FIRST DRIVE: 200mph Tesla Model S Plaid Track Package
The Tesla Model S Plaid, so named because it’s the only speed faster than Ludicrous in the 1987 Star Wars parody movie Spaceballs. Hashtag ElonHumour. Basically a tri-motor electric saloon with 1,020bhp, 1,050lb ft and all-wheel drive.
The combination allows for pretty brutal acceleration: in the US the Model S Plaid has been clocked at seconds to 62mph from rest, to 100mph, to 130mph and 0-150mph in seconds. The quarter-mile was completed in seconds at just over 150mph. It beats the Chiron up to 100mph.
So what does this Track Package add, then? Well, hopped-up battery conditioning for one, some different settings for the air suspension, and more aggressive torque vectoring. It’s the hardware that’s the most obvious though. For roughly £16,000 in the UK, you also get the carbon-ceramic brake package, high-temp brake fluid, and a ‘Zero-G’ wheel and tyre package that includes 20-inch lightweight wheels and Goodyear Supercar 3R tyres.
So has it helped fix some of the weak spots of the non-track pack Plaid? Over to Tom Ford to find out…
