According to Musk, Model S Plaid is capable of accelerating to 60 miles per hour in less than 2 seconds and it can reach a top speed of up to 200 miles per hour.

According to current specifications posted on the auto maker’s website, its Model S Plaid will have a driving range of 390 to 412 miles, while another version of the vehicle, Model S Plaid Plus, will have a larger range – over 520 miles.
