Curious how the upcoming Tesla Model S Plaid will run compared to it. Certainly well above my budget, but it is nice to see EV's becoming more mainstream. I'll just play V8 music through the speakers to compensate...
I think performance will be a natural byproduct of these cars. And it helps people make the switch.Awesome. Glad more companies are building performance electric cars
Also he talks about how it limits power delivery dependant on the steering angle.
Its already happening, and Tesla has released an update that will disable access to things like superchargers if you have these mods, and it leaves a nag screen up on the display that you cant clear. But the 'new parts' still work.the potentially interesting thing about this is trying to modify these cars. With all the OTA stuff can't be hard for Tesla to tell you've tinkered, will "tuning" or other modifications potentially lead you to being denied use of a Tesla super charger station?

It’s pretty damn fast.
I can’t imagine feeling like I’m in a soulless vehicle trapping 144 in under 10 seconds, but I’m sure there’s plenty of hate out here
interesting, especially when many are doing a similar thing (although features, not performance, via forscan). I was going to buy a 4x4 F150 and instead of buying the FX4 package for $700 (or whatever it is) just buy the button for $15 and turn the feature on with forscan
Which feature?
Cool demo, but caveat emptor. Their video says "production sedan" but when I go to their site, I can't buy one. There isn't even an ETA for production availability; they have however pushed their production availability date back more than two years already.
I'd wait for the production version, and customer tests, before drawing too many conclusions.
my bad, hill descent control
Production availability of more than 2 years most definitely should send us a signal of "wait and see". That was a great marketing video, but let's wait for real world, proven performance. And the production pricing.Cool demo, but caveat emptor. Their video says "production sedan" but when I go to their site, I can't buy one.

Yes...EV performance is outstanding, the issue I have is they are designed to limit driver engagement.
On the other hand...while I love the sound and feeling of shifting my new PP1 5.0...I am absolutely sick that my Poindexter boss can smoke me in his regular Model 3 dual motor (not even the "performance")
ya, my buddy has a model 3 with the $2k performance update and it's a fast little ****er from a dig.
Apparently they are taking refundable deposits now and have released pricing info. Still not a production vehicle, agreed.Cool demo, but caveat emptor.
