    Finally, somebody talks about other things than PLAID acceleration. I am really glad you mentioned the steering wheel feel and many other things that others don't talk about. How about noise levels in comparison to other Tesla cars?

    Great review.... Id forgo the $4500 wheel upgrade and buy after market which looks better and LIGHTER so you get better range. $160k....basically price of a Taycan Turbo but better performance however looks inside and out plus quality and interior ...IDK. I think the best Model S will be the long range which is basically same car and still does 0-60 in 3 seconds which is ridiculous for under $100k.

  • @rayshepherd2479
    @rayshepherd24796 ай бұрын

    The Plaid works great as a daily driver. The base price is now $89,990 with round steering wheel, 19 inch rims, black interior and any exterior color. I actually generally prefer driving it than my other cars. My other cars include a 2007 ZO6 Corvette, and my 52 Chevy hot rod I purchased with my paper route money in 1962 and my 427 Cobra I purchased in 1968. They all sound better and are fun to drive but I enjoy driving the tesla overall. I'm 79 and have to say the Cobra was great as my daily driver when I was in my 20s but now only for short drives. I'm 6'6" and the Corvette is actually the most comfortable for me and I would probably prefer to drive ot if it had adaptive cruise control.

    Each of those Michelin Super Sport tires will run you well over $500. I need to replace mine about 20,000 miles. Once you have adaptive air suspension that remembers where you have set them, it’s hard to go back to regular suspension setup. I have heard that these adaptive air suspension lasts a very long time, but will cost you $8,000 to replace all four air suspension. That’s a good trade off as $8,000 is not that much for having adaptive air suspension for 6-8 years plus.
