A Tesla Model S Plaid refresh has been spotted out in the wild, in the streets of Palo Alto, California. We continue to see more Model S Plaid versions spotted out testing again.
According to images shared by Zack (@BLKMDL3), we see a Model S Plaid with a yoke steering wheels, red-painted calipers, rear carbon fibre spoiler and factory ‘Plaid’ badging to indicate it’s not just a Long Range version of the electric sedan.
