Elon Musk is pulling the plug on his promised Tesla Model S Plaid+ super car about a year before it was expected to go on sale
Tesla still plans a"Plaid" version of the car. In a tweet on Sunday, the Tesla CEO said that Plaid+ was being canceled because there was"no need, as Plaid is just so good."But Tesla had talked about the Plaid+ being able to go more than 500 miles on a single charge, while the standard Plaid version is advertised as being able to go 390 miles. Both versions were to have three motors, more than the two in other top-end versions of the Tesla.
An unveiling of the new Model S, with a distinctive rectangle open steering wheel rather than the traditional round steering wheel, had been set for June 3. But that was pushed back to June 10 because Musk announced last week it needed some last minute tweaks.The entire auto industry has been struggling with a shortage of computer chips that has caused plants to shut down and automakers to shift what supply of chips they had to their best-selling vehicles.
