Tesla Model S Plaid is the top-performance and most advanced variant of the electric sedan.
In this video, We are going to tell you about “Tesla Model S Plaid- The Most Advanced Car In
The World”. The video is going to be amazing so make sure you stick till the end.
Along with a few big records, Tesla has broken the internet.
After much waiting, now the Tesla Model S Plaid EV is ready for buyer's deliveries.
Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, recently took to Twitter to announce the Plaid Plus’ cancellation.
But promised the Model S Plaid will deliver soon. Elon Musk said Tesla’s latest vehicle,
The Model S Plaid, features the “most advanced” motor on Earth.
The Model S was Tesla’s flagship car, a car that appeals to the widest segment of customers
and really demonstrated that EV could be not just environmentally friendly
but also competitive and attractive with traditional combustion alternatives.
In 2012, Tesla redefined electric cars, when it launched its long driving range, high-end Model
S with a sleek design, Elon Musk said that the Model S Plaid was designed for the future. Tesla
launched its Model S plaid, aiming to fend off rivals such as Mercedes-Benz, Lucid Motors,
and Porsche in the luxury EV market. The Model S Plaid is the best performance variant
of the electric sedan. This car replaces the Model S Performance. With its triple motor setup,
Model S Plaid gets an elevated level of dynamic performance. The estimated driving range is 390
miles and the most powerful sports sedan goes from zero to 60 miles per hour in 1.99 seconds.
‘’On June 6, Elon Musk announced that the company had canceled the Model S Plaid Plus which happens
to be the most expensive version. That version was supposed to go 520 miles on a full battery and a
starting price of almost 150,000 dollars. Elon Musk said that Tesla plans to deliver
several hundred Model S Plaids per week and will grow in the next quarter to deliver up to 1,000
cars per week. But he didn’t tell the reason for canceling the Tesla Model Plaid Plus.
The launch of the Tesla Model S Plaid has faced some controversy over airplane-style
yoke steering wheel and delay. In 2019, the company has been teasing the Model S Plaid
and on June 3 its delivery was scheduled to start. But Elon Musk announced on May 29
that the Electric vehicle manufacturer is delaying its Model S Plaid delivery event as the Model S
Plaid needs more tuning. The delivery event is now scheduled for the mid or end of June.
Elon Musk compared the Model S Plaid’s entertainment system to
the Sony PlayStation 5 and said its expected sound system of 22 speakers
offer a home theater-like experience. The Model S Plaid has the most powerful
processing, powering all of the services Tesla allows, such as Spotify, Netflix,
and the best part is that it can run AAA games on the car’s screens at 60 fps .
“Really, it’s like a home theater experience,” Musk said.
The exterior design of Model S Plaid is largely unchanged and the interior of this version has
received a big facelift. In the center of the vehicle there’s a large touchscreen that controls
almost everything. The Model S Plaid has a horizontal touchscreen like the one found in
the Model Y and Model 3, but with a wide size of 17 inches with smaller bezels.
This is very useful for drivers, as drivers don’t have to take their eyes off the road as much.
The infotainment screen will be complemented by a software-defined “hi-fi”, which will be
improved with over-the-air updates. Recently, Tesla showed off the latest UI for the screens,
which features many refinements and drag-and-drop elements. Perhaps most
welcome of all, there is the latest UI with much greater customization than ever before.
This was long overdue. The navigation system is also improved as based on your synchronized
calendar, you can guess where you want to go. Unlike Model Y and Model 3, there is a digital
instrument cluster. What’s also nice is that the company kept the digital gauge cluster
in front of the driver, which is better for drivers. The 3rd screen for rear passengers
in this model is found behind the center console. There are other upgrades, too,
such as rear-seat wireless phone chargers as well as more room for rear passengers.
The minimalist interior comes with touch controls for the driver and a yoke-steering wheel. Most
of the new cabin looks very amazing, it’s elegant, clean, and seemingly ergonomic.
But there is one issue that is causing lots of heat on the internet, its steering wheel. The
yolk-like steering wheel with no top, a driver’s hands can slip off in the event of a collision.
Also, it makes the act of moving your hands across the steering wheel to make lock-to-lock turns
extremely awkward. It does look cool but it seems a bit impractical at best, with no noticeable
advantage. There is no benefit to the steering yolk-style other than a futuristic aesthetic.
There is no doubt that the Model Plaid is the fastest production car around, with a
much-improved interior, amazing range, and backed up by one of the most reliable charging networks
in the world. But not all these qualities are the primary purchasing criteria for many customers.
Musk refers to the Model Plaid interior as the future,
but still some buyers want something more traditional.
In the new Model S Plaid, the battery pack has been optimized and revised.
Elon Musk said that the new Model S is the most advanced to date. With DC 250kW fast charging,
the battery pack can replenish 301 kilometers in 15 minutes. It is also the first model of Tesla
to feature 3 permanent magnet motors with torque vectoring. Yes! This Tesla model is
powered by a new tri-motor drivetrain. The car can reach a top speed of 200 miles per hour.
The Plaid model 3 electric motors produce 1000 horsepower. The company estimates that the new
model will achieve EPA range figures of 350 or 390 miles on a single charge,
depending on which wheel-and-tire combination the vehicle is wearing.
Musk highlights some improvements including carbon-wrapped rotors, a new battery pack, and a
tri-motor powertrain. The name “Plaid” refers to a scene in the 1987 comedy movie “Spaceballs” . This
is a halo model, aimed to expand its customer base and generate excitement around the sedan, with
the company needing to successfully roll out new models including Semi-trucks and Cybertruck.
Tesla has been working on heat pumps , Tesla says the heat pump reduces the consumption of energy
by 50% and improves the cold-weather range by 30%. The company developed new carbon-wrapped
rotors in order to keep the Plaid system from breaking apart at high RPM. Elon Musk claims
that the Model S Plaid will be safer than most other EVs based on Tesla’s internal data.
The new Model S has not yet been tested by safety regulators. One possible issue that buyers can
face is safety, the yoke U-shaped steering wheel, was a surprise to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration. In February, When musk was asked by Joe Rogan whether he thought the
yoke U-shaped steering wheel was legal, the CEO said “they use a yoke in Formula One.”
Even Rimac launched a supercar, that is considered the fastest production car until this moment.
But to bring in a luxurious sedan, With an advanced autonomous driving system,
A series-production levels of reliability, and a sub-600km range
puts Tesla at the top of the hierarchy. It would also take a lot of time for any car manufacturer
to match Tesla in terms of ecosystem, performance, and software technology.
Tesla Model S Plaid cars won’t reach Europe until 2022 and won’t arrive in the UK until
the end of 2022. The rest of us will still have to look and wait for a long time.
