The LTE bars isn’t “for the phone.” The car has its own LTE modem inside of it so it has access to data whether you have a phone or not. Turn off your phone / leave it inside and it’ll still be there.
Reviewers don’t do any due diligence anymore and think they are providing valuable reviews
The armrest tapering to the back is for a safety requirement. In the case of a side impact the door comes in and invades the space inside the cabin, without that tapered armrest the side bolster airbag coming from the seat cannot deploy faster enough and it gets trapped between the door and the B-pillar.
This man Tesla's.
I LOVE THE INTRO 😂😂🔥🔥
This is the most Tesla Tesla so far.
The headliner falling down is ridiculous
The intro brought one of the longest lasting smiles on my faces from any TH-cam video. Well done. I keep watching it over and over
Tesla has to work on build quality. Otherwise the car looks sick! 🔥
This guy complains more then a small child in a car seat lmao didn't review much just spilled his feelings for an hour
@@khalidsyoung he has the rights to "spill" his feelings when he spends 200,000 cad for a car lol. Also they are facts not opinions
@@khalidsyoung What are you, dense? When the car costs $140k then quality control as well as creature comforts and intuitive controls better fucking be there.

YES, this is definitely our longest video yet, see the time stamps below to watch what you're interested in!

Thanks for the long content !! 👊👊
All good but this time looks Ford paid you well.
Hey if you want a perfect Plaid for you. Go to custom shop and custom/modify your Plaid to your liking. Don't forget to bring the money also.
200k CD is nothing when you think that you get 1020hp and this kind of performance. No other car manufacturer comes close.

You not only went Tesla, you went Ludicrous Tesla)) In Deep!))
Fantastic review. Love the honesty, very refreshing. And damn, even with all those issues, it still seems to be an amazing car.
Nice video. A couple of things, though: 1.) There's no leather in the car. 2.) You do get the nav on the driver's display if you set a destination. 3.) Upcoming Track Mode will sort out your turning/accelerating complaints.
Yes! Figured out the second one. Thanks for the contribution!
The acting for the beginning of this video definitely added a lot of value, keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more!
I love your review, and the fact you showed the pro and cons of this ...
your videos are awesome ... I love your honesty .... keep up the great work ... wish you all the success buddy
It’s insane!! I love this car. Can’t wait to see more on the road. Congrats man!!
Great video! Awesome production quality and enjoyable from beginning to start! Great Job!
Great thorough review, best on TH-cam!!
The best channel on TH-cam .. simply ineffable! Excellent review …
Thank you again brother. I am thinking about ordering a 22 Model S. I don't need all that PLAID stuff. Your directness and honesty really is important. Don't change. You see a lot of reviews with people just kissing ass and making things seem like they are perfect. Keep it real! I say. I got my 22 VOLVO XC60 POLESTAR edition to kind of break me in to the electric life. I will see how I feel in October before I push the button to get my 22 Model S.
First time seeing one of your videos. You did a great job of giving an honest review!
really love the effort and details in this video, giving me a realistic guide to make an informed decision, keeping expectation in check for the good and bad. Just one question though, for the bad brakes, is it possible to change to a 3rd party racing brakes and dont have to worry about it, or its software locked with pre-determined types/brands of brakes to change to?
I watched the whole vid and was completely entertained :)
Very honest video..... I will use this as my aide when I am in the market to purchase my model S. Excellent narrative 👏🏾 👌🏾 ........
One of your best intros to date, nicely done!
Excited to watch this hour long video while I wait for my delivery next month haha (July 2 order for white LR)
A few things after watching
1. The hood needs 2 hands to push down. They show this in their videos. Personally I really think it would be powered up and down, and it probably will be in a couple years, but for now you're supposed to put 2 hands down slightly to the left and right of the front center and push down to latch it. No app needed.
2. The vein is on every wheel. Super annoying. Apparently it's for the airbag.
3. You keep mentioning Model S as if it's a totally different thing from the Plaid. The Plaid is literally just a variant of the Model S. There is Model S Long Range and Model S Plaid. The Plaid is the same exact car just quicker.
Really wish you spoke about cabin noise! Many people, me included, are getting this car in the hope that it's pretty quiet on the inside.
Overall good video. Thanks!
Not sure if this is still the case, but the hood by law cant be powered.
@@RegulusRemains it is on the Lucid Air, F150 lightning, and Rivian
Waiting for my LR next month (maybe), June order! Cabin noise .. this car is supposed to be super quiet compared to M3P 2020 I currently have, very noisy, wind and tire noise. Model S also supposed to have active noise cancellation.
Just discovered your channel. Don't know who does your editing...but it is off the hook. Very, very, very, good.
Really appreciate that comment thank you!

1hr long of quality!! Fucking nice job on this one!! 💎💎🔥🔥🙏
Man The Plaid is Superb in every way and case for many years to come !! No hassle no maintains no repairs no oil change or filters no break down, just pure Joy in every way !!! Also looking very slick elegant I LOVE THE BACK of this car plaid you can sleep easy 2ppl it has a huge space in the back basketball-field :) for the groceries and all other staff. This plaid is so superb and very practical for real man !! Also Elon always push some more power to the plaid it will be faster and even stronger man !!
Yes agreed!
Oof, fanbois
this called electric car nothing todo with paid itself every single electric car doesn't need an oil change or other issues you mentioned
Super Nice Review Bro As Always 🔥😎
Awesome review thank you. Not much winter so far here in Ontario but I'm so curious to know how your Tesla has been holding up when we do have those winter days?
Love the honest opinion👍
FYI, that "vein" in the center of the steering yoke is on all of them and it's actually the airbag breakaway seam. Nothing's delaminating. It would have been nice if it was straight down the middle, but I assume there's a purpose to the S-curve design. Also, "Wiper On" is accomplished by holding down that spray button and then you will get the other options right from the right hand scroll wheel. One last thing, drag mode is not actually cooling the motors, what it's doing is actually conditioning or warming the batteries. If you've noticed, the car performs better on warmer days. Heated coolant is running through the battery system to get them conditioned for optimal discharge, similar to what happens before you get to a supercharger. I can confirm that nearly every QC complaint you have of the vehicle is on my Plaid as well, so yours is not a fluke. They indeed were all built on a Friday.
Thank you for all the clarification! Ya, I figured out the washer part a couple days after we shot the vid.
Part of the overall video was really to see if it’s worth spending the extra $$ on the plaid when you can buy a LR MS and a M3P. Thoughts?
@@ACCELER8TV No problem. My thoughts are there are very few "crazy" people like me that need the all-out acceleration. The LR is the best bang for the buck for most people and it's still a fast car. ...but, I could dump $50k US into a drivetrain and still not be as quick, consistent, and dominant as the Plaid is on the street. To me it's worth the extra $50k ($80k CAD) simply because it buys you the quickest car in the world with a warranty that not even $3 million will buy you. Yes, you can dump $100k into an already expensive GTR or Audi R8, but you will always wonder if the next launch is going to break the drivetrain, and that's what I used to go through. It's a pretty reassuring feeling that I'm driving around in the most unbeatable street car in the world and there's really nothing that can break. Build quality and brakes definitely leave much to be desired, but I've had mine halfway apart, adjusting things on it myself and I can tell you it is engineered very well, better than the competition at the moment. Great review by the way!
Omg this cinematic openings get me every time! Then I got runover by... Plaid! 🤣
Had that exact same bump in door weatherstripping. Dealer installed smaller embedded foam rubber pressure pad at the bump location in literally 2 minutes. No big deal , but should have been addressed at factory.
Your garage looks amazing. Love the cement
Lovin this content. Keep up the good work.
Hey as for the brakes you bring up a very valid point. Luckily there are other carbon ceramic alternatives that you can fit including one from unplugged. I believe tesla also has a caron ceramic kit up on their website specifically for the S plaid. They also have track mode on plaid i think.
The best intro for a car EVER!!!!
Been waiting for this one!
Finally an unbiased review of Tesla. You, sir, deserved my subscription !
Let's go to 100k :)
Lesssss gooooo
@@ACCELER8TV OSM.......I SUBSCRIBED
awesome and honest review. Appreciate it!
Waiting on my Tesla S LR hopefully next month! thx for a very detailed review, nicely done!
Hey!
What mode were you in during the cornering - ie low acceleration - phase?
Looking at the Nürburgring & Willow Spring Tesla MS Plaid Records - your valid view seems strange.
Lol second time rewatching the video again and subscribing to it how come I've never seen any video from this channel first time.
Appreciate that!
Thank you so much, whats the best or maybe better coupe for you?
Excited for this !
Excellent Review! Subscribed
That Intro haha!!
Not only was that a good intro, it was good. (Awsome)
When u did ur walkaround it popped into my mind that maybe u got a refurbished version instead of brand new. I must admit your evaluation is spot on and extremely detailed. Well done. You should tweet a link to this video to tesla techs. Im really impressed with these teslas.
When I tell you guys how happy I was when I saw the video length? Let’s freaking gooo! ❤️
27:00 - That's What She Said
Awesome job going in-depth with this Model S!
The pen flick! Lol
Use both hands to close the frunk. You face the frunk squarely, place each hand about 6 inches apart on either side of the latch and press down gently and evenly to close the frunk.
Excellent video. I opted for the current s7 for the luxury part. I like Tesla model s so much but need to see interior ambient lighting massage seats and a better refresh design especially in the back
Thx for your great info !
Watched the whole thing somehow. Great stuff 👌
Love how in depth this is and wondering how this might affect the sale price of these in the nearest future.
Really good question. On limited supply, it will be good.
I’ll let you know in March/April when i put it up for sale.(possibly)
Thanks for the review. honesty is key.
tesla still have QA issue even after 8 years from the original S
The one good thing dealerships do is they buy the car, they inspect it, and get paid money for every defect they address. its a revenue stream for them. Tesla obviously doesnt have dealerships... so lost this simple QA step.
@@RegulusRemains Yeah, why I'm forced to pass. Hope the Cybertruck is better.
@6806goats1 I've had 3 and never had a QA problem. If you want the most advanced cars on the road it's still the best choice.
Great video A8. You got a subscriber, i like your style.
HHHAHAHAHAHA that intro...this is awesome . Almost 100K, is this the giveaway car for 100k subscribers . Kidding congrats .
For a car nerd this was superentertaining👍. Just out of curiousity, why not the Audi etron GT or Porsche Taycan? The supercharger network? Performance? Range? Keep it up!
That was a properly done video, thanks for going in-depth on all the features. Good to know about the less regen on a full charge, this car still needs a lot of tweaks from Tesla.
for following distance in autopilot, can't you use the right wheel to adjust it, like in the model 3 and y? also for the frunk, it's two hands on either side of the logo to close it correctly. not sure if that changed with the model s though.
This video will push the channel to 100k subs !!
Hopefully the TH-cam gods are watching!
Noway in hell it should have all these fit and finish issues. For 200g birds this should come perfect!
You mentioned that the insurance was 2400. Do you mind sharing which company that was in Ontario Canada?
Production value = INSANE!!!!
Amazing job putting this one together…A8 more like AGR8!!! Amiright??!!!
Sounds like they need slotted or cross drilled rotors to get rid of the bubbles between high performance braking surfaces.
Great review :)
Just ordered my plaid. Subbed 👍
The minimalist interior looks beautiful.
I like how the afFORDable was in the background of the launch.
👀 The shape reminiscent of a grown-up version of Toyota Celica GTS con is waiting period. Nightmare anticipation on the moldings issue. Plaid is reference to the mind bending speed that the driver gets like in Spaceballls. Great video
Could the power cutting when you turn, is a safety feature to protect people going side way due to the tremendous power? If there is such feature, can it be turned off with the stability control?
Very cool video production.
I’m a Tesla fan boy 👦. I agree, they should of updated the brakes, your concern is absolutely understandable! They will hear you guys. Great view, thank you ☺️
Great video review
LAWL!!!! LEGENDARY REVIEWS! super underrated channel! so true! when you get a car built on a FRIDAY.... you're gambling so much on the quality LOL! thank you for pointing this out! XD This PLAID was probably even built end of shift on a Friday..... LOL and its even worse when you think TESLA Doesnt have a proper Pre delivery inspection to fix any issues that may still be there.... funny how majority of TESLA cars are MADE TO ORDER! yet you get stuff like this......
Did you ever get the standard 2022 Model S? How do you feel about that in comparison to the Plaid?
This is the most objective review of a Tesla yet. Good video
Starting was great
This exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a trillion now I can order mine .
Looking forward to the Defender review!!!!
do yo9u recommend that I buy the standard range? Delivery coming this weekend
Love the Plaid. Planning to buy it or the Roadster. Not sure yet.
@ACCELER8 Horn also works when you use both palms of your hand on each half...
What a fantastic channel.
I watch every second of this 😂
19:30 Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the only reason the seats didn’t fall forward is because they’re still new, and “stiff”? Kind of like a new book that won’t stay open to the page. You gotta work em in and then they should fall forward easily cause they’re heavy.
I’m thinking that the washer fluid button is pretty unnecessary especially if it doesn’t turn on the the window wiper blades. Honestly I think it would been better to just turn that button into the button that turns on the blades and maybe turn on the fluid if you hold the button down… and I like how you said something about it right after I typed this 😭 welp to late
Every car has the vein, its a cable to the airbag.
You can adjust cruise distance on the yoke button.
Exciting ride Mike you took me on, acceleration that has to be experienced to barely understand, that wears thin rapidly and what is left is crappy value proposition and for me completely misses exotic sensory experience
Yes totally different feeling, but I can daily it, crush anything I come against. Wearing thin is true. The driving past gas stations when I have 5 gas vehicles in my stable is a breath of fresh air.
I’m waiting for my Model S Long Range. I have watched a lot of Tesla model S refresh video’s. Nice job on this one.
Thanks
Nice! Hope you enjoyed the acceleration of all 3 modes
Movie like. Awesome work.
Nice ride Mike time to buy one of those!! What do you think!!
Gotta just love this review, even though it’s not just what I wanted to know before pick up of my MS Plaid. 😂
great video - thanks
Your welcome
Do you recommend the 21” or 19” in terms of ride quality? I love how the 21” look but does it make the ride rough even with air suspension?
I have driven my Performance Model S with 21”’s with air suspension for 132k+ miles.. 19”’s offer more range, quieter and more plush ride, and more range.. but I still roll on the 21”’s because I just love the stiffer and quicker handling as well as the looks of the bigger wheels. If you can live with a harsher ride, 21”’s look amazing, but there are days when I’m driving on bumpy roads that I wish I were rolling on 19”’s.
If they incorporate aggressive regen algo WITH the brakes, it should make them feel very responsive
Wow a movie! Too early for 🍿 ah no. Great content 👍 to bad about the build quality
29:42. How many times do I have to say this: YOU DON’T WANT THE HORN BUTTON IN THE SAME PATHWAY OF A DEPLOYING AIRBAG!!!!!!!!
The reason you are not getting full power when going into a turn is because, the dynamic stability control will limit power into a turn to maximize control. The steering angle is communicated snd the proper limitations are automatically applied. The amount of torque that could available on a turn at “wide open throttle” would throw you into an undesired path or result in a crash. Disable traction control and disable obstacle aware acceleration. Then give it a shot. Be careful! traction control can give you a false sense of driving ability. When it’s disabled and you need to regain control diapers maybe required.
