![]() This car with proper brakes is an absolute beast, i cannot believe, it has been that fast here, it is unbelievable. "I had the honor (thanks to Tesla Belgium!!) of trying the absolute first TESLA MODEL S PLAID with the 20K€ factory CARBON CERAMIC BRAKE KIT!!!!īraided brake lines High temperature fluidĪnd let me tell you guy, this is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ANIMAL compare to the stock car!! First the top speed is unrestricted with that kit and i reached couples of time.350KM/H yes 350 (speedo) which is somewhere in between 320/330km/h GPS on autobahn test (video will be shared soon) Second i had the chance to bring the car for one full day on CIRCUIT de BRESSE in France for a real condition test, that is a technical small track which is normally great for small car like caterham, ariel atom or other lotus car and a TRUE NIGHTMARE for heavy cars and the brakes!!! Well after couple of laps i just did the track record for a street legal car on non semi slick tire here :))) Tire Original Michelin PS4S on original dimension 265/35/21 front 295/30/21 rear and original TESLA WHEELS the laptime (in this video): 1min33.610 is absolutely insane for this kind of big car who is totally not adapted for this track!! For give you an idea, i did here 1min31.70 with the gt2 rs MR on used cup 2 R and more interestingly 1min37.40 with the cayman 718 gts MR with also Michelin PS4S. Tesla Model S Plaid on Track plus Carbon Ceramics PLUS LAP RECORD! And because there is no point in spending this kind of money without anybody knowing, Unplugged Performance offer the carbon wheels for $14,995.Americans rejoice for (apparently) a lap record has fallen! This can be combined with a lowering module for the air suspension, for an additional $495. The kit consists of brake discs, calipers, and steel braided lines and costs $8,995.Ĭornering is just as important as braking, so a rear axle stabilizer is an easy decision, especially for a measly $395. The fastest production car in the world needs this set in order to stop reliably regardless of the situation. ![]() It is true that electric cars use regenerative braking mostly, but this is not the case with a performance sedan. ![]() In case you opted for parts and are serious about performance, your first stop is the carbon-ceramic brake set for the front axle. This sells under the name of Model S-Apex, and includes, beyond chassis and aerodynamics, a wide body kit to impress your friends and neighbors. Or for a complete car, although that will set you back $249,995, almost twice the price of the original model. So, if you want your Tesla Model S Plaid to be even wilder than it already is, this is the place to look for parts to improve its performance. Yet, somehow, there is always someone who needs more power, or more composed dynamics, and that’s we have so many companies trying to push the boundaries of sportiness, even for accomplished sports cars.įor Tesla, the go-to tuner is Unplugged Performance, the company that is behind Tesla’s success at Pikes Peak this year. The Model S Plaid is also no stranger from difficult racing circuits, like Nürburgring, an achievement that not many cars can count in their favor. The three high-performance electric motors can deliver 1,020 HP in total, enough to propel the electric cannonball on wheels to a maximum speed of 200 mph (322 kph). ![]() For $123,740, you buy a car that can do the 0-60 mph (97 kph) in 1.99 seconds, easily the quickest accelerating car in production today. The Tesla Model S Plaid is, for now, the top-of-the-range model in Tesla’s lineup.
