Should Tesla Spin-Off 'PLAID' As Their Very Own High-Performance Sub-Brand? - gallery

Ever since the Tesla Model S Plaid debuted back in June last year, the hype around it has been pretty phenomenal. It offers some pretty serious performance for what it is

Plaid of course is in direct reference to a scene from the1987 film 'Spaceballs', where a spaceship goes past Ludicrous speed and does Plaid Speed

While Tesla's have always been fast, should the EV giant capitalize on what the 'Plaid' name has done for them over the past year, with their own performance brand?

Just like BMW has the M division, Mercedes has AMG, AUDI has RS and Nissan has Nismo, Tesla too could offer some serious performance upgrades to its owners

While the Model S and Model X Plaid offer ballistic performance in terms of acceleration and are decent round the bends

For now, you only have a track mode which is more software than hardware

I mean wouldn't it be nice if Tesla also offers better suspension, brakes, and other performance bits and bobs?

Currrently, the Plaid is only offered with Model S and Model X

As for future Plaid models, Musk tweeted back in 2019, that it was only reserved for the Model S, X, and Roadster. Will he change his mind? Swipe up to read more.
