CAR magazine UK drives the Tesla Model S Plaid electric car with pictures, specs and verdict
at least right? Not least because it comes from one of the car industry’s most talked-about brands… for all the good and bad reasons you can think of.
Naturally, though, the focus of any Tesla interior is the technology on board. The driver’s instrument cluster remains resolutely familiar, complete with its animated visualisation of what the car sees ahead of it. The bigger difference is the central screen; gone is the portrait one inset into the dashboard, replaced by a 17-inch widescreen display that can be angled towards the driver or passenger or inset into the dashboard.
As well as being a 0-60mph time , the 1.99-second quote removes the rollout from the standardised 0-60mph measurement in which a car actually moves about a foot forward before triggering the start of speed traps. Some say that can add up to 0.3 seconds to a time if included. Even without using the drag launch tech, the Plaid acceleration mode is a pure gut punch, with even fiercer acceleration than some of the world’s best launch-start roller coasters. It’s almost supernaturally fast, silently launching itself into the distance with such ease that, if you so much as twitch your foot on the throttle at any time in Plaid mode, all of that 1000+bhp is supplied to you in an instant.
