Tesla's Model S Plaid has entered police service, thanks to Unplugged Performance’s UP.FIT upgrades unveiled at SEMA. Known as the world’s fastest production EV, the Model S Plaid can now be customized for law enforcement, following in the footsteps of Tesla's Model Y and Model 3 police builds.
Tesla’s Record-Breaking Model S Plaid Debuts as High-Speed Police Cruiser at SEMA
Although Tesla's Model S Plaid was only recently built out for this use case, the company's electric vehicles (EVs) have been used as police cruisers for the past few years, per Teslarati.
On November 5, the first day of SEMA, Unplugged Performance, a manufacturer of Tesla mod kits, showed their most recent police cruiser buildout for the Model S Plaid, regarded as the fastest-accelerating production car in the world. This is the first time we've seen a Model S Plaid equipped with Unplugged Performance, despite the company's UP.FIT branch has already used various police vehicle modifications for Tesla's Model Y, Model 3, and Cybertruck.
Tesla claims that the Model S Plaid can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 1.99 seconds, reach a maximum speed of 200 miles per hour, and have a range of 359 miles. In the 0 to 60 and quarter-mile acceleration runs, numerous drivers have also broken world records with the Model S Plaid. One driver in July achieved an amazing quarter-mile time of 8.56 seconds.
Unplugged Performance Expands Police Fleet Upgrades with Custom Tesla Model S Plaid and Cybertruck
Over the past few years, Unplugged Performance has equipped several Model Y and Model 3 units for use by American law enforcement agencies; however, this is the first time the firm has created a customized police cruiser kit for the Model S Plaid. The business also introduced its copped-out Cybertruck design earlier this year, and it has already sent the Cybertruck to many police departments across the United States.
Besides providing customizations for law enforcement and other government fleet cars, Unplugged Performance has gained recognition for its racing division. The manufacturer's work on racer Randy Pobst's Model S Plaid, known as the "Dark Helmet," worn in the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb for several years, is especially well-known.
