Tesla Model S Plaid’s Incoming Track Package Promises Blistering Speeds – SlashGear

The Track Package will finally make available the hardware upgrades needed to push the Tesla Model S Plaid to its limits. This includes an all-new brakes package featuring “carbon-silicon carbide rotors, and one-piece forged calipers with high-performance pads,” notes Tesla’s website, in addition to new brake fluid and track-ready tires.

That kit will run you $15,000 to $20,000, and installations begin this June. That’ll take your total purchase cost beyond the $135,000+ list price, but it’s still affordable compared to similarly brisk luxury road rockets in its class (and there’s a long list of other features making a strong case for the sale for those who can afford one).

You can also purchase the 20-inch Zero-G wheels and Goodyear Supercar tires for $6,000 separately. Those include beefier center caps, valves, and lug nut covers to keep everything from spinning off the frame while maxing out the speedometer. Tesla teased the forthcoming upgrades with a short video showing the speedster racing down a track. Early Model S Plaid prototypes showed significant body modifications, including wider skirts and a large spoiler, but those upgrades don’t appear to be available as part of this package, nor do we know whether they ever will.
