 1,423 Nm sent to the four wheels. What officially to pass this sedan close to 5 meters long and approaching 2.3 tons to go from 0 to 100 km / h in a supernatural 2.1 s.

But that’s not all and far from it. Indeed, this acceleration does not seem to ease too much once you reach a three-digit speed, as you can see in the video above made by AutoTopNL. During their test of the Plaid (with a round steering wheel!) on German motorways obviously without limitations, the Dutch indeed recorded a 0 to 100 km/h in 2.56 s and a 100 to 200 km/h in 4 .27 s before passing the 400 m mark in 9.62 s. No bridle at 282 km/h here since the Track Pack box at €18,435 has been checked on the order form. The 200 to 300 km/h therefore then took only 9.38 s before the Plaid reached a maximum speed of 328 km/h on the meter, with a GPS indicating 324 km/h, or 3 km/h. above Tesla’s claims.
This means that it went from a complete standstill to 300 km/h in 16.21 s. To put that time into perspective, that puts it almost halfway between the 15.6s recorded by the 1,063hp Mercedes-AMG One and the 16.6s of the 916hp McLaren P1…
