25 customers received a redesigned Tesla Model S “Plaid”.

The Silicon Valley automaker has priced at $ 130,000 for the new robotic version of the Model S “Plaid”, as the “quickest production vehicle ever made,” with the ability to go from 0-60mph in under 2 seconds.

Why so fast? “We’ve got to show that an electric car is the best car, hands down,” Musk said at Thursday night’s event. “It’s got to be clear sustainable energy cars can be the fastest cars, the safest cars, can be the most kick-ass cars in every way.”

“There are essentially zero trips above 400 miles where the driver doesn’t need to stop for restroom, food, coffee, etc. anyway,” he said.

The new Model S “Plaid” is the first redesign of the sedan since its launch in 2012 and has put Tesla on track for its current status as the world’s best electric car company. The exterior design is largely unchanged (although it has a super low drag coefficient of 0.208), and the interior has received a big facelift.

Model S “Plaid” now has a horizontal touchscreen like the one found in the Model 3 and Model Y, but with a bigger 17-inch version with smaller bezels. Unlike the Model 3 and Model Y, there’s a digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. A third screen is found behind the center console for rear passengers. Tesla showed off a new UI for the screens on Thursday night, which features drag-and-drop elements and other refinements.

The Model S Plaid has extremely powerful processing that can run AAA games on the car’s screens at 60 frames per second, in addition to powering all of the other services Tesla allows, such as Netflix, Spotify.

“Really, it’s like a home theater experience,” Musk said.

Tesla has also changed a lot under the proverbial hood. The Model S Plaid is powered by a new tri-motor drivetrain that Tesla originally started developing for the forthcoming second-generation Roadster. (The company tested the Plaid powertrain in a Model S sedan at famous racetracks: Laguna Seca and the Nurburgring.) Those three motors collectively put down around 1,000 horsepower, and the car can reach a top speed of 200 miles per hour — though only when outfitted certain wheels and tires that won’t be available until later this year.

“It hits you right in the limbic system,” Musk said.
