Title: Tesla Model S Plaid Shocks with Lightning-Fast Acceleration Even Without Rear Seat
Introduction:
The Tesla Model S Plaid has already gained a reputation for its incredible speed and acceleration. Countless videos on YouTube show passengers’ amazed expressions as the Plaid rockets forward. However, one Model S Plaid owner has taken it a step further by removing the rear seat, resulting in even faster acceleration. In a new video released by AutoTopNL, the Checkered Model S achieves a mind-blowing 62 to 124 mph in just 3.99 seconds.
Unleashing the Lightning:
Although the only modification made to this Model S Plaid is the removal of the back seat, it still embodies the stock configuration. Equipped with three electric motors, it generates a remarkable 1,020 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. While eliminating the rear seats might not drastically reduce weight (since the leather-lined rear seat alone can weigh up to 100 pounds), even a slight reduction intensifies the car’s explosive performance.
A Speed Demon on the Autobahn:
The video showcases the Model S Plaid as it tears down the German Autobahn, providing a suitable environment to explore its limits. During one of the high-speed runs, the car achieves the previously mentioned acceleration from 62 to 124 mph in an astonishing 3.99 seconds. Additionally, it completes the quarter-mile in just 9.33 seconds. This specific Model S Plaid is equipped with the Track package, enabling it to reach an impressive top speed of 200 mph. In the video, it reaches a mind-boggling 203 mph, a feat unimaginable for a four-door family sedan.
Exhilaration and Comfort:
The acceleration offered by the Model S Plaid, while undoubtedly thrilling, may not be the most comfortable experience. Passengers might liken it to being catapulted from an aircraft carrier deck. However, despite not matching the speed of the Model S Plaid that was transformed into a 1,020 horsepower kart, showcased in a separate video, the Checkered Model S in this video still remains a fully functional car suitable for two passengers. In contrast to the optional yoke, it features a traditional steering wheel, better suited for high-speed driving.
Conclusion:
The Tesla Model S Plaid continues to astound with its incredible performance, and the Checkered Model S in this AutoTopNL video showcases an even more formidable acceleration. By removing the rear seat, the car achieves unparalleled speeds, going from 62 to 124 mph in a mere 3.99 seconds. With its three electric motors generating an incredible amount of power, this modified Model S Plaid truly pushes the boundaries of what a family sedan can achieve. While comfort might be sacrificed for sheer speed, the Checkered Model S remains a testament to Tesla’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle performance.
