Tesla insiders hint at next-generation technology with newly reported “Palladium” project

The Palladium project remains cloaked in some secrecy, but word has been released that, “new production lines are needed in order to build the “Palladium” Model S and Model X electric vehicles. The cars are expected to receive new battery modules and drive units, which may potentially facilitate the super-fast “Plaid” mode that Tesla has been testing recently.”

In addition, word is circulating that Musk and Tesla are preparing to announce a new power pack, dubbed the “million-mile battery”. This completely new battery design reportedly packs more power in a smaller package, incorporates significantly new chemistry that can revolutionize battery powered vehicles, and can remain in service for over a million vehicle miles. Does the project title telegraph palladium as a key component in the new design? That’s not yet been verified, but if true, it could put even more pressure on global palladium production that’s already falling short of demand.

I had heard of "Plaid" but wasn't aware it was short for Palladium. I've read a lot of articles about Plaid and it has been referenced here many times but never associated with the full Palladium.

That's why I posted the article.

Palladium and Plaid are different things. Plaid was the trimotor driver-train optimization, Palladium is the battery setup (so goes the rumors).

Plaid was derived from Palladium(the project, not the metal, just to be clear ).

Where did you get this information?

Lots of vaguely uninformative articles like this one which make statements and few sources.

Ok, can you name one source where you got your information and maybe a link?

Ludicrous Speed and Plaid are both references to the movie Space Balls:
