I have had the privilege of taking a ride in a model s plaid recently and I have to say, the way it delivers power is absolutely terrifying. There is no wind-up period, no "prepare yourself" period, or anything else. It's stomp on the gas and pray your organs don't hemorrhage all the way to crazy levels of speed.

[@Shiftheads]

I just never get why people complain about charging when live at a house. I mean unless you drive 300 miles a day, you are just plugging it once a week? an you NEVER have to go to a gas station again. Like never pick up that dirty ass handle or realize in the morning you need to stop because you are low. You literally have the gas station in your garage. Now if you are someone that is always taking long road trips then i get it, but this guy is filling up his plaid for like 15-20 bucks tops. What other luxury car that runs 9 flat is filling their premium tank up for 15 bucks?

[@SSSandhu13]

Idiocy that’s why

[@sirrooster1541]

Calling a Model S a luxury car is crazy. I don't "hate" the car by any means but it is FAR from a luxury vehicle. It's really fast, yeah, but if you've actually sat in one of these things, they are not that luxurious. The design is mediocre at best, the seats have really poor cushioning and aren't shaped very well, a lot of the features being on a screen is pretty annoying to a lot of people, and in terms of luxury features, it doesn't have many. If you're looking for a super fast car and that doesn't matter to you, this Tesla is perfect. I don't have any problems with the charging, but oh man the build quality is awful for $150,000.

I skipped this video cuz I thought it was going to be another person raving about Tesla. But I was wrong! Let me start by listing the cars I currently own. 18 RWS R8, Jeep Gladiator on 37s, and a Prius. Sold the Prius this year to get a Model Y Performance and totally regret getting the Model Y. I had such high hopes for the Model Y that I didn’t even test drive one before taking delivery. I want to get rid of it so bad, but I don’t want to lose money trading it in. Glad to know I am not the only one that really dislikes Teslas.

[@johntheux9238]

Why Xpel and upgrade the wheels if you’re not going to keep it? You won’t get the money back on those upgrades when you sell/trade in. You’re paying for those upgrades so the next dealer/person will benefit.

I just bought the same tesla 2022 black used with 30.000 miles not plaid for $49.000 with fsd here in Virginia is unbelievable, the car is amazing

[@gwiz001]

I've owned a Plaid in the exact same spec (minus FSD) for the last 6 months and you share my thoughts exactly. It's obviously very fast but the best part about the car is the tech. I love the autopilot on long road trips and the ability to not carry around a key and just use my phone is very convenient. Never have to think about locking the car and I just get in, swipe up, and go. However, the lack of a steering wheel and an engine really take away from the driving experience. Despite the car being insanely fast, it is extremely boring to drive. No emotional or visceral connection. And charging is a bitch, especially on road trips. I want to replace it but not sure what with? RS7, M5, E63...idk.

[@Nimatodes]

Where do you live that charging has been a bitch? I've never had issues road-tripping in my Y.

The acceleration of the plaid is insane

[@drmichaellum]

I too have had several ICE vehicles: 2 Mustangs, 2 Supras, MR-2, 260Z, 3 280Zs, Motorcycles, and a Jetski, all modded. Have to say that after my 2014 Model S P85+, I just traded it in for a 2024 Model S LR, which is essentially a P100D with longer range (402 miles). The Plaid is now $15K more expensive to go 0-60 in 1.99 secs instead of 3.1 secs, both crazy quick. The model S is a full sized sedan, not really intended to be a sports car/track car. Despite its supercar acceleration, it's more like an Imperial Cruiser, and not a TIE fighter. It should be judged for what it is.

I have a model 3 performance and it’s the perfect car for the wife as a daily that doesn’t care for fast cars but fun for when I have to drive. If I have to choose fun, I always go to the Alfa QV. The exhaust sound, vibration and handling outweigh the quick stoplight performance of the model 3. I will say that charging is great for the pocketbook in todays gasoline prices but honestly I care about smiles per mile - not mpg. I don’t think anyone who loves cars and driving will ever fully like an all electric car.

[@sryofcrwsntme9517]

I think you are wrong. There definitely is a place for a Plaid in a true vehicle enthusiast. I've owned about 80 vehicles from big to small fast to slow and a true car enthusiast can find a vehicles attributes and applaud them for that, not the opposite and try and find things wrong with it! Enjoy it for what it is for God's sake! I'll take my plaid out and get just as much enjoyment out of her than my GT500, C8, miata ect!

With upgrades my SAAB has 470 hp with 480 fp gets 25 mpg in town and 33 hwy and total cost was 8200.00 and my insurance is 270.00 a year. Also the 1996 9000 has a built in roll bar reinforced A B pillars steal reinforced doors and is rated one of the safest ( even higher than Volvo ) cars ever built. Check out Top Gears SAAB VS BMW safety video it will blow your mind!

[@oamclean]

One of the main reasons to love Tesla is the futuristic simplicity of it. You hop in and you go. The car bathes your in a zen environment as it whisks you into the future at a rate of acceleration unmatched by anything else on the road. And if you drive a lot, for work or similar, the Model Y for example, which I own, pays for itself in fuel savings. For me at least, it literally doesn’t make sense to not own one.

Tesla has serious QC issues. I took delivery of my plaid a few months ago, will probably be my last unless they make serious improvements. The home delivery for starters is terrible, you cannot inspect the interior of the vehicle without accepting delivery. Any issues as you mentioned they claim they will fix later, only to find out the body shop is 3 months out. The cars should never leave the factory with these issues. The loose piece behind the screen is not normal, mine does not do that but others have had the same issue. Same with the car location being wrong throwing everything off. Your car will start vibrating too if it doesn't already...
