Blog See New Photos of Model X Plaid Interior

Tesla’s upcoming “Plaid” version of its flagship Model S and Model X vehicles will come with interior improvements.

Photos posted to Twitter of an updated Model X interior offers a good look at the changes.

Twitter user @WholeMarsBlog spotted a Plaid Model X near the automaker’s Fremont, Calif. factory area.

Tesla has one of the most well-equipped interiors among all cars. An important piece of that is a large touchscreen in the middle of the dash and an infotainment system that allows owners to watch movies and play video games.

The updated interior will bring a similar experience to passengers in the back seat.

The photos posted show a second-row screen, about 8-inches. It’s thought that this touchscreen will allow passengers to choose their own content. Passengers in the backseat will also have access to cupholders and USB-C ports.

It was announced last week that Tesla’s infotainment system would receive a performance boost. Model S and Model X vehicles will be powered by AMD’s RDNA 2 graphics, the same found in the PlayStation 5.

The Plaid vehicles will be Tesla’s top-of-the-line, capable of traveling from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds. Tesla announced plans this week to cancel the Model S Plaid+, an even speedier version of the super-fast flagship for the electric vehicle company. Chief Executive Elon Musk said there’s “no need” because “Plaid is just so good.”

Does anyone know if the rear screen will be able to play video/stream while in motion? I had asked the people at Tesla and they didn’t seem to know?

Yes, it does. Currently the sound is still routed to all speakers. Hopefully we'll be able to use Bluetooth headsets/headphones in a future update so that the front audio can be different from the rear audio.

Regarding the ventilated seats, is it confirmed that all seats have a ventilation system or just perforated leather so it breaths?

Only front seats. The rear seats are perferated but not ventilated

It pretty much is an option. Plaid is the "super luxury" variant of what is now their luxury option. The "base" car for consumers in this market is effectively the Model Y now.

Obviously every individual has different things they want in a car, but they can't cater to every possible configuration. The nature of six figure top-end vehicles is that vendors tend to throw all the gizmos in, because buyers at this end of the spectrum generally aren't interested in nickle and diming individual features.

I have not seen anything in writing that indicates the LR version has a different interior other than the software displays to make plaid selections.
