2022 Tesla Model S Plaid

The Model S is Tesla's flagship sedan, a large hatchback that set the template for modern electric luxury cars. It's remarkably quick in any form, with the Plaid's triple-motor setup delivering neck-snapping acceleration that still feels composed. The air suspension smooths out most roads, though the ride can feel firm over sharp bumps in the sportier settings. Inside, the cabin is minimal and airy, with a huge touchscreen controlling nearly everything and plenty of room for four adults. The Plaid swaps the Long Range's dual motors for a tri-motor setup and a massive power jump, making it one of the quickest production sedans ever. Its tri-motor all-wheel drive and 1020 horsepower push you from a stop with brutal, immediate force, yet the 396 miles of range means you can still take it on road trips. The Plaid gets a carbon-fiber rotor wrap in its rear motor that helps sustain that acceleration on repeated hard launches.
