The Tesla Model S Plaid and Model X Plaid arrive in Europe, orders are open
Orders for the Tesla Model S Plaid and Model X Plaid are now open in France, for shipment from the very end of 2022. The Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive versions will not arrive until 2023.
Tesla announces this August 3, 2022 by press release the availability of its Model S Plaid and Model X Plaid vehicles in Europe. French consumers can now order one of these cars on the official Tesla website, which has been updated with the latest features, options and prices for the occasion. Customer deliveries will begin between November and December 2022.
As a reminder, the Plaid versions update the Model S and Model X released respectively in 2012 and 2015 (in 2013 and 2016 in Europe). These benefit from new interiors, an improved powertrain, new temperature management, new electronics, a new chassis, reduced weight and slightly refined exterior styling.

Many options can then raise the bill. On a Tesla Model S Plaid, for example, the standard color is pearl white. It will cost you 1800 euros to choose the black color and 2200 euros for gray, blue or red. The 21 inch rims instead of 19 inches are sold for 4900 euros. Interior color change, Autopilot and fully autonomous driving are also available for a fee.
Finally, Tesla says European deliveries of the Model S and Model X Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive will begin in 2023. It’s not possible to order either of these vehicles at this time, but the brand is already letting users make a reservation.
