Insanely Fast, Incredibly Practical

The Tesla Model X Plaid is a unique beast-a 7-seater SUV that can outrun supercars. With three motors, over 1,000 hp, and 0-100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds, it's the fastest SUV in production-and it still hauls groceries and kids with ease.

 

Despite its insane speed, the Model X Plaid doesn't forget it's also a luxury family vehicle. Whether you're ferrying the kids to school or embarking on a weekend road trip, this vehicle does it all-with brutal acceleration just a tap away. The cabin is whisper-quiet even at high speeds, making everyday commutes feel like a ride in a private jet.

 

Inside, you'll find a yoke-style steering wheel, cinema-grade rear display, ventilated and heated seating, and more than enough tech to run a spaceship. The 22-speaker premium sound system, wireless gaming controller compatibility, and tri-zone climate system make this interior a haven for both driver and passengers. Add to that Tesla's Full Self-Driving capability, and you've got a vehicle that feels like it belongs in the future.

 

With a WLTP range of up to 543 km, the Model X Plaid proves that this isn't just about speed-it's still a Tesla at its core. Long-distance drives, road trips, and daily errands are all effortless thanks to the vast Tesla Supercharger network across Australia. It's fast, smart, and still surprisingly practical.

Standard Tyres for Model X Plaid (Australia)

Tesla fits the Plaid with staggered high-performance tyres:

• Front: 265/35 R22 108Y
• Rear: 285/35 R22 112Y

These tyres are made for high-speed grip, cornering, and torque transfer. The extra-wide stance adds stability, but expect a firmer ride and shorter tyre life, especially under aggressive driving.

 

Load indexes of 108-112 mean each tyre supports 1,000-1,120 kg-crucial for the large battery pack and torque.

Tyre Considerations

Model X Plaid drivers should only use Y-speed rated tyres with EV certification. These tyres are designed to handle extreme speeds, heavy curb weight, and sustained torque. The performance demands are immense-so tyre rotation, wheel alignment, and pressure checks are critical for maintaining optimal handling, safety, and efficiency.

 

Also, be prepared to replace your tyres more frequently if you enjoy the full performance this vehicle offers. High-speed driving and hard launches can significantly reduce tread life.

Final Thoughts

The Plaid is part family SUV, part rocket ship. But even rockets need good tyres- choose wisely to keep your ride smooth, safe, and worthy of its record-breaking potential.
