Your little one's reaction to the launch was adorable!
Am I a bad person for laughing out loud when Evie screams in terror? Uh, probably, but hilarious, nonetheless.
If so, then I'm a bad person too. :)
Why are you calling yourself a person, don’t you know what you are?, I know what you are.
Awesome review.
I think what makes Teslas so special is that any other car with 1000hp would be almost undriveable anywhere but a track. They would be extremely loud, supercharged and get less than 10 miles per gallon. This you can drive to the store to pick up your groceries and still beat everything else on the road.
YES!!! Performance Never Goes Out of Style!
You're daughter is so ready to experiance rollercoasters now if she is tall enough. My daughter has been riding them since she was 7 and we both love them. Great review as always, The Model S Plaid is still the most fun car I've ever had the pleasure of riding in. There are plenty of nicer cars out there as far as fit & finish but few have what Tesla brings to the table with automation and performance.
Yep, Model S looks timeless! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Round steering wheels ain’t broke and Tesla shouldn’t have “fixed” it
Have you tried it. I have had one on my model 3 since 10/21 and love the yoke. And when my wife got her model y she wanted one.
They did... available as a retrofit on march
Nobody NEEDS anything better than a Corolla, but this is one of those cars that made a lot of people want an EV for the first time, and Tesla keeps making it better and better.
A model 3 would be better, cheaper life time cost and one of the safest cars ever built.
@@Victor-vj5ds CAP
@@Ethan7s nope, just math, it cost 8$ in electricity to travel 400 miles where I live, in 10 years I could buy a brand new tesla just from the gas savings let alone the maintenance.
Rarely do I see a family perspective when reviewing cars. Nice!
Great review. Getting this as the new family car in 2 weeks - trading out a M3LR. Always loved the S, and now it looks even better than before! One of the better looking cars on the road TBH.
People keep saying "waste of money just to go fast". They are missing the point. It's a great family car; lots of space for people and cargo (more than most cars in the segment), amazing AWD system, bio-defence mode that can be used in tunnels, one of the safest cars on the road today, air suspension. The interior is a love or hate thing. I love the minimalistic design. I don't need buttons for stuff I use 10% of the time (way cleaner this way). Amazing charging network, love the screen (maps is amazing) and it's really responsive, great app, keyless entry works amazing (just have phone in pocket) and it locks, unlocks etc. No stupid "start" button.
Let's not forget having a car with 1000HP is just fun. Most EVs "die out" after 60 MPH, so the extra acceleration in the Plaid is not "for nothing" - it's always better to have too much power than too little.
Regarding "soulless" - it's true. All EVs are soulless, but that's why I have a ICE track car for track and Sunday driving. That's my "fun car", even though it has well under half the power of the Plaid. That being said an EV for daily driving is the best. Never going back. That instant torque, silence and no vibrations is amazing. Also no more troubles with starting an ICE car when the temp is -20 C (which happens here in Norway).
Exactly!!
I have a Tesla S Plaid as my family/daily driver and Camaro ZLE m6 for the weekends/track. As an enthusiast, I'm fortunate to have the best of both worlds. We had a Tesla M3P for 4 years before the Plaid, was a great little car as well.
Thank you guys! Great video! 🤩
We’ve had ours for a year now and love it. The yoke has not been an issue for either of us. On long and or sporty drives I prefer it. On the rare occasion I need to do a 3 point turn, it really doesn’t both me. In a crash situation I could see needing the round and mm, but at that point the car is probably going to take over anyway because of the collision avoidance SW. the visibility it provides is amazing.
Add being able to do a 300 trip for under $7 in a car that can spank anyone else on the road from any speed and it’s even more amazing.
Idk where you live but in ny my friend just got done driving a model 3 and it was almost 30 bucks for a charge to 100% for about less than 300 miles more like 265 miles.
@@occckid123 we are in Spokane WA. Our power company is 95% hydro and we pay less than 7 cents a KWH 24/7. We charge at home, so rounding up, it would cost $7 to fill our 100KW pack with a stated range of 396 miles. 300 with my driving is probably closer, though I never pay attention to it. We just plug it in every few days or as needed.
@@occckid123 he’s talking about home charging. Your price is supercharging.
@@MrGreatnessisme ok and he had 2 charge multiple times a day. He didnnt have time 2 be Hoke charging like that plus the way he and trips the other day he couldn't even drive a tesla.because it didn't have enough range. He had 2 do back to back trips and had no time at all to even stop for gas. Not everyone lives in a home that has home charging so yes its more expensive and inconvenient than driving a fuel efficient car where I live in ny.
That was a ton of fun! Our 6 year old loves our Tesla too. We don’t have the plaid or anything, but we still get that big push.
Haha, I love that Evie was not having it and totally left you two for dead. Do your thang Muzios! I love you guys.
this was such a great review, i was smiling the whole time you guys are awesome. I do love the Yoke tho!!
I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave such a kind comment! And thanks for weighing in on the yoke. I'm a wheel guy, but there's plenty of room in this world for other opinions. Cheers!
Love the smaller diameter wheels on that thing. Didn’t know it was available with anything other than the 21s.
I don’t. Ugly.
@@kcw9313 Okay, but the Price of these "Electric tires" goes up with the larger tires too!
Recalls for Teslas are mostly over-the-air fixes. They shouldn't be called "recalls". If the screen is intimidating you can always use voice commands.
Can I just say that I love you guys? This review brought so many smiles to my face. 👏 ❤
Sending love right back at you. Cheers!!
YES!!!
Glad to see a review of this polarizing vehicle from a family. Kiddo’s recommendation speaks volumes to how the average person sees these cars as opposed to the reviewers that point out the indicate details. Didn’t hear any mention of panel gaps in the review at all which falls in line with MKBHD’s recent hot take.
When driving a quick tesla. You instantly forget about the panel gaps.
Consumer Reports rates panel gaps almost as bad as engine failure 🤦🏽♂️
@@RP-16 LOL. I know, right.
No panels gaps, but he did mention that the Tesla comes with “the usual Tesla fit-and-finish” or whatever he said
Panel gaps were mainly a problem in their Fremont California factory, their quality has greatly improve in their Shanghai and Berlin factories. Keep and eye out for the Austin Texas factory when it spools up.
Im getting mine with 19 inch wheels. The roads are so savage these days. I need all the comfort I can get.
One thing: as far as recals go... most are software patches that you authorize downloading through the app while the car is charging. The most recent one that sticks in memory was a patch to change how hard a window would pinch a finger before winding down again because the power windows were deemed too pinchy. A regular car would need a dealership visit for that.
Very good review:)! Thank you...
Welcome, I remember your video at Barstow, many years ago, so incredible for those age
Your buddy has some awesome wheels on that one. Those are not stock or at least looking at the web site. Awesome as always guys, still loving my Flying Eyes too. In fact about to order a pair of RX sunglasses from them soon. Thank you again for the excellent review as always!
Those wheels look like the Tesla 19” wheels with the plastic aero wheel covers removed.
Hey Micah, what app was that to calculate the cubic feet in the Frunk?
Love the honest review. Wish u had tried a 3-point-turn
I’d wrap mine in british racing green. I hate the yoke, but that screen behind the dash is super cool and the yoke does make it far more visible.
Yes da plaids S is kid friendly in da vlog top level reactions, great friend to let ya do this vlog
I’m a simple man. See a new Micah review. Clicks thumbs up.👍
Amazing video guys!😸
Thank you Ryan! 😺
Nice review. You did mention recalls. Most of them were over the air software patches. Comparing to other manufacturers they have had less
Did you try using the screen as a rear view mirror and did you like it? I wish the main rear view mirror functioned as a digital mirror. I do like how using the screen as a rear view mirror I can see the blind spots too
so what would be the point for 21 inch wheel? Dose it provide more traction for 0-60 MPH as it is heavier???
Funny, I used to drive these streets everyday and worked right there on some of those streets you turned down.. miss Carlsbad sometimes.. especially darting over to Encinitas.. but its all changed so much now
I want to try that front license plate trick. How did you do that?
Okay, seriously, I lmao when she said, "oh, thats an amazing idea." Wicked awesome! She rocks.
That car is unbelievably fast and looks great! Want one so bad!
Love it. My next car in the same color
Hate the yoke steering. I would replace that with a normal round steering wheel.
Good review! Do we know if they’re gonna do a redesign anytime soon?
It took Tesla 10 years to make the first interior design change on the model S and X leaving the exterior with no change. I think this design its going to continue as is for at least 5 years.
Have you had any luck with Park Assist functioning without having USS? Does the car provide any feedback at all?
“Terror but a little sense of power” lol! This is a great review. I went with s over taycan not only because it’s less money but also for the fam. Great job guys!
Oh my goodness, this review was laugh-out-loud hilarious! From the speed-squeals to the 'Why don't I get out...' comment. SHENANIGANS! LOL!
Dude finally!
Thanks!
Gregory, thanks so much for your kindness. Hi5!!
The steering wheel shape is better because it forces the driver to keep their hands at 9, 3 o'clock position and it makes the screen visible without problems. The issue is that it's linear steering instead of progressive so that you can lock the front wheels left to right or right to left without turning the steering one hundred eighty degrees or more so it has to be steer by wire to work. The buttons also need to be physical and tactile to know which one it is without having to glance down.
I love the phone in the frunk 😁. Also performing a U-turn with a no U-turn sign clearly visible on camera. All yokes aside, the steering wheel is bizarre
what's up with that missing cover in the front bumper?
which after market wheels is that and is it 19 ?
Such a sweet family !
Best Car Tesla 😍 Thanks E.Musk
It's hard to imagine future versions of this and the non-sport model they already look so futuristic. Love it. most people dream about owning cars but can't afford it because they undermine online passive income.
Therefore, in the current bear market, we should pay more attention to the risk rate of the market. We must control the risk to a minimum and maximize the profit. It is best not to blindly enter the market.
Glad to have stumbled on this conversation. Please can you leave the info of your investment-advisor here? I'm in need for one.
@Fredy Dez next level youtube scam going on here
I cant believe Ive been watching you for over 7 years now. I remember when your daughter was born. Wild
It would be interesting to see what the family thinks of the Model X, the Lucid Air GT, and the Mercedes EQS SUV 580, if you haven't already done them.
Fantastic review. Can we get kiddo a mic though?
Another fun review from your family. Living in southern CA, teslas have become so common, they are now the new camcord (boring). This makes it even worst since the design is so old and the low end models look so much like the high end models to all but tesla fans.
Camcord (Camry and Accord).
It is the iPhone of EVs after all
You are right about Teslas in general around SoCal, but the S definitely stands out from other Tesla’s. I’ve never had an issue identifying one, and I’m not into EVs or particularly like Teslas in general.
Haven’t seen more Tesla drivers finding out about the front sticker plate…it’s so much better and looks nice!!! I love mine
@MicahMuzio Will you be doing a F150 Lightning family review?
I have a request into Ford. Hopefully we'll get our hands on one soon!
You get used to the yoke after a few weeks and can palm a uturn. Thr main thing I still hate is the lack of a physical gear selector.
But seriously: It is family compatible, technically superior, and aesthetically pleasing: not to mention the fact that it performs like a Ninja road warrior assassin! (Great Review)
Nice but I prefer round steering wheel. Nice ev nice vid.
Love the Model S Plaid! Sure, it might be an old design, but it's undoubtedly still the best electric car out there (along with other Teslas).
A very cool and unique automobile. I can see why most Tesla owners love their vehicles. It was fun watching the Muzio Family enjoying the Model S Plaid. I was worried about the little one getting sick, but to the contrary, she loved it! The Model S, and especially the Plaid, look beautiful and sleek in photos and videos, but I don't know why it is that when I see them on the street I am a little less impressed. One question: is the awesome SpaceX badge standard on all Teslas, or just on the Plaid?
The SpaceX badge isn't standard on any Tesla, that was an aftermarket addition. Also, the newest Plaid models don't say "PLAID" on then, they just have the plaid logo on them. They're a little stelthy, you have to know what to look for to spot them.
@@mdrudholm Ah! Thank you Mark for that information☝For the price of that model, I would want it to tell the world that it is a Plaid model, but that's just me. I don't have to worry about it though, as I could never afford a Model S of any type
First time coming across your channel, good review. Maybe another commentor mentioned it, I don't think you covered voice commands. I find it is often better and more convenient to activate essential functions by voice command rather than taking your eyes off the road and fiddling with the infotainment screen. For example, if you're driving along and the windshield suddenly fogs up it's better to hit the voice command button on the yoke and just say, "turn on the front defroster." Same thing applies with other functions like navigation or adjusting the climate control settings. Regarding the yoke, I'm OK with it but I'd actually prefer the yoke to be narrower in width, and I'd prefer the turn signals to be buttons, I'm not always successful with haptic activation. Also I'd prefer the horn to be the middle pad of the steering wheel like many other cars. Still, I think the Plaid is a fantastic car, there are some many things it does extremely well, it has totally transformed my driving experience.
What is cool is that I will never be able to experience one of these cars anytime soon and your presentation allows me to see what one is like. Happy with a Tesla for $109,000 great that satisfaction is included.
Tesla is like any organized religion. Culty. This was fun tho :)
One note to include about Tesla recalls. Most of them are not physical recalls. By the time you get the little letter Tesla has already updated the car to fix it over the air
I like the yoke more than a round steering wheel now. It only took a week to get used to.
Can I ask what you prefer about the yoke?
I like the wider wheel. It offers more control when accelerating or launching the car. It has much better visibility of the dash. It’s comfortable when cruising down the road. If you change the steering to comfort mode, it is very easy to turn with one finger while parking and maneuvering around tight spaces. I have not had any issues with controlling the car for performance driving. I have been track racing for years. Gas cars can’t compete with the Plaid. I bought the car for the performance, not to save the environment. Overall it is an awesome car.
You got a wonderful family, little one is witty just like you Micha.
Your comment made me smile. Cheers!
Great review as always. Fun and entertaining. But...the Muzios recently reviewed the Toyota Venza and they complained about the lack of physical buttons. Yet here they didn't even mention the lack of buttons. I keep seeing this happen with different reviewers. They will criticize the lack of physical buttons on different vehicles but not on Teslas. Why is that? I would think that a Tesla, with all the things you have to use the screen to make happen, would be a very distracting and unsafe. Yet I rarely see reviewers say anything. Just curious why the lack of buttons doesn't get mentioned.
Minimalism. Until you drive, it's something only in your head. Once you experienced, it's hard to go back. Why he didn't complain lack of buttons? It has great performance that kills off everything. Toyota EV? No!
Could you review Steam games on Tesla, which from today are also supported with latest holiday update? This would be super fun material to watch! :)
yes
A Big Welcome back.. to Micah..keep em coming..
K.A.R.R. - “I am the Knight Automated Roving Robot”
“I am the prototype of the car of the future”
Most of those "recalls" were Over The Air automatic updates...
The VHT isn’t necessary to achieve the sub 2 second 0-60. Brooks from dragtimes said he has done 0-60 in the 1.9 second range on a regular road.
Interesting detail. Thanks for mentioning it. Just curious, did the dragtimes time include rollout?
@@MicahMuzio Yeah, he included it
@@1ronEntertainment Wow. I’ll be sure to check it out. 👍
I follow Evie. Love the squirrel 🐿❤️
All the price increases last year put the Model S out of my reach but we got a Model 3 Performance instead and it's a wonderful car. It's not a daily driver but something that we go for fun drives and road trips in (and occasional silliness like in your video.) I know a lot of people have been turned off by Musk's behavior but that's a pity. It's an amazing car - and Apple Music is coming in a future update. It BETTER include podcasts.
Why didn’t you test Autopilot?
👍🏼😊👍🏼 Yep it looks awesome!
I think another reason they have the yoke is to force people to hold the wheel/yoke at proper position so its harder to lose control when the untrained gun it and the car starts to take off. (ie see Mustang drivers cant drive videos - they hold the wheel at the 12 o'clock position and over steer into things and crash)
It reminds me of the Porsche Panamera.... the exterior looks. The technology inside is definitely next level. I hope that charging availability improves to a point that makes electric cars a feasible option for many.
Look at out of warranty costs. 800 dollar door handle. 3-5k modules. Poor winter performance.
It already is. Tesla's Superchargers are essentially everywhere at this point.
I live in PA and there a least one tesla superchargers no more than 5 miles away everywhere you go in NJ theres is like any gas station they are everywhere and you can buy a ccs adapter like i do to charge in any chargers not just tesla superchargers
Is it true that the overwhelming majority of Tesla recalls are remedied with an over the air software update?
I like the look of the Model S, it's a proper sedan. The Model Y, Model X, and Model 3 not so much.
A fam that rides together in a Tesla plaid s stays together n we get to enjoy da reactions here is da topping beautiful family here n happy new yr 2023. On this new yr eve here December 31,2022. One day I will get me one . Move over NISSAN NISMO GTR MY TOP FAVORITE CAR . Well ok lambo AVENTI ALSO. PURPLE N BLACK
The Model S Plaid costs more than what I paid for my house. Yes, I did buy my house several decades ago; but still...
What's with the license plates?
My guess, 3 ATP, as in Airline Transport Ratings.
The decal is available via a third party in CA.
Great car buy the yoke is a no! Hope y’all have a merry Christmas 🎄.
i would wrap it yellow or plaid.
Yoke is functionally better because you can see the dash display better. Also, a nod to KITT.
Pretty cool, I have flown all electric RC planes/Helicopters for 20 +years. Very fast and even faster than most Nitro/gas planes/Helicopters. I’m not ready for electric cars now too. Cool though.
Great review! So much of what you liked about the Model S is what we like about our Model X!
Nobody:
Micah: Do you think we should smoke that camry??
*zoooooms*
Still nobody:
Great Video but i totally disagree about it being a great family car. Ive driven the car a few times with the 21" wheels and it is a blast and the only few things that i dislike about the car is the yoke steering wheel, little leg room in the back and of course with minor details of the fit and finish that pretty much all Tesla model has had in the past to present day not to mention, range anxiety that i get when im behind an EV, nevertheless its a great vehicle and a fun one at $140,000.00, id settle for an SUV for my family.
I don't know why every car company wants to reinvent every single thing on a car ,it's ridiculous
Can't believe the fastest production car in the world can be bought for around 60k used right now. Thank Mr. Musk and crew.
What might we imagine that Camry driver expressed when you suddenly accelerated past him? I'd guess it was similar to what many people think of Elon Musk.
Jealousy looks bad on everyone.
I normally do not click on Tesla videos because I am not a fan because I think Musk is a *****. I clicked because it's Micah and family and I do not regret it. My opinion on Tesla hasn't changed but I did enjoy this review. Thanks for making it a fun to watch one.
Opposite here. Used to hate all thing Tesla, but now that he’s starting to stand up to the one sided corrupt system he’s earning my interest in his cars.
Glad This channel isn’t biased and still shows Teslas. Others are starting to shy away.
@@gs98999 Standing up to the one sided corrupt system as long as it is making him make more money, isn't it?
@@KeliK1 Corrupt for all or fair for all. Can’t have it one sided like it has been.
Drive the X Plaid too please…
I love Evie! 😂
Same! :)
It is worth noting that the vast majority of Tesla recalls are fixed by over the air updates, no need to take them to a Tesla service center.
That is worth noting. Thanks for mentioning it!
The yoke is better because it looks cool. That’s enough for me
