Model S Plaid

The Tesla Model S Plaid is a 5-seat liftback with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2025, when it cost £100,000 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds, quicker than 99% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 348 miles (560 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 94% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 6th of 38 liftbacks.

It uses around 3.7 mi/kWh (170 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 95 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 140 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 395 miles (636 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L).

Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £32,300–£37,800 and a 2025 one at £57,000–£65,000, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 321 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
