Watch Tesla’s record-breaking Laguna Seca lap
In 2016, Musk tweeted that Plaid would be reserved for the upcoming Roadster, so it seems that plans have modified. He defined at present in one other tweet that the triple motor Plaid setup is “a few 12 months away,” with plans to make it out there into the Mannequin S, X and Roadster, however not the cheaper/smaller Mannequin three or Y.
The one factor past Ludicrous is Plaid

Sure. To be clear, Plaid powertrain is a few 12 months away from manufacturing & applies to S,X & Roadster, however not three or Y. Will price greater than our present choices, however lower than opponents.

This is not fairly the Taycan-fighting Nürburgring run Musk had initially promised we might see this week, however he later talked about the corporate would wish to do extra evaluation and testing forward of the try.
Our buddies at Autoblog have picked up spy photographs of a modified Mannequin S P100D that’s, as Musk promised, driving across the German roadway proper now, so hopefully the battle between sporty EVs will get some comparable information quickly.
