How fast is the Tesla Model S Plaid? So fast that to avoid injuring your neck when you floor it you need to look straight forward and push back against the headrest. So fast, drag strips may ban it from races unless it’s fitted with a parachute. So fast, it can go from zero to 60 mph in just under two seconds. One … two … yeah, that fast.
Now imagine this battery-powered cheetah on your street. Its awesome power is pent up as it putts along with the traffic like a Ford Fiesta. Unless, of course, the driver succumbs to the urge to tamp on the gas pedal, in which case crazy and frightening things could happen.
