Anyone gone the full sleeper route with their Plaid?

[DayTrippin]

I grew up in a time where I loved having fast cars that never looked fast; aka a sleeper. Has anyone gone all in on doing this with their Plaid? I am toying with the idea of putting on a 75D badge (or a subtle hint and put a P75D badge), going with some older styled wheels, or just full aero 19's, and maybe remove the rear spoiler. Anyone gone this route or maybe something even better?

Might make the impromptu encounter with another quick a bit more likely and fun. I notice a lot of the fast cars in my area all slow down when rolling past my bumper. I assume it is to see if I have any sort of a Plaid emblem. A lot of the fast bikes do as well. If you are into cars, you'd have to be living under a rock for the last several years to no know how quick the Plaid is so definitely have lost the element of surprise. I was thinking a bit of misdirection could be fun. Along with the car seats in the back, it might just help pull it off.

Just go badgeless and keep them guessing. I've considered doing this as it's a PITA cleaning between the name badges.

All MS are "fast" so there's no hiding it or being a "sleeper". Everyone who knows will always approach any Tesla cautiously.

Even an old 85 is pretty quick relatively speaking. MS is a terrible sleeper either way.

I get what you are saying, but with the right environment, which I think I have, it could be fun. Just for fun, I found this info. I have a lot of fast cars in my neighborhood, McLarens, Lambos, Ferraris the occasional Porsche, etc. Some S's are pretty slow and would easily be beaten by a M3P. The M3P will basically spank any S that isn't a P, and run very close to many P models.

I swear 2021+ Model S LR runs 10.8sec 1/4 mile.

 

[DayTrippin]

Yep, mine did. The chart didn't have it when it was published. They only had the last gen with the LR+. Look what a quantum leap the LR took, not just the Plaid. I ran a few last gen MSP (not Plaids) with my LR. Everyone would pull me to 60 but I stopped them gapping me at about 40 mph and then started to run them down.

I did have some fun with a Lambo today. I have debadged my car as a start while deciding on what model to roll with.
