25:32 The manual seems to suggest it's a backup: "In addition to manually shifting gears on the touchscreen, you can select a gear by pressing [one of these]. In most situations, these buttons are not available until you press one of the gear buttons to activate it". "In situations where the touchscreen is unavailable (for example, experiencing a technical issue), or Model S is in Valet or Transport Mode, the gear selector on the center console activates automatically and there is no need to touch it to activate it".

Doug's never panted in other reviews I've seen. I've launched the P100D and it's quick enough to be surprising the first time. And the Plaid pushes much harder, so I get why some might have such a reaction. I don't usually do that, but I haven't ridden on something like the Do-Dodonpa so maybe I would then. Yet I know most people make noises when you experience over 1g of acceleration suddenly. Why is that so weird or obnoxious?

Gotta love Tesla's "groundbreaking engineering solutions" they put a sticker on the control arms to advise wrecker drivers not to hook there. Installing a few "D-rings" or pick up points on the frame would have been the old school way to solve that problem and we can't have that. Also Tesla loves to claim their vehicles have no moving parts besides the motors like they forget about the 637 actuators, pumps, valves louvers and vents for the cooling system.

If you pick any initial build of any car, you'll see that kind of thing... bolts badly torqued, fasteners the wrong way, leaks, even missing stuff. You'd need to spend resources on assembly/disassembly sessions of new products with all people to train them. Corporate middle spheres get a lot of cost-down pressure, so they just have dealers/service centers to deal with defects under warranty work.. the owner doesn't like it? tough. They don't see how BAD a 150k build with defects after a week of ownership really looks like on a 1million+ YT channel.

[@porcelainthunder2213]

@@jpinto3912 not nearly to that extent and that consistent among all the products they make. The QC department needs to be fired. A lot of it is just simple poor design and engineering. There is NO EXCUSE for that crap on a car that costs that much. Its embarrasing.

Can I have Stevon's credit card number too?

[@htmmotoring]

Dude your website name and allá the jokes arround the squarespace ads are on freaking point hahahaha amazing

[@driesdeketele9749]

26:34 sure they did a good job on the interior xd. Nice door alignment

[@jamesbostater79]

Can you open the the cover around the steering column to see if it might be equipped for future retraction.

[@WarpedPerception]

Fastest production car in the world to leave you stranded with 150 miles on the odometer... 😂. It's too bad Tesla could have nailed it with this car.

[@nojokerxd8024]

Deam that’s why you can’t sell cars like smartphones

[@WarpedPerception]

@@IS0T0P3_90 who cares it sucks to drive, I test drove one and I couldn't stop laughing, that Tesla guy asked me what was wrong I told him this car is a f****** joke.. it's fast, but the style is completely dated the interior is literally a joke, it is not a driver's car at all. And to be perfectly honest it's not that much faster than my p85. That wheel is hideous... Lmao

[@PackardKotch]

@@IS0T0P3_90 that’s cool and all but nobody will care if it breaks down after 5 months and has the dreaded crappy panel fitment

[@WarpedPerception]

@@IS0T0P3_90 and their brand new car broke down right after the track, my car has been broken down for 8 weeks, doesn't matter how fast it is or how much it costs, if you can't fix it quickly or figure out the problem it's junk in my opinion.

[@WarpedPerception]

@@PackardKotch exactly my point! , Same issues I have with my tesla, every time I beat on it the car breaks down...

[@ShaneShepherd]

"A great value Sandi Monroe!" hahaha! Awesome!

[@mattb9343]

11:10 "There is literally a possibility your new Tesla can leave an oil stain in your driveway." 😂🤣 The irony.

[@byronpink9061]

Awesome coverage! Your details are on point.

[@goobster6257]

That episode was hilarious and super informative! That's awesome free content

[@V8Matt]

Uncle rich did you have to do daddy Doug dirty like that 😂😂

[@rmp5s]

I've never seen something so clever AND so jank at the same time.

[@roberthawxhurst3717]

Out did Sandy Munro exposing the Plaid's guts...Ubelievable seeing the Plaid totally incapasitated.

[@iAngelG]

Lmao at the Doug mix 🤣

[@berkelyiott]

6:02 Looks like they ran out of material to cover up the wiring for the shocks, that’ll be fun if you live in the Midwest!

[@CheezeCracker]

The wire loom/conduit/Electrical tape generally never reaches all the way to the edge of a deutsch connector

[@Damien.D]

That unprotected 360-turn wiring is complete reckless engineering and assembly. If all that kind of details are made that way, this thing will fail from everywhere pretty quickly.

[@bryanclark7608]

Saw my first one in person and definitely was impressed, looked wider, more stanced out, just very menacing compared to a typical S. Or was it all in my head....

[@NewEnglandModz]

2:34 “and he looks just like me” I lost it

[@applefanboy1770]

What about Doug Demuro

[@omarcisneros]

Wouldn’t be a Rich Rebuild video without the Ring notification going off

[@markkennard861]

Love the Southpatk Ref... " and it's gone "

[@DcMag]

These (not existing) steering column controls and touch buttons are just like the digital cameras from the mid-'90s and early 00. They were like spaceships and came in all shapes, and then slowly came back to a regular DSLR camera just like they were 40 years before... These controls are an experiment and exercise of "what if"...
