Why is the Tesla Model S so addictive to drive?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มี.ค. 2019
- Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review a lot of cars. Today I’m driving a 2019 Tesla Model S. This particular car is the P100D, recently renamed the Tesla Model S Performance. Sitting above the Long Range Model S in Tesla’s lineup, the Performance is a grade-A blast of electric car fun.
To be honest, I might’ve gone overboard with all the full-throttle acceleration. But honestly, can you blame me? The Model S Performance can spring from zero to 60 miles per hour in right about 3 seconds. But with the optional Ludicrous Mode the 0-60 time drops to 2.4 seconds, according to Tesla. That’s properly insane but even further off the deep end is Ludicrous Plus Mode. After thoroughly warming the battery Ludicrous Plus improves acceleration even further. I tried it out, safely of course, with my daughter along for the ride.
With all that addictive acceleration talk aside, I assure you I also drove the 2019 Model S like a sane person and thoroughly investigated the interior. Lastly, Tesla ditched their Standard Performance Model S on the same day this video was uploaded. So, the update I included in the video already needs an update. Sorry about that.
And just so the premise is ultra-clear, this is not a comprehensive review but rather a casual look at the 2019 Tesla Model S, while I live my normal life. Simple. Fun!

Alright... having your daughter ride along was ludicrously cute.
Al I want to know did she say “Daddy do it again” at any time?
Tesla is awesome. Your daughter is awesome. You're awesome. Ty for the tour and drive around bud.
@@ibol13l3 There ya go sweetie.
@@ibol13l3 are u mom and son ?
The greatest dad in the entire youtube car scenery!
I want to hate this car but I can't. I want to love this car but I can't. Tesla seems like a beautiful woman who appears flawless at first but over time you just know one day she'll crush your spirit.
@@user-to2rf1rj5v
A full reality shift like in "The Matrix"? Will everything I ever thought I knew in my current reality be ripped asunder until I find myself in a dystopian apocalypse? Will driving a Tesla alter my very cellular existence?

Those Tesla induced orgasms everytime you're behind the wheel must wreak havoc with your monthly dry cleaning bill.
@@user-to2rf1rj5v
Elon Musk would think of that.
J High, Jay Jay, hey guys get a room!! LOL, I’m thinking of trading in my P85D for an inventory Raven. I have to stop for 45 minutes to an hour when I go to the mountains
Not true. Tesla unlike a beautiful woman, gets better with age and the "updates" are free.
I love my Tesla, it is the best car ever made. The fact that this car has haters is mind blowing, what other car company has so many people who dedicate themselves to hating a car the same way as people do about Tesla? Because it forces them to confront something about themselves that they don't want to. Tesla isn't a cult, it's just a good product, and that is including the faults and shortcomings that you will deal with, even with every legitimate criticism of the vehicle, IT STILL is the best car pound for pound, you can spend your money on.
Calling it the best car pound for pound is a bit of an exaggeration. There are plenty of faults with Tesla's vehicles, just like other cars. Whether you like them or not will depend on your desires and needs. They're wonderful cars, but aren't going to appeal to everyone - which, again, is perfectly fine. Making a car that appeals to literally *everyone* means it's *loved* by no one.
I test drove a Model S, but just couldn't get over the lackluster interior. I get that the instant torque of EVs is fun and fascinating (seriously, it's *really* fun to stomp the accelerator), but I didn't find it appealing enough to shell thousands extra out compared to a similarly equipped ICE vehicle. As Micah said in the vehicle, the Model S' interior doesn't really feel as luxurious as that of an Audi/BMW/Mercedes.
Does any of that matter to you? If not, then go ahead! The Model S is a fantastic car, and your money is going towards the technology aspect of the car. For others, perhaps not. None of this is a knock on Tesla, but the whole, "Tesla's cars are the best value out of any car out there!" needs to stop. I hate it when fanboys of other brands pull that nonsense, and I hate it when Tesla's fans do the same.
theconformist, what cheeses me are the trolls who post on Tesla channels, yammering about panel gaps and lack of Nurburgring performance. Wankers, it is the best car ever made, my P85D is the 2nd safest car on the road (1st Model 3), gets free Supercharging for life and 98 MPGe.
Ludicrous mode with daughter was adorable and funny.
Micah - I've found that a cell phone in the same pocket as the key fob will prevent the car from seeing the fob. So if you had a phone in your pocket with your key, that would explain why the handles didn't present when you approached the car.
I can second that Colin, if i have the fob in the same pocket as my cell phone the signal must be blocked and the door handles will not respond. Looks like that was the case as once he removed the fob from his pocket the door handles presented.
Average American distance driven per day is 29.2 miles, charging speed of a model S on 120v 15A outlet is 3 miles per hour. If your home 10 hours a day (most people are) then 10x3=30 miles charge added. Looking at it from empty to full is kind of short sited because you would just leave with 80% every day rather then not charging at all for many days and the trying to go empty to full, it just wouldn't make sense. That being said it would be ideal to have a dryer outlet for the extra ability but most people could still get by without.
The discontinuation of the jump seats was due to heating/cooling issues. Even with the A/C fully blasting, the jump seats stay over 100 degrees because airfllw back there isn't great
Great vid and car! Grew up in LB so it’s always fun to follow the background lol!
The problem experienced with the self presenting door handles could be a couple of things.
(i) the auto presenting can be turned of on the big screen as an option (that is how I configured mine).
(ii) having a mobile phone near the key fob stops the car and fob communication (I keep mine in different shirt pockets to avoid that).
OMG, that Cadillac at 13:37... 😍
Models S is really fast. I love to drive early Sunday morning while most people are still at home.
I have this S P100D and it's an incredible car, my first EV and Tesla, and I LOVE it! Had a newer model E63S AMG prior and this car is better in every way; I thought I would miss the V8 sound and feel but not one bit!
PcarFan16, my P85D and Boxster S share my garage, different horses for courses
I have a Mercedes SUV, a Chevrolet Mallett Corvette Modified , and soon to be 2019 Models S P100D with Ludicrous and full self driving. Love the other cars and has benefits but the Tesla when I test drove it gave me Giggles..... crazy fast! Unbelievable fast. Instant Torque!

Love the chill, yet informative nature of your videos, man! Followed you over on KBB for years. Hope this channel explodes in growth!
Your views and comments will help this channel thrive. So thanks for the support!!
Great Video! Looking forward to see more!!
Yep, over the top cuteness factor. Who can't relate to going fast with dad in the car? Oh, and the Tesla information was ok too.
I know this is an old post. Micah, thank you for your videos because you are so much more entertaining to watch versus TV during this lockdown pandemic. My state partially opened yesterday, yet most of us are still making houses out of Eskimo Pie sticks.
This guy is cool. ❤ all his videos. This car is on my bucket list. Thanks for an another amazing video.
I didn't know you had a personal channel. :D Glad to sub.
Terrific review mate.
Always love your reviews, I’m shocked to find out you left foot 🦶 brake!
Great drive - not really a Tesla convert yet ludicrous mode seems like safe fun to me along with back seat passenger commentary - very cute
I saw U2 playing when you were showing how big the display is 👍🏼 my fave band ever hah long live U2
BTW, I've tested the difference between Ludicrous and Ludicrous Plus mode at the drag strip on the same night, and after multiple runs in both modes, the Plus mode is about 0.2 seconds faster over the quarter mile, so ya, basically the same in every day driving
13:34 even that classic car is keeping up ! lol.
I love your commentary!
Super cute co-presenter! Model S is the perfect car for the perfect people living in Palo Alto and working in Cupertino who drive their Cayenne to their ski chalet in Lake Tahoe. Our role is to express appreciation for their amazing gifts to the world.
Great video! Love it. And your daughter is a great addition! #familytime
Great car and chopper videos Micah--this relaxed format is very refreshing and doesn't feel constrained or scripted. Also, mind telling me which hair product/brands you use for styling? :)
DMC agreed!!! Micah what hair products do you use???
That trees reference point was a perfect one
I'm another follower from KBB when I was researching reviews for my new ride. Really enjoying the new channel! Any long-term reviews in the works?
I've been at that park, I remember it like it was yesterday. I was on a picnic date (2nd date) and I thought we were getting along fine, but she didnt want to continue anymore.
But hey, I love your videos.
Mac Dee Oh gee, sorry to dredge up sad memories. 😬
But thanks for watching!
Your daughter is super sweet. Great video.
School children still walk by my house (in the UK) after owning it 6 months, and say "look a Tesla", how many other cars get that reaction from a kid. So why do we love our imperfect (Tesla car) ? cos we are really kids inside.
Never knew you had your own channel!
The look on your daughter's face when you floor it... you know what this means, don't you. She's dating the boy with the camaro in high school.
nknasi Oh god. I’ve failed as a father. 🤦♂️
Well, at the current rate that Camaro will probably be an EV by the time she starts dating. If Ford is teasing a hybrid or EV mustang in the coming years, than you can bet GM will be forced to do the same.
@@MicahMuzio for what it's worth, he meant "she WILL BE dating the boy with the camaro once she's IN high school".
Saw you first in the Model 3 KellyBlueThing. It was the most agres..."Dynamic" driving footage id seen of the 3 on the street and enjoyed ur warm style, ur "dadness" wasn't too much. (I then sub'd to that channel)
YT suggested this chan which is obvs your own. Much of what i liked in the 3 (and S video) is in this. Have sub'd. You definitely stand out amongst the heap of YT car review chans.
...and as a person who is happily almost 40 and in a r.ship and doesnt want kids, i gotta say, the kid action in this video had me re-thinking my life decisions! a-dor-able!
Maikal _ Thanks for the sub and kind words. They are very much appreciated!!
I think i am more interested in the late 40’s caddy in the background. Ha ha
That little bear is a future driving enthusiast (or already is). I love it.
Great content. You should definitely do a Model 3 review :)
I just bought a used Tesla Model S P85+ and it's amazing
Switches...those power window controls are also the same used in FCA cars. My 2017 Grand Cherokee has the same switch pod. Makes sense because the current design for the Grand Cherokee is a Daimler design.
I like the styling of the s. Wonder when they'll redesign it. You just know a redesign of this will be ridiculous
If you stand within the range of the door handles presenting for too long, it will timeout and retract the handles and lock the car. Could have been what happened at the beginning.
You didn't go into Ludicrous+ because you only had 92miles left.
He also had range mode on.
Your a very good dad
"Around the world, a-round the world" because of course lol!!
13:37 Micah! Can’t believe you missed that car rolling by in the background!
I was genuinely surprised to see it in the footage. Sweet ride.
You need to review the new model s, I heard the improvements are quite significant.
Best video ever
Very nice and cute video. I wish I could afford a tesla as well. Would buy the 3 right away :)
Fun dad! Wonderful lucky girl.
I remember learning how to drive and my Dad was adamant about only using the right foot for the accelerator and brake pedal. In an emergency braking moment, like when someone pulls out in front of you and you have a fraction of a second to hit the brakes, if you're using your left foot for the brake you could accidentally press both and slam into the car instead of stopping had you just used your right foot only. I am very surprised you drive that way. The left foot is only for the clutch pedal.
I'm sure your dad was well-intentioned but he wasn't quite right about left-foot braking. As with anything, there are ways to do it incorrectly but the best drivers in the world (rally, F1, Trophy Truck) use their left foot to brake. It's a common and useful racing technique that has direct applications when driving on public streets.
For example, in the scenario you described (car pulls out in front while driving) wouldn't it be faster to press the brake with your left foot which is already hovering over the brake pedal versus moving your right foot from the accelerator? In street driving my left foot isn't sitting on the dead pedal, it's ready to press the brake pedal...without actually resting on the brake pedal of course.
If you're curious why braking with the left foot is the preferred method for professional drivers check out this video from one of my trips to rally school. th-cam.com/video/ZbZaFp_NIPs/w-d-xo.html
Or better yet, watch Rally icon Colin McRae explain the wisdom of left-foot braking. th-cam.com/video/D1_u3-eyXmU/w-d-xo.html
With my model S I've noticed when the battery gets low in the key fob the hands don't active as quick or at all, so I'm guessing he's batter in the key fob was low. I've had to replace mine every 8-9 months.
having the key FOB next to credit cards or cell phones interfere with the signals so you will notice a lag.
I order model S 2 weeks ago and trade-in my 2019 Lexus LS500 Fsport, After watching your video I wonder that I should cancel my order. LOL
Bro the main reason why I don't like EV's is that there is not much driver involvement needed to drive them. Driving a plain old manual transmission is million times more fun than a modern EV.
Micah was the reason KBB was my favorite automotive channel, and now he's doing his own thing! Aww yiss! Question for ya, getting your hands on a 2019 Rav 4 Hybrid soon. I know I want a Rav 4 just gotta see if its gonna be the gas AWD or the Hybrid.
I haven't driven the RAV4 Hybrid yet. But as soon as I can get one I'll shoot a video.
Cheers!
I was interested in the new RAV4 as well until I drove the gas one and heard that engine! Waiting on the hybrid now!
@@treads2595 Yeah ive seen plenty of video's and have heard the roughness of the engine. I have 3 toyotas at the house so im used to it, but I was hoping the new dynamic force motor would be a bit more refined. Im gonna go A/T tires anyways so maybe that'll offset the noise from the engine hahaha.
Ronnie Trinidad Good luck!
I remember that Tesla drive to Vegas; you had a flat on the way that cut into your filming time.
Eric Hampton Oh, man. That Vegas video was doomed from the start. This video was much more fun to make.
how were the rear seats?
are they good for a long drive?
Howdy, you’re awesome!😸
YO!!!
Is it sad that I’m more impressed that you were listening to Tarzan Boy by Baltimora and quoted Around the World by Daft Punk than the Tesla?
Kyle Hunt I noticed Tarzan Boy, too. Awesome. Next time: Weird Al.
15:27 The new Honda Accord is the only other car that will tell you how close you are from another car
Ludicrous ain't impressing her. My daughter says "daddy, you are going too fast!"
Hey Micah, a heads up in case you might not have known: it is now recommended that children stay rear facing as long as possible (which is usually approximately 4 years old). I don’t intend to be a ‘backseat parent’ here, but I figured I would flag this in case it happens to keep your little one safer.

...and in the upcoming amazing future...we will all be driving these high-tech cars while facing backwards...
13:37 omg 😮❤
What's the 0-60 time when in not Ludicrous? I thought it was just as fast without, but with no launch control
Build quality is still quirky.
What's that thing at 13:37?
I think it is either a Cadillac or a Chevy around the 40's or 50's maybe.
tavarian you’re right. 50s Cadillac.
Cool thanks. What I really like is seeing people drive those old classic cars even though I know it's dangerous for them to be on the road with all the other crazy drivers it's still nice to see them in their normal habitat and not being wasted sitting in the garage. Just my own thoughts on seeing beautiful classic cars on the road.

The handles presented probably because you pressed the key. Auto presenting is configurable on that very large screen :)
It seems the max battery power is 47xr kw fit p100D should be 500+ or maybe you didn’t floor it?
Micah, have you always braked with your left foot since you began driving?
Trevor Fronce Nope. I decided to learn in my late 20s, just in case I ever had the chance to do some rally driving. Eventually I did. 🙂
I'm the 10th like and i have a question , can you instal a tesla supercharger at home ?
Level 2 chargers are readily available for home installation, and Tesla sells its own brand for about $500. Some choose to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet, which is similar to a clothes dryer or stove outlet. Both of those options give a full charge in 8+ hours or so, which is perfect for overnight charging, when electricity billing rates are cheapest. As for an actual level 3 "supercharger," it is apparently possible to have one installed for home or business use, but there are three main problems; the cost ($100,000+), the power grid / wiring requirements, and the accelerated degradation of the lithium ion batteries from frequent DC fast charging. Level 2 at home charging with occasional level 3 supercharging , for long trips, seems to be what works best, and is cheapest.
@@jazminethomas3619 ok thank you for taking the time to give me this long and very informative answer 🙂
I used to be a big Tesla & Elon fan and I recently let that go after Elon bought Twitter but anyway, I never knew you were a Helicopter pilot and soon to be a Fixed wing pilot possibly. I personally like Planes more than Helicopter but I recently flew and rode in an R44 Raven II and it was really fun don't get me wrong but im gonna stick with Planes.
Wish Tesla would make the interior more luxurious and comfortable.
Also - why do you have your regen-braking set to "low" such that you have to hit the brake and "gas" at the same time? Why not just set it to "normal" and then lifting your right foot will start you decelerating, smoother than you can do manually.
Colin Fox I don’t know, man. I’m awfully smooth. 😉
Honestly, I’ve tried one-pedal driving plenty of times and always prefer using the brake to decelerate. It’s a muscle memory thing, likely carried over from my experiences driving on track.
That said, one day when I finally buy a Tesla I’ll train myself to love maximum regen. Promise!
Micah Muzio it’s an incredibly stupid, unsafe, and energy inefficient habit. And you’re an automotive journalist? It’d be like Gordon Ramsey insisting, on camera to both use a microwave and putting metal pots into it.
If it was really about being smooth, you’d turn on full regen and learn to SLOWLY and subtly let up on the accerator (with your RIGHT foot) before finally releasing and waiting till about 4mph to apply the brake WITH YOUR RIGHT FOOT.
Sack up and change that habit.
Bryan Baker I’ll happily concede that utilizing maximum regen is the most efficient approach when driving an electric car. But describing left-foot braking as “stupid and unsafe” is just plain ignorant.
There is a reason why rally schools grille this technique into its students (and I’ve been to quite a few). Transitioning one’s foot from the accelerator to the brake and back sacrifices valuable time and yes, smoothness.
Is left-foot braking a critical technique that every driver needs to use? Nope. Nor does every home cook making meatloaf need to express Ramsey-esque perfection.
But if you want to drive fast and safely on loose or slippery surfaces, professionals will insist you use both feet. Granted that’s a comparatively rare use case for most drivers but it’s a skill I choose to keep fresh in my daily life.
Guess which of my feet is pressing the brake pedal while drifting this Mercedes-AMG E 63 S? th-cam.com/video/rjtr8iUq9vU/w-d-xo.html
Micah Muzio hmmm. I’m sure we can agree that even awesome people (you) and their awesome videos (yours) can still be flawed. But I do stand by my criticism-yes, two footed driving is unsafe, in part because in an emergency situation under duress you’re much more likely to make a mistake, and much more likely to stop less quickly.
What am I missing? Wherein lies my ignorance? And Tesla’s?
Thanks for replying, and I do enjoy your work.
Bryan Baker First, I love that we can have a civil discussion without reverting the typical internet flame war. 🧡
Second, I don’t think we’re far apart in our positions. The missing piece is an understanding of the left-foot technique, which is understandable given how few people use it.
You’re absolutely right that if someone with no experience tries to left-foot brake in an emergency, bad things will happen. Like any technique it requires practice to develop proper muscle memory.
With that in mind, when driving in traffic I typically cover the brake pedal with my left foot. Without actually pressing it of course, I don’t want to confuse drivers behind me or needlessly wear/heat the brakes.
In an emergency there’s no transition time moving my right foot from pedal to pedal. My left foot immediately presses the brake pedal shortening braking distances when every foot counts.
I would never suggest every driver needs to left-foot brake but for those who want to drive quickly on ice or dirt its incredibly helpful. Shorter stopping distances in on-street emergency situations is a happy side benefit.
Thanks for hearing me out. Cheers!
Probably a low take rate on those jumpers, if I ever buy an S which admittedly seems unlikely, it would've been an option I would get.
Did you not one-pedal drive it? Didn't look like you ever used regen braking
signdetres I did try the heavier regen setting but prefer the control of using the brake pedal to slow.
@@MicahMuzio This is one of the only Model S reviews worth watching. You rock, but you already knew that ;)
Also - why do people keep saying this isn't a luxury car? Because it doesn't have diamond stitching on the seats? Who gives a f*** about that? It has the most amazing drive system, motors, infotainment system, design efficiency and beauty out there. Sure it doesn't have "pick your colour" interior lighting or perfume sprayers, but it has dog mode, ludicrous mode and autopilot. For every feature you can list on another "luxury" car, I can list a feature that the Tesla has which your "luxury" car doesn't.
I own a 2013 Model S P85+, and I've owned Mercedes, BMW & Land Rover in the past. I would never buy any of those again - they were very expensive money pits, and no more luxurious than my S. In fact they were less, because the leather quality in them was much lower than in my Tesla.
The only *real* example of a "luxury complaint" that Micah presented was the scraping of the console lid on the side material. That's a legitimate complaint. The ONLY legitimate complaint so far, since it's the only one actually specified.
Agree
I believe it is not a luxury car as there is no "oil smell" to it. Elon should tone down the acceleration of the engine, delay instant torque, and add an "oil perfume function" and a large speaker to put oily noise. This will allow the model S to compete hand in hand with the oil ICE cars
Want a custom color? Get a wrap.
It is called a Micah Line. Will push update asap.
Evan Adams 😁
Looks like your part is RFID protected.
Instead of Tesla's mission statement about accelerating the world's transition to renewable blah, blah, blah, I like Mica's more succint statement. "The future hauls ass". Tesla - the others not so much.
Call me old fashioned but I prefer buttons and knobs.
You're not alone. Touch screen controls are not ergonomic or intuitive. They can functional, but that doesn't mean they're superior to physical controls - particularly when you need to do adjust something without looking at it.
Plenty of people complained about Honda getting rid of a volume knob and physical AC controls, despite the touchscreen controls working fine. Why? Because they're not intuitive to use without looking at them. So Honda reversed course and put the physical controls back. Likewise here.
@@theconformist2399 well, im not going to worry too much about it. your generation will die sooner, and after you are fully wiped out, it will be the generation of touch screens. There is a reason there is no knobs and less buttons on modern phones. More importantly, All being on touch screen means more functionality, buttons, and changes/fixes can be done through time. And even more importantly, cars should be simple and clean.
Although this car seems good, from the perspective of someone from Malaysia, this is definitely not a luxury sedan. The problem with this car, is that it is waaay behind ICE cars that we have in Malaysia. My suggestion to tesla is that, they should add a large speaker outside that blasts engine sound, they should add an "oil perfume" that gives an oily smell around and inside the vehicle, they should reduce instant torque, they should use cheaper parts so that the car have 60%-70% less life expectancy and faster end of life, they should reduce the resale value of the car by 30%, they should reduce the speed limit of the engine, they should randomly add holes in a car where you need to put in oil often, they should make sure the parts break down more often, and most importantly, they should create a smoke generator at the back of the car that creates smoke at the back and polute the environment. If elon can do this, Model S will be able to compete hand-in-hand with the luxury market.
Ha! Maju dan makmor indeed.
Is model S 2019 reliable in 2023?
If you put the car key in your pocket next to your phone, it blocks the signal and the door does not open

You should have added a clip after your added clip to mention that Tesla got scared and bumped prices back up
Is it more addictive than sour cream Pringles? I think not.
Tires ?
I really like Tesla and the tech they employ, but not being able to get into your car when you need to because it hasn't decided to activate the door handles is a pretty significant fail. Hey, why is that person walking around his Tesla in the pouring rain, looking confused and getting thoroughly soaked? Has he lost something? Why doesn't he just get into his car? Oh, it's because his car hasn't decided to recognize his presence yet and activate the door handles.
Meadmaker 452 I’m glad you commented. It lets me offer some clarification.
Tesla reached out to me and explained that if the key is within proximity of the vehicle for 1 minute after the door handles present themselves they will automatically retract. At that point gently pressing the retracted handle will cause them to extend.
I’m guessing an owner would get used to this but as a reviewer it was not intuitive behavior.
@@MicahMuzio - Ahhhh, I see. Interesting. I agree with you that it's not particularly intuitive, but at least there's a solution. Nice that they got in touch with you to clarify it, and thank you for your clarification, too!
It would perhaps be better/more intuitive to keep the handles in the open position as long as the key is in proximity and still outside the car, but who am I to say given these things are pretty much permanently outside of my price range.
If I win the lottery, I shall make a formal suggestion to Mr. Musk.
Thanks again!
Meadmaker 452 I hope you win the lottery, man! I hear Musk takes requests.
What song was at the start
If you’re talking about the very first song that plays, it’s mine.

bro... next time you want to turn on the dome light, just push on the dome LED light.
My understanding is that with a charged battery, it's even more ludicrous.
How come your daughter didn't get screen credit? She helped make the video, she should get credit. Driving assistant, maybe?
You remind me of Ant Man lmao
Is this Micah's personal car?
Paul Woo No. Just another press car. 🙂
