Plaid S in the wild photos

Rear diffuser is a little different but I’m not seeing the “wide body” part? Here’s my Blue MS from close to the same angle. Looks the same to me.

still not seeing it. That’s just a regular Model S. Maybe the chrome is blacked out?

That's definitely a wider body than the stock Model S we know today. The only question is if it's real photos or photoshop but that's not a typical Model S based on the proportions of the fenders.
In the first photo, look specifically at the distance from the edge of the taillight to the outside edge of the wheel well/fender. Then, in the second photo, look at the front quarter panel around the wheel arch area. The side camera surround is entirely visible from this angle whereas the stock fender would be angled much less and you wouldn't be able to see the front half of it.
I really don't think this is a stock Model S. No idea if it's a true Plaid test mule or not but it certainly looks like one if someone hasn't been busy with Photoshop.

I dunno. I’ve been squinting at these pics and the ones I snapped of my own car, focusing on the areas you describe, and they look the same to me. Lighting is different, but measurements wise they look spot on.

I think this is much more likely. Chrome is definitely blacked out, missed the strip on the trunk at first glance (which I think visually contributes to the car looking wider).

That´s definitely "über phat".
Done so subtle, no customizing shop could do, plus beautiful rims (Arachnid 2.0) so I guess they´re coming

Yeah I think this is more likely to be the 2021 refresh rather than the Plaid Model S. We've seen the Plaid S at the Nürburgring, which had holes for airflow in the front fenders and a more aggressive diffuser. You could argue that was just a prototype, but I feel like we'd see more aggressive aerodynamics/cooling changes for Plaid.
OHH Shoot. You had me just about ready to check price of stock. I'm ready but in no hurry. Once the Plaid comes out, we may see some slight changes as we are seeing in the model 3 and now the Model Y that just came out.

Y’all are seeing stuff if you think that car is wider. It’s got big wheels. That’s it.
