Remember when Tesla\u2019s Ludicrous Mode was all the ragve before it was one-upped by Plaid in 2021? Well, the Space Balls<\/em>-inspired seed motif might make a splashy comeback in the form of a new trim level for the entry-level Model 3, according to an extract from the American carmaker\u2019s parts catalog that was unearthed by the X account @klwtts.<\/p>\n

The notoriety of the Model S Plaid, a car that\u2019s known for taking down gas-powered supercars that cost more than twice its sticker price in a drag race, is undeniable. But even though it\u2019s cheaper than many of the cars it\u2019s capable of outpacing, it\u2019s not exactly affordable.<\/p>\n

Last time we checked, a 1,020-horsepower tri-motor Model S Plaid had a starting price of $89,990, which is more than double the price of a base, rear-wheel drive Model 3 that starts at $38,990 in the United States.<\/p>\n

Complete with sports brakes and suspension, as well as a Ludicrous-style badge on the trunk lid, the pack might also come with a set of all-new, never-before-seen 19-inch wheels called Helix, according to the parts catalog images posted on X.<\/p>\n

Tesla hasn\u2019t said a word about the possibility of a more performance-oriented entry-level EV; in fact, CEO Elon Musk\u00a0has even said during a podcast that a Plaid Model 3 would make no sense. However, by the looks of it, this isn\u2019t Plaid we\u2019re talking about, but Ludicrous, which is a step below the Plaid speed in Space Balls<\/em>\u00a0that famously inspired all these driving modes.<\/p>\n

Moreover, a previous report said that the refreshed Model 3 might get a new type of electric motor that bears the letter \u201cT\u201d in the eighth position of the VIN, just like the European-market Plaid Model S and Model X, suggesting that a more powerful variant of the cheapest Tesla is in the works.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth mentioning that the facelifted Model 3 doesn\u2019t currently have a Performance version as the pre-update EV had, with only the rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive Long Range versions on sale everywhere but in North America. In other words, Tesla might switch things up a bit and label the upcoming performance-oriented Model 3 as Ludicrous instead of Performance, as was the case before.<\/p>\n

Ludicrous Mode is one of several acceleration modes available on pre-2021 Model S and Model X EVs, alongside Chill, Standard, Sport, Insane, Insane+, and Ludicrous+. These were replaced with a much simpler list of options after the cars were updated at the beginning of the decade with only Chill, Sport, and Insane (or Plaid, depending on trim).<\/p>\n

The Model 3, on the other hand, has Chill, Standard, and Sport, the latter being available only on the Performance variant that\u2019s yet to be part of the facelifted lineup.<\/p>\n
