Model S Plaid: Bonkers fast.
Tesla
Oh, hello. Welcome to another edition of Roadshow’s week in review where we roundup the most important reviews, stories and videos from this past week. We’re glad to have you, as always.
This week was a big one for everyone’s favorite newcomer automaker, Tesla, which held its Battery Day. But, we also got our first look at the Volkswagen ID 4 — the German brand’s first electric car for America. Of course, we also drove plenty of great cars, too. You can find all the good stuff by just scrolling below.
Join us as we go over the best Roadshow from Sept. 20-26.
