Tesla has canceled the Plaid Plus version of the Model S, the most expensive variant of its flagship sedan, for being just too good, according to CEO Elon Musk.
“Plaid+ is canceled. No need, as Plaid is just so good.” Musk twitted.
The tri-motor Plaid Plus was supposed to deliver 1,100 horsepower, 520 miles of range on a fully charged battery, and acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.
Like other North American automakers, Tesla has been grappling with a computer chip shortage and other supply chain issues.
In March, the price of the Plaid Plus was increased by $10,000 to bring it to about $150,000. By the last week of May, Tesla removed the option to order the Model S Plaid Plus variant from its website.
The remaining high-end version of the Model S Plaid will cost around $119,900 and feature a 390-mile range battery, with 1,020 horsepower and acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour in two seconds, among other features.
Tesla has been grappling with supply chain issues especially a computer chip shortage, just like other automakers.
It was forced to remove radar sensors and lumbar support from the front passenger seats in its lower-priced Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover for customers in North America.
Tesla did not produce any of its higher-priced Model S or Model X vehicles in the first quarter, even though Musk had said production was underway in the fourth quarter of last year.
