In America, Tesla he decided to no longer accept orders for your Model S Plaid +, the sportier version of the its electric flagship. Apparently, the American carmaker would have made this decision because of the long delivery times. Indeed, the latest times indicated on the configurator estimated a wait until the middle of 2022 for new orders.

Curiously, in other markets, such as in Europe, the Model S Plaid + continues to be orderable. The reason for this different choice is not clear. It can be assumed that most of the bookings come from American customers. To prevent the queue from stretching further, Tesla may have decided to stop orders only in this market.
In any case, delivery times to other countries are always very long. In Italy, for example, we speak generically of 2022. In the United Kingdom, even the end of 2022. With the imminent start of deliveries of the Model S Plaid, it is not clear what the problems are leading to the Plaid + delays. One reason could be related to the new batteries but it could also be another. The hope is that this very high-performance model does not end up like the new Roadster that a few years after its presentation has not yet arrived on the road.
You can not help but wait for more information from Tesla to understand when this model will really debut. The feeling, however, is that the wait will be very long. Please note that according to the manufacturer, this specific model equipped with 3 electric models has over 1,100 hp (809 kW) and is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 2.1 seconds. The maximum speed reaches 322 km / h. The autonomy is astounding since Tesla declares one distance up to 837 km.
Maybe some more information will be communicated next June 3 when an event dedicated to the first deliveries of the Model S Plaid will be held. An opportunity to discover new details of the restyling of the electric flagship of which Tesla has never had any in-depth analysis and the delivery times of these cars.
