Just picked up my Model S in ultra red, I would recommend getting the Ceramic Coating it make the car pop year round.

[@bestman7776]

I love the smell of new cars 😂 Congrats!

[@timothynguyenn]

Me too 😂😂

[@ChosenMJ]

Exactly the trim and color I want to buy. BTW, the gear selector at the base of the phone chargers is the backup to the screen in case the screen goes out you can still drive the car. Most people seem to think its a primary and you can use it that way but its actually a backup.

[@timothynguyenn]

Correct! One thing I also like is that they automatically turn on too if the screen goes black.

[@ChosenMJ]

@@timothynguyenn Did you hear they are going to put the ambient lighting and front camera on the later Model S builds.

[@timothynguyenn]

@@ChosenMJ Yup, heard there will be a refresh coming soon.

[@ChosenMJ]

@@timothynguyenn Yeah I'm waiting on it but in the meantime I'm going to just stare at yours. LOL!!

Hey Tim, I don’t know if you have a Dragy or if the car has a timer but had you planned on doing a 0-60 run by chance?

[@jimadams2113]

Love the color!

[@David-yq1tp]

can u do sentry mode reveiw and show what sentry mode/alarm looks like on model s

[@timothynguyenn]

Will keep this in mind for a future video idea.

[@tipsbyat]

Great night time video. Most videos I find online are in the day and this shows a much better idea of the lighting all around. I’m literally deciding between an S or an X right now in the ultra red and I can’t deny how sexy the S looks in any colour but especially this red.

[@JHillsEsports]

I wanted to see the car at night thanks for the upload! ❤

[@DdoubleU]

Overall how’s the ride and the quality?? I just placed an order. Curious if you’re satisfied

[@timothynguyenn]

@@DdoubleU Ride quality is amazing, put the air suspension in advanced mode and set everything to the softest setting. I’m happy with it so far.

[@H5691j]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@cheesun124]

No front bumper camera? Tesla gotta do better😢

[@timothynguyenn]

It’s on the way hopefully with the new Model S refresh that’s coming soon.

[@hmntthm]

Which refresh are you talking about???

[@Levi---q7p]

@@hmntthm There may be one in the next few years but nothing confirmed. Just speculation.

[@Uptownv]

I have a 23 Model S. I am loving the placement of the horn in the middle of the wheel! Model S feels so much luxurious than my Model Y. I am surprised at how much attention the Model S gets from people considering the body has been pretty much the same for a while, no one ever cared about the Y. Perhaps because you hardly see new Model S on the road, mostly you see 3 and Y’s. It’s a a bit flashy and I had to get used to that. If you ever want a smoother ride or would like to fine tune the air suspension select advanced mode and put the soft slider on the lowest setting then place the handling setting to mid or sport, depending on your preferences. I noticed the car rides smoother than comfort mode by doing that.

[@timothynguyenn]

Yes, you’re right! It rides wayy smoother when you put it in advanced and slide it to softest

[@hmntthm]

Does this car have the new interior trim lighting and the front bumper camera?

[@timothynguyenn]

No, that currently isn’t out yet or promised. Just leaks.

[@SickStyle201]

Is there ambient lighting all around the interior of the car like the new Model 3?

[@timothynguyenn]

No, there’s rumors that the new refresh Model S will have it.

I have been doing research on what to get Tesla Model S Plaid or Lucid Air Grand Touring... i guess i am settled on Lucid Air after this video. You should do your review daytime.

[@timothynguyenn]

Pretty much all of my videos are daytime, I was busy this day and only had time during the night to record.

[@xyzxyz6406]

Tesla full self-driving is miles ahead of what Lucid offers. Lucid doesn't even offer fsd and their charging infrastructure is prehistoric compared to Tesla's.

Will try and get a day review out for the Model S, I have lots of review cars coming in so we’ll see.

[@p3dtesla118]

NICE BUT still no front camera yet ah???

[@timothynguyenn]

Nope, only Tesla that has the front camera is the Cybertruck right now. Hoping the new Model S and X refresh that is coming soon will get it.

[@DerekDavis213]

For $95k, why would Tesla include the front camera. That costs extra! Or maybe buy a Model S?

Wait so the AWD regular S gets the steering wheel but the S plaid gets the other wheel?

[@timothynguyenn]

You can get either wheel on either trim, it's an option you can choose when you're ordering the vehicle.

[@CeeWorld69]

@ ohh ok ok, is it more expensive to get the regular steering wheel? Since the plaid comes with the yoke?

[@stephen2220]

Just had the steering wheel replaced with the mechanical horn variant in my 2023 MSP. This is the way it should have come delivered, the horn button was just a dumb idea. Also, as of May, 2024 there is a software update that provides functionality for the Auto Trunk feature, although it only works if you have IOS, according to the update the Android version will be along soon.

[@Razors378]

I also have a model s plaid 2023, that horn side button is driving me crazy, how much did it cost to replace the steering wheel for the new one? Not sure it’s worth it but it’s just irritating missed so many times honking at someone since it’s a reflex thing

ULTRA RED IS HANDS DOWN the hottest COLOR!! (for the Model S that is)

[@Chris-o2i3p]

Before purchasing a Tesla in Connecticut, I strongly urge you to carefully read the negative reviews of the ONLY Tesla service center in the state. This is the facility you will be forced to rely on for service, and my experience, along with many others, has been anything but pleasant. The staff appears to be heavily trained in predatory sales tactics, leveraging the lack of alternative service options to their advantage. Customers have reported being misled about costly repairs that turned out to be unnecessary. Some were even driven to sell their vehicles at a substantial loss, only for the new owners to discover that a minor, low-cost repair was all that was needed to get the car running perfectly. Do your research, read the reviews, and consider the implications of having no independent verification for their diagnoses before committing to a Tesla purchase in this state.

Honestly that's something you shouldn't be worried about. If anything - Teslas are one the most safest cars to be in during an accident.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So I just traded in my 2018 Tesla Model 3 for the 2024 Tesla Model S, and I got the standard stealth gray exterior color, white interior, and I stuck with the standard wheels and covers and everybody say they really like them, and so do I, and I saw no need to pay an additional 6K for the 21 inch wheels, that results in less range. So you said that you are 5/9, well I’m about 5’10/11 or so and I found that the backseats were terribly uncomfortable, and quite cramped, and so it was unbelievably uncomfortable, and I said to myself, if anyone is traveling long distances as a passenger sitting in the backseat, they had better bring along a pillow, and a back support cushion, because at least in the front seat you have lumbar support, but you don’t have that in the backseats, and so I don’t know what to say about that, other than, I was quite disappointed, that Tesla hadn’t put more padding in those seats. So thanks for the walk-through on the new Tesla Model S, I love the color, but not the black interior, I did consider the color, however, at $1500 additional bucks, I said no way, and I noticed you got the round steering wheel, I stuck with the steering yolk, and at first, I didn’t like it, but now it’s starting to grow on me and I’m getting more comfortable with it everyday, and what can I say about FSD version V12, as it’s absolutely awesome, and now that the price has just been cut from 12K to 8K, if I didn’t already own it, I’d be all over it. Cheers 🥂

[@DerekDavis213]

_what can I say about FSD version V12, as it’s absolutely awesome_ Have you watched the reviews here on KZbin for the latest 12.3.5 software? Still lots of issues and interventions. Perhaps 'awesome' is not the right word?

The protectors that are preinstalled are not made to be used permanently, they make the screens look low quality/resolution. If you really are worried about your screens getting scratched, get some glass protectors that won’t make the screens look low resolution off of amazon.
