Tesla has been subjected to quite a lot of criticism from enthusiasts because even though the cars are seriously quick, the company’s EVs tend to gradually lose performance when the battery charge drops. That’s true to some extent, but in the case of the new Model S Plaid<\/a>, a nearly depleted battery still has enough juice to help the electric sedan deliver hypercar levels of acceleration.<\/p>\n

YouTuber DragTimes<\/em> is an early adopter of the Plaid and he decided to conduct a performance test while the battery was at a 20% state of charge. His range-topping Model S consumed most of the energy while racing “all night long” at the drag strip where the EV did roughly 40 quarter-mile runs, losing about 2% of the battery charge with each run.<\/p>\n
