It would be great to have track mode available on every performance model of S3XY.
What’s the latest timeline on when plaid & interior refresh arrive ?

I gave up on posting what I heard from my sources because of a number of times Tesla changed course, reprioritized, or put things on hold from week to week or month to month. If I hear something rock solid like with the raven drivetrain I’ll post, otherwise most things I hear come with an expiration date and I don’t want to mislead anyone
As the creator of this thread, on Jul 30, 2017, I guess the answer to my question was NO.
I´m still waiting for that new interior
I´m still waiting for that new interior
I can't wait to see a refresh, but I'm going to be sad when it loses the second display. I know, I know, it's an old argument on these forums, and I love a slick futuristic design just as much as the next guy, also I'm almost certain to still buy it regardless, but do you know what I love the most?+1 For me too!!!!
Information. There's only so much you can put on one screen and reliably ingest while hurtling down the road at highway speeds. That's why the Model 3/Y layout has merely an unlabelled line under the speedometer to show instant power use/regen, instead of a graph with values. I just hope it has a lot of new features to make me forget the old ones I'll miss.
Thats why they are called rumors, but that is why this site exists in the first place. We love rumors and speculations right or wrong.
Tesla Model S Plaid Expected To Be Hugely Profitable For Automaker
Hmmm, reading the comment section, some seem set on the Plaid being a new platform and not a present Model S variant.

Will COVID-19 delay the release of PLAID? Is there a place to place pre-orders for PLAID? Would take a lot off my anxiety to be able to just order the damn thing.

Pre orders wouldn't be possible until announcement, and since this would be an update to an existing model, it will probably be available upon announcement.
If anything, I could see this shutdown providing an opportunity to make any adjustments to the line necessary for Plaid drivetrain, updated charging, battery architecture (ie. temp management), and updated interior happen more quickly.
I also believe Elon suggested Plaid would ready by fall, but I think that like the Y, it will come sooner. I imagine a performance model would be more appealing to potential buyers in a lead up to summer months, rather than closer to Winter

Totally agree on that. Given out the Y actually the S ans X has only little glamour actuall compared to the features you get with a basic MY, so Tesla has to line up something really poisoning to keep buyers attracted, simply adjustable suspension and and a heated steering wheel won’t make it
with being a required shutdown and Telsla not being defined as an essential business, I doubt that anything is being done for production line processes......software on the other hand could be done from home and modeled on computers......so I doubt changes are being made

It does seem like M3 is getting all the good stuff:
Tesla nears debut of new 400-mile China-made Model 3
Tesla nears debut of new 400-mile China-made Model 3
Remember that China still uses the NEDC range estimation standard. So the EPA range would be way lower than 400 miles.

basically we are probably looking at new model S/X unit or something really-really close to it. All that's left is to populate that usb3 header perhaps and plug some cool device into it?

What one thing is he talking about? And what on the board is incompatible to the S/X?

Sounds like the driver side display is gone in updated Model S and X. Would be interesting to know what else is changing.

If true, Glad I got my Raven, basically why I pulled the trigger.
