I don’t know what else to say, except that I’m happy driving this car every day.

From what I could gather online, it appears that all the motors in the Tesla Model S Plaid are equipped with magnets. The Model S Plaid has three electric motors – one in the front for the front axle, and two in the rear (independent for rear wheels). All three motors are Permanent Magnet – Synchronous Reluctance Motor. This enables it to get 25% more power.

The acceleration is insane. I highly recommend the yoke steering wheel. Although I was initially hesitant about it, I can’t go back to the normal wheel now.
