BenzNinja does coding , not tuning. He changes the car's settings and optional features, but is not involved with high-performance engine tuning (boost) mods.

For those not familiar with tuning, make sure you save the factory tune. That way if you go to the dealer, you can put the factory tune back in so they don't void anything. It's easy to go back and forth between tunes too. Hope you guys love it
When I talked to BenzNinja on the phone he offered to tune my S560 engine. So I definitely think he does tuning. I'm not a tuned engine guy so I declined.
Yes! It will be a very safe tune and very noticeable improvement.
If you want it really dialed in, Slav can instruct you how to acquire some data whilst you drive, then email him and he will refine the tune and send you another file to flash into your ECU.
I have never understood the draw of the Plaid, I guess it is cool but seems like it is cheating. I could cook a Tenderloin steak in my Microwave much faster than on my DCS Grill out on the patio, but I will take the grill every time. I am just an old geezer though, what do I know.
My brother owns a Plaid. Yes, it's very quick. But most everything else on the car is sub-par. The doors don't line up properly, so the car shakes violently and rattles every time you slam a door. The car feels heavy and un-athletic. It feels unsafe to go fast because you don't have confidence that the car has the handling or braking to compliment the power. It's basically a turd on wheels with an iPad in the dash and a crazy fast electric motor.
Neighbor has a Model S ludicrous and the ludicrous part is the ride. The smallest cracks in the pavement jolt you like decent sized potholes and the car has zero character.
Some people love em but it's definitely not a car for me.
Nor have I. From what I have heard of Plaid it changes how one looks at acceleration.
It is astonishing.

I wouldn't go quite that far but build quality is not its strong suit, no.
Even if an electric car can accelerate a bit faster than my Z06 doesn't make it a better car. How many people drool at teslas driving by? ZERO.
How many give my Z06 thumbs up when i take it out? All of them!! Literally.
Picture says it all.
I'm not sure I can even tell the difference between the Plaid and a Model S.
Exactly!! All the hype is only about one thing, acceleration. Period. And since it's been out a while, that hype is dying out too. But a McClaren, a Z06, a Shelby? Timeless and always will be.
