Going to be some unhappy folks. IMHO - The range was the biggest draw to me anyway. Can't see the need for sub 2 sec 0-60 and sub 9s 1/4 mile on the streets. Hope they compensate Plaid + folks somehow.

Also, unpredictable supply chain and ramp up costs.they probably don’t want to compete with the roadster.... Making an electric car go fast isn’t that difficult. The 520 mile range might have been though.
Honestly if this is true, this is incredibly disappointing. I’ve waited for YEARS for a refresh S. Finally the Plaid+ was everything I wanted. Had the reservation since Battery Day. What the hell kind of company puts up a product for sale and then cancels it?
Please don't make me worry about them and further ruin my day - I'm really looking forward to watching the WWDC keynote this afternoon.Failed Apple Products Canceled Before Or After Their Release
Since its early days, there have been a few failed Apple products that the company canceled either before or soon after their release.www.valuewalk.com

The Tesla Roadster v2/v3 (code name Please Keep Funding Us) was supposed to have 621 miles of range, so that it would be a 1,000km car.If they didn’t want to compete with the Roadster (which also doesn’t exist, by the way), why even bother to announce the Plaid+ model?
Announcing a new model and then cancelling it 2 months later is highly suspect.
It sounds to me that the plaid is closer to plaid + specs now. Remains to be seen. Will know soon.If they didn’t want to compete with the Roadster (which also doesn’t exist, by the way), why even bother to announce the Plaid+ model?

Good thing for your sake you can get your $100 back. (Assuming you reserved one in the first place.)Sounds to me like bait and switch.
That was for the Roadster 2.0 and is still planned. Cold gas thrusters.I knew it was dead in the water as soon as Elon said he was putting thrusters from his rockets on the car.... Really people?
Never said this about Model S plaid/plaid + (said about possibilty with future roadster)I knew it was dead in the water as soon as Elon said he was putting thrusters from his rockets on the car.... Really people?
Until there is another product on the road that can beat that performance, the “good enough” will also be “the leader”.If Elon thinks that the Plaid is so good that there doesn't need to be a + model, I would suggest he reads a poem by Edgar Guest entitled "Good Enough". Maybe he can get his thought process back in line---Tesla is supposed to be a leader, not just good enough

(I assume you mean FSD)All fair points. But, I only care about speed and autopilot...
