The EV manufacturer just bumped up prices and pushed back delivery dates on the 1,100-hp+ performance sedan.
Tesla is forever in the news headlines for various reasons, two of the latest being its misunderstood claims of self-driving tech, and its radical new yoke steering wheel, which has been causing quite the commotion on social media. The latest news to come from the California-based manufacturer has to do with what is possibly the hottest electric car right now, and one of the most potent: the Tesla Model S Plaid+. The Plaid was first revealed back in September of 2020 with insane power outputs and a hefty $119,990 price tag and was recently updated with a 520-mile Plaid Plus option. But just when you thought that Tesla was done causing a stir, it ups the price of its flagship performer by $10,000 and is making buyers wait even longer to get hands on it.
The NHTSA is still investigating.
Tesla is continuously pushing the boundaries in terms of automotive technologies. Its autopilot system has stunned us and has caused quite a stir on the internet, and the upcoming Tesla Cybertruck is set to revolutionize the pickup truck game, but sometimes the California-based company can go too far. We re talking of course about the brand s strange new steering wheel setup that some believe is preparing drivers for a fully autonomous future.
The steering wheel comes as an optional extra on the refreshed Model S and Model X, and looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. The NHTSA was recently investigating the new wheel and has now released a new statement regarding its stance on the matter.
