The numbers in the latest spec showdown are difficult to overlook. The Tesla Model S Plaid rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.99 seconds, while the newly introduced Ferrari Luce takes 2.4 seconds to hit the same mark. That difference stands out despite the Luce appearing stronger on paper, offering 1,050 horsepower compared to the Plaid’s 1,020, four electric motors instead of three, a larger 122 kWh battery pack, and quicker 350 kW charging speeds.
Tesla, however, counters with the metrics that matter most in everyday performance. The Model S Plaid delivers an EPA-estimated 348 miles of range, compared to about 280 miles for the Ferrari, along with a slipperier 0.208 drag coefficient, a lighter 4,839-pound curb weight, and Full Self-Driving technology that the Luce does not offer. The most dramatic contrast may be the pricingp: the Plaid starts around $95,000, while the Luce enters the market near $640,000, making the Tesla nearly seven times less expensive.
The comparison highlights just how far Tesla has advanced EV performance, combining supercar-level acceleration, efficiency, and autonomous tech at a price point traditional manufacturers like Ferrari — even with their first electric model — still cannot approach.
