After having a little bit of bad luck with Tesla in the past (details in the video) I got to live with a Model S for a week. Charging a Tesla comes with the unique experience of using their Superchargers so I had to visit one of them too!
Would I buy one after my experience? Watch on to find out...

Yes. Believe the hype.
After a little over a month with a Model 3, it's really the sum of all the small things that make it so nice to own. Like not ever having to carry car keys. The way that the music quietens when you open the door, so as not to annoy people. Driving with a single gear. Regenerative braking. Parking and sitting around for a while without having to worry about the 12V battery running low. Getting charging notifications on your phone. Lying in bed and boosting the charge to 90% before a longer journey, sentry mode to catch the idiot who dented your car and didn't leave a note. All of those tiny things, and then the wall of torque, perfect traction, charging at 150kW+ at Ionity. It's a truly great everyday car. Tesla will not be this much better than the competition forever, but right now they're really hard to beat.
Reading that post, most would be quite envious I think!!
@@NobbyOnCars yeah, it's boringly good. The problem with discussing Tesla online is the lunatics. Five minutes reading comments on electrek.co would have you gouging your eyes out.
It's refreshing to hear an actual owner say that :)
Ah look, the fact that people are so passionate about something is good but the locked out issue I mention in the video is a bit mad.
Just can’t justify paying over $130000 for a model s with the same design since 2012 and no ventilated seats or massage seats Like really?
The 2020 Tesla models S and X currently come with free unlimited Supercharging. There is a new SC station with V3 chargers 5.5 freeway miles away so I just charge my new S there instead of at home. Trust me, free ‘fuel’ is nice. With a 391 mile range I charge it up to about 80% or about 312 mile although I charge it when it gets to about 15%.
Thanks for posting!
I was next to one today. It had a unique and sweet color. I am glad I am a Tesla shareholder. 😊
Him driving on the left side of the road had me so scared until I realized I'm American and he's Irish.
Model S looks soo nice
Good review. :)
One day. One day. Hopefully. 😍
You NEEEEED to kill that music. Its murder
Good honest review
Glad you liked it
Good review
Front boot = Fruit.
My questions for owners, and these are legit questions and not snark:
1) Have you had negative experiences with Tesla’s customer service? I have heard numerous horror stories.
2) Has the need to charge the car ever had a negative impact on your schedule?
3) Was your car delivered on time and in good condition?
4) Does the lack of spare tire impact you at all?
Great video! I was on the fence with this car or the a7 2019.Decided to go with the audi as the exterior and interior looked amazing with the new model. i was disappointed that the model s didnt have cooled front seats ,interior ambient lighting or massage seats for a car thats more expensive than my audi
cooled seats, okay. But ambient lighting and for sure massage seats are way overrated.
I didnt ask your opinion you bastard!@@knpstrr
Don't get the storage issue inside - no centre console or door bins, why? And a space for your phone. Mechanically, apart from possible reliability issues, the Tesla is top of the efficiency tree in terms of Kw/mile and so on. The car also looks quite sharp. In the UK the charging infrastructure is the best. I want one!
Bob Rose - There is a center console storage space for drinks (adjustable), another compartment that has two USB ports, one used for wireless phone charging, otherwise you can use both for other things, like a thumb drive for the Sentry mode to record video. Also a cigarette lighter port to use for assorted things. Wireless charging started with the 2020 model for the S.
Tesla’s also charge on non Tesla charging networks. Ireland is small and superchargers are able to get you everywhere on the island.
who said they don't?
@@NobbyOnCars you commented on the small number of superchargers in Ireland at 14:50, I highlighted why that's not an issue. I did thumbs up the video by the way, enjoyed it. We have dozens of superchargers here in Ontario Canada, but we've got a massive number of Tesla's on the road, expect to see more superchargers as the number of owners in Ireland picks up
I just feel we could probably do with one or two more Tesla locations, none of the other chargers in Ireland come close to the speed that the Superchargers can do.
@@NobbyOnCars exactly
Go to tesla dot com/Supercharger and check of the locations of the global Tesla SC network. Over 1800 in the US, dozens in Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Canada, Mexico and moving into the Middle East. Note the grey colored ones are coming in 2020, it’s updated every year for new ones to be put in for the year. Click no the location pin and get info on it.
After watching this I have doubts about the car and I was a fan until now but you have restored faith with you’re final Decision. Maybe I’ll have to test drive it myself to really see if they are worth it. Couldn’t afford it anyways but I can dream 🤣 I’m a pretend millionaire
Model 3 is the better deal IMO
Eric Wall Sell your house and buy Tesla (TSLA) stock. In 5 years you will be a millionaire AND have your own Tesla (or two).
Rent one from Turo.
Charge port at the back, cables at the front. Did I miss something?If you want 12v in the back, (most customers don't), just run an extension lead from the accessory socket.
Or just fit one. If Skoda can manage it, Tesla should too.
Really??!! You Fanbois are just contemptibly pathetic!! You'll say ANYTHING to defend Tesla.....
Run an extension??? Most customers don't want one???
Come ON, you utter fool! You should be embarrassed.......!
Spoken like a true teslaite 😅
I want one. Pity it doesn't have a HUD, coloured mood lighting, matrix LEDs, refreshed rear end and interior.
Sounds like you’re after an Audi
@@NobbyOnCars No, definitely after a Tesla. I'm totally into their good points.
im just wondering what model this was? i bought a s75d and getting no where near that range
Fairly sure it was a long range. Sorry, it’s been a few years!
What's the intro song? It sounds sick
HOW TO HOME CHARGE THE TESLA S
0:50. Much like more time
Damm gotta get a model s lol
I'm really starting to like Tesla's. 🙂
Yeah I believe they’re the future
Front boot....Or a Froot
6:05 the porsche panamera starts at 89k and does 0-60 in 5 seconds 🤔 model S long range plus start at 69,480 0-60 in 3.7 seconds 😅😎 how are they in the same category 😳 if you spend 89k on a model s 0-60 in 2 seconds 🤯🤯🤯🤯 that's almost 3x faster 😄 😀 the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive Price $198,100 MSRP. That's literally 2 model s 🤯🤯🤯 69k is already too much we can't afford 190k nobody can 🤯🤯
It's not all about cost to people with that kind of money though. I know several Panamera owners who have considered an S because it's an expensive sedan with quick performance and is electric obviously.
@@NobbyOnCars it tops out at 200k though can get 3 model 2 that car is a joke. They said for 3 years it would be a Tesla killer and get 300+ of range. The only thing it did was sell about 46 9f them. Two of witch cought on fire and burned too the ground.
@@NobbyOnCars including the garage they where in 🤔
And just one teeny tiny point regarding the torque … for 800.00 usd to replace those rear tires torque away 😂 again most buyers over fifty have more sense as a group 😊
I can just see the poor guy that wins this "Tesla Porsche" showing up at Tesla with a warranty claim.
Lol
Were you going 120?
Kilometers
Most definitely not on the M50 I reckon 130-150kmh
That squeaky window is annoying for that price
you arnt't paying 100k for luxury quality, you are paying that much because no one else has managed to make an electric sedan this powerful for cheaper, if you want this kind of power with the luxury of a Porsche get a Taycan but that will run you around 180,000$ so nearly twice the price.
Panamera isn't twice the price... especially the hybrid!
@@NobbyOnCars what are you talking about Panemera? i said a performance comparable Taycan is nearly twice the price, and why bring up hybrids? they arn't fully electric.
Why would you need a Taycan is my point? A Panamera is the most comparable example on cost here in Ireland. I'm aware of what a hybrid is!
@@NobbyOnCars because its the only car that can match a model S performance and it has better luxury interiors all while being fully electric. electric performance cars are a lot more costly to produce than people realize so other aspects of the car have to be cut back for a reasonable price.
Watch model?
Below par? That's a good thing isn't it? No golfer complains about being under par. Above par is where the problem is.
Isn't this a sterile boring type of acceleration and driving experience? Something more akin to a space ship?
It's different to what most are used to but the power delivery never gets old!
@@NobbyOnCars Thanks for the reply! I would love to try it at one point.
Surely if you are filming ....clean the car lol
No point in Ireland, it''ll only rain again!
Nobby On Cars I meant the inside lol!!!!
Toys for the wealthy as you said.
Umm. Door pockets? That’s what you are shopping for? The Panamera? Let it drive itself.
Must be why they put them in the 3!
Nobby On Cars : You have a point! I guess people must pay way more attention to what their kids will need in the backseat than I do. I think of the backseat as a rolling cage match for children.
I hate the big screen interface. I have to search for what I want to change whereas in BMW I just press the button. When I am driving that split second is a luxury.
It probably is something you can get used to but it's definitely overwhelming and distracting at first.
Belive the hype, buy the stock, get rich, buy a Tesla.
1337 Aqua - Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Worked for me, lol.
too late should have bought the stock in March!
@@Medea007 Still not to late to the party
if you are interested in tesla you would NOT be interested in other EV's as they dont compare period
I'm sure at least some Tesla owners have an open mind...
The stereo sound during the intro is super annoying with headphones
I edited with headphones on and didn't notice it to be honest but feedback appreciated!
@#$%! COMMERCIALS!
sorry about that, you know, wanting to get a few cent for the huge commitment in filming and editing all my own stuff :)
grimes
Enough with fart thang .. fun fact did you know the average age of Tesla owner is 50 plus? I personally no absolutely no one in the age cohort that would find that important :)
My gosh England looks depressing
Ireland.
Nobby On Cars ooh sorry I was just kidding but I’m sure it’s also very pretty
You're everywhere
Not convincing at all.
Get a new CAMERA!
When I'm already using a Sony A7? Nah, you're ok thanks.
Nobby On Cars I believe you, change the settings cuz your video it’s overexposed sometimes.... overall it’s a really informative video...
operating on my own, if the light changes mid filming, not a huge amount I can do about it. I don't think the average person will notice or care but it's usually only in post that I spot it. A camera operator would be the dream!
Pointless vid...its been said already
pointless comment tbf
Here in the U.S., I drove a friends brand new $135k "off the lot" Model S. What a p.o.s. joke!!! Within 6 months he traded it in on a 38ft Class A diesel pusher!! FUNNY!!!
"I'm just coming onto the m50" ... Boyne bridge coming into view.
They need to up their game with the interiors for such an expensive car. Could buy a very nice ICE for under 70k and pay for juice for a long time. EVs are going to take over but only once the big boys start producing.
Another imaginary millionaire.
Don't worry about geography, illustrative purposes only ;)
What "big boys" are producing anything of interest? They are all almost a decade behind and the longer you own a Tesla it keeps widening the gap with constant updates while you sleep. Is there a brand that is even likely to still be in business in 5 years? They do not have the 5-6 years needed to get a serious development program going.
I know the US brands will not be around since they recently cut back on their announced plans, and they are deeply in debt, with declining sales. I have driven the eTron, iPace and a few Leaf and they all seem so uninspired, low tech and sort range, dealership hassles to deal with, lacking updates only done at dealerships, crude 10 years behind tech and polish of the software.
It appears that only Chinese and Korean companies are taking BEV seriously. The features, connectivity, update, full self-driving, long battery life, long-range, and total top to bottom vertical integration meals everything meshes well. All the others simply buy subsystems from other suppliers so nothing is optimized between the rest of the subsystems.
The only Tesla I have not driven is the original Roadster and Model Y. It is supposed to be the best balance between practicality, performance, and cost. Where I am, charging at home is $0.17/kw/hr so it is hard to even think of the higher cost of ownership of old fashion fast depreciating cars. I used to be a car nut and had a large collection of restored Maserati GTs from the 50s-1975, and all told, 64 cars but now only have one mid-engine, Bora Maserati, in storage and have no daily driver because of moving to a country where public transportation is great and cheap. I am very happy without a car right in the heart of a beautiful Eastern European city. But I have ordered a CyberTruck and will look seriously at the Roadster II when it is available.
We've been hearing about the "big boys" coming since 2012. Sort of like waiting for Jesus to return - that one now is 2,000 years and counting. But have faith. Until then we LOVE our Model 3 which will kick any ICE car's butt for over or under $70,000.
Yeah, it's always funny to hear a boomer talk about something they have no clue of.
OEMs are dead, VW will be one of the few to survive but GM and Ford is RIP.
lose the stupid music please
After 4.5 years with a model S and after last May, Tesla with no explanation reduced the range, power and dropped the charging speed to half, I can honestly say that owning a Tesla has been the most horrible car owning experience I ever had in my life
After 7 years our 2013 Tesla Model S has 97% original battery capacity and charges faster than any other premium sedan EV.
Great numbers. My car was also on a similar path with 2% degradation after 95k kms, but after the fires and the famous 2019.16.1.1 update it dropped significantly and the maximum supercharging speed is now 60kw. Doesn't really qualify as a car anymore. We do not use it for long trips. Tesla has done nothing to address our issue and is constantly lying, presenting this as normal degradation. Cannot trust this company to do the right thing anymore.
@@yannismanolias3609 So wait, how long does it take to fully charge now?
They can restrict your power? That’s so weird.
