Never in automotive history has a car with a "turbo" badge left a factory that isn't turbocharged. If Tesla had labeled the model 3 performance a model 3 turbo they would have been ridiculed. Just because Porsche trim lines have always gone S, Turbo, Turbo S doesn't mean they needed to do it to an EV cuz it isn't turbocharged.

Then why call the top Tesla Model S "The Plaid"? At least with Porsche there is some underlying meaning based on the history of use of the word. It's the top trim for a model.
