The Tesla Model S is one of the prolific American EV maker’s most popular models. Interestingly, it wasn’t their first – that honor goes to the initial Tesla Roadster. The Model S came much later, in 2012, and remains on sale, twelve years later. However, it’s received many updates over the years, including some truly ludicrous power figures for top-tier trims. This particular 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid is one of those, and should you desire, you can call upon just over a thousand horsepower to carry you away in style and swiftness. Furthermore, with a mere 21,600 miles on the clock, this car has only just started its life, and awaits a new owner to thrill.

Exterior and Interior

This particular 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid looks sinister, because it features a Satin Black wrap to give it a menacing vibe. However, beneath the wrap lies its original Pearl White Multicoat paint job, so you can easily revert back if desired. The 19-inch Tempest wheels are in black as well, and sport performance tires, as one would need when channeling a thousand horses to the blacktop in the most effective manner. The white interior of this 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid is a lesson in simplicity. All major controls are contained within the large central touchscreen atop the dashboard. Meanwhile, rear passengers are treated to a separate touchscreen as well. Despite looking spartan, the car packs ample features, including dual-zone automatic climate control, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a whole host of active and passive safety features. Furthermore, this 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid gets the optional Yoke steering wheel, which grants it a truly space-age vibe. In terms of cargo capacity, there’s a roomy trunk beneath the rear glass liftback, plus a second front trunk, or frunk for even more space.

Engine

As a Plaid variant, this 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid boasts a grand total of 1,020 horsepower going to all four wheels. This comes courtesy of a single front electric motor, and dual rear electric motors. Performance is literally breathtaking, as zero to sixty can be accomplished in a little over 2 seconds. Furthermore, Tesla says that with special tires, it can reach 200mph.
