Despite being listed in the automaker’s configurator tool (albeit grayed out), Elon Musk has announced that the Tesla Model S Plaid+ has been “canceled.”

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, Musk noted that the Plaid mode is “just so good” as reasoning for the cancellation.

Many are noting that Plaid+ may have crossed into what Tesla is aiming to do with its highly-anticipated Roadster.
