Delayed until the 7th of June, until it gets delayed again? Plaid Plus is coming out "middle of next year" Tesla is making a habit of missing release dates. Where is the Cybertruck? Semi?

I do love the classy, understated styling.

I still can't understand why the Model S looks so much better than the Model 3 But it does and that Plaid name is so damn ridiculous but I love it. This thing is going hunting for hyper cars with 1050 hp.

I have no need for the Plaid Plus, I would take the regular Plaid. Still not sure if I’m going electric just yet and $120k is a lot of money considering their leases suck and I would have to buy it.

The Plaid Plus comes with the new 4680 battery pack which has improved thermal performance (track performance) and higher density / more kWh (520 miles of range). Increased thermal performance also equates to faster charging. I think there will be used Plaids on the market when the new Plus comes out. Tesla Model S owners tend to switch cars often when a significant Model S version comes out.

It would be tempting to pick up a used one for around $80-90k and fool around in a 9s car. Haha.

it's longer and with many other cars (due to human physiology) being inflexible, it just becomes a more graceful sleek design.

the S also has an air suspension which probably helps the stance, and it doesn't hurt that this one has awesome wheels either.

i know you're reciting the claimed 'facts', but i take pronouncements about anything not promised for delivery for another year with a grain of salt.

isn't the plaid plus $200k?

I think it's $140-150k. The new Plaid is $120k. I'm just stating why the plus is supposedly better. No one knows until the car is released. I hope they come out with a Model 3 Plaid
