Aside from supporting the development of aftermarket parts for the Plaid, supporting a local business and being super awesome, I am not sure what Planted is offering lol. Contact them to check. They are a very cool company to work with and do killer fabrication! Home page

Bump!

Awesome! Should be all the same from my knowledge.

Planted is looking for a plaid to do some seat bracket measurements so they can produce an aftermarket option. If anyone is willing to stop by their facility, please contact them asap so I can get a bucket seat in mine for next season :D PLANTED TECHNOLOGY Email: [email protected]...

I agree. While it is nice, the cost seems to be much higher or the same as getting the bumper resprayed in the future if needed. Unless you are in an area that has destroyed your front bumbers in the past with rock chips or you plan to track the car, might be unnecessary. I might consider it...

Got the call a few hours ago to either switch to the 6 seater from the 7 seater at no additional cost or take a hike. A bit annoying as I needed the seating space. I guess will have to compromise for the extra hp lol But I do think there will be a way to fit a bench second row down the road from...

Yeah, I have seen those $400 installs..... Usually the attention to detail is not so great lol

3.5h is just the approximate time to bolt the parts up. It doesn't take into account to adjust them, align and test drive. Its a lengthy process.

The original post literally states the alignment is for the Plaid lol There is camber and caster adjustment in the front. No camber adjustment rear. The sheet shows front camber and caster maxed out at low setting. The car will definitely need front adjustable upper arms to add camber for track...

With the Plaid having 1 motor in the front with an open diff, I imagine the brakes are used extensively by the stability control around corners and braking the inside wheel. The R35 Gtr has a similar solution in place to compensate for the front open diff. Now that I think about it, it did...

Most stability control systems use brake modulation in some form these days. But this may be a great theory as to why the Plaid brakes are so easily cooked if Tesla primary relies on the brakes vs cutting power to keep the car strait.

I am definitely going to try the car on an autocross and can see the challenge in using it there. The main issue for autocross is the weight and size of the car, not the steering wheel though. It will definitely be just be for fun and not competition. But on a road course and daily driving I...

I love the yoke! It's great for daily driving and took no time getting used to it. It honestly makes you a better driver too since you are at 9 and 3 at all times. People usually never have their hands properly positioned on a steering wheel to react to traffic situations. Auto shift has worked...

Honestly glad to hear it!

Sad to see and from experience taking the car to the track in factory form, either Tesla needs to get a proper brake system on the car or tell people explicitly not to track the car before a brake upgrade(instead of posting fastest time at the ring in factory form). Really surprised the car made...

Again, the ring record run was done with a car fresh off the factory floor by Tesla. If that is not advertising, not sure what is. That track is very hard on every car component including the brakes. Don't like my data about the brakes lasting three 10min sessions for the OP to justify his...

Excited to see that there are BBK options already!

I am sorry, but you are incorrect with your assessment. This was simply a (controlled) shakedown of a stock car at the track to see what it lacks to enjoy it for what it was advertised to do. Not sure if the moms saw this official video or the countless quarter mile claims from Tesla that...

If anyone is interested what my Plaid came with from factory for alignment specs and the maximum front camber/caster that you can archive, see below.

I hate to say it, but Firestone from my knowledge is a toe and go shop. Half the time, the techs don't even know how to adjust camber caster correctly. Not the best place to get a Model S diagnosed or inspected. I would take it to a reputable shop to get inspected to make sure the suspension is...

Stoptech does make great kits! Will definitely need to explore that option.

I toasted my brakes at Gingerman Raceway last weekend just after a few 10min sessions. I did basic prep like fluid and removing dust shields (there was air in the system from factory). I didn’t expect much from factory brakes, but the pads and rotors have the same quality as autozone budget...
