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?

Glad you've enjoy it :). Noise level is the best compared to all other Tesla. Y was very good but S is even quieter.

This is the best review of the Plaid I’ve seen and I’ve seen them all. Only you and Marques have given useful, honest, non-fanboyish feedback about the yoke. That actually reassures me that I can live with it when I eventually get the Plaid.
I just randomly looked this up today. Good timing for a new and good review
That reaction was priceless when found a rolling pull😂
Great review. Thank you. I’m anticipating delivery soon 😬
Wow. Looks amazing. Want a tip George? Go have your car get a professional ceramic coating. That paint will pop. You will have the only tesla with that much shine. Not only that, your cleaning and car washing will be a breeze. Water will bead and sheet right off the car. It'll be cool. Good video.
Way to go George ! Great review.. man you can talk. I’m sold
Sweet ride George!
Awesome review! Can’t believe they ever thought that yoke 1/2 square was a good idea. Literally trying to reinvent the wheel.
Very nice and i think you picked the colour i probs would pick,go George!
Great review George! After owning the car for a month, can you share what kind of mileage you get per charge?
Great vid. Want to see more plaid.
Congratulations! That’s awesome! I’d probably be fine with the Model S LR.
When you are trying to locate left and right indicator locations - slide your thumb along the raised ridge first - then move thumb up for right or down for left.
What an outstanding review! Really communicated well what its like to own,drive and experience that beautiful machine....New sub here, very impressed, keep up these great reviews!
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.
Great review George. No Lambo for me gonna be a Plaid now!!

Big jump from normal S to Plaid.... totally worth it! I'm taking delivery on Thursday!!!
Perhaps I’m in the minority wanting to see a completely redesigned model s, exterior wise. It looks a bit dated. That said, the new interior of the model S has a very futuristic look ( I love it).

Great video as usual. Love your channel! What about the fit and finish of this vehicle? Does it compare to say a high end Lexus?
I don't know why but the steering wheel just look soo good compared to the old round ones like any other cars may feel a bit wierd the first time but jeez i love it
Fix the streaming channel by switching to terrestrial radio and then back. I think it sometimes hangs when going from WiFi to 5g and switching resets the connection.
Streaming radio has been giving loading errors on my MY recently as well George

You can change gears also from the hazard light location.
i need your advice. Plaid vs Model Y performance as daily driver. need to put golf clubs in trunk. I think 1 set fits in either. I only drive about 60 miles a day. Like fast but worth that much extra money?
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.
liked and sub great vid
Thank you for not getting the white interior. It seems every reviewer of Tesla's has the white and it does look cool, but I prefer the black. Also, that blue is beautiful and it's what I would also choose.
Thanks. Love that car!
Certainly gotta Scary Fast insurance Rate pump..... Curious the difference between the y and this?
Streaming loading error did happened in my Model Y for 1-2 months last fall. It self resolved, possibly with an update?
Love what it offers..but out of my.price range ..but very kool ride
I'm thinking of leasing the Plaid but I live in an apartment and so cannot have a home charger. Any idea how often I would need to charge the Plaid if I didn't charge it every night? Would you do this? There are lots of Tesla and other fast chargers in the area where I live.
George made this edit even more Special
Great review! I've watched a number of Plaid and other EV reviews and this is the best one I've seen. I especially appreciate your comparison with the Model Y. Thanks!!!
The black trim and handles help the blue pop more.
You mentioned streaming radio. I have heard that SiriusXM is not included. Is that true with your fine car?
update, we love your show & spacex. we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both
My only issue is the steering wheel. If you loose control very hard to regain control with that steering wheel .
California Rolls stop sign at 8:36.. 😯
I ordered the long range in blue with cream and standard tempest for a better ride and range.
That’s car looks so cool
I'm really curious how the quality is over a longer period. I have a 2018 model S. The list of problems is just crazy. I hope they fixed all those common issues in this version.
I like that color of blue. Good choice.
George, you got a Tesla from "Alon"... lol Anyway is a good car. Thanks for the review
Great…straight talk, no gloss
Nice car, should be able to pick one up fior $132.00 or 47 LTC here come October.. time to spend some of that $2.80 LTC...
9:59 many people race plaids and go 9.2 and nobody kicked them. Especially with plaid it has incredible chassis so it doesn't need cage.
Dream car. Gonna get a 2023 used plaid in a couple years for around 80k that way I don’t have to pay for the fsd lol

Does driving in plaid lower the range?
I've asked this before but am looking for a few more responses. Has anyone driven both a Plaid and a Taycan Turbo? If so, how does the handling (turn in, sterring feedback, etc,) compare. I find the Taycan is vastly superior to the Model S Long range and was wondering if the Plaid was significantly better.
Wuuuuuuut George drives a Tesla like me?? 😍 We truly are all George
I remember when Elon Musk used to drive this car before anyone knew that there would be a Tesla Plaid. Nice car.
Does it really do 1.99 sec?

You say the price is drawback, but you also compare it to 3 milion dollar limited prodcution supercars, in my opinion is pretty cheap when compared to other supercars that don even get the same perfomance.

The model S plaid just got a time of 1.28 on Laguna seca, making the second fastest production car ever made, faster than every Ferrari and Lamborghini and we are talking about a 2 ton family sedan, yup performance doesn't mean straight line, that's is why the model S plaid is still really fast on the track.

Squeeze your abs when you slam the throttle. That will help you with the headaches. Build up your core.

The yoke is fine. Just stick two fingers in the spoke of the wheel and you can bake super-fast turns. What's so difficult about that?

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.

Air suspension will last forever it's not a wear item especially with modern design and engineering. And tires will last 50.000-60.000 miles they have 30.000 mile warranty. Plaid tires have tweaked compound made for plaid so that could make them last even longer.

Another great benefit of a Tesla is you might as well wrap the steering wheel with barbed wire because you will never touch it as long as you own it.
