Tesla has announced more about the Model S Plaid and Model S Plaid +. The freakishly powerful versions of the Model S are heading this way in 2022, and the price of both versions is known.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announces on Twitter that in the United States, delivery of the Tesla Model S Plaid will start on June 3. It is not such a party here in the Netherlands, but more is known for this as well. The Model S Plaid is expected in the first quarter of 2022 in the Netherlands. It is not yet known when the Model S Plaid + will come. Probably a little later in the new year, but at least not this year.
The Tesla Model S Plaid will be available in the Netherlands for a starting price of € 119,990. That was already the expected price, but it will be maintained. On top of that, count on a little more than a million delivery costs. The Model S Plaid has three electric motors that together produce 1,020 hp. The sprint from 0 to 100 km / h is completed in 2.1 seconds and the Model S Plaid has an estimated range of 628 km. Finally, the Model S Plaid achieves an extraordinarily impressive top speed of 322 km / h.
The Tesla Model S Plaid + goes a step further. According to Tesla, it not only sprints ‘faster than in 2.1 seconds’ to 100 km / h, but also has a larger estimated range. According to the manufacturer, this will take you no less than 837 km with a full battery, although this again applies that it is not yet an official WLTP value. The fact that it is faster than the Plaid is due to the even higher power of over 1,100 hp. The top speed of the Plaid + is incidentally, just like the Plaid, at 322 km / h. The Model S Plaid is € 10,000 more expensive than it initially seemed; the Dutch price is now € 149,990 and here too, roughly € 1,000 delivery costs are added. As mentioned, the Plaid + will also come our way next year, although it is not yet known exactly when.
For those who want it all a bit less extreme in terms of performance and price, the facelifted Tesla Model S also comes this way as a Long Range. It has an estimated range of 663 km, takes 3.2 seconds to complete the 0-100 sprint and will receive a Dutch starting price of € 89,990 excluding delivery costs. The Model S Long Range, like the Plaid, is expected in the first quarter of 2022 in the Netherlands.
