OVERVIEW

SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid showing just 6,928 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in a custom matte white and gloss black wrap with red accents over a cream and black cabin, this striking 1-of-1 electric rocket is stunning.

Few cars can claim to have revolutionized the automotive industry, but the Tesla Model S is in that camp. Turning legacy automakers upside down upon arrival, the Model S is a remarkable machine. Then there’s this particular model - the Plaid. 

The only giveaway is the Spaceballs-inspired Plaid emblem around back. A giveaway that means 1,020 horsepower, 1,050 lb-ft of torque, and world-beating performance like 0-60 mph in 1.99 seconds, the quarter mile in 9.23 seconds, and a top speed of 200 mph according to Tesla. 

Going much further, the Model S up for sale today has been taken to jaw-dropping levels of style. Involving 2 months of concept drawings and bespoke upgrades, this 2022 Plaid boasts a fully custom exterior design including spectacular Vossen wheels to go along with the fully-loaded factory package. All of which is detailed below.

SUMMARY

The Tesla Model S Plaid is a car that needs no introduction, but today's 2022 example is a uniquely exceptional model that stands out from the rest. It was purchased from the factory with every option available, a configuration that brought the original MSRP to $155,940. 

Close to $20,000 has been spent upgrading this Plaid into a vehicle that, as the seller notes, “gets attention everywhere I take it.” So extensive are the modifications that at a glance, you may not even recognize this car as a Tesla. In other words, this one-off Model S is truly unique. 

Of course, it’s also wickedly fast. Especially when Drag Strip mode is engaged and the Plaid gets into what Tesla calls “Cheetah Stance.” It's a car that is absolutely incredible in the context of the entire automotive arena, not just EVs, and is not to be missed.
