The Tesla Model S Plaid is the fastest Tesla on the market and has a staggering 0-60mph time, as well as an unusual way of opening.
Tesla launched the Model S Plaid in 2021, and it’s currently the fastest Tesla you can buy.
It has three motors that produce a combined output of more than 1,000 horsepower and can hit 0-60mph in just 1.98 seconds, which is faster than a fighter jet.
The EV also has an unusual keyless way of opening, and you can see it in action in the clip above.
