Dark Knight! The Tesla Elon Should Have Made | 4K
Рет қаралды 335,527
Күн бұрынUnplugged 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.

@@PROJEKRSX I have no problem with leather. I'm a proponent of whole animal butchery and using every part of the animal. Hate food waste and things like bones and hide are useful. My problem is with having so much of it in the first place. We raise so many cows, way more than is sustainable. And then there's too much to use, so tons of it goes to waste. We could easily supply all our leather needs with far fewer cows than we have today.

Beautifully shot. The Autotrader content just keeps getting better and better! An interesting car - I'm a Tesla owner and fan boy , but I'm struggling to see how 'This is the car Tesla should have made'... It just seems to be mainly a cosmetic upgrade with some performance parts that will actually hinder driving pleasure when using the trashed roads we all have. I think the Unplugged features look great, but I'd love to see a company crack the Tesla code and start playing around with the hardware, and figuring out ways to truly mod the whole car. I appreciate the Dark Knight has some handling upgrades, but essentially, the car is Plaid with some trinkets.
