BTW, your links #1 and #2 are NG
I think paint protection like a ceramic coating is important. I've seen new teslas w bugs spalttered and paint chips on the front fascia. Immediately drops the wow value and premium look
Excellent video as usual Ryan! I enjoyed your first Plaid overview but hearing your in-depth thoughts after driving was awesome. I've had my January order Plaid for a couple weeks now and love it like crazy. I guess I'm lucky as I received a really clean example with no build issues that I've heard from folks on forums, other videos, etc. I have noticed some head-scratching software "bugs" that I hope are addressed soon, but nothing serious. I hope you can get yours soon, I use mine as a family car and it's great at that job! 😀👍🏻
Tom thanks to ur videos I turbo my Miata na like urs back in the day thx for some amazing video
I’ve heard Elon say that it takes a few months or so into the manufacturing of a model for them to dial in the quality and probably should buy these.
@@zgdafzgdaf4264 if Elon has actually said that I’d like to know if he managed it with a straight face!!?? For it to take a company a few months into the manufacturing process to “dial in” the quality and build issues on a $130,000 car is totally unacceptable!!!! They should be ready when they first come off the line
As a long time Model S owner, I have watched every review of the refreshed Model S by professionals and owners alike. This video now sets the bar on what I consider the best review to date of the refresh. The only component I would enjoyed getting your thoughts on was the sound system. Regardless, well done!
@@thelastninja4825 What's crappy about it?

"Almost as fast as a nevera"
Okayyy my dudr knows his shit
Nevara is a four wheel motor the plaid is three if Tesla goes four wheel its gonna beat the nevara.
@@oxide9717 no it wont tho... The nevera is a lot lighter and a sports car the model S just isnt. Maybe the roadster will tho
@@oxide9717 not sure it’s as simple as that and it’s all hypothetical anyways. But yeah, can’t wait for Tesla to get their production volume of the Y, CT & Semi in order so they can THEN start focusing on their 🍒 on top 🧁 (that being the Roadster)
@@pieterdannaux8754 yeah but look at the price difference.
@@pieterdannaux8754 I think it would be a lot easier for tesla to make a car that would beat the nevera on every spec than people appreciate. It's just not their ethos. They're going for mass maket.
I’m sure that someone will come up with a clip on accessory to make it a full steering wheel w/ buttons for steering options
Sad to need an option like that on an expensive vehicle.
@@rgeraldalexander4278 I mean well you win some you loose some ☯️. A small trade-off for all that performance, range & tech!! But I also see where you are coming from.
@@possibilityspace by clip on I meant the mounting mechanism. But then okay, whoever's making it here's your spec sheet item!!😅
It's called a suicide wheel
@@jasons7044 unless you are using autopilot 😬 But 'suicide wheel' a bit too extreme?😅

7:09 Grandpa wasn't sure if he was dead or still alive haha
"The only difference is that your launches will be about 1.1 seconds slower. Awww man."
I think this is the first time I've ever seen you make a funny.
That's why I couldn't justify the premium for a Plaid and went for a Long Range. I do prefer the carbon fiber, but not for $50,000. They made the Long Range too good of a value, and I'm sure there are a lot of people like me that just don't care about acceleration or top speed as much.
he did a funny and I've liked the video on that alone
How has the Plaid been out for 2 months? What the heck have I've been doing?
I love the concept of the yoke, but would really like to keep the stalks.
Indicating in a roundabout will be impossible with the wheel being upside down.
...and a centrally located horn.
@@Lundmark54 Exactly!
@@rgeraldalexander4278 🎯
The only use for the stalk is for the horn. I don't understand why it was moved to the centre of the wheel where you need to take your hand off the wheel to use it. Worst UI. My ideal would be a pressure gauge within the wheel, so squeezing or pulling back hard on it activates the horn.
Buttons on the wheel for indicators has always been the obvious choice for me, can't understand why it wasn't done a long time ago. Somebody wondered a while ago what when the wheel is upside down? So I tried turning the volume up via my wheel each time I wanted to come off the roundabout as an experiment. Actually pretty easy to get used to. Easier than having to take my hand off the wheel and try and find the stalk each time I want to indicate.
I would like rid of all the stalks. Including for changing gear. The European method of having the shifter in the centre console is safer and more intuitive (forward for forward, backwards for backwards).
Phillip.
3:50 Jessica 's reaction is so fun!!🤣🤣
GREAT!! I did a test drive yesterday with my wife and she had to get out because of nausea. It feels like a speeding ticket waiting to happen… But I love it! It’s awesome
Thanks for the video Ryan. Gave me great insight. Is it possible for future videos you can have the segments so we can skip to certain sections of the video? That'd help out heaps.
I really appreciate this video, thank you, great coverage of many items and expectations. I was most curious about acclimating to the yoke steering wheel and am mostly relieved learning your experience. I believe I will find it accommodating in many ways but particularly in one I will have to adjust: Though I habitually hold a wheel at the 8 and 4 positions on straights/slight turns/curves, I “crab” the wheel to avoid arm(s) “crossing over center” on sharp turns/u-turns. “Crabbing” may be a bit tricky with a yoke. I’m averse to crossing forearm over center because I routinely envision the various outcomes if one were to wreck at the worst possible moment with the airbag deploying when a forearm is between face and the wheel: Dislocated shoulder, broken arm, arm impacting face, etc, from airbag deploy, not to mention how the airbag cover/trademark (emblem - usually rigid chromed plastic or metal) may injure the skin of a forearm? I can’t shake it. On another point you mentioned how passively resting one’s thumbs upon the L & R control surfaces can cause accidental engagement of a command. An inner thumb grip pattern also tends to cause the heel of one’s hand(s) to migrate over/rest on the wheel surface instead of being a bit off to the side. Again, out of habit and envisioned outcomes (here I go again), I routinely rest my thumbs on the outer circumference of the wheel as I’ve seen X-rays of broken thumbs, wrists, radii/ulnar bone(s) as a result of thumbs curled within the inner circumference of steering wheels. If not a severe enough frontal impact causing injury as a thumb/wrist (or two) is forced out of grip to migrate around to the side of the wheel, an even lighter side impact causing the wheel to spin inside one’s grip with a wheel spoke may snag an unsuspecting thumb and flex/break it in a most unintended way.
Ryan, your face on every “launch” is worth the price of admission!!! 😁😂
Excellent review. I like honest reviews listing pros and cons and you do that well
Great seeing you enjoying yourself! great video!
You seldom see so many people expressing pure joy in a car! 😍👍🏼
Fun, helpful video. As usual. Can you do a video on phantom breaking? It’s a major issue.
You totally just drove by the San Marino fire station that I work at! Love your videos! Keep them comin!
Your reverse on the three point turn did not include checking side-to-side for traffic and looking over your shoulders, is the backup cam that good?
Yup I saw one with rear brake light with condensation inside
"I get it. It's gonna be fast." Reaction, priceless... 😂🤣🤣
Ryan, this was my a FAVORITE episode ever!!!;)
7:11 I literally laughed out loud. That's hilarious! 🤣
Can you say something about the volume when driving? Is it much quieter than the previous Model S? ANC is not activated so far?! Love your videos!
hand on right side for horn is a function you need to turn on in the system
i like this type of video MUCH more then some of the other ones
Ryan, your expressions with each launch are as funny as any of your passengers.
Does the wireless phone charger work? I have a relatively standard iPhone XS and without my silicon case it won't charge reliably in my new M3. It moves across the charging pad and can't stay charging over longer periods. Also it's restarting charging all the time which makes the iPhones display light up.
Great job Ryan. Lov the reactions. Why can't voice commands become the dominant system to controls? It keeps your eyes on the road and off the screen. And AI would learn your dominant patterns and help anticipate conditions and needs
Like your review. It is always honest and unbiased.
Was that Rich? Haha. Awesome video man.
Thanks! For me it’s your best video! At least with lots of action and variation…
can suspension be adjusted with voice commands?
Great presentation and informative 😎
Good report ,Thanks.
0:59 is the door trim almost 1 cm out of alignment?
The mix of leather, fabric, shiny alu, boat style wood and plastic is a bit much for me on the inside door.
It is a bit funny that the outside shiny things have been toned down, but the inside has been toned up instead.
I would need a foil kit or something for the fake wood trim, I am really not a fan and there is no choice it looks like.
Is the "Door open" lit up but the window controls are not?
I am missing the ability to move hand positions on the yoke, looks like there is only really one position available.
Uuhh... Thats bad. You're right
I have a Model S LR on order, hopefully will be delivered by December, I'd like to see some reviews of that now that it's out, all you see are Plaid reviews.
Need help with model 3. How can I keep the car ON (screen and AC) when I step away from the car, while the kids are in rear seats. I had to go back to my house to pick up something we forgot, I left my phone inside the car thinking it will keep the car on. I found out that wasn't the case. Screen and AC turned off as soon as I closed my door. Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
@Ryan Shaw: Why does it have wood trim if it is the Plaid?
How awkward is the yoke in a roundabout where you have to use the blinkers while the yoke is turned? (or do you not have to do that in the US?)
Roundabouts are very rare in the US
Roundabouts are not a thing in the US nor Canada as far as I'm aware.
@@erica.5620 I live in Austin, TX and have seen a few in my lifetime. Most in big parking lots
They should be able to add a blinker on the screen as well. Maybe that would work better on a roundabout, allthough that is also a moment where you need to look at surroundings.
Btw. not sure if it really is that hard on a roundabout, since when you want to go off,.. at the moment you need to activate your blinker the wheel is pretty much levelled straight.
Man I can't wait to get myself one of these!
7:57 Louis Cole, yeh man, you have a great musical taste 👏👏
Ryan, I just received my model S refresh 5 days ago here in San Diego. I love it, but I too, realized that doors need to be closed with some force to actually close. That is the only real issue I have with the car. I will put in a service request at some point, but I’m enjoying the car so much that I’m gonna deal with it for awhile. Note: I originally ordered the LR w/19” wheels, but change to 21” after my sales rep told me that Model S’ w/19” will not be delivered until Dec at the earliest.
12:07 it is actually more faster when you turn the car with the yoke than the steering wheel. Personal i love it!
My favorite character development arc is Ryan going from a Yoke hater/non-believer to a lover/fanboy. You love to see it!
Perfect video! According to what i was tought while obtaining a driver's license (24 years ago) the way you are now suppose to hold your hands on a Yoke steering is the safest for driving (both hands on a wheel, in diagonale parallel to the ground). Since it is an only way to steer Model S now i bet it meant to safe driving as well, but I have never seen it as an explanation for Yoke. Like your channel, greetings from Russia, Alexander
"Fun fun fun", to quote Joan Armatrading. Great video, thanks
Your friend with the beard and white shirt was amazing, he almost looked offended at the start of launch, like he didn’t believe reality lol epic vids as always
how long can i drive it at 100mph before the battery needs charge?
The owner's manual does in fact say that you can place your hand on the right side of the yoke to activate the horn. Works for me when more than one button is being touched.
I can see an aftermarket part to make the yolk into a wheel for those not liking it.
The yoke used properly will protect the hands and arms from becoming airbag projectiles. The turning radius looks sharp enough. I agree, I would become used to this in about a week and proficient shortly thereafter.
But I'm keeping my 3's steering wheel vintage. I want my '18 BLACK 3 LR/RWD FSD 20K VIN to remain just as it is, except perhaps any further hardware updates that are needed.
First time on this channel, this was really great review. I'm from Eu, I had some car from "Citroen" brand, it had horn positioned on lever with blinkers. After driving that car, my usage of horn went down to like about 20% of previous usage. It was unpractical, so I used it only in emergency situation, but after that car, I guess people think I'm much less nervous driver :)
The horn on the stalk was great! I could have both hands on the wheel whilst emergency braking and still honk at will. Or in extreme cases where too much braking would lock up the brakes, control the wheel with one hand, shift down through the gears with the other, and still use the rear two fingers to beep.
I'm not convinced the horn in the middle of the wheel is the best solution. Even without the argument that is where the airbag is, and if it deploys will do unimaginable things to your wrist.
I think there is still a better solution than both that nobody has done yet.
Phillip.
Shoutout to You & Wife/Family.❤️
its rare to see the driver being constantly blown away by the launch! epic!
i normally hold the bottom left or right of the steering wheel, so i feel like it wouldnt be much of a change for me. although i dont like the touch buttons, and those seem like they would be way to easy to hit. should switch to actual buttons and voice command.
I never use blinkers so the buttons are not a problem for me
They should move the touch buttons to the opposite side of the scroll wheel button. That would prevent accidental touch. And they could also engrave a box around them so they’re easier to find by feel.
Thank you so much for a good review Ryan. I have a Model X LR on order, will be a long time till I get it. My biggest worry was the Yoke which after this is no issue for me. Also on the build quality, I would just not accept it at delivery. Tesla has always been this way so I don't see this changing but most of the panel gaps I can live with, just not paint issues on a 100k car. Love the plaid but given I have a very fast SUV now, I care more about range. I rarely use full acceleration as its just too jarring, though maybe I getting old.
I want one Ryan...sod the paintwork! ;)
You need to come over here to germany to really test the plaid 😉
Aye, and then bring her over to Scotland for a proper plaid experience.
Ryan when you order the new plaid model s do you think you might consider the white interior.
Yeah. I'm 100% getting white! It's so nice. Although I will say it's VERY bright without tinted windows. I think the best combo is white with tinted windows
@@RyanShawtech very very true I would suggest going 20% on the four windows doors and may be 30% on the front window shield.
@@RyanShawtech With carbon fibre interior too?
Are you guys seriously fine with those QC issues mentioned? And at that price?
Here’s that video. Finally. Hope you take it out to El Mirage once you get yours :)
Great episode
Had mine for a two months. It doesn’t feel poorly made like others have noted. The steering does wake about 25 miles to get used to. I did do a full of and blacked out everything that was chrome or gray. Storage is great but the software definitely needs fixes. I.e getting to the eq. Getting to sentry videos. And others are not in any menu sets. I’d like to be able to use AirPods in the car for back seat users, and am waiting for black badges and screen protectors. Overall very happy with the car.
Fantastic Quality Vid
The yoke itself is okay, but the horn needs to be in the middle + I prefer physical buttons on the yoke (might make too many accidental touches otherwise)
Thank you
Most off these launches made me think of a Homer Simpson Episode: "Whohoww, look at the blubber go ..." Tnx for the detailled review though !!!
Another great video.
Do you think Tesla will soon come up with a version of the Model S with 2480 batteries?
Great launch videos but looks like you’re getting to 60 in residential areas? Safety?
Agreed. Incredibly irresponsible.
Your dad is hilarious lol 😂
I like these kind of vids! Your other "news" vids to me look always the same and sometimes you can replace one vid with one from to weeks ago and I bet you would not notice a difference.
Where did you rent it?
That guy at 5:20 sounds like he's never been in a modern car 😂
So this isn't something many can relate to, but with the new steering wheel I am wondering how driving it would be being that I'm paralyzed and circular wheels are easier for me to drive with since I can only use one hand to turn with. Overall though I know a tesla is my next car.
The last thing I find off is that your friend at 5 mins never knew that cars had cooled seats or that launch control was Tesla only when launch control has been around for a very long time on cars.
The new Model S Plaid has a longer wheelbase in the rear? What does that mean? I did not think the wheelbase was increased.
You're right actually. Wider body and wider rear tires
I saw three of the model s plaid on street now but now there two brand new model x plaid is for sale they go for 170k right now
How much was the rental fee?
Fun fact, the Detroit Electric (early 1900s EV) did not have a steering wheel. Or accelerator pedal. Instead it has two big tiller bars you use for steering and speed selection (5 speeds).
Thank you so much for this review!
That was fun!
Regarding thumb position, did Tesla not do usability studies or just not care?
The yoke makes me think of Knight Rider
Nice video quality
LOL your Dad when he said he was gonna check his life insurance
update, we love your show & spacex. we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both
Okay, go to 7:44 and look at how fast they accelerate from the black car in the back window. Jeez
Was this all being done in a neighborhood?
gotta cover the top three with your thumb. i believe it's in the manual.
The guy at 7:39 as a Sir Elton John thing going.
Woah! Is that Jacob Mann? I love his music!
It is!
Best of Bill Withers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
After reading quiet a few reviews I noticed that no
One said anything about your choice of locations to do your test runs.
For instance, here in the UK there are various speed limits depending on the area such as in a built up area it's 30mph
Suburban areas are between 40mph and 50mph and on open highways the speed limit is up to 60mph. Only on Motorways is the maximum speed limit which is 70mph.
What were the speed limits where you did your accelerations?
The aww man *eyeroll* fckin ended me 😂😂😂
That is Awesome
