Does Tesla have a Model 3 Plaid in the works?

With a 0-100km/ h sprint time that puts the typical Porsche 911 in the shade, the Tesla Model 3 Performance isn’t slow … however it’s not as insane quick as the larger, more pricey Model S Plaid. That might be set to alter. Twitter user The Kilowatts has actually exposed the Tesla Parts Catalogue has a Plaid badge for the Model 3 in it, recommending an even much faster flagship is coming. Integrated with a brand-new vehicle in the very same brochure, the badge indicate a brand-new flagship for the Model 3 to sit above the Performance– a facelifted variation of which hasn’t yet been exposed.

That’s far from sluggish, it’s not a spot on the Model S Plaid and its 2.1-second run to triple figures. It’s unclear if Tesla will slot a tri-motor powertrain into the Model 3 Plaid, or whether it will draw out more power from the existing dual-motor setup. The Model S Plaid has up to 761kW of power and 1424Nm of torque from its triple motor setup, and can be optioned with a Track Pack that integrates all that power with stickier tires, larger brakes, and a track-optimised tune for the adaptive air suspension.

Tesla in May 2023 validated anybody awaiting a Model S or Model X would have their deposit reimbursed, and would be used a $3000 credit towards an order on the smaller sized Model 3 or Model Y. In the UK, the brand name has actually taken a more innovative service. MORE: Everything Tesla Model SMORE: Everything Tesla Model 3MORE: Tesla Model 3 evaluation
