    we should change the tread title to Plaid+.

    not sure I love this naming convention.

    If you take the roadster, add two doors to the lovely shape, do you not have a Plaid +?

    As a car guy, the stuff that other people do not know or care about interests me. What platform is going to be used for this? Even the one piece stamping for the Model Y is still part of a platform related to the Model 3 (shared parts leads to lower costs)? A one off platform for such a low volume car will be costly, if it breaks even that will be a plus.

    In California, you can actually get a plate with a + sign, so you could get TESLA P+.

    Bob does.

    I've said that in my mind every time this thread had activity for the past 4+ months, but kept it to myself. But couldn't restrain myself any longer.

    So now that the question has been 100% thoroughly completely answered, can we make it stop popping up? :p

    If it is like many other threads around here, the likelihood is low.

    BTW, I once got my Lotus Esprit V8 up to 170 MPH on a public highway, briefly. It was quite terrifying, and I decided to never ever do anything like that again.

    With years and experience I find that I care less about raw speed and more about handling. One of my biggest qualms about the new Roadster is whether it will handle like the old one, which I find fantastically fun to drive. Or are we going to get the world's quickest production car paired with torque steer, numb steering feel and unsettled traction control?
