Great review!
Thank you! Still enjoying your Plaid I assume?
MKBHD!!! I love your content, you and Ryan are my 2 favorite Tesla TH-camrs!
Absolutely. Working on my own review as well. 10K+ miles here 🤓
@@mkbhd I know that you are gonna do a CyberTruck review once it releases, are you going to do the same for the Roadster too?
What a surprise mkbhd commented
Best car I have owned. I am enjoying the experience so far. Tesla should move the right blinker to the right and keep the left turn blinker on the left. I do not miss a "normal" steering wheel at all. Tesla does need to improve the overall quality and needs to follow through with driver experience but we all have to remember, 10 years ago, Tesla was a non player in the automotive world. Today, they changed the industry. Growing pains are a natural part of the process. Mercedes, GM, Volkswagen, Ford, Toyota are all brands that have history dating back 100 years in a few cases. The fact that Tesla is where it is and what they have done as far as influence is huge but going forward, they need to work on the after purchase experience.
Same here, absolutely love the car. Mine was purchased in late Aug 2021 and it doesn’t have any quality issues:
no gaps, no trim issues, no noises, etc. Mine does have the little worm thing on the yoke but it’s not very noticeable. Even in the cold winter months, the range is still pretty good.
Well fucking said. I was like #69. Peace
Agree, Tesla is catching up to old OEMs on things like features, fit, finish, and luxury. But they're SCHOOLING the old OEMs in performance, efficiency, desirability, free marketing… basically everything else.
I can personally testify to the safety profile of the Model S. My last one (pre-refresh, but same basic frame) was destroyed when someone drove the wrong direction on a freeway at 4:40 am and hit me head-on. I lost my glasses and was not even as sore as I get after a workout. The car was totalled, but I was fine. The other car, an old Cadillac, was pulvarized, the other person was killed, and their vehicle's wreckage quickly caught fire. I was so stunned at being alive after that, that all of the hypercar performance features now seem like an ancillary bonus extras after that, the sheer ability of this car to protect the driver from wrecks that are fatal or seriously disabling in other vehicles.
Wow that is really amazing… so have you done anymore experiments without your glasses??? I wish that happened to me when I took my glasses… all I ever get is bruises from running into things and a headache
I have watched your channel for a long time and I took delivery of a Model 3 LR on Feb 8. Thus far I have found no production flaws. It came with the v11 updated UI. I have been aware of previous versions. When in doubt try voice command rather than hunt through menus, especially when driving. The suspension is on the rough side but I like how it handles and accept that it doesn't offer a marshmallow ride. Learning to watch the screen while backing is hard for me but it is growing on me because the rear view and side mirrors are pretty small. The blind spot cam is in the left lower corner which usually means my right hand on the wheel is somewhat in the way. I noticed that yours was in the lower middle. I find the interior lighting to be almost useless. I have been adding accessories, console organizers, trunk mat, bag hooks but am very annoyed that the trunk has no tie points. I can buy them but knowing where to drill that is safe... Tesla should have included a few. I am still deciding on how to park. I have a long driveway and a left turn to enter the 2 car garage with no excess width to make the turn easier. I can place it better by backing in. Adding a 14-50 outlet would be easier if I nose in. Backed in, would require a longer run for the 14-50.... 6" vs over 20 feet and more damage to a finished garage. I will live with the 120v 12A for some time before deciding. It actually works for me so far. So far being plugged in hits the 80% every night. I have been letting the battery run down.... still has 179 mile range which probably would be okay for the rest of the month.
Oh, I need to say this car is so much fun. It put's a smile on my face every time I juice it even a little.
The service appointments(due to bad quality control) and lack of parts available, drove me to sell my Model 3 2021. The bad thing is they only tell you that they do not have the parts required to fix your car when you are already at the service center, which requires me to re-schedule another service appointment and take a free from work again. A simple phone call from Tesla service center could have saved so much time for me. But happened to me 3 times!
You make one of the best Tesla videos I've seen Ryan, keep it up!!
I took delivery of mine right around the same time you did Ryan (same color too!) and I too think it is the best car I've ever driven. One thing about the horn, you can activate the horn by covering the right side of the yoke with your entire hand, which is much more intuitive and easier to do then pressing just the touch sensitive button
Love the smiles & giggles under Plaid acceleration. Never gets old.
Thanks for the video Ryan! I received mine in January this year and haven’t seen any of the negatives you had. Truly an amazing car.
Dude you nailed it. I have the exact same thoughts on ours. Especially the notifications covering the side cameras when backing up. I hope someone at tesla sees this and gets that fixed.
I traded in a 911 Targa for my Plaid and I don't miss the 911 even a touch. Best performance car you can buy right now, love it!
omg you are so right about the bad steaming, i find myself switching stations quite often as it literally just gones blank. Eventually back to BT streaming from phone. *sighs
Just took delivery of a 2022 Model S LR after waiting 9 months, my first Tesla and EV. I'm blown away by the car. Getting used to the yoke faster than I thought I would. I can't find any QC issues like Ryan experienced. The only thing that puzzles me are some settings don't seem to work, like I set the car to honk to confirm it's locked when I walk away but it doesn't. And the car seems to do what it wants regardless if I have it set to unlock only driver's door or all doors when I approach. And one key fob never worked.
You can program the key fobs to work using the app and the key card. Remove the battery cover and make sure the plastic has been removed. If you’ve tried both then I don’t know.
@@Bonelaw11 I've tried, and when I picked up the car the associate was having trouble programming the fob but I assumed he got it working, but he just handed it off to me in a non working state. I called them yesterday and they said they'd send me a new one. A minor, but annoying, issue.
Do a hard reboot. Hold the brake and press and hold 2 scroll wheels in till screens go black.
@@TEDActuallyTalks That occurred to me but I hesitate to do something as drastic as that for relatively minor issues. And why a brand new Tesla would need a hard reboot is crazy.
I had issues because I store my extra key cards and fobs in the glovebox. I put them in a faraday bag and the issues went away. (Or just use aluminum foil)
My Model X Plaid is amazing. I love it. I've had it for about two weeks. Everything your saying you don't like about the car I feel the exact same way. Since its pretty much the same tech.
Thanks for the honest review. The squeaky arm rest alone would drive me nuts.
23:49. Can be useful if you're not sure whether your thing fits in the trunk or not. When you're loading out you figure out it doesn't fit, yet you're still holding it, so you then just press the trunk buttons without having to take the thing out and walk around the car to fold the seats down. Button press, push it forward and it's loaded. Not useless at all.
Is it your own Spotify Ryan? The built in one works every time for me 🤷♀️
What’s your safety score in the Plaid? Lol!
My M3LR also creaks a bit 😢 but it’s definitely the best car we’ve ever had - so FUN!!
How can the scroll wheel not work to move the following distance? This is SOFTWARE & they’ve already invented that particular wheel!
Can confirm phantom braking is an issue with our 2022 model 3 Sr
On 2 lane highways when passing bigger vehicles or vehicles in tight packs it would slam on brakes right before passing
An easy fix to stop that was to keep slight pressure on pedal but it shouldn't be like that :(
Everything else has been great so far!
That's because it doesn't have the radar system.
Mine hit the breaks when it saw a wet spot on the road that resembled an object, lol
@@serotonin2456 yes! There were a few big dark road patches that it tried stopping for lol
On the highway from Colorado to New Mexico, It felt to me like the phantom braking would happen whenever we got a sudden downhill. The car seems to be braking so it doesn't go over the max speed. If it's a long, predictable hill, the car can handle it. If it's a sudden dip in the level highway, I get a phantom break.
Keep up the good work 👏👏
great review Ryan!
Great review, Ryan. And spot on. I've had my Model S LR for about 6 weeks and love it. I'm completely comfortable with the yoke, except for the horn. Only a few minor issues at delivery and they were fixed at a service appointment. But really, in this price range the car should be delivered without problems. I also would like to see; following distance on the scroll wheel, overhead parking view, front camera when parking, energy screen, and automatic opening and closing frunk. Hopefully a future software update will fix the first 4 items. Overall a brilliant car. If they would just pay a bit more attention to the small details, they'd be there.
You can also activate the horn by placing your hand over all of the buttons on the right side of the yoke. It works great 👍🏻
Great review.. Love my Plaid. Agree 100% with pros and cons. My major negatives are the horn placement and no unlock door buttons while the car is on. Dropping or picking up my wife entails me hitting the control button then hitting the unlock button. A lock/unlock button on the top left of the screen would be much quicker. Thanks
I've had my Model S Plaid for almost 2 months now and love it! I would not go back to a steering wheel or stalks, I like the yoke better now and prefer the turn signals buttons as well. Same with the onscreen shifter, I also prefer that and have no interest in going back. I also love the little things like the blinkers automatically turning off when you change lanes and the auto gear selection when you hit the brake, very cool. Only changes I would make on the inside is having the horn be in the center of the yoke rather than on a button and put the blind spot video on the center screen rather than the middle screen. On the outside I wish it had the soft close doors that the Model X has, and kinda wish the frunk had a button to auto close it.
The turn signals on the steering wheel seem like an improvement in ergonomics/effort required to indicate indeed. I however cannot imagine the on-screen shifter being handy and faster than a stalk when doing multi-point turns while parking.
@@toondkn that last part is very true. Nice observation and thinking cus it’s something that really does happen often
how about SiriusXM? Does that include any trial, does it pickup good?
Whats your recommended sound settings in your tesla? Im getting a model 3 this summer
Everything you need know about Tesla Plaid is in the video, great content.
Question...Is the driver "front" visibility as good as the M3, or is the dash a bit taller? Thanks
Ryan - as an owner of the 2022 LR 'S' - with 3,300 miles - I can add some things you didn't touch upon:
1) To your point - there is an issue with the audio options. I can add to your issues - as I have the XM Radio ap literally disappear every day or two. No one 'owns' this - Tesla claims XM, XM claims Tesla. A 'soft' reboot doesn't bring it back. A 'signal refresh' sometimes does - but not all the time. Bizarre, but I suspect others have the same issue.
2) As you are also in the LA area - you can verify what I'm about to claim: The autopilot will 'change' (reduce) the speed you're going when it sees fit - and raise the speed when it thinks appropriate. Several areas on the 10 Freeway have this 'issue'. Would greatly appreciate you driving thru the same areas - and reporting accordingly.
One final point - I too have gotten used to the yoke - and the lack of stalks - but the bigger question - to me - is whether such a setup is 'better' than the traditional setup. Certainly there isn't a person (lol - even Elon) who would swear that having the horn on a small, capacitive button on the steering wheel rim is safer than having it located in / on the center wheel airbag (for those old enough - French cars had the horn 'button' on a steering wheel stalk: That went the way of the dinosaur).
As others have suggested - they yoke should have been an option (or - a true wheel should have been an option).
Keep up the great work - it's terrific to see the growth of your channel.
on mine the horn works if I palm the right side. faster access than a horn. love the yoke
What a nice car man! Would love to drive one someday.
I have the same issue with Spotify (2022 MYLR) and since my drives are typically very short, it’s irritating to have to change sources and then back again for it to load.
Wow did not know it was your own Plaid! Good for you!
There needs to be a fix for the arm rest, because I don’t have that issue on my 2021 LR. Sometimes it feels like I got crazy lucky, on how few issues I can find. That or the service centers in Minnesota are less overwhelmed and give it a closer look before delivery.
Getting my model 3 next Tuesday very much looking forward to it. If possible would love to see a video about “upgraded self drive” I am interested in summon mode but have heard mixed reviews on it.
I have the software upgrade and honestly the summon mode is just a gimmick. It’s fun to be able to tell family and friends that you can control the car from your phone, but only goes forward and backwards. If you think it will come and get you at the front of the store for example 99% of the time it will say that it can’t. It only works if the entire lot is empty. So for me it’s just a fun gimmick to show family and friends.
@@enriquecahua8108 thanks very much for such a detailed response. To be honest my drive way is relatively tight I.e. the cars have to be parked one behind another. Do you think the summon mode would be smart enough to reverse out of a drive way? While I’m not expecting it to collect me from the store it would be extremely helpful when swapping the cars around in the drive as an example.
@@LeadersandLunatics oh yeah! So long as you are just reversing and not turning you could totally pull that off with summon mode no problem!
@ryanshaw you keep saying this is the best car you have driving, can you list the cars you have driven? That will help us understand what you are comparing the Plaid to
As you say Ryan, the best part about the Model S 'is driving it!'
Sure hope l get that same feeling with my 4 Motor CYBRTRK!
Great review Ryan. I’ve owed Plaid since Dec and echo all of your complaints. The oversized Homelink button one drives me nuts. Do not understand how that passed QA. One you didn’t touch on was the underutilized driver dash. The right side of the screen is wasted with only showing the speedometer. I previously owned ‘20 Raven Model S and it was much better utilized with ability to add album art, trip data, etc.
Can you use Bio Defense mode all the time or only on occasion?
Great summary
Did the long range ir the model y have a acceleration boost option like the model 3?
My S-LR is the best car I’ve owned. Thanks Ryan for the education on this car. I wish Tesla service could figure out why rear seat clicks on bumps & turns. I think it’s the rear seat latch because when seats are down there is no noise.
Great review. It was mentioned that radar and ultrasound are still part of the package, but i heard Tesla wants to discountinue this at some point if not already.
Any chance we get youtube music there?
I would LOVE birdseye parking view--on all including my Y.
how are the headlights? I'm picking up a 2022 model S but still have my reservation. All this talk about the new headlights has me thinking if its worth the wait.
I wonder if they are holding off on optimizing apps because (hopefully) they’re making an App Store 🤞🏻
The 2 things people complain about are the horn not being in the center. And the turn signals not being tactile buttons. You should be able to feel what but in you are on and should be able to feel when it gets pressed.
I love the energy consumption data. Would really miss that.
It is also much fun to see a 999 km range when going down hill
Spotify - I'm pretty sure it's a Spotify issue and related to other spotify players on your account. It could be a coincidence, but I've noticed when I kill Spotify on my phone the car immediately connects to spotify, within nano seconds... lol.
In addition, on my Linux computers, I noticed ever since I got my Plaid those computers would randomly just stop playing audio from any sources. At first I thought it was random and a Linux problem, but soon after I realized it's always after I drive the car. Coincidentally enough, when I kill spotify on the computer all the audio comes back without the need to reboot.
I'm pretty sure this is not a Tesla problem.
FYI the driver center armrest on my Model S Plaid doesn’t make any sound when I lean or push on it so they don’t all do that. They should be able to fix yours. Mine is same vintage- September 2021.
I have two and no creaking issues on either, must be luck of the draw.
Let’s hope Elon will have a look at your vids. But I think many other car manufacturers are catching up fast in the next months esp in tech features. Many have a really good ar hud, better traffic sign reading, no phantom breaking and overall quality.
I completely disagree.. exactly who is “catching up”? Overall quality? Sorry? So other manufacturers have octovalves, and heat pumps and fewer parts over all? Better range? Lower cost? A legacy EV will break down as much as an ICE vehicle, they must do this otherwise the dealerships won’t sell them.. EV only startups can’t ramp up and produce in volume fast enough. meanwhile Tesla is running away from the pack. And interior features is NOT a sign of a better quality car.. it’s just a bunch of bells and whistles.. Tesla put all that in a single screen. It’s not an airplane. You don’t need to see every gauge at once.
@@Guest_1138 YES..agree with you completely. We've been driving teslas since 2017. In the last two months I have test driven the ID4 and the EV6... The KIA was the more interesting of the two but so "gimicky" and full of hard plastic and silly design 65k with the 5k dealer mark up. The ID4 is an electric tiguan... just not great, sorry.
Our Plaid has almost 11k on it and has none of the issues "QUALITY" reported above ... my daughter's 2018 early m3 has over 50k and not a rattle or shimmy and 0 service. Our 2019 x had 38k miles and had the half shafts "upgraded to the new design after they failed. Our leased 17 100d never had any issues. We drive these cars like cars... coast to coast all the time and we are hooked now. But I think that my taste has evolved over the years and it's hard to see the "familiar" approach that legacy auto manufacturers are pursuing as anything more than just that. For me it's Miles Davis not Miley Cyrus, so a matter of taste I suppose.
I do agree that the stop sign issue is a problem. Here in rural GA we have many merging roadways that have stop signs that appear to face directly at the car causing it to react. It will be interesting how this will be addressed moving forward for all manufacturers!
Supercharging availability wins the day for Tesla.
Brave man to make such a brash statement in this forum.
@@davegenet you have to be brash to combat the rampant FUD and misinformation.
Just picked up my Model Y Performance on Saturday I wish it had Sirius XM. 😥
Would like to have the energy consumption display on the plaid. It is useful !
I get so motivated to work for one of these but the expensive MY is just what I want and I just barely able to afford it while this is 2x the price. Motivation leaves no vacation!
I have an older MS and I use the energy screen 100% of the time. Please Tesla, bring it back!!!
Loved my Y, but the S is another animal. Question…how do you get the charging stats on your app? It doesn’t show up on my IPhone app
Ryan, excellent review as I'm contemplating buying a model S Plaid. I have 1 question for you (or anybody else that might know the answer) Is there a break-in period on the Tesla, like gas powered cars? Or can you just rip-it as soon as you get it.
Great review. I’d love to have one. But M3P for me for now. Apple Car Play? Don’t want it until it’s wireless.
Great review! I always enjoy your reviews, sometimes I might disagree, but overall you do us a great service.
AT LAST a qualified knowledgeable reviewer who doesn't drool all over himself about FSD. I too agree that the
software is nowhere near the price quoted, and IMHO simply doesn't work now. When I tried it in a loaner and
in a rental vehicle, I spent too much time and agida worrying about what idiot stunt it would pull next.
Re the yoke - naaahh... The lack of the horn button in the classic location is the major reason I won't have one.
All the controls bunched under our fingers, well, OK, but why not left turn under the left thumb and right turn under
the right thumb? THe noise level and suspension would also sell this car to me.
If I had the extra sponduliks I would , I would trade in my Dec 2022 Model 3 LR on an S, but not the plaid. However, comma,
for the nonce I am over the moon happy with my new Model 3 (replaced a 2020 SR+).
This well presented honest review was very welcome. Thanks!
You forgot to mention one massive issue. The brakes on the car are absolutely rubbish. There is not nearly enough stopping power on this car even in the standard new model S. I have one and even just normally driving about I feel like the brakes are underpowered. Despite that and all the other annoying oddities, it's still the best car I've ever owned or lived with
I test drove the plaid and at normal speeds the brakes seemed too weak. It is as big as my S class Mercedes.
@@hummer219 the new Big brake package should be standard on this car and they should increase the price of the car by about $5,000 to pay for it
Well, they market this car for its 0-60, not 60-0 :)
Edmunds panic stop from 60 mph 108 feet , same test by edmunds for a 2021 S class was 129 ft , breaking power for the plaid is there . reproducibility and heat management of the brakes are the real issues which matter for racing but for daily driving brakes are perfect . Of note Taycan 60-0 103 feet
@@FRANKTMD I can tell you from first hand experience over a couple months driving the car for 7,000 plus miles that the brakes are insufficient for normal daily driving. There have been more than a couple times that somebody has done something stupid in front of me and I've had to stop quickly and every single time I feel like the car is not going to stop. I'm definitely not racing around town screeching to a halt. I only really ever use the speed to get on the freeway, past cars on the freeway for for a little off street fun here and there. The brakes are completely insufficient for having much fun as is the yolk because it's impossible to deal with if you're trying to turn Wheels around quickly but even for daily driving the brakes are extremely squishy and not confidence inspiring
Ryan Shaw, when autopilot is engaged, using the right scroll wheel changes the max speed on the refreshed Model S rather than the following distance like on other tesla vehicles.
Scrolling for max speed works exactly the same on the Model 3/Y/S/X. Clicking left and right adjusts following distance on the 3/Y, does nothing on the S/X.
+1 on bird's eye view for parking!!! Of course if FSD learns to park, I will retract my request for bird's eye view.
The S and X refresh are also missing Caraoke that my kids miss a lot from our Model 3. The complain about music is a personal complain; I don't really care about music and for me slacker is good enough and I don't use any other services. To me for $130k this car is cheap when you compare it to something like a Taycan or a Lucid. You get a lot for the money, I love my Plaid.
I just thought of this when I was watching this, on the screen in the back it would be cool if you could do airplay from your iPhone or iPad or iPod touch to the back screen I wish they would add this
I'll think about getting one when they sort out warp drive.
We’re looking at the Plaid hope it’s improved since this video.
Agree with the rattles and other flaws but would not own any other car for the price. The camera layout should change the side cameras on top and the back camera at bottom would make more sense.
@Ryan Shaw can you do a video talking about infrastructure and how it’s going to accommodate the increase in electric vehicles nationwide?
Look to your local and federal gov’t news for that. Biden has talked about it recently but it’s gonna be a while until more infrastructure is built up. Also down to your local city/government to choose when and where they get installed at. I’m hoping they’ll be at least half as prevalent as gas stations in 5 years or so. The goal so far is to put EV charging in already established lots instead of building new spots for them like gas stations though some have propped up at convenience stores with gas stations like Wawa etc. because charging typically takes longer than gas fill up they want chargers at places you can find a way to spend time at. Government idea of charging infrastructure vs consumer/manufacturer ideas are very different so I’m interested to see where we’ll be in 5-10 years.
What i want. Be able to move windows on screen and you have 6 shortcuts?! Y and 3 only get 4 :/
Ryan, have you driven a Porsche Taycan? Would love to see a video with your take on it - quality differences, performance/handling, etc. - from the perspective of an experienced Tesla & EV owner (like myself).
Taycan’s “money” feature is handling and design. Interior volume is smaller than a model 3.
Material “quality” feels better because it’s real leather and not PU and they have buttons/haptic feedback. Teslas will wear better over time though
could you please make videos about Lucid air?
I have the Spotify issue on my model 3 as well
As a disabled driver, I can’t see anyway I could drive with the steering yoke. I’d say having it as the only option is discriminatory. What do you think?
The vehicle has the ability to full self driver, IMO best option for disableddriver.
Before the "wheel" was reinvented, pun intended, production vehicles had to be customized to accommodate disabled drivers. So, no I don't think it's discrimatory.
Do you play in drum circles or in a band?
A vast majority of Tesla Plaid buyers get them for one thing....they are the fastest cars on the planet (a caveat here that I should mention is other European cars that come fairly close to the Plaids performance usually cost at least double the Plaids base price, and the Rimac Nevera, which is about a half second faster than a Plaid, last week was certified legal for all countries safety requirements, will only have 150 models made and
costs $2,400,000 before options!) that you can buy from a manufacturer that you don't have to spend an additional $20-$30K to modify them to still be slower than a S Plaid. AND for you folks that agree and have interest in speed rather than how far we can go on a charge, or how much your Teslas will be worth 3 years from now, or the minor fit and finish issues that are always mentioned by Tesla haters, and are usually taken care by Tesla when mentioned when you buy this Model, this will be right up your alley! The TOP LINE Lucid Air offers 1,111HP, while the Plaid offers a supposedly 1,020HP, BUT there is a TH-cam video that has a Plaid on a 4 hub dyno that develops 1,101HP STOCK from the factory. The Plaid also weighs approximately 400 pounds LESS than the Lucid Air, and averages between $20,000 to $30,000 Less than the advertised $179,900 than the Lucid costs DEPENDING ON OPTIONS CHOSEN for each car.
Last month a Tesla Model S Plaid in Napierville, Quebec set the new record for the fastest quarter-mile time for the electric sedan at 8.83 seconds and 161mph.
The Model S had a stripped out interior for weight savings, as well as SV104 wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson drag radials at the rear and Michelin PS4 tires on the front.
Not content with the blistering fast time, the same Model S Plaid has set a new record this week. At the same track in Napierville the Model S crossed the line in just 8.77 seconds at 162.55mph (261.60km/h), a 5.67 second 1/8 mile time and an outstanding 125MPH to 162MPH time in 3.1 seconds!!!
As for what changed that allowed the car to go faster this time the owner, TMC user mulot30th, said there was an additional 60lb weight saving over the previous attempt due to someone else being behind the wheel on the run.
Additionally he said there a slight change to the suspension.
“Main change is suspension geometry change (slight) which reduce “tire drag” a little bit at least that is what I intended to do with that and have worked,” he said.
Interestingly, the top speed at the end of his quarter mile run of 162.55mph is inches away from the electronically limited top speed (when not in Track Mode) of 163mph.
As first told earlier this week, Quebec-based Ingenext was able to hack their way past that limiter and reached a top speed of 216mph (347km/h).
As for this Model S Plaid, the owner says that while the car does not feel like it is slowing down when crossing the line, he feels there is not much room to improve beyond 8.77s with the current setup, but a BIG brake option available from Tesla and several other Tesla specific after market parts dealers at a much reduced price, and TOP OF THE LINE HIGH SPEED RATED STREET TIRES should also be used!
You can check out the record runs both of TOP SPEED and FASTEST QUARTER MILE time on several TH-cam channels
Ryan I think you need to give FSD beta another chance and drive it every day every drive for about 2 months. After this I predict you will say it is worth the 12K. There is a learning or "comfort" curve that occurs that is hard to explain but very real. I would feel so let down now if I didn't have my FSD beta. Autopilot although nice seems to lack intelligence after using FSD beta. There is also something about having a system that takes care physically navigating your route all the way to your destination that feels like the ultimate luxury. Just want to convey that not everyone feels that FSD beta is not worth it. It most certainly is to a growing number of people.
I can't understand how issues like your and so many others can pass the many inspections points that these cars must go through before being delivered to a customer. Unless (Musk and Management) are fully aware and think or assume that customer will take the cars anyways and will be corrected later on. I ordered my Model Y Performance and it is schedule for delivery on March 6, 2022 and I will not take delivery of a car with issues like this. It is just not right. As long as customers keep justifying these issues comparing Tesla with other car brands that may have had these issues in the past nothing will get any better. Cars should be fully inspected and done properly before being delivered PERIOD. I believe they can do a lot better in this area.
Model S Plaid is amazing, was going to order but went for Model Y Performance instead and bought TSLA with the remaining $ 💰 TSLA 🚀 🌙
Hopefully you bought stocks a long time ago!
Get that arm rest fixed. None of the issues you mention I saw on mine. Maybe I got lucky but quality I think is top notch.
9:17 - Where oh where is the Energy Graph for the 2021+ Model S???? Most irritating that it is missing.
Tidal is incredible!!!
The Spotify thing happens on my 22 m8 and didn’t on my m5 2018
I think the 7- seater is actually the refreshed model x plaid
You almost showed Book of Boba Fett. I approve. :)
Everybody is impressed with the straight line acceleration, but how does it corner? It is a heavy car, and even with the low center of G, it still has high inertia. Do you find it ok, or it's like a boat with loads of understeer?
It's very balanced and pulls over 1g in cornering. All the weight is in the middle and bottom. Beats most sports cars on the track.
They should fix your armrest. My plaid’s armrest doesn’t squeak. I received it July 26 and gave over 12k miles
I have a 22 M3P on order coming from a S P90DL. I'm concerned that it won't hit hard enough to keep me satisfied (from 2.6 0-60 to 3.1 0-60). I'm thinking about cancelling my order & grabbing a 22 S LR. Or making $30k more and grabbing a Plaid. First world problems lol
The speed hooks you in!
S LR will be same as M3P acceleration-wise, and M3P will be more nimble. So the real choice is between M3P and S Plaid :-)
@@hungly9776 S LR is quicker to quarter mile and it can maintain insane acceleration at higher speeds - unlike model 3 P. Thus, MS LR is a better accelerating vehicle than M3P but M3P should be more fun and more nimble - I have M3P.
@@cobrachannel100 good to know thanks. I thought only the S Plaid maintains its quick acceleration at higher speed, did not know the S LR also does.
@@hungly9776 Yes, it has the same battery, same battery management, and i believe, same motors, albeit 2 instead of 3. Hence, a tad slower than the Plaid.
I have had a 2022 MS for two months and as Elon says, "It is faster than a Porsche and safer than a Volvo. But it still does not have Caroake. And they discontinued the pdf owner's manual and it is now only viewable in HTML. And why not more room for adults in the back seats? They had the room. A great but frustrating car company.
This is a joke, right? :-)
I don't know why my ears heard "I drive with drugs in my car" not drums 😂😂
You got a MS after you got the MY!?? 🤩
Great review but:
1. Best audio system when comparing it only to 1 other system in a car that cost half (Model y)!! Still I think the system in my Plaid is good but not as good as the upgraded systems in the 100k+ germans like the Bang Olufsen in my old Audi RS.
2. The backup camera to be honest is a joke, larger size doesn’t make it better! No highlights or marker when you maneuver around ( other cheaper cars give more info on the camera, even they show lines for parallel parking maneuvers), also No overhead view 360 to show surroundings!!
large size and higher resulution is better, i dont need all that other stuff crowding my view, i want clarity.
The question is, if I don't care about fsd, gaming, apps, or anything other than a quality EV, would you still get a Tesla, or a Lucid? I know there is a Lucid bouncing around Raleigh, but I've seen the Model S, to me the issues you talk about don't warrant the price at all. In a few years they may be worked out, but I don't know that Lucid has had the same complaints?
I sat in the Lucid Dream on Saturday at the huge annual Fountain Hills Concours car show in AZ. I jumped out immediately because the seats are not comfortable. I currently drive a performance Tesla Model X which has comfortable seats needed for long drives. All cars stationary so no driving experience. I suggest you test drive one yourself.
Can Apple Music be streamed thru Bluetooth?
Yes
I have a new tesla 3 performance which I like a lot. i test drove the plaid. it is a very wide car. i also was not impressed with the braking even with normal driving. i have ordered the tesla s in LR but i am still concerned about the handling and the brakes. I may have to test drive it again to see if I will buy it. i liked your review but I would like to know your thoughts on the braking and handling. the tesla 3 performance is a real road car. i drive it up angeles crest
above Los Angeles as you did in your video. Thanks
The new MS LR feels considerably bigger than the M3P. IMO the MS handles fine, but the M3P does gain the advantage due to the difference in size. The brakes on the MS are responsive and will stop the car quickly. Please correct me if I am wrong, most of the concern about the MS braking system has to do with the Plaid specifically. Due to its insane power it really needs a high performance braking system more in line with racing.
@@novym when i drove the MS at normal speeds I still felt the brakes were not enough. Also the handling seemed not as good as my Tesla 3. And it is very wide. I have a S class Mercedes’ and the MS plaid seemed as large.
@@hummer219 How does the handling on the MS compare to the Mercedes?
Both are big cars. On angeles crest the Mercedes handles just okay. The MS is a little better but not as nimble as the T3 performance
You were born to give reviews lol
Spotify doesn't seem to work on my model y 😕
Spotify is just the same on my 2020 model S.
Common SSDs possess charge-capacitive cells able to retain multiple levels of charge from (0-7, and now currently 0-16) with binary 000 being the highest state and binary 111 (7) being the lowest. The cells are grouped into rows, the rows are grouped into layers, and 136 layers forms a block: If each cell were replaced by an ultra capacitor rated at 100 volts ( a theoretical smallest joule of energy required to move the vehicle, under load ), and it was done at scale -- an ultra-capacitive SSD could serve as a next-generation Tesla battery ( with instantaneous charging capability )
For us not living under the sun in California lots of people have issues with the wipers. They are simply not good enough with auto.
I've been looking at the Plaid for sometime now. My issue is I have a CLS 63 AMG. I LOVE this car, the sound and luxury of it. I'm afraid I will miss the luxury and quality of the Benz compared to the TSLA.
Keep the CLS 63 and get Plaid as well :)
