The Model S' new interior has a 17-inch screen and that weird steering yoke.

The Model S Plaid gets new carbon fiber or wood trim along with increased interior storage. Rear passengers are treated to more generously bolstered sets with more room, a fold-down armrest, and there's an 8-inch screen that offers the same infotainment and gaming functions as the front display. The Model S comes standard with a glass roof, three-zone climate control, a 22-speaker audio system, heated seats for all passengers and ventilated front seats.
Pricing for the Tesla Model S Plaid starts at $131,100 -- including $1,200 for destination but not including any potential tax credits -- which is
$10,000 more than originally expected
. White is the only no-cost exterior color, with black, gray and blue costing $1,500, and red coming in at $2,500. The standard all-black interior option is free, but both the black-and-white and cream options cost $2,000. Finally, the only other add-on is the misleadingly named Full Self-Driving option, for $10,000. As a reminder, the Tesla Model S is absolutely not a self-driving car; the company's Autopilot tech is an
SAE-classified Level 2 driver-assistance system
. All in, a fully loaded Model S Plaid costs $145,600 before available savings. The cars are available to order now.
In addition to the Model S, Tesla will soon offer a
Plaid version of its Model X crossover
. The larger Tesla EV will have 1,020 hp, a 2.5-second 0-to-60-mph time, a 163-mph top speed and a 340-mile estimated range. The Model X Plaid is priced at $121,100 including destination, and the first deliveries are slated for January or February of 2022.
