Tesla doesn't specify Plaids in their public sales records and were known grouping S, X, and Cybertruck together in earning calls starting in 2024. From what I can find from google searches, starting the first year of Plaid, 2021, delivery numbers were as follows:

2021: S & X (all trims) = 24,964

2022: S & X (all trims) = 66,705

2023: S & X (all trims)= 68,874

2024: S, X, & Cybertruck (all trims)= 85,133

2025: S, X, & Cybertruck (all trims)= 50,850

2026 Q1: S, X, & Cybertruck (all trims)= 16,130

This gives a total of S, X, & Cybertruck to be 312,656.

Google states approximate Cybertruck sales at 62,000 to 65,000.

Subtracting Cybertruck, that leaves about 250,000 S & X (all trims) (2021-2026)

To try to figure out the split of Plaids vs non-Plaids, cars.com shows 527 model S for sale with with 228 being Plaids while model X does not show trims as a filter. Assuming that S & X are the same ratios and that the ratios are close to production numbers, 43.2% of S & X starting in 2021 are Plaids.

This gives a total of around 108,000 Plaids ever produced!

Let me know if you think my math is off anywhere or if there are better numbers to use.

edit: from ctzn4: CarGurus from 2022, since there were some early model year pre-refresh Model S/X from 2021. For Model S, 370 total listings nationwide, 113 of which are Plaids. For Model X, the ratio is 292 of 855. That gives a ratio of 30.54% and 34.15% for the S and X respectively.

This range translates to roughly 76,000 to 85,000 Plaids produced. It's likely that Plaids have higher turnover on the used market too so the range maybe lower than that.
