According to expert Sandy Munro, the Tesla Model S Plaid could travel up to 300 miles (482 kilometres) on the Next Energy cycle with a single charge.

Because of this high level of efficiency, a Tesla Model S Plaid can travel further on a single charge than other Teslas and electric vehicles on the market today.
