About the Model S:
The Tesla Model S is a battery-powered liftback car produced by
Tesla, Inc. It was introduced on June 22, 2012 and is positioned as
Tesla's flagship model.
In 2013, the Model S became the first electric car to top the
monthly new-car-sales ranking in any country, leading twice in
Norway, in September and December 2013 and in Denmark in December
2015. Sales passed 250,000 units in September 2018.The Model S was
the top-selling plug-in electric car worldwide in 2015 and 2016,
although it was later surpassed by the Model 3.
In an early review of the Model S, Consumer Reports declared, "This
car performs better than anything we've ever tested before. Let me
repeat that: Not just the best electric car, but the best car. It
does just about everything really, really well." In 2019, Motor
Trend named the 2013 Tesla Model S the ultimate "Car of the Year"
over the magazine's entire 70-year history. It received a refresh
in June 2021.
The Palladium refresh was announced in January 2021 with initial
deliveries in June 2021. The refresh included a new interior, new
powertrain, suspension and thermal management amongst other
improvements. The refresh originally consisted of three models, the
Long Range (LR), the Plaid, and the Plaid+, although the Plaid+ was
cancelled shortly before deliveries began. The "Plaid" name is
applied to the performance model and is a reference to the only
speed faster than "Ludicrous" in the movie Spaceballs.
The Plaid model includes one motor for the front axle and two
motors for the rear axle; its starting price was $131,100. At the
core of the Plaid's performance are innovative new motors featuring
a carbon-wrapped rotor to allow much higher motor RPM. Musk said
that this presented challenges, because carbon and copper (the
rotor material) have different thermal expansion rates. The Long
Range model includes the front motor and a single rear motor; its
starting price was $80k, but it was raised to $85k soon after
deliveries began. "Track Mode" allows for adjustment from 100% FWD
to 100% RWD in 5% increments, traction control strength in 21
stages and regenerative braking strength from 0% to 100% in 5%
increments.
At its debut, the Palladium models had the lowest drag coefficient
of any production car, with Cd=0.208.191 #fn191 The new HVAC system
uses a heat pump that Tesla says provides 30% longer range and
requires 50% less energy in cold weather conditions than the
previous Model S. Charging was said to increase by 187 miles (301
km) in 15 minutes (on a 250 kW Supercharger). The interior features
a non-circular "yoke" steering wheel, a landscape-oriented center
screen, a screen for the rear passengers, increased headroom and
legroom, particularly in the rear seat area, lower noise via
acoustic glass, a new, customizable user interface, and improved
gaming (via the AMD RDNA 2 GPU). The company estimated that
deliveries will reach 1000/week in Q3 of 2021.
The Plaid has 1,020 horsepower (760 kW) and 1,050 pound-feet (1,420
N�m) of torque. It was independently tested by Motor Trend to go
0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in 2.07 seconds (1.98 on a prepped drag strip,
ex. with PJ1 TrackBite) and cover a quarter-mile (400 m) in 9.34
seconds at 152.2 mph (244.9 km/h).194 #fn194 Tesla said it will
reach a 200 mph (320 km/h) top speed.
