    Model S Plaid MSM Journal

    Hey guys, I figured I would start a thread to document my journey with this insane speed demon. I’ve had the car for 2 days now. So I was set on the LR version, but after some discussion and thinking I decided to go for the Plaid. It’s a lot of money for a mere 1 second, but frankly I just...

    Model S Plaid Issues

    So, out of the blue, my Plaid made a very odd noise yesterday that sounded like it was coming from the climate system and then completely died. It was charged and parked. I was unable to unlock it from the key or app and the two truck 12v charge brought it back briefly and it died again...

    Tips on drag racing your Model S Plaid...on the track.

    For those who have not yet experienced what it’s like to be on a drag strip with your MS Plaid, this post is for you. Most big US drag strips operate under rules of the National Hot Rod Association, which is fine unless you drive a really quick, unmodified (stock) electric car. The Plaid can...

    Vendor Products for your new/upcoming Model S, by TWRAPS

    Hey guys A few months ago I got a delivery of my new Model S. I wanted to customize it but since it's so new there was nothing on the market, so I've decided to do it myself.

    Refreshed model S Plaid dashboard noise

    Had the car for a little over 2 months now, 2700 miles in. Been hearing this ticking/creaking noise coming from the driver side dashboard. My local SC took the whole front apart (dashboard, windshield) and can’t seem to locate the source. Now they tell me they have to outsource it to an outside...

    Plaid is slow on highspeed.

    Tesla Model S Plaid is often referred to as the fastest pruduction vehicle in the world. But I doubt it Is there anybody who can do the accelaration test to 250-300km/h ? I can't seem to find the data of 0-300km/h time of Plaid. I think it's because the acceleration from 250 to 300km is slow...

    Need help with music - think I may have a bug?

    Hi everyone. I need your help. I had a Tesla Model S from March 2018, which I returned in March 2021. I ordered a Plaid then, and just got it. I accepted delivery right away because I figured that it can't be that much different than my old car so I'll figure out all the interface stuff. But...

    Model S Plaid -- Battery Failure -- Day 1

    Picked up my Red Plaid today with 19inch wheels (told first 19" delivery at my Service Center) with 4 miles on it! Delivery experience has gradually gone down hill (my 4th Tesla) and this experience was by far the worst. You purchase a $130K car and expect to see someone other than the 18...

    Tesla Plaid toying with other high performance cars on the dragstrip whilst trying not to get kicked off

    Here's the main video: I think there ***may*** come a time when watching the Plaid win all these races becomes monotonous and predictable, but today is not that day. The whole video is worth a watch, but for the impatient below, I linked just the races. For those not in the know, the ET...

    Model 3 trade to Refreshed Model S poll….

    I have a June 2019 model 3 Dual motor with FSD and acceleration boost. I really love the car. Was thinking about trading it for a MS Plaid. Tesla offered $51,800 for the 3. That plus another $100,000 would get the Plaid. I like the nimbleness and tossability of the 3 and am afraid the Plaid will...

    Plaid CAN bus adapter

    Can any Plaid owners confirm if the connector to the CAN bus is the same as previous Model S? It was previously behind the panel under the screen (shown here). I would love to see some of the battery telemetry data via OBD adapter if any of the early owners are data nerds like me and inclined...

    Plaid+ to Plaid conversion

    I got a call from two weeks ago asking me to convert to a Plaid from Plaid+, this was before the Plaid+ was "canceled". I told them that no, I didn't want to cancel and go for the Plaid because the real-world range with performance wheels and tires is much lower than the rated range. I also...

    I recently used Plaid to pay the final balance on my 21 M3 LR. I was not going to give Plaid my banking credentials (user name and password) but found a work-around that uses the usual ACH info. You can close the "select your bank" dialog box, using the X in the upper right corner. You'll be...

    Refresh Model S spotted in San Diego...

    Seen a 2021 Refresh Model S in San Diego. White on White... and I can confirm it had the Yolk steering wheel. Didn't have a rear badge so I’m assuming it was the long range. Looking forward to an update on my order.

    Tesla Podium at Global Time Attack *Video*

    Happy to report my 2nd place podium at Global Time Attack at Buttonwillow. I competed in Enthusiast class which limited my setup but was still a great challenge. My tires were one of the biggest limiting factors. I was restricted to 255 with a minimum 220 tread wear. I also needed to include all...

    Hey guys and girls I was contemplating what kind of shirt I could design that would be a great reference to Spaceballs and Tesla in combination. You don't reference your fastest speed from a movie and don't put the two together, yet I see nobody doing it. So while we wait for the Roadster to go...

    Watch Tesla Model S Plaid Record Lap At Laguna Seca

    A year ago, the Tesla Model S Plaid beat the record for 4-door sedans. Now, it’s much quicker. We knew it wouldn’t be long after Lucid started marketing its upcoming Air electric car that Tesla would have to go back to bat to beat it. The Air has specs that are way beyond the current Model S...

    Plaid Model 3, anyone?

    I just tweeted this at Elon for the heck of it - Common Elon - Give us a plaid-3 ! - Center seat, bats. on both sides, 2 buckets in back, more bats. in center, motors of your choice. The rest can stay as is... Who needs a Roadster when a Plaid 3 could do the trick on the cheap (relatively) ?

    Roadster - FSD or not

    I am here to ask for an opinion if Tesla's Roadster will or will not offer FSD. I believe that the Roadster will be Tesla's only vehicle that will not offer FSD. Offering FSD on the roadster would effectively make the specs no longer viable. Full Self Driving requires the vehicle to obey the...
