What is the price of a fully equipped 2023 Tesla Model S, with the very quick Plaid all-wheel drive (AWD)?

[{"selector":"#anim-b1df5390-a11a-446c-ba3c-f98b85e108fe [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Although the price gap between trims seems to be significant at $30,000,

the Plaid's tri-motor platform produces 1,020 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque.

The Plaid is among the strongest and quickest electric vehicles available today as a consequence.

Even still, the cost doesn't deter owners from purchasing and using their EVs for extended periods

Based on iSeeCars' statistics about average yearly mileage, the Model S ranks fourth among all electric

9,340 miles were driven annually by drivers, which is 281 miles more than the US EV average.

Fully loading a 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid will push the starting price well above MSRP

For instance, adding Full Self-Driving capability (FSD), 21-inch Arachnid wheels,
