Undoubtedly in recent years Tesla changed perceptions of electric cars and from small, urban and slightly ugly, they have become luxurious, technological and quite, quite fast.

Of course, most car manufacturers have tried not to lag behind the competition and the market for electric cars with enviable characteristics is now really diverse. But Tesla still wants to be number one.
The top model of the standard Model S, which we see more and more often on our roads, is called Plaid. He was introduced a few months ago with a serious request to be the fastest production car ever produced – only 1.99 seconds from 0 to 100 km.

With its electric power of 1020 hp. Model S Plaid has become a dream come true for everyone who wants to be really fast, but they are not given space sums. Because this Tesla starts from 130 thousand dollarsand looks and moves like a spaceship.
Another proof is the new record that the electric car improved earlier this month. The model got up the first in series production to cover 400 meters in less than nine seconds. With a top acceleration of 201 km / h in this short stretch, the Model S Plaid clocks the stopwatch in 8,994 seconds.

The car used for the test is completely a commodity and no modifications have been made to it, except that the front passenger seat has been removed for lightening. And in the driver’s seat is a woman – pilot Christine Dodworth. She managed to exceed Elon Musk’s expectations, who claimed that the Model S Plaid covered 400 meters in 9.23 seconds.
Tesla’s new speed record puts it in second place among all electric cars, as it is at the forefront Rimac Fridge from 2021 at a cost of two million dollars. The supercar is powered by four electric motors and earlier this year in tests passed the 400 meters in 8.6 seconds, reports the Daily Mail.
