The Plaid is a crazy car. The stock brakes are not up to the task of slowing the car after a few hard applications. The track mode brakes are, but will feel inappropriate in normal use because they need to heat up to work properly.
But what a car!
But what a car!
that is an awesome package. with the power on tap i think some of that should have come with all plaid cars.
edit: just saw price is $15k.
a bit steep, but that' some serious hardware/software and good to have oem stuff.

+100000 may be expensive but if u price things out separately in the aftermarket, it's even more.....and this is installed as well!
- carbon ceramic rotors - $8k
- forged brakes - $6k
- wheels + tires - $5k
This is all backed by Tesla as well....

But semi-slicks definitely do.
Apparently car does detect brake package and gets setup differently, and one of the videos said it also detects semi-slicks.
For a such a heavy car, seems to be doing really well on track now.

Surprisingly, even for such a heavy car, it is very responsive to dropping any weight, especially reciprocating like wheels/rotors. When I did mine, I dropped my 60-130 times by .2 seconds.
The 200mph is unlocked via a FW update to note you have the updated brake package.
Keep in mind the Goodyear 3Rs are still 200TW tires and not really semi-slicks (100tw).

i doubt forged 20" make any difference is this car.
