Remarkable news about Tesla. CEO Elon Musk announces in a tweet that the Model S Plaid + is no longer on the market. According to him, that would not be necessary because the Plaid ‘is already so good’.
The Model S Plaid + should have changed the beacons in the EV world. Tesla promised a power of more than 1,100 hp, a range of 837 kilometers and a sprint time to 100 km/h in ‘less than 2.1 seconds’. Apart from the specific range, however, the figures never became concrete. Musk says on Twitter that the Plaid+ has become redundant because the Plaid would already be good enough. He also mentions no reason for canceling the absolute top model. It seems that not everyone agrees with him, because some Twitterers respond that they have withdrawn their order for the new Model S.
