Matt is like a big kid in a big toybox of cars. Literally, my reaction when I drove an 85D and that was insane I can only imagine what a 100D feels like. Love the channel.
In terms of pure acceleration to 100mph, this car and the Model 3 Performance basically put every other 4-wheeled vehicle on the road out to pasture. While being 4-door sedans and carrying 4-6 people! Total game-changers. I wish I had the $ to buy one. But for pure enjoyment and involvement in the driving process, I'll still hang on to my gas-burning 2000 Honda Interceptor VRR800Fi. For now.
Was just checkin to see if you had ever tested the Plaid... all I could find was this...Amazed that with all the cars you have tested, the plaid slipped under ur radar!
Glad you mentioned the stereo. I had a BMW M3 convertible that BMW touted as the highest powered system they'd ever made. While I thought it sounded good at the time, the Tesla just blows it away. Supposedly a group of key employees from a few high end audio companies came to meet Elon Musk and help design the system for the Teslas. Its amazing what they delivered without any "badge" attached to it.
Weird, I drive a BMW X3 with a Harman Kardon sound system (which sounds amazing) and I took a Model S for a testdrive, of course I checked the soundsystem and that was not blowing me away, in fact it does not sound good at all ... the sound was very metal! Did I drove with a faulty one?
@@philipclaeys6920 Hey Philip, I also own an F25 X35i! The X3 premium sound is very good but not nearly what the Model 3 has. I assumed the Model S was the same, maybe I'm wrong? The Model 3 sound is beyond any German luxury brand I've heard yet though.
My friend has the Model S with Ludicrous+ I think. When he was showing off the acceleration, I honestly wanted it to stop, it was too much for my stomach. I don't have much good to say about this company but the car is fast. Thanks Matt, your personality makes this channel great.
Love the first reaction to the acceleration! Priceless. I wonder though, could your opinion about the stereo be improved by the quieter cabin typical in electric cars? So a perfectly "adequate" sound system becomes a "great" one? 😁
It's mind blowing and definitely takes some getting used to with daily driving. I drove a friend's dual motor Model 3, not even performance, and it was crazy just how quick the throttle response is only at 4 sec 0-60
Tesla exhaust note Noice ! Man it is so fast and no one would argue that point at all. Otherwise its a pedestrian kitchen appliance lacking any personality. Perfect for Silicon Valley Lemmings with faces firmly planted in their iPhone's.
I agree. Mechanical typewriters had such a nice, satisfying sound to them when you typed. A marvel of engineering. Stupid touchscreens are for the weak
@@nsbioy Yup making that connection between typewriters and a car's exhaust note pretty much solidified my argument. Go grab me a terabyte of data you muppet.
I kind of agree that Teslas are one trick ponies with that 0 to 60 stuff. I urge them to continue to develop their cars as they are quite rough and don't yet compare to the fit and finish of German cars.
Just watched the Throttle House review of the Lambo Huracan Evo spyder and watching their outro then it came straight here. I'm just not ready to let go of ICEs probably will look at EVs around 2030.
I think these cars are great. But I passed on one recently because of the range. While in everyday driving it would probably be fine it would create too much anxiety for me on long trips. For this type of car I would need two cars - this one and a long trip car. In addition - while everyone loves them when they review them - long term folks keep reporting quality issues. So for me it is not ready yet for prime time.
Zoya Spencer It’s not just because of that. Revving out a naturally aspirated engine that keeps making power the higher you rev makes for a rewarding driving experience that encourages you to beat on it. That, along with the soundtrack that comes with it, equals FUN. Electric motors fall off as RPMs rise, though there is no denying how effective they are.
Not supposed to charge over 90%, not supposed to go under 20%, lots of rules. I'll be dead by the time this is a "thing", good luck to the rest of you👴
People may call this a 1/4 mile, 1 trick pony, but the performance is insane. I’d love to own it and put all the M’s, AMG’s, and Hellcats to shame (through the 1/4 mile)
Bob The Agreed. That’s my biggest knock against Tesla. I guess they could pipe in fake noise, but that would be lame and prob sound terrible. It sucks, but I guess that’s the future of an ICE-less vehicle future. I also wish they had visible exhausts. I know they’re not needed but it would be a nice cosmetic upgrade.
I definitely prefer the Model S to the 3, which looks cheap, in my opinion. I couldn't see myself owning any other Tesla model, to be honest. The S is the most practical and the most attractive of the lineup. It is ridiculous that there are no cup holders in the back seat tho. This car is WAY too expensive to let that slip by.
You are being a bit disingenuous when you say the Caddy SuperCruise works better when in fact the Caddy system is LIMITED to basically the pre-mapped US freeway system. With Tesla you can FSD now pretty much anywhere with supervision. There's a Dirty Tesla video show a Tesla driving on a gravel road in the woods on FSD. Caddy is nowhere near that kind of autonomy.
Matt, nice video but I am going to critique today. If you're going to review, KNOW YOUR CAR. In the back seat just below the USB, push in the flat area and out comes two cup holders! I have them on my 75D so I'm sure it's in yours. Also, any review should start with a clean car. Dirty cars show poorly on video. Again, love the video, just some suggestions!
15:08 what you all came for
"Let's turn onto this backroad here..."

I've been waiting for you to review this car for 3 years and now I can see your awesome reaction
Indeed at 15:15 :)
I've been waiting since i first heard about this car
Same. That reaction was worth the wait.
The most underrated car reviewer on TH-cam! You deserve way more subscribers! Keep up the great work Matt!
Thanks Fraz!
Matt - the cup holders for the back seat are behind a panel under the rear usb ports in the center armrest for the front seat.
Ah okay, thanks for the correction!
@15:14 the look on his face is priceless🤣👍
Thank you good sir
There are cup holders in the back. Pop out from centre console near USB ports.
It's been a long time coming for this review Matt. However, it was definitely worth the wait!! Thanks for another great review, cheers
I didn't want to wait dis long though
I just don't know if you can recreate that GT350R reaction.... 🥰 That one was E P I C
And the Corvette

I’d love to review one, but Tesla almost never does press cars, so I have to wait until an owner offers one.
Your cup holders are below the rear USB charge ports press that bottom piece, it will slide out and there your cup holders are
Matt, another excellent and enthusiastic report on a super cool car. I love just how subtle the Model S is, just clean and pretty timeless.
Excellent in depth review, one of my favorites yet!
Same
Picked up a pre-owned S 85 a month ago and did a 4000mi roadtrip. These cars are surreal. I'll never buy another gasoline vehicle.
I've been excited for this review since you announced it a couple months ago!
Same
This dude loves life.
0:50 what is up with that panel gap where the fender, bumper, hood and light lineup?
that tesla build quality for yah
Great review...but maybe have someone clean the car before getting closeups on all the dirty control stalks!!
Great review Matt! Keep up the good work. 🙂
Course he'll keep it up
@@BobThe9534 Hello Mr. The. I've seen you comment on most of his videos. The encouragement is always nice to see. 🙂

@@aussie2uGA than there must have been a broken sound system in the Tesla car (Model S) I used for a testdrive, because that sounds was horrible!

Thanks Mark!
I still have yet to ride in a Tesla. I even wanna see how immediate the acceleration is in this Tesla you reviewed in this video
Come on, you didn’t even try navigate on autopilot? That’s the best part of highway driving! It’s awesome!
But driving urself is more safe
Bob The not really, people can be really dumb sometimes
@Matt Maran Motoring the model s and model x plaids are super fast
Great video! Your reaction just made me want to get one of these bad boys one day
Hi Matt. Nice vid. Liked b4 watching since i knew it was going to b good
I call shenanigans that you saved your first real acceleration through 36 hours of driving for this video, I'd have a hard time making it 3 minutes.
Haha well I kinda misspoke, it was 36 hours with the car in my possession, only had about 10 hours of drive time before this review.
@@MattMaranMotoring No worries my friend, I forgive you this time. Drive safe.
Would love to see you test the plaid. 😬
Love the first reaction to the acceleration! Priceless.

True true
This has to be the ultimate sleeper car if all time hands down
Not really a sleeper now everyone I know knows how quick these things are off the line
diy guy ... only car people. The average person just sees Teslas as fancy electric vehicles.
Everyone knows it is fast now
Dose this have a CD player to and can u use internet on the center screen? Seen it had Netflix and Hulu u can only watch when not driving?
It's mind blowing and definitely takes some getting used to with daily driving. I drove a friend's dual motor Model 3, not even performance, and it was crazy just how quick the throttle response is only at 4 sec 0-60
Yep, many passengers actually complain it's "too fast" as their vision gets distorted if they aren't prepared.
There are cup holders in the back. They are hiding in the center console! Just push the tray and they pop out!
There are cup holders in the back seat. They are beneath the USB ports
Review a 2020 Corvette C8
He already has
Actually there are cupholders in the back it pops out from below the AC vent
Waiting for an exhaust vid ... 😄... Love the acceleration. But I legit NEED To hear it. 🤷🏾♂️
The sheer fear in his eyes when he accelerates is the reason I want one of these to scare as many people as posible

I love Matt!!!

You have range mode on ..

I love how the owner got the Elon University special license plate and then got it personalized "Musk".
Great acceleration!!

Not ready for prime time? They have well exceeded prime time because they are literally everywhere on the road.
Sweet! I have been looking forward to this review since I saw the car in November 😄! I was thinking of renting it since it wasn't to far from me.
U shall buy 1
While I think the torque punch of electric cars is addicting, there's something to be said about revving a naturally aspirated high-revving motor.
Zoya Spencer It’s not just because of that. Revving out a naturally aspirated engine that keeps making power the higher you rev makes for a rewarding driving experience that encourages you to beat on it. That, along with the soundtrack that comes with it, equals FUN. Electric motors fall off as RPMs rise, though there is no denying how effective they are.
Emilbus engine sounds just annoy me to be honest, too loud, they make them sound really loud even though they are the slowest things ever
pause at 15:15
Under the rear USBs there is a portion that you can push and rear cup holders come out. Just an FYI
Maybe tht version didn't have it
Amazimg review men
Appreciate this matt, love my 23 y p, I think Elon want our hands on the wheel ocationally.
No more music intros? :o
Still love your videos though :)
just that screen would drain the battery ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WOWZERS!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:)

Yep!
What's with that left fender?
Somebody go tell Elon we want our fast EV's to have butt coolers and massagers too

I'm part of the unpopular opinion that the S looks better than the 3. Interior and exterior.
No noise or drama when you launch? Meh.

Please make more Reaction videos MATT! :D
I did a compilation when I hit 400k subscribers and nobody watched it lol.
The Tesla roadster is the fastest car ever made. 0-60 in 1.9 seconds!
It's not a production car yet.
