If you’re eyeing the Tesla Model S or Model X, you’re probably aware that the vehicles are more or less unavailable. Indeed, the manufacturer has decided to stop production to focus on the development of new versions still more efficient than ever. But these are finally out, after two years of preparation and first deliveries across the Atlantic last year. Customers who have ordered are thus beginning to receive their goods, while some had gone to checkout, sometimes several semesters in advance. Elon Musk’s firm continued to accept payments, but notifying consumers of time limit who were waiting for them.
Be aware, however, that if you order a Model S or Model X now, it does not mean that you will be able to drive it anytime soon. Because even today the shipping dates are still quite distant. For the SUV with gullwing doors, the delivery indicates between January and March 2023 for those who opt for the Plaid version in pearl white multilayer color and with a black interior as standard. The price of the corresponding racing car amounts to 141,990 euros according to official prices, for a range of 543 km and a maximum speed of 262 km/h.
Model S Plaid: the must-have at full speed
With this, Tesla also offers the Model S in its Plaid version in France and elsewhere in Europe. For 138,990 euros, the beast reaches the 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds only, but can also only be delivered there in 2023 earlier. Rated at 1,020 horsepower, the car incorporates three motors with carbon-coated rotors and the fastest acceleration on the market of any brand.

When ordering, buyers can opt for the paint of their choice between white, black, grey, blue or red. Some shades will still require an investment of several thousand euros more than the base price.
Pay in installments
What if your budget is currently too limited? Do not panic: Tesla offers a financing plan spread over several months. For example, if you decide to purchase the fully autonomous Model S Plaid with Autopilot, the subscription will be worth 1,542.08 euros per month in LOA. Knowing that electric charging saves you nearly 100 euros per month in gasoline, which is really not negligible.
To check your creditworthiness, be aware that Tesla will still ask you for a first rent increased more than 10,000 euros in this case.
