When established automakers turn a normal sports sedan into its supercar-slaying top performance variant (think BMW M5, Mercede-Benz E63 AMG), they usually also give the vehicle a wider body to accommodate different suspension and usually wider wheels. But Tesla is quite far removed from what we would call a traditional automaker, and when it made the Model S Plaid, it didn’t do a whole lot to visually differentiate it.
It has the exact same body as lower-powered variants and it’s only subtle details and badging that give it away as a Plaid. With the kind of performance that it offers, it would have deserved a sporty exterior makeover, but since Tesla didn’t do that, you will have to look for aftermarket solutions if you want to make your Model S look like it has over 1,000 horsepower...
