Head over to Tesla’s website at the page dedicated to the Model S Plaid and you’ll see a quarter-mile time of 9.23 seconds at 155 mph (250 km\/h). The company claims it\u2019s the quickest-accelerating production vehicle in the world, although the Rimac Nevera<\/a> would beg to differ with its amazing 8.62-second run at a 171.79 mph (276.46 km\/h) trap speed.<\/p>\n

Tesla has yet to demonstrate the real-life performance of its hot electric sedan, but it could happen as soon as June 10 when a dedicated delivery event<\/a> will be organized for early adopters of the Model S Plaid. Meanwhile, a lot has been written about its quarter-mile time, following the car’s appearance a the Autoclub Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield back in May.<\/p>\n
