Here's Why I Hate the Tesla Plaid! It’s Completely Unfair!

- I give you my thoughts on the Tesla Model S Plaid and tell you just what it takes to compete with one. This is the world's quickest car yet it is completely docile in traffic, it doesn't spin, it doesn't care about temperature, and it will do it all on normal street tires. It redefines everything we know about the performance capabilities of modern passenger cars.

Your right , it has totally wrecked the performance car world… I mean, people used to pay stupid money for exotic supercars because they were sooo fast. Because nothing else could deliver that level of performance for the money. Now the model s plaid comes along and decimates basically EVERYTHING, regardless of price… It’s ridiculous!
Have to say if auto world really goes 💯% electric. I'm definitely going for Tesla plaid
whats even crazier is the 3 row family suv model x plaid is just as ridiculous. imagine pulling up to a soccer mom in a plaid x in your super or hyper car and knowing it could decimate you...
Well, put a powerful electric motor or 2 or 3 or 4 and all wheel drive and no doubt you will have something that is very torquey and powerful. This can be done on many cars, not just the Plaid.
Give it some time and you will see more competition and hopefully dethrone Tesla and make the Plaid just another forgettable name. Tesla does not make reliable vehicles. Their repair services suck.
Just try and get a repair
@@jaybird1153 How would you know? Ive have 3 Model S (P8D, P100D and Plaid) and I can tell you've never owned one. The Model S is the most reliable vehicle Ive ever owned.
This is all very true and no exaggerated. The Regular Plaid 0-60 at 3.1 sec made me feel nauseous at the top of my stomach it was so fast and pressed into that area real hard
I am fortunate that ive had my plaid since the end of October. My two favorite times of the day are my drive to work and my drive back. Incredible machine.
I’m sure lol
@@daisychain2428 Really, I see TESLA owners as intelligent, caring, futuristic, forward thinking individuals and NOT the homophobic, self-centered uncultured self-hater that can't stand the world changing around them because they lack the mental capacity and maturity to adjust.
@@daisychain2428 bruh another hater😆 just do some research before you decide to comment
legend :)
@@cesarlaws then you would be wrong.
As a guy that grew up in the 70s and 80s I'm amazed at how fast everything is these days .
2022.....ev....
After tuning absolute monsters for over 20 yrs, I sold my insane gt500, the slick rack, trailer, and various tools after ONE test drive in a Plaid. Credit where credit is due, the car fukn flipped my brain upside down and gotta admit I am a convert.
After the sale of my shop kits, had enough to get my wife a model Y (replaced her mazda). This car needs a brake upgrade at high speeds, but when my carb-C brakes arrive, problem solved. Normal day to day AND tracks this machine is an ABSOLUTE WEAPON. Mad props to Tesla. I'm convinced
Had a 4 hour headache when I test drove my P85D back in 2015. Second time I test drove it, a 30 minute headache. Then I took delivery and within a few days was acclimated and no more headaches. Upgrade to Ludicrous 7 months later but no headache. Then I picked up my X Plaid last week and floored it on the freeway from 60 mph. Headache for an hour. It pulls harder from 60 than my P85DL did from a stop.
Crazy stuff
And that 7 year old car is still faster than about any ICE car currently
Same here, got my P85DL in 2014, then upgraded to Plus few months later. Still run as good as the day I bought it. Just recently picked up a MXP, the amount of technologies packed in the MXP made my P85DL feels like a T-Rex.
I almost never comment on video's but I have to tell you that everything you said about the Plaid is 💯 % spot on! I was lucky enough to be taken for a ride in one and it was INSANE! I've been in 800hp cars that just seem slow compared to the Plaid! They are seriously almost other worldly! I love combustion engines obviously but you can't deny the fact that they're dinosaurs technology wise compared to these new electric car possibilities!
I agree.. still love m muscle cars but it’s like comparing apples to oranges 🍊
If combustion engines are dinosaurs them Ig everything is basically dinosaurs lol
@@RacerX9
Actually, Brooks of Dragtimes did 9.3s @ 151mph in the 765LT with the regular tires...not even trofeo R.
@@jackcable1028 he’s saying because EV’s will unfortunately be the future it makes gas cars look like they’re dinosaurs in comparison when you look at the tech and speed of the plaid. Hence why it’s a bs unfair vehicle. I see so many where I’m at and they drive so crappy. Every single chance they will guaranteed floor it to about 10 over the speed limit. Reminds me of Hellcat drivers
My grandkids are growing up where loud cars are slow and quite ones are fast.
As a Plaid owner as well, you are spot on. My previous car has 300hp and that was the fastest car I've owned before the Plaid. And it was very intimidating at first. Since getting used to it I just love the car.
My son has a 2020 Model 3. When I ride in it and he punches it, the feeling of instant acceleration is overwhelming. He has beat the time that Tesla says it will go (0-60 in 3.1 sec.) he has done 0-60 in 3.0 sec. His Tesla also does not quit pulling until it hits its top speed of 145MPH. Electric cars ARE the future.
I’m very happy I stumbled on your channel. After personally making the switch to electric for my daily driver I’ve actually found that it’s made my passion for internal combustion cars grow even more. I now have an appreciation for different types of cars, different genres and because I don’t have to spend my money for gas on my daily commuter, I appreciate my gas stuff so much more. I will always have an ev to get to and from work but I will always have a fun combustion car and am looking forward to having more experiences with other types of engines as well. I may even have to bite the bullet and see what rotaries are all about lol. Again great video and you’ve earned a new subscriber.
This is the best real raw muscle car perspective review on this car. I just tell everyone this: Fast is very different now.
Excellent video, RX! 🙏🏾💪🏾
As a plaid owner, I love this car. Quiet, quick, safe, fun, beautiful, enough storage, easy to charge at home and road trip. It gets a lot of attention on the street and parking lot too. Feel lucky to be able to drive and own this car.
how is the roof top's temperature on a hot day?
@@johntran551 The roof glass is tinted and the second row passenger window with rear window are tinted as well from the factory. When it’s getting really hot outside, the cabin will be hot too. However there is a cabin temperature control will be turned on when it’s too hot in the cabin and you can control the temperature from your Tesla app as well.
I’m guessing you haven’t lost no races😅
@@blitz5.0 lol that’s true 😂 but I know some modified cars are quicker than the plaid, I just haven’t raced them yet unfortunately
you've echoed everything I have been saying to my friends. I have a 2022 plaid. the fastest car I have owned before this was a 2016 M6 hellcat. the plaid is the only car I can say that it has unusable power on the street. you come up so fast on traffic and other people have no clue you're moving that fast.
most people have an idea of how fast they can react to oncoming traffic, this completely negates that thought. it truly is unusable. I love it, but it really is dangerous. I keep it in sport mode most of the time cause my mind can deal with that speed. it really is incredible.
I love a big supercharged V8, I'll always love dodge for what they did with the horsepower wars, but this tesla is my forever car, yes there will be faster cars but for the street it really is unusable. did I mention it uses no gas?
Enjoy your long road trips.....😡
@@unclefester4626 don't be so sad Fester. MKHB did a video on EV road trips. Think it might have ben 25% longer? Enjoy what you have fester. Life is too short to care if I'm enjoying myself, or if I take long road trips.
Glad you enjoy it. I’ll like tesla more is musk can simply stfu but that’s a different story lol
I'll be honest, I'd have one of these along with my mustang if I could afford it!😬
you can buy a 2012 model S for $35k.
@@markplott4820 I want the plaid.🤣 I think my 2018 mustang can outrun the 2012.
I'm kinda waiting to see what dodge and ford will offer in these coming years.
@@Watchingthings45 - Closest is MACH-e GT and Dodge has NOTHING until 2026 earliest .
Stellantis is killing the Hemi & Hellcat 2023.
there may be a EV Challener/Charger in 2023 maybe .
but even MACH-e GT can only Accelerate for 5 seconds before slowing down, even with Warm up.
PLAID has Two inline Radiators to dump heat.
Brilliant commentary, thanks. I run Pippi Plaidstocking at Willow Springs on drag night. These things are completely insane. And an enormous amount of fun. At the moment I'm in Northern Cali visiting family. Not only do they go like hell, but you can entertain folks with fart sounds and a really cool light show. I'm subscribing.
Good Vlog Racer X,
Constant instant horsepower that a gas-powered car cannot compete. Unless it's a pure race car. WOW!
You forgot to tell everyone the best part about the Plaid. My cost to drive my Plaid everyday for a month is only about $22-$28. I charge at home for a few hours every 2 or 3 nights. I drive the same mileage that was taking 2 tanks of gas a month in my Nissan Maxima. That's a savings of about $100 a month. A lot more fun and cost effective than a Nissan. Also, no motor oil to change.
I love the narrative of daily cost is less… but what about upfront cost? You’d have to keep that plaid for 67 years, 5 months and 2 days (probably more actually) to make up the actual difference of $140k for the plaid vs $35k-$40k for a fully decked maxima…
I’ll stick with my “affordable” scat pack that would take me 20 years in gas and cost of car to match just the price of the plaid… and people just don’t keep cars that long.
Shit I am 2 months in on a Model 3 performance and I am having a ball with that. The low cost to run it is awesome. I set it on 100 mph daily.😊
I love my Plaid. I ran 9.3 @153 the other day at the track which was my fastest mph, but I also ran 9.3 @149. They removed the Plaid wording for the Plaid graphic when they did their minor refresh earlier this year as well as change the charging port door, rear tail lights, and matrix LED headlights that detect on coming traffic and dim part of the beam as to not blind the on coming driver. The new Plaid badge is in my sig.
No one cares about a 5000 lb boat that can’t turn or brake without breaking down. Do you feel guilty about driving a coal powered car, or do you deny it with a pompous ego?

Awesome video man. You made some solid points. Crazy cars
Loved your two u tube shorts !!!
The fact that the Plaid is so understated is a great feature…the vibe exudes being quiet but deadly. No need for bright colors and goofy accents to try and look tough…
I would love to drive one once or twice but I couldnt imagine spending $130k on something like that. Give me a "slow" ICE car that's $40-50k less like a Super Stock or a GT500 😉
I already own a 20’ GT500 and getting a Plaid soon to upgrade our family car. I’m keeping the Shelby and it will be interesting to see which one I end up driving more.
super stock or gt500 are not 50000dollars

TESLA model 3 PERFORMANCE .
RacerX You're right - i am seeing Model S Plaids pop up. It is indeed scary fast, and I swear, there will be alot more accidents if people are not careful. :)
So when are you buying this Plaid.....would be a great twin to your TT S550 Coyote!!! This may take your channel to another level!!!
Keep up the great content! I have an S550 Whipple stage 2, and I love all of your content, you cover so much!
I do like "sleeper" cars but honestly they should make the plaid's styling more aggressive and unique.
If I had a Tesla plaid I’d wrap it in plaid lol
the Stock PLAID is pretty awesome , but I recomend taking it to a TUNER like Unplugged Performance if you want RACE car or VIP car transformation.
Exactly it's a great car but designs aren't winning me over. Even though telsa beats Mopar and mustang on races shown by TH-cam
car looks so boring idc how fast it is
@@markplott4820 nonsense!!!! What can’t tesla make it themselves in house!? Porsche and other performance manufacturers have very special cars/editions that automatically gain in value after their sale. A limited production with different parts/customization….
I rode in a Tesla 3 Performance and it ruined my view on gas cars forever!! upvoted!!!!!
Great video 🙌 Tesla built land rockets 🚀 insane !! .. off topic also which brake pads do you recommend for my scatpack boss X 😵💫😵💫
Awesome content buddy 👍 Happy Easter 🐇
You too buddy
It’s kind of weird. The car looks so plain yet it has all this power. Excellent video as always X. Till the next video speed racer 👉

@@markplott4820 i hope they put 3000hp on the next model s.
@@dremusic210 - even with QUAD motors , model S wont be more than 2000 hp.
Plaid baby!
4680 Roadster = ⚡⚡🔥🔥
The writing was on the wall for hot rods when I saw that P85D run consistant 10s 1/4 mile times. Then their Model 3 Performance was clicking off low 11second times while being somewhat affordable and being a TRUE daily driver that doubles as an economy car!
Is the muffler delete ok for my Hellcat? The Corsa exhaust I want is on back order for 2 or more months. What are your thoughts?? Just spent 3k for PPF and coating, ready for parts now...
Was the Plaid named after the top speed of the Spaceballs ship in the Spaceballs movie?
Yes!! Lol. It was Ludicrous mode, now Plaid.
i got embarrassed by a plaid in my zl1. i knew it was coming lol.
Anytime I see a Telsa I slow down in my lane hoping it's not a plaid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
At least you took the lose with pride.
My question has always been, how long do the tires last? All the starting and stopping fast.
Dude, you should get one of these!
Excellent video about this amazing mutant of an automobile. Many hate Tesla but this car must be respected.
The Plaids RULE the streets around here (NorCal). To beat one I figure you'd need to be able to run deep into the 8 second range to compensate for the traction you won't have on the street. There just aren't many cars that run low 9s at the track with VHT and burnouts that can get the same traction on a grooved greasy street. The guys in exotics around here avoid lining up next to Plaids at stoplights like the plague.
It doesn’t change the fact that they’re for the elderly, gay or nerdy.
And allot of those 8 second cars either aren't street legal or are barely street legal
daisychain imagine caring that much about what car someone else chooses to buy. What can’t fossil heads just be gentlemen about that fact that EVs are here to stay? If it doesn’t affect you, who cares?
@@daisychain2428 just because you are elderly, gay and nerdy, doesnt mean you cannot upgrade to a Plaid.
@@nordic5490 no, it means you’re likely to downgrade to one.
Fantastic review. You are very articulate.
The 'Plaid Headache'. First I've heard of it. Hahaha! Awesome! Great video!
Don't forget the Plaid has best aerodynamics. And the self driving.
Oh yeah, and the Cyber Truck that will have not 3 but 4 plaid motors.
Love my 392 and won’t be getting rid of it for a long time but I really can’t wait to see dodges ev
Yeah it's fast! It is just not my style of car. I am a true muscle car lover. Thank you Racer X for the great info video.
TESLA is the NEW American MUSCLE , the Model Y is OUTSELLING the Mustang in some states.
Dodge/RAM says is KILLING the Hemi & Hellcat engines in 2023.
and both the Model 3 and Model S have been Transformed into RACE cars by several PRO Drivers.
BLAKE FULLER won PIKES Peak in a Mod S, and later RANDY PROBST won Pikes Peak in a PLAID.
the Model 3 has even been Transformed into a RALLY car and WON the Australian TARGA 2x .
@@markplott4820 I do not feel the Tesla is a muscle car. I get it it is fast. I know the V8s are gone. I was raised with camaros, Mustangs, Dodge and Plymouth. Those Are my memories. This is just my opinion. Thank you for your thoughts and opinions.
@@ardelld8465 - I think the MACH-e GT is a good alternative to TESLA.

LEXUS/ACCURA/ EV will also be Interesting , but will be awhile.

Yeah buddy Racer X ,knows how to get R done🤑✌️
Great video bro. That Plain is a goat.
I have a Model Y long range and it is a spaceship! I truly could not imagine driving something like the plaid.... but I want to. Going to have to take an advanced driving course to unlock the top specs on that beast.
Model S is much better, model Y is restrained in its design due to cheap price.
Power isn’t everything, what about handling? Even some say a Miata is a great car to just drive around. Id rather go with an SS, 5.0 or 392 tbh but those for me have enough power and fun for everyday driving. Plus they have manuals, and sound fantastic
Same here, boss.

The Plaid is an absolute beast. I love internal combustion cars but they have had their time.
Coal powered (electric) isn’t any better.
@not today it’s “want to bet” not “want a bot” LOL. And it’s a verifiable fact: between the pollution caused by batteries and the fact that the electricity used to recharge them being powered by coal, it isn’t any better than a gas powered car when it comes to pollution. You lost.
@@daisychain2428 i wasnt talking about pollution?? i mean performance and reliability
I’m conflicted. I’m reminded of what the Luddites did at the dawn of the industrial age. I don’t want to be like that. I accept progress. But I don’t like EVs. Thanks for this video RacerX; it is appreciated.
«I dont like EV’s»?
Whats the alternative?
Bring on the climate change?
@@runeoveras3966I hear you. But the alternative is something better than the current EV. They are not the environmental panacea as the current technology still is hard on environment. It is also hard to implement in the rural Midwest for practical reasons. Thus conflicted
So cool the power those make! I’ve been thinking about maybe adding one of those to the collection! Great info X! Awesome car man🤘
Hell yeah if you can't beat em join em
Very true information a lot of ppl can’t handle that kind of power and actually it’s more scarier than a hell cat when it comes to getting into the wrong hands
Great job on this video! I have a new Model Y for just over a month. It is not an S Plaid, but it is amazing! Stop any Tesla owner and you will hear the same thing. This car feels like a sanctuary every time I plant myself into the driver's seat and take it for a spin. To top it off it's quicker than all of the Super ICE cars in my 1970 high school parking lot including the Vets, SS396s, 442s, Duster340s, Daytonas & SuperBs. I certainly understand the emotional attachment to the sounds of powerful machines, but at my age, I prefer fewer headaches.
I think in just a few years the value of those classic cars are going to start tanking
I’m really curious what Mopar and other well known companies will do to compete with Tesla. We’re talking companies that create muscle cars!
probably loose me as a customer lol. trying to get my hands on a hellcat before the fun ends

I wish they had given the sheet metal a little bit more aggressive looks but I like the idea of kicking butt in utter silence. It makes the humiliation much more complete. We have a boosted Model 3 and are completely happy with the git up and go aspect of that. We're always looking for the pole position at every red light.
That's what we like
Scary fast. They just need better speeding lanes on the highway👍🏼

It's actually the safest sedan on the road as well ironically
@@jonjeskie5234 sure when you are in chill mode.
@@dremusic210 no design-wise and the way it handles crashes.
it also can avoid a crash.
It’s so much more to my love for car than just SPEED! The Tesla does nothing for me no matter how fast it is…. Give it a redesign and come back to me
It is, like gigantic luggage space, roofbox for my 🎿 and snowboard 🏂, amazing UI and tech, cheap running cost and maintenance, great resale value....
The Tesla Model S Plaid does have a great top speed but thats not the biggest reason to love this car. I'll help you: 1) It accelerates quicker than any other production car in the world including any Porsche, Lamborghini, or Bugatti. 2) It is the safest car in the world from crash testing showing it has lower probability of injury than other car brands and that includes Volvo. 3) More efficient in energy consumption than a Toyota Prius. 4) Contains the best software of any car. 5) It has the most advanced driver assist technology of any car you can buy to the point now with latest version of FSD beta package that you virtually have the equivalent of a "Chauffeur Mode" (still with supervision of course but getting impressively good). 6) Carries 5 passengers and has more cargo carrying capacity than any other sedan in its class.
The engineering to pull off making a car that is the best in all these categories while costing in the low 6 figures is an insanely unlikely accomplishment for any company and yet Tesla pulled it off convincingly. This car has the entire car industry rethinking their path forward. I think a car like that has a lot to love! Regarding looks of the car, I think it looks amazing but recognize to each there own taste.

High powered cars are usually hit with high insurance premiums, what would it cost to insure?
If we are gonna be doomed to drive electric cars in the future I’d rather it be something like Lithium, the Mustang at SEMA a few years ago. It has incredible looks and a clutch pedal. But I’ll be staying with ICE because of the sound, the feeling of cold starting an engine with a loud exhaust, gear changes…cars that have a soul. It really doesn’t matter what a Plaid is faster than, there’s always something faster.
Not buying a ev because of sound its silly dont you think? And cars have a soul? Just because you control a car doesnt mean you have a soul but still..ok😅
Being that this the route we’re going in, it’s going to kill the car scene no point of making builds when you have a stock car doing 9.3-4 consistently smh
Yep, imagine a cars and coffee with nothing but electric cars. Or a drag strip with nothing but electric cars... you're right, car scene will die. Not fully but it will be a shadow of it's former self for sure
It just changes what your modding. You plug up a computer and change the electronic speed control settings, etc. The focus is on tires and other things. However, it does make ICE pretty much obsolete across the board except for highly modified drag cars.
TESLA Roadster 2.0 being made in 2023 will be the FASTEST car on EARTH - 0 - 60 in 1 second .
and its all Electric , and its a 2+2 seating.
Not many people will be able to afford a 120K car, You can build a fast hot rod for less than half the price.

More the the drag racing hobby than speed? That’s literally the only thing in the hobby. Tuning and mods might be an enjoyable aspect of the hobby but all that work is to speed the cars up and to get them as fast as possible. It’s always been that way.
@@MiddleAgedMike Car hobby in general, like restoring a classic, building and modifying a car in your own image, creating more driving enjoyment in a vehicle, actually working on a car yourself, things like that.
??? As an Ozzie, why are Americans buying ancient design v8s ?
I used to race a Pro Gas motorcycle that basically ran identical numbers as this car, 8.90 at 150+ mph. That was fast and to do it in a 5000 pound car, crazy. I have been fortunate enough to ride in one.
Another great one bud, I really enjoy the sleeper cars that is fast, they usually still have a muscle car look somewhat,
with these Tesla plaid they don't like a muscle car what so ever, and being so quiet will turn so called car guys off,
but it is a truly impressive what these cars can do, but i will stay with the ICE muscle car. Thanks for your hard work bud.
Really nice take on it, considering you are a muscle car guy!!
I respect the speed no doubt, it’s insane. BUT…for me personally, it’s not JUST the speed, it’s the look, feel and sound of something like the Charger SRT models that make it special. I’m struggling to get behind the electric thing just due to the look and lack of noise! Lol. I love the sound of muscle cars, the small of high octane and the simplicity. I don’t know, the Tesla is an awesome care clearly but it’s not for me. I just won’t race a Tesla! Lol $147 grand on the Tesla S Plaid with some upgrades. That’s steep!
Drive what you love for as long as you can, the world is getting more and more unfriendly towards ICE. As much as I love Tesla, it’ll be a sad day when tyrannical governments tax gas vehicles out of the market.
Tesla is pure American technology and innovation compared to the Italian and German hyper cars!!
Bullshit!!!! There are tons and tons of German innovations in that tesla, German hyper cars are way better than a tesla.
The way you’re expressing how fast this thing really goes I felt inclined to google search “can the tesla plaid be dangerous?” around the 10 min mark I should have waited 1 more to see if you touched on that point😂
Are you going to a Tesla car meet? It would be pretty eerie seeing many cars moving around but there is no sound!

I actually agree with your take on this. However I don't drag race at all. I like to take my cars to the track for fun. My cars are in the 450-550 hp range which is the sweet spot for me. It's the fun of the V-8. The cold start, down shifting. The e cars can't do that for me. Yeah one day I will probably have to get an e-car; but not today.
In my town of Livingston NJ, (Which is full of wealthy ppl), there's about 10 Model S Plaids. In fact, I even saw a Lucid Air Dream when I coming home from school one day. One of my classmates has both plaids; The Model S and Model X plaid.
Yeah I hate to see what that roaster is going to be like🤦, Only thing is crazy is that when it get ready cold I see a lot of them on the flatbed. The snow even hasn't hit the ground yet. I'm sure they'll have that worked out soon
Roadster 2.0 is WORLDS Fastest car on EARTH, the only car Faster is the 2009 Roadster in SPACE .
I saw numerous tests on this car where they hated the handling. The testers said it was borderline dangerous. Completely not stable at high speed corners. That’s the difference between the exotics and this car
It is still nearly 5000lbs so I can see there being some issues with handling
And braking on tracks.
@@daisychain2428 thats not a serious issue you only need to change the brakes with better ones and then you are good to go
Guess you never seen it the plaid at the track th-cam.com/video/Ujp3q_aryRA/w-d-xo.html
@@netrox1345 except that it’s still horrible on tracks
Ohhh man worlds fastest production car rocking hubcaps!!!
Sweet!
I recently started watching your channel because I'm looking at buying either a Challenger 392 or Hellcat. I've had a 2020 Supra since new and really enjoyed it so I thought I'd try something else. I'm also selling my Tundra as I just bought a 21 Ram Trx. Do I need another Hellcat motor or should I go with the 392 ?
On another note, last summer I sold my 2016 Tesla Model S 90D so I can somewhat relate to the torque on the Model S Plaid. The 90D was pretty crazy ! I live in Canada and drove it all winter in -30 Temps with no problems so you're correct that it really has no boundaries! Keep up the great videos !
You didn’t own any of those cars
@@johnshukeireh5804 Pardon ? I owned the ones I mentioned. I'm looking for a Challenger now. You have me thinking Plaid now lol
@@hawk3331 You’re just some broke kid that doesn’t have a car. Let me guess what’s next; a Lamborghini?
How can I contact you by email ?
@@johnshukeireh5804 I'm 58, everything I've said is the truth ! I can prove it !
Its a great car, but it doesnt make a sound tho. Majority of the fun I have behind the wheel comes from the scream of the V8.
SILENCE is GOLDEN.
Have no fear, majority of us are far from being able to afford these cars anyway. The only people that can afford them are the people we all work for. All your hard work buys them everything you want. Now just want to buy a new Toyota Corolla because it reliable and call it quits.
Looooooooooooooook at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
That's a great point, but you read the comments under these videos about the Plaid and you'd think people were swimming in $130k plus cars.
@@shaybapple agreed, I’m not paying 6 disgust for a freakin vehicle, and I’m a car guy since birth. Not a good time to like cars. Lol✌🏼
@@shaybapple that’s digits but the way. Stinking spell check
I paid for my Plaid by investing $50-$70 every payday into Bitcoin. Within 2.5 years I paid cash for my Plaid, paid off my wife's new Durango RT and refinanced my house for 15 year instead of 30. Now I work because I enjoy it, not because I have to.
@@1122jeffb well kudos to you, people who drive Teslas and Durangos the RT ohhhhhhh ahhhhhh wowwwwww. It’s a horrible fashion show on wheels. Embarrassing really.
You know your stuff! Did you hear about the updated 0-60 of the roadster? Tesla show room stated it’s 1.1 second 0-60!!! Mind blowing if they achieve that.
I believe the 1.1 is with the SpaceX package added which is a cold compressed gas rocket booster for the track only that does its thing once the license plate folds down and out of the way.
Great Video! Ive driven a few Tesla's including a Model 3P & YP and both very impressive! I just recently demoed an S Plaid at my local Tesla dealer and i have to say im seriously considering selling my 22 Shelby GT500 Heritage CFTP for one! the performance is mind boggling and the ride and comfort are amazing. I thought my Shelby was fast at almost 800wHP! Wow! The great thing also about the S & X Plaids is free charging for 3 years so basically your just paying for insurance. I think it truly is a no brainer! Yeah the shelby is a great car and i will probably miss it but tbh i wont miss the maintenance and the gas fill ups every hour! Idk im still thinking about it.
Tesla performance isn’t new. The P85D back in 2014 was just as paradigm-shifting fast. At the same time, it lacks the soul of a dialed-in ICE monster.
I don’t care how fast they are, I’m not buying one until they figure out charging. Plus I have a hellcat on order, so my wallet has already voted. And being 60+ years old, that grew up in Detroit, I just don’t like them. My dad has a iPace, fast and all, but it just feels fake, if I can put it that way. Of course very nice inside, it’s a jag, but give me an XKE any day.
Yeah I will lose a race to a plad, but there is more to it than just that. I love the feeling a real muscle car will give you, and, even if they figure out charging, they just don’t have that special something. At least not for me.
They've figured out charging. Plug it in in your garage at night; full "tank" every morning. Use a Supercharger station if you're taking a road trip.
So what do y’all do when moving 60-70 mph and a car pulls up and wants to go?
The consistent power and speed of this car despite its weight provides a preview as to why every trucker is going to want the Semi when it comes out
It’s going to be a strange new world when the truck is the one passing the cars to clear traffic…
Because it's not a true car. It's a kitchen appliance on wheels. And i hate soy & love gears.
exactly, I will never buy an EV
No matter how fast or how much power Teslas or other electric cars make, I still don't like them. They are a fancy golf cart for the street and my mind will never change from that.
Agree 💯
youll change your mind , when the Tesla ROADSTER 2.0 comes out in 2022.
0 - 60 in 1 second . 600+ miles and 250+ mph.
@@markplott4820
Nope, most people don’t like them
@@onetrickpony5884 - almost 1 million people disagree with you WORLDWIDE .
100% its just a fancy golf cart but man thats exactly what i want in a daily driver to run errands around town. Hop in, no engine warm up and just take off wherever. no worry about car keys or unlocking/locking just get in and out and go. My weekend driver, I want a manual gt3 with its screaming 9k rpm flat 6, but every day putting around town, ill take an s/x plaid.
Very good video
The car is just amazing, that's the future!

Watched a vid where a Naverra gapped a Telsa consistently hits 8.5s
You can't honestly expect a $130,000 car to be faster than a 2.5 million dollar car? Ridiculous comparison.
@@tomrynkewicz7674 ok dude I was simply stating you can't expect any late model muscle regardless of breed off the showroom floor to gap Telsa so need to run your key board mouth essentially a 2 wh drive truck out pulling a 4x4 ya I get it
RIMAC is a JOKE , they can SCALE , unable to Produce even 9,000 NEVARA per year.
Totally agree. It’s made so many performance cars irrelevant in terms of outright speed. And the not dying at the top end is a big point too. That was always the catch with racing Teslas and now that’s not a thing either lol
I am a fan of RacerX but it's more just about speed. Sound, esthetics, and attitude mean more to me. The Plaid is insane but given me a beefy v-8 with that deep growl.
Everytime.
Why I hate Teslas? Their arrogant owners and the politics that surrounds EV's in general. I hate the fact that certain government officials think that the solution to not being able to afford to fill your gas tank, is to buy a $50K electric car.
you can buy a USED Tesla for $35k and a USED electric by Anyone else for $10k .
The electricity comes from burning coal.. yeah, I’ll stick with gas.
You're projecting, not all Tesla owners are froo froo tree hugger. You'll be surprised how many of us Tesla owners despise the late stage dementia idiot in the WH. Most liberals hate Elon because he recently took the red pill. Heck, even the current administration & sleepy Joe hate Tesla.
The acceration on the tesla plaids and the speed are unmatched. But still it is an appliance, i still have more fun in a miata than the plaid.
Tesla mod 3 PERFORMANCE can out corner a Miata.
@@markplott4820
It sure can, but its still not as fun.
yeah miatas are fun on the weekend, probably would rather have an s2k, but id love to have a cayman gt4 as my weekend driver. that being said, id rather have an x plaid as a daily driver.
@@noway6238 yeah miatas are fun weekend cars, but you wont get the same thrill as trying to get a geo metro to accerate fast enough for the highway or anything for matter. Or the reactions to revving a Versa at a porsche or any sports car for that matter. If the plaid fits the bill for being a daily for you then i say more power to you.
Well, it's a big family sedan, not a small sports car. Entirely different experience. You could buy an original Tesla Roadster if that's what you're looking for.
@2:45 You’re the man Racer X, BUT the car isn’t moving at 0 RPM. I think it needs AT LEAST 1 rpm to turn the wheels lol
I'm here to watch some racing but those blue eyes got me all distracted. 😂😂😂
