NOBODY HAS A CHANCE AGAINST TESLA

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model S Plaid has arrived, and initial reviews from Motor Trend and Jason Cammisa paint a picture of a truly exceptional vehicle. While the sub-2-second 0-60 mph time was achieved with specific track conditions (VHT), the car still delivered a blistering 2.07 seconds under more standard Motor Trend testing, cementing its status as the quickest car tested by the publication. Beyond straight-line speed, reviewers lauded the Plaid's overall refinement, comfort, and quietness, calling it the best Tesla yet and a monumental achievement. The new interior, combining elements from Model 3/Y with a faster screen, was also praised, though the yoke steering wheel drew mixed reactions, particularly at low speeds. Cammisa declared the Plaid superior to the S-Class and the fastest car ever made, with a price point that leaves competitors with no chance. Battery details reveal a slightly smaller 100 kWh pack compared to the previous Model S Performance, contributing to weight savings without significantly impacting range. Potential future additions like a track package with active aero are also hinted at.
