Despite the occasional bouts of controversy, there’s no denying that Tesla has created some of the most impressive vehicles of this era. So impressive in fact, that they continue to be an industry benchmark for legacy carmakers looking to play catch-up in the EV sphere.
And if there’s one key takeaway that anyone who’s been in a Tesla at full pelt will attest to, it’s the acceleration. We’ve seen their four-door sedans and SUVs destroy lightweight, carbon fiber draped supercars with an unfathomable acceleration. Now, they’ve taken that one step further.
Tesla recently introduced the updated Model S that comes with some subtle exterior upgrades, bold changes to the interior, a redesigned battery pack for extended range and two tri-motor versions, the Plaid and Plaid+, with a combined output of 1,020 HP and 1,100+ HP respectively.
