Why I wasn't impressed with the 1000HP Tesla Model S Plaid

[@reallyemptypockets6509]

Midlife crisis guy, Honey, my phone 📱 died, honestly 🤥 Riiiiiiiiiiight

[@Gus-y5i]

Exactly 💯

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

The Plaid I own has the 19s and gets realistically 325 - 350 miles of range. I got mine with FSD and an added 1yr warranty with 4k miles for $58k. Had several issues but Tesla covered all of it and now I couldn't imagine loving any car more.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Original range of a MSP is 396 with 19s, and 348 with 21s.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

All of my loaners had FSD but if you hit the 85mph speed limit they disable FSD until the next trip.

Leech.

[@G82Watts]

I'm sure if u had a couple million dollars more u could easily find a car u love more. 😂

I got dropped off by a crazy girl one morning in a grocery store parking lot an hour away from home with a dead phone. There isn’t Uber here and After many challenges I finally found a ride home. I my girlfriend the same story about dead phone and lost my key. Bravo Craig

[@TheOriginalLugnuts]

Just a couple of years ago people were paying $50k+ over sticker for Plaids. Imagine paying $180k for a Plaid and two years later it’s worth $60-65k talk about suckers.

[@neilgunns8391]

When you can pay 180k for a car, you’re not a sucker, you’re a winner. Facts.

[@TheOriginalLugnuts]

@ yeah losing a $120k in two years is winning lol

[@MrJdebest]

​@@neilgunns8391No, people who came into money will blow it. The people who earned their money are more frugal than you think.

[@bentong8]

Nice that they gave you a loaner at least. I dropped off my M3 for an FSD upgrade and they don't want to give me a loaner.

[@deanmcmanis9398]

It is a fair review. And it can be tricky if you don't have a key car and do have a dead phone. But if you bought a Plaid this would not be an issue, because you would have a key card as a backup for your phone. The steering Yoke was mostly a first year thing. They added a round steering wheel as standard, with the yoke as an option. I like the E-Ray (love that blue) but the electric motor is just for AWD and performance. Zero Eco pretense. The regular (lane keeping, cruise control) "Autopilot" should be free and working fine. The Plaid can be driven normally and then be as economical as a Prius, but as quick (in a straight line) as a Bugatti. So it is more about the particular balance between lightning acceleration and practicality that suits you best. You should try out the new Model 3 Performance, which runs high 10s in the 1/4 mile, but it is lighter, better handling, and is $50K-$60K new. Of course it is relatively generic, but it has Stingray acceleration, and decent handling, plus daily driver comfort and practicality. I got a used model Y for the price of a Civic, and it is an impressive daily driver. I've also got a Viper, so I understand that mindset as well.

I’m 71. I have muscle memory to adjust radio by, reaching down. My 2015 Camry has radio controls up top. AC controls are down.. Not thinking, not looking, I do not reach up to adjust radio. It drives me CRAZY! lol. 😆 I loved your review of cybertruck on road trip and running out of juice and getting a recharge!

[@shanebird9918]

Good video...I think the Model S is the best looking Tesla. I would definitely consider one for daily use.

[@adelia-m6x]

Finally, another upload from you!

[@robertvance1873]

Always trying to fit in and tell everyone what you have 😂

[@segredosdotiosam9989]

Hey . you are in my neck of the woods. I'm in downtown West Palm. Thanks for the cool videos

[@tonyheymunkets]

I'm watching you for couple of years now I just want you to know that I like you you're cold dude I appreciate your channel

[@Clay_333]

I would only want an electric car as a second car, but if I was buying one I would definitely want a Plaid. I would definitely pick it over a Cybertruck. The reason I would want one is for the extreme, instant power and the Plaid is definitely the best at that. For normal daily use I would much rather have a gas car.

[@Raider19582]

Your Corvette is absolutely gorgeous.

[@S2NAZ]

Oh man, I was looking forward to seeing you get your truck back and see everything working ☹️

[@ag4allgood]

Not a fan of Tesla's. Model S Plaid to me just looks like any of the other models except the truck. So your key fob is basically your phone or the card TY I learned something today.

[@morrismontgomery2822]

Craig I believe that the Model S Plaid has "Track Mode" on it.

[@rob3812]

I have owned bmw, Audi, Saleen, etc. my 21 Plaid blows all the cars out of the water when it comes to handling. Not sure why you say it’s not a race car.

[@ericgilmore5949]

Dude can’t believe you guys moved to Florida. Live in Seacoast Nh and watched your vids since like 25k subs. Did u sell your Winni house? Congrats on the crazy KZbin success, my algorithm never shows me your new uploads except for this one

[@neilgunns8391]

Don’t expect to get a loner vehicle from a dealer again after this video. 😂 I’d be furious if I was them.

[@neilgunns8391]

The video title.

[@rob3812]

I have owned bmw, Audi, Saleen, etc. my 21 Plaid blows all the cars out of the water when it comes to handling. Not sure why you say it’s not a race car. You must have had the car on medium mode and not on sport. You do realize it’s on bags right?

[@schwinn04]

The Paid is stupid fast, but the LR is more than fast enough & I can't justify the extra cost to go plaid

[@YouSoundButtHurt]

it's not for brokies

[@jruerph]

They have been replacing peeling yolks with an updated version.

[@SnarkyBullet]

Craig, getting a urus soon??? 👀 now that the cybertruck is “gone”

[@Avfc-m4w]

If he didn't buy all the toys he buys he could have had one years ago.

[@DunnMotors]

Thanks Craig! I appreciate your videos

[@christophernowak6579]

Hey Craig, you mentioned the range on plaid at 251, but their website lists it at 348 miles. Hope you’re enjoying FL

[@G82Watts]

Its just boring. Tesla fans will justify the lack of looks, interior, and sound just to say they finally can afford a quick car but truth is people that are mega rich never drive a tesla. They still get that new porsche,bmw, lambo,etc..

[@neilgunns8391]

The mega rich have all the cars you listed and a Tesla. 😆

[@S2NAZ]

I was thinking the same thing. A fast yawn 🤷🏼

[@niagarajoe4402]

how long ago was this recorded? my friend has had autopilot on his cybertruck for a couple months

[@rbiddy5893]

Teslas depreciated worse than a Jag or Range Rover. The build quality is crap...don't get the appeal. But if you must have an electric car, lease it don't buy it

[@richhoops2413]

Hey Craig. Is that an Atlas Golf Cart?

[@geraldh.6686]

Is it fast in a straight line though?

[@michaelhartjen3214]

Driving in Australia with Flip-Flops you will get a $800 fine

[@josephvantreeck2989]

thx Craig

[@robertvance1873]

Craig can at least Afford the vehicle's he has and doesn't drive junk, while Randall always has a field of Shit 😂

[@19jarhead66]

I would not have an electric car if you gave it to me, I would just sell it, take the money and buy a gas powered vehicle. No offense, but the Cyber truck is the ugliest car ever produced.

[@neilgunns8391]

You coming to Daytona and the turkey run? Easy trip up 95 for yah now. I’ll be there, but it’s not really a place to buy in my opinion. Everyone thinks they’ve got gold. Maybe Sunday for someone desperate.

[@23nedlog]

Haven't you had enough of EVs? They are not the future. Are they instant torque? Yes, so what if you live in an apartment with no where to charge but a charge station and I live in a rural town in PA. Doesn't work.

[@aPpiknik]

EVs don't work for everyone. Not everyone lives in an apartment. Charging at home is cheaper than driving a gas 9 times out of 10
