Tesla Model S Plaid: It's 'kick-ass,' Musk says at live event
The Tesla Model S Plaid presentation is about to go live in California. Tesla redefined electric cars in 2012 when it launched its high-end Model S with a sleek design and long driving range, but it is facing a raft of new challengers. CEO Elon Musk has not said whether he will take the stage, but he has been on Twitter promoting the new model, which is priced at $129,990, against $79,990 for a long-range Model S. The latest price for the Model S Plaid is $10,000 more than what was displayed a few days ago on Tesla's website.
