In the two and a half years since it has been in the market, the Tesla Model S Plaid has made a solid name for itself. It is a comfortable electric sedan with premium vibes that is quicker than most of today's supercars in a straight line, hence why it's been pinned against all kinds of fast rides.
A simple search on most people's favorite streaming platform will lead to countless videos that show the zero-emission hypersedan going neck and neck with some of the fastest cars ever built. People keep posting POV driving videos of it, too, and when it comes to hands-on reviews, the internet is full of such videos.
There isn't anything that hasn't been said about the Tesla Model S Plaid. From its practicality, design, charging times, performance, and features to some of the smart stuff it is capable of, everything is a few mouse clicks away. The same goes for the multitude of tuned copies that have graced the World Wide Web, with that list recently growing to include this purple example.
Shared by American tuner (with a German name) Vorsteiner, these images were released on social media right before the weekend, and they show a tuned version of the Tesla Model S Plaid. The all-quiet sedan comes with the company's aero program, which is defined by a few characteristics. Mind you, one does not have to be a fan of this model to tell what's new, as the add-ons are pretty much in your face.
As some social media users noted, the highlights of this tuned Tesla Model S Plaid are the front lip, rear spoiler mounted on the trunk lid, and new diffuser. But that is not where the work stopped, as it also has some fresh attachments to the sides and a new front hood. To make it more visible, a satin purple wrap (unless it was repainted, which we highly doubt) was added, alongside a set of new wheels with a V-spoke design that fills the arches better than the stock alloys.
Last but not least, it appears that the chassis was visited by the tuning fairy, too, as the whole car rides a bit closer to the asphalt. This modification, combined with the larger wheels, has left its toll on the comfort of the Model S Plaid, which is stiffer than its stock self.
Overall, we think some of these aftermarket goodies fit the car like a glove, whereas others don't. We're not fans of the new purple look, but we cannot say we hate it either. We just think it would've suited a Lamborghini better. But what's your take on this Tesla? Do you like the aftermarket touches, or do you think it looks better stock? Let us know in the comments area below.
