  • This is the 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid and it is the fastest production made SUV in the world! 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds!
    The Model X pricing starts at right over $100K, the Plaid version starts around $130 but will run you $162K fully loaded.
    In todays video we also cover the pros vs cons with having an EV, is it really saving the enviroment? How long does it actually take to charge and Tesla Model X Plaid?

    Most won’t rely on the superchargers for their daily routine charging. They are meant for long distance travel. That’s why are placed off highway exits. People that buy a plaid model x will install a charger in their garage.

      @yt310yt ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Agreed. I have a Tesla and charging is a non-issue with a level 2 charger at home. When on road trips, Superchargers are strategically placed along the route and you usually don't need to charge to 100%. You just need to top up a certain amount (e.g. +25%) to get you to your final destination.

      At least for the Bay Area, there's a lot of people who rely on superchargers. A large amount of people live in condos or apartments that are all street parking, no where to charge. It's unfortunate because the chargers are ALWAYS clogged at many locations. On my Model 3, I usually just use the CCS adapter now but even that's not working out so well any more. The Electrify America, etc chargers are always taken since there's many new non-tesla EV's on the road. The charging infrastructure is really starting to show it's weaknesses

    99% of people driving less then 50 miles per day "idk if i wanna wait at the charger for 25 min man i can refuel in 3 min with a gas car" Not realizing they would just be recharging the car at night at home never waiting or going to a gas station ever again unless they go on a roadtrip.

Not having a consistent level 2 charger available makes the ownership experience much worse. People are slowly convincing apartments to install L2 stations, it’s more of a thing in California as of now.

      You also assume that people who drive 50 miles per day or less never take trips of any kind that would require more range. Yes, my daily commute is about 55 miles round trip, and I wouldn’t normally have to charge anywhere but home, but I do take longer trips. And sometimes I’m out driving around all weekend. And what about people who live in apartments??

      a 10-80% charge should take about 20 min and give you more than 200mi of range to get to the next supercharger. thats usually how I calculate routes. divide total trip mileage by 200 and multiply that number by 20. thats how many min you will be charging for the entire trip.

    • @yashuh
      @yashuh ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I’ve charged to 100% for the past 6 years. It has 180,000 miles and range went from 256 miles to 190 over the years. Only reason I neglected battery was because Tesla honors a unlimited mile battery swap before up to the 8th year of ownership. No longer the case on the newer cars unfortunately. Nor is free supercharging :(

    Pretty sweet X3 Plaid I must say. Looks unreal blacked out with that combo. I'd be charing 99.9% of the time in my own garage and just need to plan ahead a little on road trips. Charging stations are located near restaurants, malls and coffee shops so you get other things done while you charge. You don't sit there and stare at the charger like we do with the gas pumps. Just a change of habits I suppose. I remember when I had a diesel car and when travelling it was often really hard to find diesel in some towns had a few close calls. That doesn't really happen with modern day EV's that have these crazy digital maps and GPS systems built-in with all the charging stations and details mapped out. Currently drive the F150 Powerboost hybrid but I'll make the switch here eventually....probably in the next 3-5 years once more choices and availability are out there and it doesn't take 1-2 years to receive the ordered vehicle although Tesla is one company you can probably get vehicles much faster currently than the rest of the companies out there because they control much of their own supply chain....which is smart. Anyway, enjoyed the video and liked that you changed it up.

      I’ve always thought they should go to a universal battery platform which you rent and drive into a station and you just swap your battery for a freshly charged one. Doesn’t seem feasible but that would make EVs a lot more viable for longer trips

    I’ll be in on electric cars when 2 things happen. Infrastructure for charging is scaled and when a battery comes out that doesn’t require huge lithium mines. Until then, it’s a cool option but not sustainable for everyone.

      If you can't charge at home, at work, or where you park your electric car daily it make sense to think that an electric car is not for you. Otherwise an electric car will not be a problem it will even be more convenient in daily to not have to go at a fuel station. For long trip the Tesla supercharger network will give you the ability to travel everywhere pretty much easily.
      Regarding your second argument, yes extract a tons of lithium is bad. But extract petrol is not good too.

      Thank you for your informative comment reply though. My friend has the S Plaid, the car is a beast. He has beaten my 992/911 Turbo S with relative ease. While I enjoy riding in and driving his Plaid, I am always caught off gaurd by the lack of breaking compared to my Porsche. I also have to slow down considerably in the twist, turns in his Plaid verses if I were driving my Porsche. Now from a pure straight line acceleration position, My Porsche can not compare to his Plaid, the thing is insane. We have discussed all of the points I just made comparing the two cars and we agree to a T on these points. He likes to rip the back roads in my Porsche compared to his S Plaid. The Teslas are all amazing cars, I have no argument there. At the same time I can tell you I am not a huge fan of our mutual friends Hurrican. While it is fun to drive, it is not comfortable, not as fast as either of our cars. The only advantage "if you enjoy it" is the "wow" factor. Being stared at everywhere you go and someone always wanting to talk to you about your car. I do not enjoy the harshness of the ride, nor the attention that it brings.

I have to drive in the middle of nowhere NC, VA and MD....... For my family the trip would no doubt detour us east to meet up with 95 north. I prefer not using 95 north as traffic is horrific through all the major cities. The time estimate given is always extend hours due to rush hour traffic or just heavy traffic in the major cities we have to pass through. We take 77 north to 81 north ect... only major city we have to pass through is Charlotte. The rest of the way is small towns, two lane highways ect... until coming up on 66. The drive is great for avoiding traffic. The ride is also very rural so, stopping for food and or bathroom breaks definitely take planning. Again the lack of traffic and scenery are major pluses verses 95 north.

      no its not like gas. your phone doesn't get heavier and lighter when you charge it. its just electrons.

    EV's are great, especially in performance but most of all practicality. See for instance the Rivian RT truck has tons of storage possibilities and great performance. However as you mentioned, EV's are definitely NOT environmentally friendly. The type of damage they cause is being kept hidden. Although it is better to have mega trucks on electric motors instead of high smoke diesel engines driving around in a crowded place. the long-term issue of the EV's will come sooner than many think when all those cars will be needing new batteries and old ones cannot be fully recycled yet.
    the replacement costs are too high for more than 80% of EV's customers.
    And then we have the safety part of these cars: At 150K$ you get super hypercar performance which normally would cost way above the 1MM$, this means that a lot of crazy "young drivers" will be Plaiding around causing serious accidents....
