Unplugged Performance has developed a modified Tesla Model S Plaid with better performance, handling, and looks than the original. Is Dark Knight the Tesla that Tesla should have made in the first place?

Correction: The von Holzhausen material business in fact belongs to Franz' wife, Vicki von Holzhausen! With a background designing cars at GM, Mercedes and Audi, Vicki's ambition is to create sustainable materials like Banbū for the automotive world and beyond.

  • Thanks Rory & Autotrader for spending some time with our daily driver Dark Knight! Great video! Our S-APEX widebody Model S Plaid program continues to evolve and will get even better with time. One correction: the von Holzhausen Banbu leather we utilize is not Franz’s business, it is his wife Vicki’s business. Vicki von Holzhausen deserves all the credit as she’s developed some incredible materials that are not only sustainable but higher durability, lighter weight, and with an amazing feel. We previously would use Ferrari leather on our interiors but the vH we find to be superior for our builds.

    Dark Helmet is simultaneously the son and the brother of Dark Knight according to the video, I'm concerned about what's going on in that family..
  • @Pajaa37
    actually Dark Helmet is Darth Wader in Space balls….😂😂😂😂😂
  • @4viator
    The plaid now comes with more sporty seats already
  • @coops6621
    Dark Helmet…….think I’ve seen that film
  • @_bearcat
    But what if Unplugged Performance became to Tesla what AMG is to Mercedes though
  • @kevinburke6743
    Has it got front suspension lift? That front apron looks low, Big & very expensive to repair/replace?
  • @Ozzzzz861
    put a red light bar on the front and this would be a great new Knight Rider car.
  • @zestyorc6506
    So an upgraded model S and they don't fix the seats or the wheel, seems pretty crap. How is the range at track speed, was it extended? How does it compare to a 3 motor Lucid?
  • Commitment and down-to-earth attitude are truly inspiring. Keep it up.
  • @haknys
    I preordered a Unplugged fender for Model S. Was delayed and delayed forever. In the end I sold my car. I asked for a refund as the part was never delievered. Unplugged stopped replying, and ignored me. Says something about the company. Nice vid. Regards from Norway.

    That slightly wider panel gap on the left headlight irks me whenever i look at it. Still looks pretty slick though.
  • @andream959
    I have a track pack on my Plaid and it is absolutely brilliant. The Dark Knight treatment looks impressive though.
  • @Bruce4lmighty
    The yolk only works when you can to lock to lock without removing your hands, otherwise it’s an epic fail as Rory pointed out…
  • @SandroNatale
    That’s my biggest complaint about driving fast in it. I can never really tell how much grip the tires have. The front lifts so high under acceleration.
