Ludicrous: a prototype of the new Tesla Model 3 Performance seen on the street

Ludicrous is the code name circulating among Tesla fans, who are still waiting for a replacement for the late Model 3 Performance. Since specific parts appeared in the repair manual in October 2023, other clues have leaked.

Latest to date, the video of a prototype seen in the streets of San Francisco.

Red calipers are visible, which suggests that this is indeed the sports model. Because yes, at Tesla, this color of calipers is reserved for the most powerful models. The car is also camouflaged at the front and rear, which suggests specific front and rear shields. A first for a Model 3, the old Performance version being satisfied with a carbon spoiler and specific rims to distinguish itself from the other versions. Moreover, only the Model S Plaid is currently entitled to this kind of attention from the manufacturer.

Finally, a piece of bucket seat stamped with the Plaid logo was seen. It is not impossible that he finds himself aboard this Tesla Model 3 Ludicrous.

All of this information gives hope that the treatment given to this new sports version will be more advanced than that which the old Model 3 Performance underwent. This would also explain why the latter was not immediately replaced with the arrival of the improved Model 3 (Highland). It remains to know the technical sheet of the new model.
