I hadn"t planned to do this piece, but once again Elon Musk has outdone himself by unveiling what is arguably the most amazing car in the world. Or at least I"ve never wanted to get behind the wheel or just sit in the cabin so much after the announcement. Because in the new Tesla Model S Plaid, the passengers are probably even more fun than the driver. Musk himself described the new Tesla with the words, "This car rips."
Introducing the new Tesla, though, was simply vital. Tesla is somewhat similar to Apple in the sense that the company is able to sell the same design for years and years with admiration. For example, the original Tesla Model S has been on the scene for nearly 10 years. And while back then, like the iPhone, the Tesla was something unique, today it generally remains so, but competitors like Porsche, BMW, Mercedes and even Lucid Air are about to reach the finish line.
Fastest production car
When presenting the car, Elon Musk firstly announced that it"s the fastest production car in the world: "No production car has ever reached a hundred in less than two seconds. And people will remember that. Although, of course, you can pick on it, because what can be considered a production car? But it is necessary to remember who the target audience of the product is. Certainly, there are zealous automobile fans, but in the majority it is eco-friendly hipsters with money.
And Tesla Model S doesn"t let you down here. 1.99 seconds to 60 is very fast. 9.23 seconds to 250km/h (here Musk adds that it"s the fastest production car to do a quarter mile in under 10 seconds). 322 km/h is the top speed.
Crazy figures, especially taking into account that we are not talking about a hypercar or even a sports coupe. We are looking at a full-fledged four-door sedan, which has 1020 horsepower in its battery. Almost impossible figure for cars on internal combustion engines. Certainly, there are internal combustion engines cars with such power, but usually they are on tracks or at motor shows. You won"t find it on a normal road.
