Yeah way off on the MSRP Joe. The CF treatments shown don't count and even if they did, no more than $4k in mods. Giveaways have become a pervasive annoyance to the KZbin car community. Let's keep things Raiti and be accurate with the numbers.

@@Qkazam what you fail to understand is that quickly advancing ev technology AND the COMPETITION (meaning other viable ev choices) will make them drop faster than comparing todays market. The plaid was the only game in town a few years ago. suoercharger network could only be used by tesla. That is all starting to change. In fact Tesla is now number two in ev sales in europe. Give it a little more thought next time buddy. While they might not hit $20k in the next few years, $30k is certainly probable as they will be surpassed in many metrics including performance, efficiency, battery capacity, charging speed.

The m3 cs is faster on the world’s reference road course Nurburgring 12.9 mile full lap was 7’28” on street tires compared to 7’35” plaid on street tires. The plaid has to resort to special track tires and brakes (cost is $20k) to beat the street tire m3 cs and only by 3 seconds. Put track tires on the m3 cs and plaid gets smoked. Oh and unlike the plaid, which can only complete two laps without power loss/limp mode, no such problem for the M3 cs. Game over, you will lose at the track with a plaid. 🤣🤣 Now as far as the drag strip, let me know when a plaid runs 7.98 at 177 mph, because an m3 did just that. Of course, it will cost a lot of money but we’re talking 1,700 horsepower and well over 1,000 lbs less weight. If you’re gonna cry about the cost we do have M3’s with stock unopened engines running 8.56, still faster than any plaid in the world. You see, unfortunately any way you slice it an m3 can go faster than any plaid, because we can make far more horsepower and have far less weight. Game over. M3 is the faster platform. You lose. 🤣🤣🤣

If you’re willing to buy a new intake manifold and port injectors (they fit in the new manifold) you can push even more fuel and boost and run low 9’s (record is 9.11 with seats removed too). Those additional mods will get you close to 900 horsepower. All of these mods were done on a completely stock engine with stock turbos as well. The fact is if you want to consistently beat an s plaid on the strip with the passenger seats in, it will probably take a turbo upgrade. that will get you deep into the 8’s and you’ll want to rebuild the transmission at that point for durability. So, you can easily run with and beat a plaid on the drag strip if you’re willing to spend more $. But, I’ll be the first to admit, that will make the plaid more worth it to many people (don’t have to touch it, warranty etc), but a tuned m3 not only can run with a plaid on the strip it will absolutely kill a plaid on the track. This has already been proven when both cars are setup on the same tires. Think about it, even if you have a basic tune on an m3 you’re well over 800 horsepower and still weigh 800-900 lbs less. With that kind of power on the track, weight matters more and while the plaid carries a lot of that weight low, the m3 has nearly a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Have a nice day!

There is a CENTER button on top of that back seat that you are trying to pull down, lol...I have a 24 Model S Plaid. There is for sure an arm rest, with two more wireless charging pads in there too...along with more storage.

@DPrent Depreciation is the most important variable when it comes to determining the ownership cost. Guess what? No one wants to buy a used electric car with 70-80K miles, even with a clean title. It's not about hating tesla (it's fun), but its just a horrible financial decision (unless you lease it). Oops, it depreciated 40% now as Tesla slashed the prices again to spark the drying customer demand. ;)

If you’re buying a $90k car you aren’t worried about depreciation. Nobody’s wants to buy an any car with 70-80k in miles. No car is worth anything with that mileage

@arsalan825
@arsalan825 27 күн бұрын
@jorynelson1682 Clearly detached from reality, the average car lasts 200K miles, and most cars in used car markets are around 70-80K miles. People buy used Toyota/Honda/Lexus vehicles with 70-80K all day long. Whereas, tesla itself doesn't want a used tesla as trade-in. Until Tesla reduces the battery replacement cost by 5 folds, we'll continue to see fan boys getting rekt financially.

Nice review; however the price and range you reported are incorrect. The 359-mile range is only that high if you have the 19-inch wheels that come with the car. Those 21-inch wheels (upgrade) u have on that plaid decreased that number to around 320 miles. Price has dropped to around 90k before tax also. End of the day the car is a beast tho! My brother has the 2024 S LR. I opted to get the 2024 Tesla M3 LR RWD and paid half the price of this car. Plaid is so amazing! Well presented
