Tesla Model S Plaid launch party set for June 3
CEO Elon Musk tweeted saying the delivery event will happen in just a few weeks and believes the EV is the "fastest production car ever."
Tesla's ready to throw a bash for the Model S Plaid. CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet Thursday the automaker will have a delivery launch party for the new Plaid variant on June 3. He also said the EV is the "fastest production car ever" with a 0-60 mph time of less than two seconds.

Fastest production car ever
0 to 60mph in under 2 secs
That's not how the record books measure "fastest production car," but the Model S Plaid could be the quickest car to 60 mph if independently verified. Regardless, the Model S Plaid will be a quick machine, with an advertised 200 mph top speed, while still returning a Tesla-estimated 390 miles of range.
The company's website says the Model S Plaid won't be ready for deliveries until August at the earliest, but perhaps Tesla will be able to get a handful of the cars to owners to throw the launch party. If you want the seriously bonkers Model S Plaid Plus, the site says it's not coming until mid-2022 at this point.
Maybe Musk will divulge other details during the event. We'll bring you the latest as we hear it.
