Tesla Unveils The Model S Plaid Which Can Go 0-60 In Under 2 Seconds

After pushing it back several months, Tesla has started to deliver its long-awaited Model S Plaid, its fastest car yet. 
At the company's Fremont, factory on Thursday, CEO  and the company's lead designer, Franz von Holzhausen, introduced the near $130,000 car, which goes 0 to 60 in under 2 seconds. 
However, to achieve the top speed of 200mph, drivers need 'proper wheels and tires' for an undisclosed additional cost, which according to the website, will not be available until fall 2021.
The car is priced at $129,990, $10,000 more than initially estimated.   
'Faster than Porsche but safer than Volvo,' Musk said during the event livestream.
