The new Tesla Model S Plaid debuted in June of 2021 as the most powerful Tesla to date. The Tesla Model S Plaid is one of the most powerful mass-production vehicles ever built thanks to its clever tri-motor all-wheel-drive setup. With one motor powering the front axle and an electric motor powering each wheel, the Tesla Model S Plaid boasts 1,020 horsepower (761 Kilowatts) and 1050 lb-ft (1,424 Newton Meters) of torque.
