Lot STK443409: 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid

Here’s what you can expect from the 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid in real-world conditions:

Range:

• EPA rated: 348 miles
• Highway at 70 mph: ~300 miles (InsideEVs test)
• Highway at 75 mph: ~280 miles (Car & Driver test)
• Mixed city/highway: ~345 miles (Edmunds test)

The Plaid actually gets closer to its EPA rating than most Teslas - about 86% at highway speeds vs the typical 75-80%.

DC Fast Charging (V3 Supercharger):

• Peak power: 250 kW
• 10-80% charge: ~29 minutes
• Can add about 180 miles of range in 15 minutes under ideal conditions

The charging curve is impressive - it holds above 200 kW until about 40% charge, then gradually tapers. This makes it one of the quickest-charging EVs tested.

Bottom line: Expect around 280-300 miles of real highway range and about 30 minutes for a 10-80% charge on Tesla’s fastest Superchargers.
