2022 Model S Plaid Safety

The NHTSA doesn't have a full review of the 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid yet, but the 2021 Model S scored five stars in the rollover test. It's improbable that the revised model will achieve anything less than five stars across the board, as every other Tesla in history managed this impressive feat. The 2021 Tesla Model S has not been evaluated for crashworthiness by the IIHS, although the agency did rate the sedan's headlights as Poor and its standard front crash prevention as Superior.

2022 Model S Plaid Key Safety Features

As standard, the 2022 Model S Plaid electric car comes with bigger brakes, traction and stability control, LED daytime running lights, cornering lights, eight airbags, and a reverse camera. The standard suite of driver assistance suite consists of active forward collision avoidance with automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keep assist. Autopilot, which allows the car to drive itself on the highway, is also included as standard. We reckon all Model S owners will go for the Full Self-Driving Package, with a cost of $12,000. We'll delve deeper into it in the Additional Packages section, but for now, it's worth pointing out that there's a lot of misinformation about this system. Tesla clearly states that the Model S is not fully autonomous, yet certain rabid Tesla fans refuse to believe this. There are currently 30 Tesla crashes under investigation at the NHTSA, all of them involving the controversial self-driving feature. Some owners have gone as far as getting in the back seat and watching movies. We're not 100% convinced this is Tesla's problem, but rather a case of Darwin at work. Still, why call a feature "Full-Self Driving" when it isn't? Some of the features that come with this upgrade include Navigate on Autopilot, auto lane change, summon, and traffic light/stop sign control.

2022 Model S Plaid Reliability

As a range, the Model S has not been free of issues. The 2022 Model S was recalled five times in the USA for issues including a failure to stop at stop signs due to a faulty Full Self-Driving system, a seat belt chime that may not activate, an improperly defrosting windshield, an obscured pedestrian warning sound, and a side curtain airbag that may not deploy properly. It isn't clear if all of these issues also pertain to the Model S Plaid electric sedan specifically, but as a whole, the Model S sedan hasn't been faultless. The 2021 Model S faced eight recalls and there were four for the 2020 model. Thankfully, the Model S comes with a decent warranty. The basic warranty is four years/50,000 miles, while the battery and drive unit are covered by an eight-year/150,000-mile warranty.
