Dude…. I was thinking the same thing right as u said it…like hmmm i wonder if u cud swap out…” then u said it…its super tempting to find out. I bet u the way tesla is that you could but they would never sell u the software to make the motor swap work

thanks for sharing the process! awesome job!!

I enjoyed this video

I feel bad for anyone watching this as they will burn thru some expensive DIY kits. This guy obviously has some experience working with film and an Olfa blade and to say otherwise would be disingenuous. Two things you should never do: Cut your own hair or tint your own car. It'll look good from far but it'll be far from good.

This is really silly.

The older Tesla is way better. The no gear buttons and small turn signal buttons are deterring me to buy a newer model S

Looks like the screen interface is design from model 3/y and bought it over straight without fitting into the larger screen on s/x😅

If you do not mind, can you share which brand of tint you installed?

After watching this I can definitely understand how Angela Chao could have shot backwards into that pond thinking she shifted into drive while still being in reverse.

You can't shift without looking at the screen. With traditional shift stick, I can shift from D to R without looking in 1 second, which is very useful in emergency situation. Angela Chao Died because of shifting error in Model X.

great video well done

Do you sell these tail lights housings???

Ive never seen a plaid interior without the carbon fiber...enjoy looks beautiful

Thank you for being one of the only sources in the ENTIRE INTERNET of a non plaid model S in a 1/4 mile.

We rented a Model S Plaid for my birthday. I liked the gearshift, and I found it rather easy to adapt to and to use. the only complaint I had was the sensitivity of the buttons on the steering wheel, as when I'd turn the wheel, my wrist would brush again the button and I'd end up honking the horn a lot, lol, but honestly, I really liked the Model S and comfort and steering.

0-60 is similar between these cars. There's a huge difference in highway acceleration after 60 however. 60-130 for the Tesla S LR is in the upper 7 sec 60-130 for the Tesla M3P is 13sec

Just tested a new S. I cannot easily see everything on the screen, and my finger does not always have any immediate effect on the screen. I worry about not always being able to operate the car at will. Driving home in my normal car, I could control anything without looking down. I think the whole Tesla operating system is brilliant, yet silly and dangerous at the same time.

That’s the best delivery experience ever 😅

Please stop double bulbing. Go to first wait a second for other then go to second.

Dumbest test video. Stopped it

Why don’t you place your phone on the wireless charging pad? It’s in your cup holder lol.

Is the ride bumpy when your folks are sitting in the back seat , Hows the road noise in certain road contditions ?

Note, while the M3P and LR Model S have the same 0-60, the LR S has a faster 60-130mph due to more HP.

When we got a dvd system put in our truck we had a security feature that said we couldn't watch movies while driving. So looking at this Tesla I'm like WTF. Look at that big ass screen, it's kind of hard not to look at it while driving. Isn't that basically watching a movie while driving

So sick how fast this thing is. Always boggles my mind how people think this car is "OK" fast. This is a sedan with a damn HATCH BACK for Christ sake!!. In Tesla's base line up this isnt even the "fast" one. And yet you are forced to race it against cars that have an entire marketing theme to be High performance fast , muscle cars, sports cars, real bad a$$ MFers AND this clears the quarter mile consistently under 11 and sometimes under 10.9. This is basically neck and neck or even beating cars like the Nissan GT-R, C7 Corvette Z06, Camaro ZL1, BMW M5, and the list goes on. In some cases now in late 2023 the model S even COSTS less than these cars. The mere fact that this "Tesla 4 door hatchback sedan with a TON of cargo space and modern/future, upgrade-able technology is being put against V8s, Turbos, Superchargers, Supercharged V8 str8 up Built to be sports cars, High performance sports sedans and Bad ass muscle cars makes it an amazing piece of machinery. You HAVE to put it against "bad ass" cars...you have no choice! Because if you put it against the cars its truly aimed at taking market share from in the luxury car segment, it would be put against the Lexus LS500, the BMW 7 , The Mercedes S , Audi A8, etc...AND IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY MAKE THEM SEEM LIKE THEY WERE IN SLOW MOTION..or even parked in any race. The actual performance version of this car (Plaid) is meant to be in the HIgh performance sedan realm (Against S class AMG, BMW M, Audi RS but you cant race it against any of them ...because they would all get their asses immediately handed to them, so NOW you have to race ACTUAL Super cars from Bugatti, Porcshe, Suped up M5 competition, Lambo Huracan, etc All these car companies should be ashamed!! and shame on anyone else for not seeing this for what it truly is, No other car is judged like this in its segment - If a Mercedes S S63 AMG lost a race to a McLaren 720S No one would blink ...WHY???? because its not supposed to be racing that type of car, apples/oranges. But the PLAID not only still races it...it Freakin BEATs it!! - While being cheaper , not using any gas, No oil, etc aaaaaand you can go to HomeDepot after whoopin that McLaren and put 8 foot 2x4 wood beams in the back of it on your way home. What the hell is anyone gonna do when Tesla finally says "OK, you wanna race??!?!....Here is our actual high performance sports car...the new Roadster" Which will more than likely just go in to the future , it will be going so damn fast. Internal Combustion is dying people!! just let it happen....Electric cars are just gettin started , Soon only physics will stop them from going faster and not leaving the ground to take flight.

The plad is now 86k. 😮

Well this video shows us what the new Highland model 3 and Juniper model Y will have in 2024 when there are no stalks. The special control buttons you show on the center panel under the chargers shown for the Model S - they say will be up where the hazard lights are in the 2024 Tesla's.

This looks so much more difficult to drive than the car I have.

3:55 is the reason why I don't know why Tesla kept reinventing the wheel. It's good for many decades then why changed it for something like that's not fully functional.

This poor man’s arms turned into a pretzel trying to steer that thing!😂😂 1:03

Mine is a plaid and 2014 p85, day and night difference, but still love the p85 since it’s one of the first 10 Tesla in China

I have the 2023 Long Range S and it really gets its legs at 60, pulls so much harder than a M3P after 60. The LR S will pull 10.9 1/4 mi pretty consistently.

Getting one in 3 days. Thanks man!

What is the song at the first part

I'm super-late to the party but are those oil filters?... as in normal-looking oil filters you'd see on an ICE car.

Made something simple more complicated.

You have to admit, you're pretty terrible at R/T's. Don't quit your day job.

The rear seat air conditioning really should be independently controlled from the rear screen. Kind of silly that it's not, especially on such an expensive car. It's a relatively easy fix that could be done by an OTA update. In addition, the rear should also have ventilated seats. No excuse on a $100k car.

The autopilot doesn't maintain cruise when you signal and change lanes, but in my wife's MYP it does. Weird eh.

The model S is quicker after 60 because the carbon sleeved plaid motors have a different, longer power curve than the induction motors of the model 3.

The model S long range is as quick as a model 3 performance, they are both rated at a 3.1 second 0-60. That’s very impressive.

Yoke wheel is terrible. You have to use 2 hands to hold it all the time. If you drive longer than 20 minutes, your hands get tired fast. You can't use one hand.

Better but man that is not a 90K interior. Being a tech guy I get how nice the tech is. I just did a test of the Model 3 and it only took me 5 minutes and I was like.....hard no. Still it looks nice just not for the price.

It would be even easier if you just used one hand & palm the yoke to make sharp and U turns instead of that hand over hand nonsense, no one I know drives like that. If you had a round wheel you would use one or both hands to turn then let the wheel slide through you hand(s) but since your using a yoke make it easier for yourself and stop contorting your arms to make those turns.

Well for use wannabees and people with less than Prime rib money the model s puts some healthy numbers down enough to embarrass most high end motor cars and still be a daily driver with enough seats to hold a embarrassing number of family members in the car. The plaid is super cool but I would be put in jail within the first week of ownership. It does not stick out like a Porsche or Lamborghini but with people trashing some of the supercars now by standing on them to take photos when the owners are away. I think this is the perfect fit into a regular person.

Erik: As a Roadster owner (No. 766), I really appreciate your investment of time and effort to create and post this and other highly informative videos on the model. But I implore you to buy a car lift before your next major Roadster project. I’ve done unwise things myself with floor jacks over the years; so I understand the impulse to take incrementally greater safety risks in the process of iterative problem solving when trying to complete a project. Sometimes it’s best to just take a break and assess the stakes with a clear head. All that being said, for a home-garage mechanic, you did very fine work.

The X LR is spec'd to go 11.2 in 1/4 mile with a 0-60 in 3.8s, the S LR can only do 10.8 in 1/4 with a 3.1 in 0-60. That doesn't make sense. The S LR should be able to do AT LEAST 0.7s better than 11.2 in 1/4 according to the 0-60s. This means the S LR is DEFINITELY nerfed by Tesla. With the better aero and lower weight, it SHOULD do around 10.2-10.3s in 1/4 mile. I hope Tesla releases an acceleration boost for the S LR.

I wish everybody could actually enjoy these things rather than just rich ass people

Great work, I'm going to attempt this on my own headlights which are similarly shaped.

Very good and clear explanations! Thank you for posting.
