Well what do you expect when the last car driven (for the past 2 1/2 decades) was a 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT (non-modified apparently, fully stock except for a couple “twin turbo” stickers, 4” diameter bolt-on exhaust tips, repainted front bumper by Maaco, and window tint)?
I'll call some good ish on this. Why assume only old white men want to buy a Model S? Then be gimmicked with a "acceleration upgrade". The Model S isn't just a old white men car. Honestly around me I've never seen a white man driving one. Mostly women.
I dunno, they have done that since the days of the P85D (measure the performance model with the 1 ft rollout). It's kind of the industry norm for performance oriented cars, so I don't see anything nefarious here.
Um....
Tesla Owner Demographics: Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Income, Children
People find a way to justify their decisions.As I’ve always said, HUGE diff between MS LR and PLAID. Hence, the huge diff in cost…not so much about diff in looks or features but a 3rd electric motor and an add’l 300+ HP/TQ (plus torque vectoring etc) on top of what the LR has…it’s significant!
Sure, of course. But, what I can tell you is that the apparent performance of the new refresh MS Plaid is unmatched and cannot be found anywhere else directly from an auto manufacturer’s factory, especially for the $120k price range, let alone $500k+ range. EV technology and performance is just getting better and better!!! Good times coming.

Who says anyone here with a Plaid order is actually taking delivery in June in time to make it to that event?
Hahaha. Not a Plaid; it’s a LR and “sexy as F-K!” Hahaha!
Panel gaps are looking clean. Here's to hoping they improved their processes.
Based on data pulled from 2,650 Tesla owners. Carefully curated to ensure the proper outcome of some biased study
Gut feelings are always superior to data. And I believe that number was cited for a specific Model X statistic.
I don’t think anything nefarious is going on, but I strongly believe that same model cars should use equivalent units of measurement. Furthermore, the same specifications should also be provided for both cars. Why provide certain specs for the Plaid and then omit them from the LR? I just think it looks like Tesla is deliberately withholding information and it’s not a good look.
Blue and cream with Tempest wheels. Come to daddy!
It’s the same game Porsche plays with the 911 and Cayman. They could make the Cayman perform better, but then they cannibalize 911 sales. If Tesla engineered the base LR too close to the Plaid it would eat into those sales. So 1.99 with rollout for Plaid and 3.1 (without) for LR. Makes it sound soooo much slower when it’s still faster than 99% of what’s on the road.
Material is cheap. Labor is expensive. The markup to get to $1300 is beyond reasonable. They saw “Telsa” and decided you had money they wanted. Get another quote.
Like I stated. Not in my case. The cost of materials drove the price.
