The new Model S is the best car I've own. Nothing in the market right now is comparable.
The new BMW m5 or Porsche 992 is better and comparable price.
@@swedish_sadhguru3854 do you own either? How u come to that conclusion
@@Yesuuh
He owns a Toyota Tercel and is just guessing! 😂
@@swedish_sadhguru3854 what makes them better, as in, what metrics make them better? Cost? Running cost? Calming and quiet interior? Optional extras that don’t come as standard? Expensive maintenance schedule? Quicker? Faster? Better tech? OTA updates? Regular oil changes? Better for the environment? Going up in value?. Please enlighten me 🙂
How much do you pay monthly? Do you not have buyer’s remorse
Appreciate the shout out!
Got my 21 MSP Jan 1st 2022. Absolutely love it. 15k miles in, no issues. I’m a huge car guy, so I can’t just give up ICE. I have an 08 C6 Vette to scratch that manual+wonderful sound itch.
But if I had to pick 1 car and 1 only, I’ll always pick the Tesla. All my buddies are broken down for the season with their 800-900hp cars, as expected from abuse. While I’m still non stop launching over and over and 4.xx 60-130 passes all day long.
At this pace, I’m confident I’ll end up getting a new Roadster.
idk man, I drove my neighbors model S and test drove the model 3 performance at Tesla. Yea the power is amazing but I have power and sound from ICE.
@@Mike-dd8bd Did you read his comment at all?
@@Mike-dd8bd There is not 1 single ICE vehicle that has that much power in that price range as reliable as a Tesla
@@Mike-dd8bd You don't have Model S Plaid power. You CAN, but not with a warranty and typically withing 2-3k miles of racing/abuse...you're fixing something. I came from 700hp twin turbo coyote 5.0, Audi RS3, Hellcat, 1100hp Trackhawk, 600hp Supra...it's always something.
So much this! Things are already breaking on my not even 500 HP car can't imagine how much stuff breaks when you get into the 800-1000hp range. So getting a Plaid seems like a great way to have fun yet not have things break all the time. Plus I'll still have two gas-powered cars so ill have some engine noise should I choose.
You have to press the blue “keep” for the suspension to stay at that height until you reach the speed limit for the selected suspension height
Oh really? What a tiny button haha. I’ll have to give that a try
@@RyanShawtech I had the same issue when I first had my X, but then I tried pressing the “keep” and then it only said “until 56 kph” for example, I was surprised at how small the button was lol 😂
@@RyanShawtech yeah he's correct. I own two Xs and they have the same interface. Fun to press while driving. Wait til you find a spot someone else has raised their suspension that makes no sense and you want to tell it not to while trying to drive.
Agree with your assessment of issues. I have the MSLR and it is my 3rd S and the best by far. A number of things I would like to see changed or added that you didn’t mention. 1. The ability to change the instrument cluster display like you could on the older S. 2. It would be better if they could put the blind spot monitor on the Left and right side of the instrument cluster when you activate the turn signal (Don’t know if this is possible). 3. I think cars should have an on star type feature. If you get into an accident you may not be able to grab your phone to call 911. 4. A good birds eye view monitor. 5. A camera or sensor located low on the front grill. I have had a few occasions when pulling into a parking space the sensors can’t see the concrete block which scraped the bottom of my front bumper.
Sorry for the long laundry list but wanted to throw them out there.
The rattle in the backseat, was an easy fix at home. Our back door, we disassembled and removed the cover. A connector which was originally intended for the ambient lighting is flapping around inside the door panel. We taped it down with electrical tape and the rattle was gone.
I have a 2019 MS Performance. Had a similar issue with rattles from the back after 20k miles. Had my wife drive while I got in the back and found the rattle coming from the far right rear even with the seats down. Scheduled service and they heard the rattle on a test drive but couldn't locate it. They kept the car for a week and finally fixed it. The invoice mentioned multiple test drives with a technician in the back. I am totally impressed that they would spend that time and effort to fix a rattle.
I love my plaid. Drag race it on Thursdays and Sundays. I still have not lost a race and after 1 year no maintenance so far.
I had very similar back seat rattle/creaking issues also on my 2022 model S LR. Was able to fix with a regular service appointment, they were able to identify the noise issue before even driving out of the parking lot!
Model S Plaid owner here. I got about 10k miles on mine and can confidently say that this is the best car I've ever owned. Daily driving it every day to work and I still can't get over how insanely fast it is, but yet how comfortable it drives. The biggest flaw is definitely the horn. I've gotten used to the yoke and turn signal buttons but the horn button is just awful. I've been in situations where it can almost be dangerous not being able to quickly and instinctively mash on the horn when needed. Only problems I've had with the car are the fake leather on the yoke peeling, which apparently will be replaced with warranty, and the creeks/rattles. Back seats rattle and can sometimes be heard by person im on the phone with on the car bluetooth. The side mirrors rattle when opening and closing the doors as well. Only maintenance cost was for tires but only because I just upgraded to aftermarket wheels. Stock 19 pirellis had plenty of tread left at 10k miles. Great car and review overall and looking forward to hearing updated reviews with more time/miles.
Great job, Ryan! I really enjoyed this.
I've rented this exact car - it's still by far the best car I've ever experienced. Can't wait for it finally to be released in the UK. Thanks again for putting it on Turo
Absolutely love my 2022 MSLR (Midnight Silver metallic with cream interior). This is my third MS and best by far. Love how efficient it is if you don't drive in Sport or Insane mode.
Bro. Wrap just a little of electric tape around the rear seat lock bar and the noise goes away. Super easy quick fix that has no negative effects.
Somebody tried to tell me that their STI could crush this Tesla off the line😂
You need to click keep to hold it at that suspension level
Thank you for an unbiased, succinct, and informative review!
Thanks, good review.
I have a 2019 MS Performance and I think it’s going to be a future classic, the last one before they got rid of the stalks but with the suspension upgrades and Raven revision.
Nice review!
Small piece of duct tape around the rear seat latches fixes the rattle BTW. 🙌
Occasionally hear same sound on my model 2022 y back seats. Never hear it if seats are down or someone sitting in rear. I’ll try some felt tape etc on latches.
Put Tape on your back seat latch bars-Rattle fixed👍😎
Love my Plaid too! I have the creaky seats and they have ordered me some new latches which they claim will fix the rattles. In the meantime, you can wrap the latches where the seat connects with painters tape and the rattles will go away! Question, have you had too replace the rear tires yet? Seeing lot of reports of wear on the inside of the back tires from other Plaid owners.
One other item that should be added is that the car overview interface should automatically appear whenever the car is put into park.
Right now, you have to swipe that onto the screen every time you want to open the trunk after parking. In the model 3, it’s always on screen.
Ryan, excellent review. My 2021 blue model S long range has 10K mi and I love it. Much older than you, my body can’t handle the G-force of Plaid so LR was sufficient.
My local SC kept the car two days to fix the rear seat rattle and it cost me $78 in rental fees. Sadly, they failed, but TMC forum suggested a quick wrap of Velcro tape on metal latch and that solved it.
I concur with all of your complaints, but why hasn’t NHTSA demanded a recall on the horn? This IS a major safety hazard. The center airbag cover should support a large, easy hit horn button. I am forced to drive with my right thumb resting near the tiny horn button. A few times I’ve “palmed” the entire area to sound horn. I wish the right scroll wheel adjusted AC fan speed as I change that frequently. Taking eyes off road to adjust it on display is a nuisance so voice command is my solution.
While my 2017 blue mS was great, the mS-LR is significantly better.
Good video! Thank you.
The updated charge port for Model S and X makes these 2 vehicles not only compatible for CCS Combo 2 DC Fast Charging stations, but also the V3 Superchargers.
Could you make a video talking about your experience on Turo and the financial details on its viability?
Hello Ryan, they just fixed my rattle in 2022 model S LR, same as you played, it is the left and right hand strikers on rear seats latch, they applied tape and it’s now gone…
Love my Model S Plaid! Driving is sooo much fun. My only complaint is that with 21in wheels the rear quarter panels collect paint clips from debris from the front wheel. Hopefully the Tesla mud flaps I’m ordering stops it, but damage is done. Still a fantastic car
I put the Tesla mudflaps on my Plaid, it makes a difference, worth the money.
Ryan, Had the same rear seat rattle on my MS. I read the solution on a Tesla owners site. Take a piece of Velcro tape (the spongy side), wrap it around the seat locking post. Haven’t had a rattle since I did this. RG
Oh sweet! I have this issue as well. Thanks for the tip!
@@Marc5840 Glad you found this helpful. When you place the Velcro on just place enough to wrap it around the back seat locking posts. If you put too much on the seats won’t lock back in place. Good luck.
Ryan, for ride comfort, would you pay the extra for a Model S LR or would you go Model Y LR and add after market luxury suspension like Unplugged Performance (which i believe you added to your MY)?
The "Keep until " is actually a button (albeit a very, very tiny one). Tap that after changing the suspension height to high or very high and it will stay at that height until you exceed the "limit speed" for the suspension height at which you're set.
And yes, being able to raise and lower the suspension is one of the best features of the Model S/X (vs. 3/Y), although it is maddeningly inaccessible and difficult to use. It's even worse on pre-refresh Model S/X, where it now (with v11 software) takes no less than _SIX_ taps on different, little places on the touchscreen to simply "raise to very high and stay there until I tell you otherwise".
Supposedly the S3XY Buttons folks are working to enable raising the suspension with a button push. As soon as they do, I'm buying (the buttons that is). It is WAY too easy to scratch the nose with the regular suspension height. I have been uncommonly careful over 7,000 miles and still managed to scratch it once on a driveway.
It really ought to be accessible as a voice command...
@@jonathansage2147 Totally agree.
Seat rattle issue can be corrected with a striker adjustment, just take into service to get rectified
I have the same rattle in rear seat. I’m my case it’s where the seat latches. If I unlatch as if I’m folding the seat down, it goes away. Not a perm fix must makes bearable until service.
I also have the same backseat rattle noise since day one of delivery, hope someone can post a DIY fix and I can get rid of it for good without waiting for service.
Can you play lossless with Apple Music, or do you have to got the Tidal route.
How was the battery, specifically the state of charge after so many miles?
What is the longest trip you've taken in the Model S? How long to recharge it when the need arises or were any of your trips long enough to require a recharge mid-trip?
Halfshaft angles are influenced by ride height adjustments so prolonged high setting with cause premature wear on MS. This is why it auto adjusts back to medium. Not sure if Rivian has solved this but I can see them running into a premature halfshaft ware issue like the old model X has.
Do you have a video focusing on accessory on New model s and X?
I agree about the rattle. Had my model 3 for one year and they never been able to fix the rattle and creaking sound.
What is the max range on the plaid with the 19-in wheels?
Suspension/chassis is massive changed for the Plaid
Hey Ryan! Been a while! Going to turn in my 15S and 20Y for a plaid. And I'm blaming you (again) haha. Hope you are well my friend!
I took delivery of my 2021 Model S LR September 2021. It had one defect, which was on the outside of the lower left corner of the yoke it had a light grey scuff mark. As I didn't wish to have the entire yoke replaced I thought I could live with it. However, the scuff got larger and longer with time. Tesla replaced it and I thought I was good. A few weeks later I noticed a NEW scuff mark in the same location. What the hell? In time I discovered the scuff was caused by my shorts lightly brushing against that point of the yoke upon entering and exiting. I've since repositioned the wheel to avoid contact. However, as many people ask how I like and I let them sit in it, they ALWAYS comment on the CHEAPNESS of the yoke covering for a $100k+ car. And I can't really defend how cheap it looks. Currently I'm attempting to find a fix to covering the light grey scuffing so it doesn't look so CHEAP and off putting to those who are interested in buying a Tesla. I'm not willing to pay for a new yoke, so I'm not sure what I'll end up covering it with. Aside from that this is the best car I've EVER owned and I absolutely love the yoke and would never go back to a round steering wheel.
My whole adult life have traded in cars almost every 1-2 years. I’m still driving a 2013 Tesla model S P85+ on the original battery. I think that tells you how amazing this car is I love it more every day and it does not even have sentry mode or autopilot
The backseat rattling is real, and it comes from the metal latches holding the backseat. Little over one month and 3k miles backseat rattling like crazy that I have to play music over it.
Great car! I just hope that Tesla soon adds a 360 camera. Shouldn’t be very hard since they have a ton of cameras surrounding the entire vehicle
What's your average Wh/mile? I've got a Model S LR on order and was surprised to see that the S LR and S Plaid are more efficient than my Model Y Performance! Still trying to justify the extra cost for Plaid. I want it, but I still go back and forth on if it is worth it.
Adding cooled seats and air suspension or softer suspension to the Y I would not think of an S again, but I am still thinking about it in the future.... Does all your band gear fit good in the S? Great Vid! Oh, also can you tell me how much more you feel hot and sweat in your Y compared to your S with the cooled seats? Oh, the rattles would drive me nuts.... maybe I will keep my Bimmer.... lol...
I love your reviews after so many months or years. Do you plan on getting the Model X?
Very pleased to have waited through my college and professional training years while Tesla (still) works out the bugs in its supposed top of the line model.
Can't wait to own an S about 8 years from now, when its not disproportionately less luxurious than its competitors. Seat rattling and loose body plating are significant holdbacks from purchasing right now.
2:21 is that the road to Lytle Creek? I swear I recognize that road…
Tad trivial but the new S is one of the best looking cars on the road today.
Try using some clear silicon grease on the striker of the rear seats… ;)
2:28 - Why is part of the dash being censored?
If it's difficult to hit the horn while the yoke is turned (i.e not in its standard position), how well does it work the activate turn signals when yoke is turned? Or is that not a scenario common in your country? We have a lot of roundabouts in my country and you need to activate turn signal when leaving the roundabout, so yoke will be turned, sometimes upside down, sometimes half way down, etc. and sometimes the roundabouts will have 2 lanes so you can't really look down at the yoke since you need to check your sideview mirror if there is traffic in the outer lane
Thank you!!! I totally agree that in roundabouts, the yoke wouldn't make any sence at all!
I have a deposit for the Roadster. I’m not holding my breath for release but I’m super excited.
buying one soon. arrives sep. 17
I have the same creaks on my model S long range. It’s also from the back seats. My car is only 3 months old. Very annoying
Man, I cant wait til I get my 2022 Model X. It's not a plaid, but its going to be a similar driving experience to this (much slower though, but I'm in no hurry ;) )
You have not had those rims on a plaid, right?
Nothing more beautiful than a 140k car with hubcaps!!!
The yoke is the last tesla cult member test. I guess you passed, I failed.
I think they have a new service center in upland now. might free up some space in walnut and tustin
I have MS Plaid and it has the same noise issues from the rear. For me, I had a broken clip on the driver side trim panel and the side booster was not fully seated. This did resolve some of the noise but I ended up putting a lithium grease on both seat latches and that solved the noise issue. I also have an issue with my dash cap where the driver side corner is starting to wear through… Tesla service was going to replace it but the replacement part had the same issue, so Service told me to wait until there’s a part revision or the corner wears all the way through. I only have 8k miles on mine. I love the range and performance but I wish Tesla had better exterior and interior quality control. And for this level of cost, they should. Really not acceptable.
And on the brake side, I upgraded the lines with brake lines from Unplugged Performance and that made a fairly decent improvement. I’m going to probably upgrade the rotors and pads to Unplugged Performance’s upgrade kit which I’ve heard makes it stop even better and it only costs $1900 versus $20k for the tesla crazy kit.
I had the same issue with the rear seat noise. Wrap some black electrical tape around the rear seat metal hook. Problem solved
You CAN separate rear audio from the front. Not sure why no one sees this option….
if a renter curb rashed your wheel, do you charge them?
Do you charge them when they ding your car?
It's the bestest car EVER!! Not just the bestest car but the bestestestest thing someone can have!! I have one and can't stop LOL-ing at the acceleration! Spaceship!
Will Tesla make a new model s model?
I own Teslas since the beginning. Now I own a Model Y, one Model X Perf. and two Plaids (X and S) ordered and waiting. Because of the waiting times I decided to give the EQS a chance but I was a bit torn on „leaving“ Tesla.
After driving the EQS for a month and now seeing this Plaid review the said truth is even clearer to me: Teslas star is falling. It is sooo much more luxurious and fun to drive the EQS. I would never go back to Tesla now.
The Model Y is still my wife’s fav car and understandably so. But in terms of „flagship“ the Tesla simply messed it up for me with its quality control issues, comfort and 10y old same design.
Either way I am thankful for them for relaunching EVs with success. I would not be able to charge my EQS with the sun if it weren’t for them 🙏🏻
Are you still going to drive the plaid to compare it to the eqs?
@@Draxxuzownzu of course. However in terms of comfort and driving experience there is already a big difference now. Don’t think that Plaid will catch up. Also for sportive driving I have the SF90 Spyder with much more fun features and it’s just 0.01 sec slower on track and even faster on the street. So the acceleration part won’t wow me too much. There is only the good old driving experience left. And there the EQS crushed it.
Also to be honest, the EQS is fast enough too. I found not to be needing much more acceleration than what it has.
@@konstantinkoos Damn bro you got hella cars, I wanna work for you
All I did was just buy Dogecoin… just kidding of course 😊
I might get the PLAID S. You owe me a free ride :)
What's the real world range you are getting on your Tesla Model S long range? Is it close to the 405 EPA rating?
I got my own answer, but it is approximately 360 miles at 90% charge.
"censored"🤣🤣
New Tesla factories are making clean vehicles.
If i had to guess, It came from Fremont.
2:25 What possibly could the speedometer could have said that made him censor it…? Any guesses? I bet it switched to Wumbo👍🏼
The plaid is a completely unnecessary option. The base is the same speed as the Model 3 Performance, which I own and is already stupidly quick for all forms of driving off track.
I’ll consider a Model S or a Lucid when I upgrade next, but currently very tempted by the Air.
Awesome video. Fell all the same. The suspension shortcut can be add to menu like seats and whippers.
Weird no rattles 4 cars / latest performance 3 is flawless-
Was only at 51 mph at 2 sec not the claimed 1.99 to 60
All Tesla vehicles should have powered front trunks, it’s ridiculous how cheap the current designs feel, idc if it raises the price by a grand or 2, the blindspot should also be on the instrument cluster. The only other dealbreaker for me is the stupid horn button. Hopefully build quality has improved since you got the car too.
Not to mention the lack of interior led trim…
I think about putting my S Plaid on Touro all the time, but damn, I can't bring myself to let my baby get abused ;)
But damn sure could use the money! 🤔
Great car !
I would just say that I would go crazy driving a car with a rattle.
If Tesla removes the Key Fob for the Model S and X, my mother can't temporarily access my Model X when she approaches my Model X without first touching the Backup Key Card on the door pillar just below the camera. Fortunately, they kept the Backup Keycards, so my mother can temporarily access my Model X using her Backup Keycard, but it is my complicated than accessing my Model X using Key Fob.
noise isolation is really bad.
Tame Impala !
Spaceballs is not a space opera, it’s a parody of a space opera.
I heard 240,000 in 10 months and I started to wonder
For me the steering wheel is too slow in responding
Thank you ... you can tell me your Telegram page.
you have 24k miles on it already? omg

I hope quality control issues are a non issue by time I get my CyberTruck. I understand da tech is da bread n butter but cmon des cars are Xpensive jokers to b havin issues like dis.
Plaid has faster acceleration than F1 car.
The S is beautifull all other models are dogs just wrong.. squished and stretched versions of the S
wow
Sorry but the removal of the center horn is the most egregious, dangerously misguided design change since the inception of the motor vehicle. As an instinct, people race their body for impact and press on the center of the wheel. I’ve had numerous drivers almost hit me and I couldn’t reach the horn in time, or engage windshield wipers instead. This change will certainly lead to more deaths and more accidents. Shameful of downright evil
Lucid Air is $70k more and not worth it IMO
