Tesla Model S Plaid — Nice

Three motors, over 1,000 horsepower, and a sprint to 100 km/h that finishes before most drivers process what happened. The 2025 Tesla Model S Plaid is not a quiet commuter sedan that happens to be electric — it is one of the fastest-accelerating production cars available anywhere, and it happens to produce zero emissions while doing it. What makes the Model S Plaid particularly interesting on the Riviera is how effortlessly it handles contrasts. Leave your hotel on the Promenade des Anglais in near silence, merge onto the A8 toward Monaco, and feel the instant torque compress you into the seat with zero lag, zero turbo spool, zero drama. The car simply goes. On the Moyenne Corniche climbing through Èze, regenerative braking works in your favour through tight descents, and the low centre of gravity — the battery floor sits beneath you — keeps body roll almost nonexistent through fast direction changes. Inside, the 17-inch central screen and minimalist cabin feel closer to a private cockpit than a traditional luxury sedan. Five seats, a proper boot, and genuine long-range capability mean this is equally suited to a full day covering Nice to Cannes and back as it is to a focused morning loop around Cap-Ferrat. Supercharger stations along the coast keep range anxiety off the table. One variant is available for hire, from €390 per day. Delivery can be arranged to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport terminals, specific hotel addresses along the promenade, or private residences. For clients who want the visceral acceleration of a supercar wrapped in something that draws attention for its restraint rather than its exhaust note, the Model S Plaid occupies a category of its own.
