Tesla's latest update for the Model S Plaid sees car receive track enhancements that were honed on the Nürburgring.
Rolling out to vehicles in North America this week via an over-the-air update, the Model S Plaid Track Mode originated in Tesla's quest to achieve the Nürburgring lap record for production EVs, according to the company. A Model S Plaid achieved that goal in 2021The Plaid already boasts 1,020 hp and a claimed 0-60 mph time of less than 2.0 seconds, but Tesla upgraded powertrain cooling to give it the endurance necessary for proper track sessions.
The adaptive suspension gets track-specific tuning that reduces pitch during hard braking and acceleration, and rebalanced damping to keep the car more settled, Tesla said. Track Mode also sets the ride height to Low, and unlike in other drive modes, the suspension won't automatically raise while driving to improve comfort, Tesla noted.
Regenerative braking power was also increased to reduce heat generated by the friction brakes. This effectively allows for one-pedal driving, which Tesla believes will be better for track use.Tesla also said Track Mode gives drivers more control over electronic nannies. It includes a Race tune for the vehicle dynamics controller that allows more tire slippage, and will automatically adjust the torque split to improve cornering ability, Tesla said.
