Model S Plaid Receives EPA Rating

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a rating of 387 miles range for the Tesla Model S Plaid with 19-inch wheels and 348 miles with 21-inch wheels.

The rating is slightly under Tesla’s figures of 390 miles of range. Still, pairing that amount of range, 1.99-second 0-60 mph time, and a reported record quarter-miles run for a production vehicle, is quite a statement from an all-electric four-door sedan.

Last week, the company’s 2021 Tesla Model S Long Range Plus received a rating of 405 miles of range and a combined city/highway MPGe of 120.

The figures are are an improvement over the 2020 Tesla Model S Long Range Plus, which had an EPA rating of 402 miles of range and 117 MPGe, as well as the 2020 Tesla Model S Long Range that was rated at 373 miles of range and 111 MPGe.

The Model S Plaid is priced at $129,990 before options.
