YouTuber@DDCAR said that the Model X Plaid equipped with the new AMD chip is very smooth, can open YouTube, Netflix and other applications very smoothly, and rarely feel the stuttering of the application interface, and the application interface is also very good, which is much better than the use experience of some Model 3 and Model Y existing Intel Atom chip machines.
Model X Plaid is different from the Model X, the performance is more violent, 0-60 miles (96 km) acceleration time of 2.5 seconds, the use of three motors, the interior is also used in a new interior, using three screens (including the screen behind the armrest box), the price is much more expensive than the Model X.
It is worth mentioning that the Model X Plaid model exhibited in Taiwan Province this time is a 7-seat version, which shows that Tesla does intend to produce a 7-seater model. Just on January 7, the price of Tesla's Model X Plaid on tesla's official website was raised, rising by $6,500 (about 41,600 yuan) to $126,490 (about 807,000 yuan) now, due to the default model changed to 6 seats.
At present, the Model X Plaid on the us official website cancels the 5-seat version and only provides a 6-seat version. Just when the outside world has speculated that Tesla wants to simplify the production line and improve production efficiency, Tesla has shown a 7-seat version, which is indeed a bit unexpected. This shows that Tesla's production line still has a certain surplus, which can take into account the production of a more niche 7-seat version.
Consumers buy the Model X Plaid, one is for its violent performance, and the other is for its large space, which can accommodate more passengers to travel together. If you just want to buy 5 seats, you can also buy a Model 3 Plaid. Therefore, Tesla may give priority to the production of 6 or 7-seat versions, and if there is production capacity, it will also produce 5-seat versions.
