What’s goin’ on people? Mark from DCAR back with another review video. Today I give you guys a quick tour of this AMAZING 2018 Tesla Model S P100D. This is a hypercar embarrassing red light monster with (around) 700-900+ all wheel HP/torque doing 0-60 in 2.23 seconds making it the fastest accelerating production car EVER at the time. It has the acceleration of a roller coaster, while also being a very practical and quite comfortable daily driver! The best of both worlds is not cheap though… This P100D’s MSRP was $152,000 back in 2018. In this review, I go through all the ins-&-outs, show you all of the interesting features, and then I take it out on the road for an absolutely righteous rip!
Leave a comment down below, and let me know what you think of the Model S P100D. Thank you all so much for watching, and I hope you enjoyed my video!

Picked up one of these for $52,000 a couple days ago. Simply all I have to say, just like when I first accelerated this beast "WHAT THE F**KKKKKKK". What an amazing car holy crap

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

OMG! That seems like a great price for one! Where are you located? Also, how many miles are on it, and did it need any major repairs? I would absolutely buy this car for $52k And yes, the acceleration is comparable to what I describe as your own personal roller coaster. It is mind-blowing... I couldn't ever give up manual transmission combustion motor vehicles completely. However, I can absolutely see myself very happily owning and daily driving one of these. Congrats on adding one to your fleet!

[@AlecWyld]

These things are actually quite affordable now! They go for as low as $35k, and that's the P100D model too! @@DoubleClutchAutoReviews

[@smokestrong1000]

Looks like you bought too early. They're selling from 20k to 34k depending on mileage

[@cryptojedii]

Just scooped up this bad boy here in the Midwest for $58K w/ 29K miles - Ludicrous+, EAP & FSD included, thank GOD! Poor guy just got divorced and said 1st come 1st serve and I JUMPED on it! GOOD LORD am I impressed - and this is coming from a guy who drives around in a McLaren whenever I get the chance to go out West. I'll NEVER go back to a super car again!! Haha Thank you so much for your video!!

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

DAMN 58k sounds like a steal! Good for you! I certainly feel sorry for that guy too, but at least you capitalized on the opportunity. Yes, this car is seriously impressive. That’s very funny you mention that about the McLaren also. This car is not only a super car competitor, but can be a super car killer! My friend Marc, The owner of this car, is actually a racing instructor at Thompson speedway in CT and has TONS of experience with driving some very fast cars on and off the track. He also has his own personal used car dealership, and he was planning on buying this car to sell it. However, now that he has daily driven it for several months, he fell in love with it! Now he says that this car impresses him so much on a daily basis, that he cannot bring himself to sell it. That’s how you know when a car is done right! My only true concern is long-term reliability of course, but that kind of comes with the territory of owning a modern car, especially an EV. Good luck with the new ride, and I hope you enjoy it for many years to come! Thank you very much for checking out my review!

There's a 2016 with under 58,000 miles for around $39,000 I may check out in Louisville.

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

[@jianqiangxie1525]

why this video only has 300 views??? should be at least 30K

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

@jianqiangxie1525 Thank you very much! That really means a lot to me. Yeah, sometimes my videos get significantly more views than I expect. And on the other hand unfortunately, they also sometimes get WAYYY less than I expected... I still hold out hope though, because sometimes it takes a while for the algorithm to help show certain videos to potential viewers. I also think timing of posts plays a huge factor... Still trying to figure out what works best for YT. Thank you so much though for your comment and for watching!

[@AgeraXXX]

Always a good day when you drop a video 👍 very great review!! I like how you got appreciation for everything, electric or gas powered. Imma a big fan of the hellcats and all that but theres no doubt these cars on the future for drag strips. You looked like you were having a grand time on those pulls 😤😤

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

Thank you my brotha! Always happy to see your comments. And thank you man! I agree. I have to say, once you drive a really fast electric car, you TOTALLY get it. Sure, combustion engines will always hold a near and dear place in my heart. However, this car was easily one of the most fun, if not THE most fun car I've ever driven. This is purely because it was just SO fast immediately off of the line. And I know right... Clearly I wasn't enjoying myself! I only did it like 10 times over and over again! 😂😂😂 Thank as always for checking out the video bud! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I'm really proud of how this one came out!

[@AgeraXXX]

@@DoubleClutchAutoReviews it was a really good review! Yeah I had a friend who got to drive a Model Y on a 6hr road trip to Melbourne. They're great cars even if ppl dont like electric

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

@@AgeraXXX Thanks man! Yeah to be honest I was super impressed. I didn’t really understand the hype behind these cars until now lol

[@TheStevopb]

Hey thanks for making this video It was super helpful and informative. I had a new model 3 performance ordered, but cancelled after I found out I don't qualify for the tax credit. I was considering getting a used 2018 model s p100d instead, and after watching the review I'm pretty much sold on it, so fingers crossed I'll get one in a week or two.

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

No, thank you for your comment! I very much appreciate it. I'm sorry that the Model 3 Performance didn't work out. However, I must say that this P100D was an absolutely mind blowing car. I don't think you will be disappointed AT ALL. Let me know how it goes! Please don't forget to like the video, and also consider subscribing if you would like! It really helps me out to grow my channel, and I certainly appreciate it. Thanks so much again! Good luck with the search. -Mark

[@TheStevopb]

@@DoubleClutchAutoReviews I definitely subscribed and liked. I just picked up my 2018 model s p100d today and it's even better than I could have imagined It feels extremely "refined" and a completely different experience compared to the Camaro SS I trade in. I didn't get to do any launches or extremely hard acceleration because I had to conserve charge on the way home. Which means tomorrow is when the real fun begins. Thanks again for making these helpful reviews, keep up the great work.

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

Awesome, thanks so much! And congrats, good for you! I love V8 muscle cars, but I am sure it feels like QUITE an upgrade in every way over a Camaro SS except for the exhaust note. Let me know how it pulls! It is literally the fastest and one of the most fun vehicles I have ever driven. Have fun, and don't do anything I wouldn't do! LOL That really means a lot to me by the way. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! Enjoy the new ride, and be safe! -Mark

[@Jpandes]

@@TheStevopb Congrats! I bought a '17 P100D about a year ago and I so happy that I did. It's such a great daily driver. This is coming from a CTS V wagon w/ E85. I still have a modified C5 Z06 that gets driven very little:)

[@Ktc-bz3hu]

@@Jpandes I’m glad I found this comment lol. I’m really torn between buying a p100d and 2016 CTS-V. How do you like the Tesla compared the Cadillac? I’m just looking for a fast sedan and the Tesla is definitely faster of the two both stock. I’ve been a little worried about buying a Tesla out of warranty though. I’ve seen tons of videos showing all the issues they can have. What year was your V and do you have any regrets getting rid of it for the Tesla?

[@jorgerobles5616]

Gahahah “Damn you can feel it in your head!” Looks like you’re having a blast Brotha! Great review! Always spot on with the details and appreciate your honest feedback!! 👊🏽👊🏽

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

😂😂 You know it brotha! Hahah thank you man, and I always appreciate you watching and commenting! Stayed tuned for what’s coming up this week!

[@brandoncarter2708]

This is so much better value than the plaid for only a couple ticks of a second slower to 60. Can get one used with low miles for around 60-65kI think I’ll trade my model 3 performance in for one in a year or 2 😊

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

You have a very good point. And that’s not a bad idea! The only thing is you’re really sacrificing giving up the model 3 is the slightly shorter wheelbase by about 3 inches, and less weight by about 600-700 lbs. But in exchange, you are getting sooo much more power (I’d say at least 50% more, but close to double). Teslas are pretty heavy no matter what though. Yet, this P100D still absolutely rips around corners, so I don’t think you’ll be missing the model 3 too much! Lol I hope you enjoyed my review video though!

[@danruggles81]

Is this with ludicrous mode? I'm looking to buy one but not sure if all p100ds have it or how to tell which ones do

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

Great question! So, funny you ask that. Up until recently, all P100D models did come with ludicrous mode. Now, Tesla is apparently offering to have a $10,000 deduction in price on CPOs to have the software removed. I’m assuming that is to improve the longevity of the car by reducing the stress on the drivetrain that’s caused by the launch control. Therefore, making their warranties less likely to be capitalized on. To be perfectly honest, the car still accelerates INCREDIBLY hard by just stomping the throttle. That’s what I did in this video, because we were having an issue with launch control, so I just floored it. Clearly, I still had a HUGE smile on my face! IMO, you really don’t NEED launch control/ludicrous mode, even though it is very fun. However, I don’t think you’ll really be missing out that much if you don’t get it. If you end up going with one that does not have ludicrous mode, I feel like the $10,000 discount is potentially worth it! My best advice would be to call and double check with the seller if the one you’re looking at has ludicrous mode still active in the software or not. Then, take it for a good test drive, and punch it! If you are happy with the level of performance, I would just go with it if you feel like that specific car is a good option for you. That’s if you can get it for a fair price, of course! Best of luck with your search! Please also feel free to reach back out and let me know how it goes, or if you have any other questions. Take care, and have a good one! -Mark 😎

Very Bad this has the screen problem where the edges get yellow due to the usage of wrong glue. Tesla needs to step up their quality

[@stevedrawdy2532]

Old issue, this has been resolved for years.

[@sdpryce]

You are a many years out of date, only MCU1 cars (most owners of 2012-2015 cars upgraded to MCU2 to get Netflix etc anyway for a small fee so even resolved in the very old cars).

[@66Pipes66]

It’s a shame the car has all the charisma of a dish cloth. It’s soooooo boring to look at and not a very nice place to be in. Other than that I like it 😊

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

I see where you’re coming from… That’s kind of the big problem with EVs in general; they don’t have any character or soul when comparing it to a select few rowdy combustion engine cars. They also don’t give the driver any rewarding feedback in regards to engine sound, or a shiftable (whether automatic, or manual) transmission for instance. However, where this car truly shines, along with a lot of other high HP/TQ EVs, is just how brutally fast they are! Especially off of the line, this car absolutely rips! As a driving enthusiast, I see both sides. No matter what, though, you cannot deny how much fun it is to floor it in this car. Whether you’re a diehard internal combustion engine guy or not, this car will put a HUGE smile on your face when you put the pedal down. 😎
