The Tesla Model S Plaid still feels like the ultimate EV

The 2026 Tesla Model S Plaid remains one of the most remarkable electric cars ever made. Even though its platform is now more than a decade old, the Plaid still delivers an experience few rivals can match. With 1020 horsepower, 0 to 100 kmh acceleration in just 2.1 seconds, and a top speed of 322 kmh, it feels more like a road legal missile than a normal luxury sedan. The cabin keeps Tesla’s extreme minimalist approach with a yoke steering wheel, no traditional stalks, a huge central display, and excellent software integration. It also remains a comfortable long distance cruiser thanks to its 611 km WLTP range and seamless Supercharger network. Some controls can feel awkward and the standard brakes work hard under extreme speed, but the Model S Plaid still offers incredible performance for the price.
