Just got this 2021 Plaid in MSM with black on carbon interior--- Its my first all EV and the only other hybrid I had was a 2018 Acura NSX. I have had 12 AMG's, 11 M's, 9 Porsche's, 3 R8's, Ferraris, Lambo, blah blah blah but you get the drift. I had to see what the speed was all about and my lord there is a hell a lot of it. All I can say is I'm having fun learning the car, dynamics, tech, handling, chassis, and of course that Yoke thing
Its easily the faster car Ive ever owned and I have modded quite a few of my Porsche Turbo S's but I rarely go past the BPU's (basic performance upgrades aka exhaust and tune). I will say this will all honesty was that I never got a prior Tesla because I love engine noise, rpm's thru the ranges, and just the glory of a high performance wail. But the level of performance is so extensive here for the money spent; I had to try it out. I got lucky and just went the Tesla website, started a chat with a representative and he found me a car outside of the 200 mile range on the ground- 1 week later it arrived and Ive been smiling and flying since.
I did add some minor mods to maybe differentiate from the other S's out there visually:
35% Ceramic Tint
Ceramic Coating
Lowering Links via RSX-1 PLAID Ride Height Adjustment Lowering Link Set Tesla S/X
I still would like to get some spacers but am having a hard time finding ones for these new Plaid wheels. My local shop, SupremePower in Fullerton, did all the work and lowered it but the spacers they got from H&R (20mm adapters) did not work right with the OEM studs still hitting wheels. If anyone knows what will work on the Plaid, I would greatly appreciate it.
