- Tesla has considered a tri-motor Model 3 internally, but it probably won't become the next Plaid model.
- Lars Moravy says Tesla’s best performance hardware is currently being aimed at the Roadster.
- A Model 3 Plaid would need more than just extra power, like major brake and cooling upgrades.
With the Model S and Model X now retired, one obvious question hangs over Tesla’s performance lineup: where does Plaid go next? The Model S Plaid was the car that turned Tesla’s already quick luxury sedan into something absurdly fast, using a tri-motor powertrain to deliver acceleration that is still almost unbeatable nearly five years later. The Model S Plaid was quicker than the new four-motor Ferrari Luce, which is set to cost over $600,000.
