Today you could discover New TESLA PLAID MODEL S - thanks to this detailed video of the car.
More powerful than the p100d a real p1000d

All the information is available weight, power, engine, space, trunk volume, number of seats, consumption.

And I give you my opinion and my feelings live on the vehicle tested.

The goal is to share together the positive and negative points of each vehicle and exchange comments with you.

On the Mécanique Sportive channel you will really find all types of cars, from the electric city car to the radical ultra sports car.
through the comfortable sedan.

Preview tests, exclusives and vehicles of enthusiasts which gives us the opportunity to share a beautiful video together.





Outside

We've made subtle changes to the exterior throughout the vehicle, rather than a drastic redesign. With this approach, the new Model S is instantly recognizable, thanks to its elegant and dynamic line, but also differentiable with its new attributes.



The design evolutions are mainly functional and contribute to the improvement of performance and dynamism.

The Model S Plaid thus weighs 45 kg less (2,162 kg) than the previous Model S Performance, despite the addition of a third engine.



Model S is equipped with a CCS charging port, with a maximum charging power of 250 kW. It can also sustain that peak power longer than previous Model S versions. With our new Model S Plaid, you can charge up to 291 km of range in 15 minutes. Like all Teslas, it benefits from free access to the Supercharger network, with pay-as-you-go.



And for the first time in history, the Model S can now tow up to 1,600 kg (as an accessory).



New platform

The Model S Dual Motor and Model S Plaid feature two all-new powertrains, both of which use our permanent magnet motors. We drew on the experience gained over a decade to develop them and learned from the Model S, X, 3 and Y, with the aim of building the best car in the world, faster than anything on the road, but also silent, comfortable and usable in all scenarios as a daily vehicle.



The new Model S engines started their career with the Model 3 and with relatively simple design and manufacturing changes, we use them in a variety of ways in our vehicles.

The Model S Plaid uses three permanent magnet motors, compared to an induction motor and a permanent magnet motor previously.



Of these 3 motors, 2 are on the rear axle and one on the front axle. The motor rotors are wrapped in a carbon sleeve, resulting in a "perfect power curve". At high rotational speeds, the carbon sleeve compresses the rotor and maintains extremely tight tolerances. So there is no drop in power as you increase speed = "the perfect power curve". This technology is exclusive to the Plaid versions, developed specifically and never seen before. We even designed a machine tool to produce this rotor.



How the powertrain works in a nutshell: From a standing start, the powertrain delivers maximum torque throughout the sprint until around 100 km/h, where it reaches its maximum output of over 1,000 horsepower, which is maintained up to the maximum speed. With that power, we've eliminated the need for a two-speed transmission, which reduces complexity, avoids increased weight and improves performance.

Performance

The Model S Plaid is the production vehicle with the fastest acceleration. Some numbers:

0-100 km/h in 2.1 seconds

400m standing start in 9.23 seconds, at 250 km/h

322 km/h top speed (requires hardware upgrade) / 282 km/h without upgrade

1020 peak horsepower

Track mode as standard, for track sessions

· Dragster mode as standard, for launches in a straight line



The Model S Plaid completed a Nurbugring timed lap of 7,35,579 in 2021.
