Tesla Model S Plaid with new Track Pack

For all Tesla owners, good news comes from the company. According to information published on Tesla’s Twitter profile, the Model S Plaid track pack is coming soon.

The Model S Plaid track pack includes forged aluminum Zero-G wheels, Goodyear Supercar 3R track tires and brake fluid, new carbon-silicon carbide discs, and one-piece brake calipers with high-performance pads. The package will cost between $15,000 and $20,000, depending on the list of components the customer chooses, and will be available from June 2023.

Tesla says that the ceramic brakes are compatible with the 20-inch Zero-G and 21-inch Arachnid set, which means that all those with 19-inch Tempest rims will have to replace them.

Tesla Model S Plaid is powered by three electric motors with a total power of 1,020 hp (750 kW) and 1,050 lb-ft (1,424 Nm) of torque, with a range of 396 miles. It reaches 60 mph in 1.99 seconds with a top speed of 200 mph (322 km / h).

There is also a track package for the Model 3 Performance that costs $5,500. These include 20-inch Zero-G wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, high-performance brake pads and Bluetooth tire pressure sensors.

Three new Tesla Roadsters were hidden for 10 years

Recently, we have witnessed situations where cars were hidden in barns for many years. First of all, we are talking about older cars that are often in bad condition. However, news comes from China about shipping containers with three brand new Tesla Roadsters that have been hidden for 10 years.

The cars are in pretty good condition, if we consider that they have not been driven and maintained. This small collection consists of Tesla Roadster Very Orange, Very Orange Sport and Radiant Red Sport. According to available information, all three were bought by the same customer and transported to China, where he abandoned them for unknown reasons. During the ten-year period, a storage debt was accumulated, which the seller will now pay.

Any car that has been standing for a decade, regardless of its original condition, can suffer serious degradation, but a ship transporter is not a bad place. Electric cars don’t carry with them the same problems that characterize vehicles with an internal combustion engine, but that still doesn’t mean that Roadsters will be roadworthy when their batteries are charged.

Now these three cars are looking for new owners and the sale has been announced by Gruber Motor Company.

Tesla’s future plans

Tesla recently announced its future plans, and one of them was a surprise for some, but also a reminder of the past. It is the construction of a building that would include a restaurant, a drive-in movie theater and an electric vehicle charging station.

In the video shown at Investor Day, the plan of the future building could be seen for a few seconds. The goal is to improve the current customer service, which is considered the most advanced in the world and with the best user experience. A possible wireless drive-over charging dock has also been hinted at, although details are scarce for now.

Tesla has been developing its charging network for a long time, so this idea with a restaurant and a drive-in cinema to provide a better atmosphere for visitors while charging their electric vehicles is not a surprise.

Back in 2018, Elon Musk mentioned something like this for the first time, and last year the Tesla company submitted an application for the construction of a building on Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles. The building will have two floors, two different movie screens and 28 supercharger stations.

Are we going back to the 60s and 70s, but this time with electric cars?
