I know this video was about 5 years ago, but thank you for this! I really enjoyed it! I put your video into my Tesla Model S Playlist, and I'll subscribe after this comment. I own a 2023 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Performance that I absolutely love! It makes my other modified, 12.80 1/4 mile Infiniti Q50 feel slow! Cheers 🍻

Thank you for such an outstanding video review of this vehicle, as a BMW i8 owner. Love the cinematography, especially the drone footage and the background music. You make an excellent point about eDrive, providing "endless" free driving up to 55 km, for daily use Interesting point about the regenerative braking, and how unhappy you are with it. That is very good to know about the gritty brakes. I like how you show how to get into the car. Interesting how you never show exiting the car, which I think is the hardest part of it, and never looks glamorous. LOL Great discussion about the "split personality" between the electric and conventional motors. Enjoyed the video at night, with the blue LED lights on in the car. It does look specia. Thanks for an amazing video. Great job!

I have a Toyota plugin hybrid. when the 50 mile electric range runs out it automatically goes into hybrid mode using both engine and electric and the economy is still very good. does this not happen with the mini phev?

It needs 50km electric range minimum fuel tank can stay 35l

Finally drove a model s for the first time yesterday. It was an older 2017 model. But the leather felt like it was wading pretty bad, I didn’t quite like the screen being so large, but I can get use to it. Finally, I tested the 90d and it RIPS ! So much fun when you want it. The warranty is about to expire so I don’t think I’ll be going with it. But wow was it cool!

I’ve had my pre-owned I-Pace for 3 weeks and I’m loving it. My last two cars were Supercharged V8’s and the performance of the I-Pace easily stacks up. Yes, I occasionally miss the sound and feel of the V8 but the instant torque of the I-Pace provides an alternative experience that is equally addictive. The handling for a car this size is incredible and the driving position and overall feel of the cabin makes the driving experience very hard to beat. It’s every bit, a drivers car. I agree with the comments about the brakes, the transition from regenerative to mechanical is a little clunky but like they say, you learn to change the way you brake. You very quickly get used to using the regenerative braking and very rarely touch the brake peddle. I generally do 250km per week and I easily have enough “free power hours” in my electricity plan to do all of my charging for free. NZ is introducing road user charges for EV’s which will cost me NZ$900/year, but in exchange for a $7,800 petrol bill, that sounds like a pretty good deal. I’ve also just picked up an Audi ETron 55 for my wife and I think we’ve made the right choice on both fronts. The E-Tron has the more traditional SUV elevated seating position that my wife likes and provides a bit more room for our 3 kids and dog. It has the most incredible ride comfort but it doesn’t compare with the Jag when it comes to driving dynamics. I drove it from Christchurch to Auckland which is roughly 1,100km and it was supremely comfortable. For highway driving, it’s hard to beat. The charging network is already pretty good in NZ, there were plenty of options available and my charge stops doubled as refreshment breaks. A weekend drive on my own, I will choose the Jag every time. A weekend away with the family? Why not take both, electricity is cheap compared to what I’ve been paying for petrol.

I disagree with your perception about the plug in hybrid system. Using the vehicle in hybrid mode, not pure EV mode for the capacity of the battery, will take you much further per liter of petrol. 500 km of range on 35 liters versus 50 liters is an astounding improvement on fuel efficiency.

you do know the engine sound is all fake right? also as long as you look at the i8 in the right frame of mind which is a cool daily and not a super car then its great you have to understand its not the fastest or the most fun to drive but still cool in its own right which you do and that awesome

On, say, a 200 mile road trip, would there always be juice in the battery or does that deplete pretty quickly at the start of a journey? I would want there always to be charge in the battery to get the max performance from it.

Found one @ 30k a 2017 MS100D. Picking it up tomorrow. Coming from a 3L 2012 Touareg TDI, so I am not worried about upgraded MCU chips (I have none! can only go up), but $2250 is not a bad upgrade at the Tesla service center near me (If i want to stream or whatever). Felt like a fighter pilot whipping this up and down the highway....goodby VW oil changes, transmission, and differential service....(still have an apocalypse 2014 A6 TDI that will now be my weekend toy).
