Main features

The Tesla Model S Plaid stands out for its unique technical parameters. Thanks to advanced technology, this model provides an effective interaction between performance, range and comfort. Three electric motors provide all-wheel drive, improved traction and power distribution between the axles.

The 100 kWh battery guarantees a long service life, while the Tesla Supercharger network ensures fast charging. Additional features such as automatic battery conditioning and integrated driving software add to the ease of use.

Thanks to an advanced set of safety features, the Tesla Model S Plaid has received high marks in Euro NCAP tests, providing protection for the driver, passengers and pedestrians. The interior of the car is made of premium materials and offers innovative solutions, such as a 17-inch touchscreen for controlling all functions.

Engine and Performance

Tesla Model S Plaid is equipped with a three-motor system that provides all-wheel drive (AWD). This configuration guarantees high performance and stability on the road, regardless of weather conditions or type of surface.

The total power of the electric motors is 760 kW (1,033 horsepower), which allows the car to accelerate to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds. The top speed reaches 282 km/h, making it one of the fastest electric vehicles in the world.

Key characteristics of the engine:

• Power: 760 kW (1033 horsepower).
• Drive: all-wheel drive (AWD).
• Acceleration 0-100 km/h: 2.3 seconds.
• Top speed: 282 km/h.

The unique three-motor system allows power to be distributed between the wheels as efficiently as possible, providing both high dynamics and excellent handling even at high speeds.

Power reserve

The Tesla Model S Plaid impresses with its range, which reaches 645 km in the combined cycle (according to real-world tests) and 790 km in the city under ideal conditions. This is achieved thanks to the large battery capacity and optimised energy consumption.

In cold weather, the range is reduced due to the need to heat the cabin and battery, but even in such conditions, the car can cover up to 525 km in the city cycle.

Range characteristics depending on conditions:

• Urban cycle (warm weather): 790 km.
• Motorway (warm weather): 535 km.
• Combined cycle (warm weather): 645 km.
• Urban cycle (cold weather): 525 km.
• Motorway (cold weather): 410 km.
• Combined cycle (cold weather): 470 km.

This car is an ideal choice for long journeys thanks to its fast charging capabilities and the sophisticated Tesla Supercharger infrastructure.

Battery and Charging

The Model S Plaid is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a nominal capacity of 100 kWh and a usable capacity of 95 kWh. This battery provides a long range and consistent performance. The battery is based on NCA (Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminium) technology, which ensures its durability and high efficiency.

The car can be charged both at home and at Tesla Supercharger fast charging stations. Thanks to the fast charging support with a maximum capacity of 250 kW, the Model S Plaid can be charged to 80% in just 30 minutes. In addition, the charging port supports Type 2 standards for AC and CCS for DC.

Before you start charging, it is important to note that home charging is best suited for overnight use, when there is sufficient time to fully charge. For travelling, fast charging stations are available to minimise downtime. An intelligent preconditioning system automatically prepares the battery for charging by keeping it at the optimum temperature.

Charging parameters:

• Home charging power (Type 2): 11 kW.
• Full charging time at home: 10 hours and 15 minutes.
• Charging speed at home: 55 km of range per hour.
• Maximum fast charging power (Supercharger): 250 kW.
• Charging time on the Supercharger (10-80%): 30 minutes.
• Charging speed on the Supercharger: up to 780 km of range per hour.

The Tesla Model S Plaid is one of the most convenient cars to charge thanks to its extensive Supercharger network and support for various charging methods. This allows drivers to choose the most convenient option depending on the situation - from overnight charging at home to fast charging while travelling.

Energy consumption

Tesla Model S Plaid demonstrates a high level of energy efficiency, given its power and performance. The energy consumption of a car depends on the operating conditions, such as driving style, speed, air temperature and other external factors. In urban environments, thanks to effective regenerative braking, the car consumes significantly less energy than on motorways.

In real-world conditions, the average energy consumption of the Model S Plaid is between 120 and 232 Wh/km, depending on weather conditions and driving speed. In warm weather, energy consumption is lowest, while in cold weather, energy consumption increases due to the need to heat the cabin and battery.

Power consumption characteristics:

• In urban environments (warm weather): 120 Wh/km.
• On the motorway (warm weather): 178 Wh/km.
• In a combined cycle (warm weather): 147 Wh/km.
• In urban environments (cold weather): 181 Wh/km.
• On the motorway (cold weather): 232 Wh/km.
• In the combined cycle (cold weather): 202 Wh/km.

Tesla also provides drivers with access to an integrated energy monitoring system through the on-board computer, which allows them to optimise their driving style to improve energy efficiency.

Security.

Tesla Model S Plaid received the highest marks in crash tests, which confirms its reliability and high level of safety. In 2022, the model was tested by Euro NCAP and received the following results:
