Something else I didn’t mention in the video, the customer support was an absolute joke. Getting the car into service was a nightmare on an app that wouldn’t let me submit all the issues. Followed by an hour wait to drop off the car since there’s only 1 human at the service center. Also no loaners, a $50/day Uber credit is all that’s offered while the car is there for issues from the factory. You spend $150,000 for a car and get worse customer service than a $25k Toyota. Again I think Tesla is a great company and the cars are pretty clever. But they’re not ready for the $100k+ market in my opinion 🙃

That would be the same Audi company responsible for sudden acceleration and causing deaths and injuries and whom never took responsibility for their faulty idle control unit. Fun fact. I had the Audi 5 cylinder 2.2 liter engine in my VW Quantum. I experienced sudden acceleration in which the car tried to force me into a brick wall, and then tried to drive me through an intersection. In both cases I quickly moved the gear into neutral and then shut down the car. The mechanic at VW acknowledged it as a recall on the idle control unit. But the company never accepted blame. Ergo it’s tough for some of us to wish to patronize Audi.

With rampant car thefts that are getting more violent, the best thing about the Plaid S is that it won’t get targeted for theft because the places they ship stolen cars do not have the infrastructure to use them (not to mention even if they did, you could kill switch your Tesla). That peace of mind is absolutely a huge advantage over every other $100k plus car.

[@MikeCosmi]

Just spent 10 days with a 2023 Model S on a 14 hour road trip. This was my first longer experience with a Tesla other than test drives. I’ve driven all kinds of cars from normal cars to McLaren’s and Lamborghini’s…and I was not sure what to expect road tripping in an EV. Range anxiety went away pretty quickly and stopping for 15 or 20 min a few times along the way was not a big deal, and actually enjoyable. The autopilot was phenomenal. The only gripe was that once I got to the destination the closest supercharger was 30 min away. If I was able to charge at the place I was staying that would have been much easier. All that said, I took this road trip to help me decide whether to buy my own, and I will 100% be buying my own plaid in the near future. I think the value you get for a 90k plaid is unmatched. Wickedly fast. Amazing tech, and just a lot of fun.

I show off to friend a few times and never use it again that way. Also, the safety features are total crap. Lane departure is useless. Sounding off when there is no issue and not when I should hear it. Slow speed collision avoidance sucks too. Visual autopilot turns the wipers on during a dry heat wave for no reason. (Yes, my car was clean) . The RANGE is a total joke. Realistically only 2/3 the stated range. There is a reason they bury the trip odometer two menus deep.

Thanks for a dose of reality amidst a sea of Tesla Kool-Aid slurpees. Technology advance aside, the main point is basic things like fit and finish of Teslas are simply unacceptable in cars of Tesla's $65K - $150K price range, period, let alone poor interior materials. Honda would fire the entire manufacturing line if their $25K Civics have these basic rudimentary fit and finish issues. And I see many commenters saying "mine if fine" but they cannot deny the number of "mine is not fine" buyers out there. For the thousands of Nobel and PhD genius Tesla hires, maybe they should hire some good manufacturing people. What other car companies where new customers come to pick up their car have to run their fingers to detect panel gaps?

However, my Model S doesn't rattle and maybe since my version is a 2020, i don't experience the yoke issues nor missing turning signals. My model has the older interior which after almost a decade of production, has a little better fit and finish. Also, one KEY cog in my perspective, i bought my Model S used... 35k miles, practically brand new... but half the price of new. Evaluating my car as a 55k car drastically changes your expectations.

[@TheAeroegg]

Fair enough, sounds like you got a Friday build, it happens. Rattles and squeaks would drive me crazy. My experience has been very different. I got my Plaid at the end of August and the only car I’d realistically consider trading it in for is the Roadster if it comes out. There is one minor rattle with a plate under the movable display screen, barely hear it over the radio, I’m not in a great hurry to get it fixed. I think the yoke is fine, the only issue I have is I think the horn should be in the center. I have a house in Oregon, bought the Plaid there (no sales tax!) and I already drove it over 2,000 miles to my other house in San Antonio. I thought the Plaid offered a better driving experience than my diesel SUV that gets over 700 miles on a full tank. There were lots of superchargers along the route and I really didn’t need more than 20 minutes of charge to get me to the next supercharger. Autopilot makes a huge difference in a long drive. In the end it was $100 cheaper to drive the Plaid compared to my SUV which gets 31 mpg. The Plaid’s driver’s seat is very comfortable to me. It’s my daily driver and like you said the one pedal driving is great. Exterior build quality could be more precise in a few spots. I found no fault with the interior.

Great video quality as always Joe! Nice job. Don’t really understand the complaints regarding value. Joe is totally ok to have his own opinion of course. I’m 24,000 miles in on my Plaid. The Porsche I have is definitely a better build quality. That said, for $140,000 it’s faster than everything on the road, drives itself, has a full entertainment suite KZbin, Disney, Netflix. Has great range, etc… I just drove to LA Friday and back Sunday and my passengers couldn’t shut up about it being the best road-tripping car they’ve ever been in. Literally never had an issue road-tripping. Bay Area to LA, one stop at a supercharger for lunch or dinner and by the time you are done eating, you’re car is ready to go. Definitely agree that the brakes should be stronger. Loved my McLaren 600lt and my current 911, but the Plaid is such an amazing value in my eyes. Saying the ford lanekeeping system is in the same hemisphere as autopilot is painfully wrong. Really? Come on man. autopilot takes exits, predicts collisions, can handle stop signs, red lights, etc… I’ve driven my buddy’s f150 platinum many times and the tech is just not in the same hemisphere. Anyways… not trying to convince anyone that Joe made a bad decision. He should love the car he buys and it’s clearly not for him. S class def has better build quality and luxury. But it drinks gas, doesn’t drive itself, is slow by comparison, has far less entertainment features, a much worse infotainment system in general, less storage space. The EQS is, of course, a joke. If you value speed, technology, safety, and entertainment over luxury and build quality, the Tesla is a great value.

Exactly. Tesla vehicles really are on a level of their own... Nothing even comes close... You'd have to be brain dead to buy anything other then any 1 of the Tesla Models.

@@xrpo.g6855 yeah, they are in their own level of terrible exteriors and interiors. Maybe some day they will get to the german level.

[@rayhend6698]

I couldn’t agree more. And I just have the Performance 3, and I can totally concur with the acceleration comments he said about his passengers. I absolutely love this car! I’ve driven them all: Mercedes (still have one), BMW, Land Rover, Lexus, Infiniti, Jaguar, you name it. Hands down, Tesla is in a class of its own. I will NEVER go back to anything with gas, for all the reasons you named above, and then some. It’s not for everyone, but they literally cannot build them fast enough for the demand. Obviously they’re doing SOMETHING right.

[@xrpo.g6855]

The level where the german cars break down or consume so much oil that you have to fill oil in between oil changes & when they do break down you pay an arm and a leg for the repair because its a german vehicle... lmao... You don't have to worry about any of that again with a Tesla... Greatest cars ever made to dat... Fact. Thats why in Europe the model 3 & Y are already 1&2 in the top 20 best selling vehicles. Tesla for the W....

I have a 2010 E60 550i and a 2018 Model X 100D, bought the X cause family was working there at the time. I drive a lot for work, currently 110k miles driven. I can do mileage deprecation, that played a big role in me keeping the car, car also has free supercharging for life. My E60 is much better car, personally the basic things are what disappoint my in the Tesla ex. headlights, switchgear, dimming side view mirrors (this actually pisses me off the most, they are so bad). The suspension and braking is atrocious compared to my E60. IMO the only Tesla model someone should consider is Model Y, all of the engineering effort is being spent on that car and it shows. The single piece castings, make a huge difference in build quality. The pricing is still kinda wack, but it’ll come down fast next year as the Austin factory ramps production and EV tax credit. The flagship EV Sedan is the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, EV SUV is the BMW iX. BMW iX is arguably a better EV than the Taycan, they did an incredible job.

Tesla MS has ambient lights and now slightly used Plaids cost around $80K. So it's actually a good deal compared to $130K

I walked past one leaving work tonight and I couldn't believe how uneven the doors and the gappings were...

[@senadhasanbasic260]

Its like a 1000hp Camry with no quality.

When I’m coming back from the store with full hands my x opens the door for me. No need for buttons. On hot days the interior stays at my preferred temp. On cold mornings my car remembers what time I go to work and warms itself up to my preferred temp and defrosts windows. When I get in my calendar is on the screen with navigation pulled up to my job and the estimated drive time for my commute. On the way to work I don’t need to steer. I’m not a Musk fan but I’ve drive porches and Ferraris and they don’t compare to tesla. Sorry but this reviewer is off. Either he got paid for a bad review or he has a problem with all alectric vehicles. From a tesla driver, this guys just seems dishonest with his viewers. The car even comes equipped with cameras so you can see if anyone taps your car.

[@senadhasanbasic260]

@@AR-rn8ok Yeah, its a true communist vehicle, monitors you and anything around you. The perfect chinese government car even if its american. TikTok on wheels. And obviously it doesn't compare to Porsches, its just a Tesla. Thats like comparing a Prius to a Porsche.
