I know that there is a "strange" limitation of the highest speed able to be reached by the Model S Plaid.
Tesla claims all over that the speed of 320 km/h is the top one, but we know that, until now, the Plaid does not run over 300 km/h.
E. Musk said "one time" that, in fact, to reach the 320 km/h top speed, it will not be possible to do that without to purchase a package of special wheels, special brakes and... special tires ! One more time you have tasted a Tesla "too good to be true" surprise.
So, regarding this particularity, I ask for the Plaids owner to inform us regarding the speed index on the 21'' Michelin 4S tires:
Normally they would have a (Y) speed index for cars able to run at MORE than 300 km/h
If they have a simple Y speed index, it's the one for cars able to run NO MORE than 300 km/h
If all the Plaids are fitted with the Y speed index tires you should not hope that Tesla will release the speed restriction of your car !
THANK YOU in advance to indicate here the speed index you can read on your Plaid's tires, following the dimensions inscriptions.
P.S. I'm living in Europe and it's absolutely forbidden here to fit tires which have no coordinated speed index with the car's ability, even if you will not plan to drive up to the max. speed !
