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?

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.

Fun fact: regular leather is already sustainable

@Cyrribrae 15 дней назад

Yea. But raising the cows is very much not. Probably one of the worst things we do in environmental terms. It'd be fine if we didn't have so many - let alone constantly cutting down forests and even displacing people to make room for more.

@PROJEKRSX 12 дней назад

@@Cyrribraewhere would all the leathers go? if it went unused?

@Cyrribrae 11 дней назад

@@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.

@axiomic 3 дня назад

@@Cyrribrae factory farming is the problem, not cow farming as a whole. Regenerative cow farming restores farmland soil. We need more of it, not less. We definitely need less monocrop agriculture.

@Cyrribrae 3 дня назад

@@axiomic if that were the case, then again, we should move away from so much cattle. You can't "regenerate" the rainforest that is rapidly being cut down to make room for cattle grazing. You can't regenerate without a lot more time and care - both things that suffer when you are growing a lot. I strongly support small scale farms that holistically take care of their cows and the environs they live in. I love good beef. And that means we need less of it. A lot less.

@CARfariPark 19 дней назад

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.
