![Tesla Model S Plaid | Built on a Friday [In-Depth Review]](/img/n.gif)
Ya, for general use long range version value is insane and even when we compare 0-60mph acceleration but if we compare 0 -130mph then that would make it totally worth it
I think with plaid the idea of having super car and family car in single composition at that price makes it worth it
The new Model S LR is VERY fast after 60mph, will easily walk on a M3P after 60mph. Unfortunately the 0-60 time is throttled down to keep it from competing with the Plaid for sale. I didn’t waste $ on the Plaid, very pleased with my 2023 Model S LR, looks identical and still screaming fast running a 10.9 second 1/4 mile
Having said all that, if the Plaid were a little more reasonable on price I’d own one but I’m not flushing that cash for bragging rights when I can already destroy 99.5% of all cars on the road.
I don’t know how many Model S videos I’ve watched waiting for mine. It’s good to see a video made in Washington State 👍
Washington state resident here also. Mine is coming in November, hopefully sooner
I wanted the black stitching on the white seats! Also the silver plaid badge on the back with the performance enhancement spoiler make a huge difference.
That's not about 0 to 60 Mile/h
It's about 0 to 200 although it's currently limited to 163
The Plaid is certainly wortht its money, think about it - almost 400 mile range, 200 MPH, low 9's in the 1/4 with the same amenities and safety. These are great too but Plaid takes it to the next level.
Jake! This is the best Model S review ever, thx! I have LR on order currently due in November (been delayed many times!). I will be trading in my current 2020 M3 perf, which has very low range and has a lot of wind and tire noise, so much so that it's hard to hear the amazing sound system! How is the noise level in the Model S? thx again! Good job!
With the new sound isolation put into the newer models, the road noise is negligible. All of the newer models have double pane windows in the front to cut down on road noise. It’s very quiet.
Hope you get your car soon Jake. I ordered my LR before the fresh (White on White). Expected delivery from October 22 to Nov 3. Praying it actually gets delivered. No more delays please.
My question is can the steering wheel be used with one hand? Not everybody is able to use two
Great video. I was watching the video and I got excited to hear you guys are from Seattle! My model S is not due till November. Maybe we can meet up when I get mine. I live in Puyallup.
As a 23 long range S owner, I am happy with the performance, and overall choice. However, the plaid really kicks and pins you to the seat haha But I don't see myself doing this often and I just drive my S in sports mode, and not even the insane mode.
Afterall, it's each to their own, and honestly I would have gotten the plaid if I had a bigger budget this year.
Thanks for your video!
Hi. Michael here. I met you at Tesla Lynnwood with Ben. Great video!! Love driving the Model S. Just got my Model Y and its amazing. Tesla has the best cars in the world.
Hi Michael! It was a pleasure meeting you. Glad you liked the video review and I agree Tesla has the best cars in the world. The Model Y is an AMAZINGLY well-designed and built car...
The plaid also has tri motor configuration right?
Yes. It does have 3 motors...
Not only tri-motor. Carbon wrapped motor.
Thoughts on a 2021 Tesla model S with 33k miles and FSD, 21” wheels. White exterior black interior. I can get get it for 77k. Should I ?
Are the rims here 19 or 21in ???? thanks!
He has 21 inches on His Model S in the video. I purchased 21 inches on my Tesla Model S P85D 7 years ago and almost immediately regretted it as they make the ride less comfortable, and decrease range. So on my new Long Range I ordered 19's which in my opinion look much better than the 21s.
I like Tesla too but you two are the biggest fanboys ever 🤣 like two kids totally excited about their new toys...
Great content Jake! 🍻
Value is relative… the plaid is the highest value per performance buck when compared to the exotic cars it can roll with.
Thanks for the video I ordered mine the end of January 2021. They keep pushing the date up but for now it says the end of December.
I like your comment on the price difference between the long range and the plaid. People definitely have more money than sense. Actually usually not true, most of the time they borrow more money than makes sense. The long range provides 95% of the experience. People are so caught up on a half a second. I’m sure the plaid feels insane from 60-150 but how often can anyone really do that unless you’re doing interstate travel on the smoothest roads. You could take the price difference and invest in a good stock mutual fund and that would buy you another Tesla in 8 years. Thanks again for the video.
Hi James! I agree 1000%. For me it's all about 0-60, and I understand for a group of people it's all about 60-150, which makes little sense to me...
I am heavily wanting a nice commuter car, thanks for your guys input! It was very helpful!
The yoke is fine but that horn is out right dangerous. Searching for that button under stress …. No way. My guess is Tesla will update the yoke. This guy has obviously just recently bought this car….give him time cause he’s way too positive on the car. I’ve had two Tesla’s… trust me lol
This is Michael, not Kathy. It is one of the best cars on the planet, but there is still PLENTY of room for improvement. Quality control is still a serious problem concerning fit and finish according to many owners. The horn thing definitely needs solved by moving to the center. The blind-spot camera picture should show up in the front on the main Dash like it does on the new EV Kia/Hyundai vehicles, not at the bottom center of the tablet which is way out of view. Why did they put turn signals for both directions on ONE side? The use of buttons on each back side of the yoke would be 100x better. There is no heads up display. There is no 360 overhead view that a lot of cheaper cars are putting in now . The rearview mirror should be switchable to show an adjustable camera picture with no blind spots like they do in the Corvette C8. The rear camera review, not reverse, is distorted. We shouldn't have to use a touch screen with two moves to open the glove box ! The brakes are not big enough for this car , and if you've ever driven a real sports car you would realize that immediately. The main tablet could be better integrated into the Dash. Remove the front liscence plate holder that the vast majority of states don't require. The Mercedes-Benz EQS hyper screen makes all of the Tesla's look old school. Otherwise it's a great car.
Get the plaid, no regrets.
Picking up my plaid in Renton on Tuesday. You should review it - we can go for spin. You should look at 1/4 mile times - the difference between the two is nearly 2 secs. Also the difference is $40k not $50k in today’s price. Paying only 20k$ to get a second off a quarter mile is a bargain.
Sounds like a great idea...I would love to do a review of your Plaid, and we can talk about the significance of 1/4 mile times...
You must have money to throw around.
Beautiful car! Thin king of getting one. Juat a question: is this white or cream interior?
White
Just ordered mine today 🍻
Hello Jake, I just received my Model S 2022. One of my issues is the fact that you cannot answer your cell phone from the Yoke !!!
I love how the model s has reduced in price by 30%😂 cost me $110,000 for my model s plaid track package❤
I really really love this conversation. I love this review.
Hi Abdulquardi!
Thanks so much for sharing your kind words! Not so long after I published this video we shot another that is even more detailed which I have not had a chance to edit yet, but plan to in the future :-) Also, I plan to publish way more content like this in the future...so stay tuned!
Cheers!
Jake :-)
Looking forward to it
I wouldn’t even have to try this steering wheel out to know i’d hate it. Holding it at the bottom like that looks uncomfortable. 12 o clock is perfect for me
Huge difference in acceleration between the long range and the Plaid...not sure why you'd diss Plaid owners like that when they are the ones pushing the envelope forward so that long range owners get more value for their money...you should be thanking and appreciating the Plaid owners.
I think to your point battery capacity/range/speed are all bi-products of the same engineering. I think beauty and value is from the perspective of the buyer. Do you value money or bragging rights.
For me, I ordered MS LR and dumped the additional $40k into Tesla Stocks.
@@seinfinn You make an excellent point. I did the same thing with my P85D and Model X. Instead of paying cash for them I financed them and put the money in Tesla stock hoping that the appreciation would pay for the cars, and it more than did...
Godblesd
Both Tesla cars are great but there is a big difference between Tesla plaid s than this car here ok . 1020 BHP ON DA PLAID S . 0/60 under 2 seconds than this Tesla car 3.1. Both cars are great yes but there is a difference n yes in price also . Both Tesla cars are great .
Clyde said that you were revealing the new Rolexes at 11:30 Pacific. He’s confused, apparently.
The Tesla Plaid is now $15,000 more than the long range rather than $59,000
Meant rather than $50,000. The Plaid also has carbon fiber interior trim rather than wood. Both now come standard with round steering wheel and they cost $74,990 and $89,990 for the Plaid in any exterior paint color.
Exactly !! why does the U.S Goverment ignore a american company as succesful as TESLA!! Plaid is Drag strip bragging rights! Im very much considering upgrading my 2020 MS PL for a newer MS LR. all the new tesla max out at home at 48A. no longer go above that.
its either this or lucid. just one thing Who is better with The lucid is The interior and exterior. not driven it my self.
Horn comment: Horn
To sound the horn, press and hold the horn
button on the right side of the steering yoke.
NOTE: The horn also sounds when you cover
all buttons on the right side of the steering
yoke with your hand. THIS IS FROM PAGE 51 OF OWNERS MANUAL
Except the manual is wrong. It doesn't work.
You can tell by carbon fiber interior
Plaid is 10000 times better than long range, because it is the only way you can order a ready-to-deliver inventory car right now! (I am kidding, agreed with you, that the long range is quick enough and with a fair price tag)
I've purchased three Teslas. In spite of their quality control and after sale service problems I'm still a big fan of their cars. However, I AM NOT a big fan of EEEEHLOHHHN, and if the meeting with Biden was indeed about unions and political contributions, I'm very happy that EEEEHLOHNNN was never invited. EEEHLOHNNN can pound sand.
Nah , the yoke is stupid .
Wanted to see a vehicle review, not garbage political lecture.
Sorry but you can totally tell the difference between a plaid and a long range when you drive it and isnt the car for driving? You say the Plaid is just for "bragging rights" then later on in the video you guys are gassing the long range and talking about racing.......😂😂
Anyone see the movie “Unhinged”? We don’t need to be honking the horns anyway…
I was interested in your review but you turn this into a political blah blah blah so I had to stop
The Plaid is way way better !!! because with long range you will get embarrassed all the time because many other ice car will beat you very often they will laugh at you and at your car because they will think that you are driving the plaid without the badge and you are going to lose the race very often. So to be save I suggest you to put long range badge in the back so that way no one will be racing with you .. The stock tires come with the plaid car can do 2.1 0to 60 and 9.25 easy !! The Plaid is way better especially after 60mph it pulls super good way way way better then long range!!
Long range is better value and alot of people dont need the performance
Would you believe that some people actually get the car and use it as a daily driver instead of racing and/or bragging rights?
You think the Long Range loses to a lot of ICE cars? I don't think so.
@@bwdelisle
I really like a new model S long range and the plaid this is 2 the most superb model then any other ice cars!! But m5 competition will beat long range also ugly hellcat will beat long range and few other ugly ice cars will beat long range easy.. BUT no one can beat the plaid yet:)!!
@@bwdelisle even the model 3 performance or long range awd beats essentiall all performance ice cars on the street. unfortunately that porsche 911 just doesnt have the instant power when driving around town. yes, on a drag strip or on a track thats different. but in real life it doesnt apply. at all.
This made me lol literally. Thats like deciding between a prius and a plaid lmao smfh
