I've put 43k miles into my Model S in 22 months. Commuting is a hoot, and the Full Self Driving turns long-distance driving into a First-class airplane ride. The styling is minimal and yet timelessly gorgeous. My only major complaint is the lack of seat extensions. Even at 5'9", the seats are too short.

[@alexsiul1142]

Wrong info regarding Full Self Driving. Subscription at $99/month is a new option. People who own it still fully own it. The full price is $8000.

[@James-cq9dp]

autopilot comes for free with every tesla. Full Self Driving is 99 a month but it will drive you completely from point A to B making left turns right turns stopping at lights and Uturns. Autopilot just will stay in the lane and regulate speed for you. but Autopilot is insanely good for being a free add on.

[@Sadjina]

I never really understood the criticism of adjusting mirrors and steering wheel via the screen. You do that one single time when you get the car and then maybe a couple of times after for adjustments. That’s it. The upshot is that the profile is saved and can be applied to any other model S if need be.

[@WhatisaLee]

The criticism stems from not understanding what improvements were gained from making the switch from physical to digital controls. Seems like the primary motivation is cost-cutting under the guise of innovation; but it cannot be innovative if it solves a non-existent problem. And this issue is irrespective of frequency of use because it is a concession regardless. Of course, digital controls are not without their merits. There are certain functions such as navigation that would not work without a screen. But as more functions are relegated to the screen, the less intuitive all of its functions become due to the increasing complexity. (As an aside, the upshot of saving profiles can be implemented regardless of interface and doesn't necessarily invalidate the use of physical controls for the functions you mentioned.)

[@Sadjina]

@@WhatisaLee all fair points, and with respect to many other functions that usually are solved using physical buttons and switches etc. I absolutely understand the criticism. Just not with steering wheel and mirrors. I just don’t get how that is a big deal, but maybe I’m the weird one (fully possible).

[@darrenbarlow5759]

You have a profile memory so when you in your vehicle its know it is you and set the sit, steering wheel, mirror to your liking. And you can turn on auto cancel turn signal.

[@slyguyaction]

We have a 2023 Tesla Model X Plaid and overall, it's a sensational car to live with as daily transportation. While I got acquainted to the stalkless indicator buttons on the yoke (love the yoke btw) and auto shift from park pretty quickly, that exhilarating acceleration from just about any speed is something I've learned to enjoy as a perk of EV ownership in general and Tesla Plaid ownership specifically. Along with our Model 3, they're just SO east to live with that the only negative I can come up with is that we waited so long to make the switch and could have enjoyed this lifestyle a long time ago.

[@mayedalshamsi]

Two of my friends who recently bought Teslas have been trying to convince me to get one too. I was about 80% convinced. This video got me to 100%. I'm getting one! 😂

Strongly considering the LR. I just don’t see myself needing 2.1s vs 2.9s or 163mph top speed vs 144mph for an additional $14k. I love power and speed but where I live I will have a tough time opening up the LR more or less the Plaid.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

If you paid the full price for FSD you 100% never need to pay to use it. Its basically a stock feature of your car that you can use whenever. The subscription is a new thing that is an alternative to instead paying the full price of FSD. Its like leasing vs buying a car. If you buy a car the compnay wont make you lease the car on top of it to use the car 😂

Most of the features you're describing are in most of the teslas. They did a great job across the board on these cars.

[@cyborgLIS]

A couple of corrections. 1) Teslas do not have cross traffic alert. Especially now that the ultrasonic sensors have been removed, there are no front or rear corner sensors/cameras. 2) That is not the standard Autopilot being demonstrated. That is FSD. You can tell from the enhanced visualization.

[@mrdauntl3ss]

I love how everyone complains about the turn signal stock being gone. Which does seem like a bad move. Yet the reason they all complain is because they are hitting the turn signal after they are already turning the wheel. Which is not a correct way to drive.

[@muffinboi5180]

People love to glaze the plaid for it beating supercars in drag races. Well what do you expect when a company just recycles all the parts from the model s and just give some stronger motors, and a bigger battery. That's the only reason why the plaid costs 100,000 dollars because all it is is just a new model s. If Tesla made a actually new car than I'm sure it would cost super car levels. Also in order to use the cars full top speed you have to pay 20,000 extra dollars so in reality it costs 120,000 not accounting for taxes and cheap build quality.

[@IamY00t]

After watching this I'm mostly shocked at how bad the roads are over there.

[@TheMadmax0609]

Fun fact: The average person fills up their gasoline car once a week, and it takes about 5 minutes. 5 minutes times 52 weeks equals 260 minutes a year. That's 4 hours and 20 minutes a year standing next to a gas ⛽. I'm never going back to gasoline.

[@TheMadmax0609]

@@t-banan It's impossible to fill up a gasoline car in two minutes because you're not taking into consideration the drive time to the gas station, pulling up to the pump, grabbing your credit card, swiping it and entering your ZIP code and then standing there, next to your car... Waiting. I've had electric cars for over 4 years and I've never stood next to them waiting for them to fill up, not once. If you think getting gas, waiting for oil changes and dealership maintenance visits are more convenient than plugging your car in when you get home you're not very bright. Think of it this way, how long does it take for you to plug your phone in before you go to bed? How's your math now? 👈😘

to be completely honest, since the price for the plaid now is from 60 to 70k to some cases, i'm skeptical of whether buying that used or getting the refreshed tesla model 3 performance that is a little cheaper, and doesn't have that much features tho.
