What is the maximum RPM of a Tesla motor?
I’ve been researching Teslas compared to gas-powered vehicles, as I would like to reduce my vehicle expenses. I know Teslas are powerful, but what’s the max RPM their motors can go?

Going
electric
or hybrid is a great way to reduce your environmental impact and vehicle spending. And you’re right—Tesla
does produce some powerful cars. The maximum RPM of a Tesla motor depends on the vehicle, but the new carbon-sleeved motor is capable of 23,308 RPM @ 200 mph compared to the previous P100D redline of 18,000 RPM @ 155 mph. Experts say that the dual-motor powertrain Model S is the fastest sedan available to the public, with total motor power exceeding 700 hp and hitting a max rpm of 18,000—those are specs that you’d previously find on an F1 car.
These ultra-powerful engines can propel the
Tesla Model S Plaid
from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.1 seconds—almost fast enough to rearrange your face.But just because the Tesla can go fast doesn’t mean it should—stepping on the pedal to see how fast it can take you is grounds for a speeding ticket and a whopping increase in your insurance rates. Luckily,
Jerry
can find you the best rates on car insurance no matter what you drive. Jerry is the top-rated car insurance app that compares quotes from over 50 top insurers to find you the lowest rate without sacrificing coverage. The average user saves over $800 a year on car insurance!
