I agree with this assessment 100%. That was basically how it felt on Friday. Very comparable to Taycan if not better. Brakes are the biggest hold back. Not sure about the quality of rotors but the Pads must be replaced and use Performance brake fluid. I would definitely upgrade the rotors and...

I went to the Monticello Motorsport Park yesterday and drove the Plaid for a whole session (25 mins) on the south course. The first lap was warmup. The second lap I did 70% effort. The brakes lasted 1.5 laps after warmup before I got the hot brakes warning signal. The car is very heavy and you...

Thanks for the advise!! Very helpful. I am going to the track on Friday. i will post an update after I get back with results and impression.

I thought this would be useful https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-corsa-plaid-laguna-seca-update-8-1-21.235727/ as well as this one https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/plaid-brake-issues.242571/ Until Tesla comes up with the track package brake fade is a major issue and it...

I definitely need to use regen more. I am surprised how they were able to drive around the Nurburgring in a stock car. They must have done something dramatic for the brakes

I agree 100%. I am just curious to see how the Tesla will do without pushing it too hard. I have driven my GT3 RS on this track many times. I also drove the Taycan. Curious how the Plaid will perform. Also wanting to make sure that the breaks won't stop working half way through a lap. I am...

I got delivery of my Tesla Plaid two weeks ago. I am thinking of taking it to the track this Friday at Monticello for few laps. Has anyone tried tracking the new Plaid version. I understand track mode is not enabled yet. Any thoughts?

I am buying them separately. I am putting custom 20” wheels. 19” are too small and look bad. While 21” look better, I had to replace my tires so many times due to blisters on the P100D from potholes. So 20” is the compromise. Getting my wheels from @signature_tesla (Instagram)

Yeah, you are right. 4s are better than Pzero for handling cold climate. I just read the manufacturer’s recommendation for both tires. I guess I am definitely switching to 4s

Forgot to mention that the plaid has torque vectoring on each individual tire that losing traction will be almost impossible regardless of what tires you have in any condition

I drove the P100D to Montreal from NYC and back on the super sport summer tires in February 2018. Temperature never went above 10F for four days. The car never slid once even though there was snow. The tires lasted well beyond that trip. On another trip it was raining so hard for 4 hours in the...

I had 21” Michelin super sport on my P100D here in New York. These are performance summer tires. I had the car for 3.5 years before lease ran out. I never had any problem with traction on rain, snow, dry, etc… they were always grippy and up to the task. I am getting the Michelin 4s on my 19”...

I finally have an EDD after being blank for a month. Sept 06-29. I have red/white/19/FSD RN1151 former Plaid+. It seems they started working on white interiors as the SA mentioned to me last week that the white interior is delayed.

I spoke to my sales advisor yesterday. He said that the 19” wheels and white interior will take few weeks as they have delays now. Mainly white interior is delayed as they started rolling out 19”. If these issues prolong maybe I will get my cyber truck first :). On a positive note it’s weeks...

The 21” are not worth it. My former MS P100D (lease just ended) had 21” wheels. I replaced my tires 9 times due to pot holes in 3 years of ownership. That’s $5000 almost worth of tires plus all the wheel alignments I had to do every time I hit a big pot hole. In addition, the 21” are more likely...
