MotorTrend's Christian Seabaugh and Erick Ayapana head to the Auto Club Famoso Raceway to test out how long it takes the 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid to go from 0 to 60 mph. Tesla's new Model S Plaid promises incredible acceleration but does it deliver?

00:02 Hi guys, Christian Seabott from Motor Trend here,
00:06 and we are at Famoso Raceway
00:08 with the new 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid.
00:11 This is the latest and greatest Model S
00:12 with three motors, 1,020 horsepower, 1,050 pound feet
00:16 of torque, and we're here to see how quick it goes.
00:18 (upbeat music)
00:21 (upbeat music)
00:23 I'm here with our road test editor, Eric Iapagna.
00:38 He's the man behind the wheel,
00:40 and he just finished his run in the Model S Plaid.
00:42 What'd you think?
00:43 It was completely insane, completely bonkers.
00:46 The car did great.
00:48 Usually with EVs in our past experience,
00:49 they're usually one and done.
00:51 That was absolutely not the case here.
00:53 I probably did four or five runs,
00:55 and the times were like spot on.
00:57 And for more, please head to MotorTrend.com.
