In 20 years time, that Plaid will be on its third battery swap, costing $30k by then, which no 17 year old will be able to afford. Not to mention that the flash memory will be completely corrupted by then, the screens yellow or not functioning, and most of the other electronics probably not functioning by then. This is not the kind of car that will last 20 years. They are designed for 5 years. The door handle presenter motors will probably not even make it to 5 years. These are disposable cars.

I watched a plaid floor it from a dead stop through an intersection yesterday at the green, genuinely the fastest thing I’ve ever seen on a road, it didn’t even make sense. Before I even knew what was happening it was through the intersection and didn’t make a peep. Absolutely wild machine.
Something not a lot of people mention in this car is how well it can keep going after 60MPH unlike previous teslas, It still pulls just as hard from 70-130 compared to 0-60

My favorite thing about a Model S (and X) in general (besides it’s insane speed), is it has such a cool augmented reality gauge cluster, that shows every small car, SUV, motorcycle, truck, and everything in its respective lane. ITS SO COOL! And also because, they usually have physical buttons.
I don’t think G Forces from insane acceleration ever gets old, EV or gas powered car. Loved the review!
Rode passenger in one for the first time last week and it was amazing
whats most impresive is where he films his videos. It looks like mid after noon and its absolutely clear, I so wish my city was like this omg

I know it’s not a Plaid but did test drive the Model Y Performance yesterday and I was astonished! Amazing G force

Awesome review, thanks! 😃👍
Can confirm that you get used to a yoke. I actually prefer it. Also, at 93%, your regen was limited. You can set it to blend the brakes in when regen is limited for a more consistent regen feel.
First time seeing the cream interior on KZread. It looks incredible! Definitely my pick
I have a vehicle that does 0-60 in 4.1 seconds and it made me very happy for the last 5 years, I test drove a Model 3 Performance today and I was like MY GOD. I can't imagine a S Plaid. I WISH I made more money. I COULD afford one, but I'd have to get a room mate and eat cheap. Almost tempted to. And no, it won't get old. Not for me.
Finnaly you made a video about Tesla Model S! xDD I respect that Miles! Keep it up, because your videos are very good. PS: Drive the car on California State Route 1 along the Pacific Ocean if you can, because the view is the best.
That feeling of this level of acceleration is so addictive.
That force of the acceleration never gets old.

Great review!!!
Makes me think back to my first car, an 89 Mercury Topaz! Times have changed. It’s bittersweet to me because the absence of technology allowed us to communicate better, be outside all the time and just dig our teeth into nature. I’m not saying we’re doomed but smart people limit tech. We’ve seen where smart homes can burden people and I wonder how long until cars are limited via tech by big government. Great review though, lol.
I used to have a decent Scalextric setup when I was a boy. Watching you drive on the twisties, the bumps corners and acceleration convinced me I was almost sat inside a Scalextric car! That is insane, well done for an excellent video.
my buddy has one and its absolutely insane to experience
If you went in to the Controls you could have tapped the Display Icon and tilt it to the right and left.
You missed some things. 1) manual dive mode. 2) horn can honk by covering the entire right side with your hand.
Amazing Tesla !!
The fact that you hit 60 mph in the intersection itself ..... WOW.....

In a situation where you need to lay on the horn, if you just hover your palm over the scroll wheel it will also honk the horn.
Which would you choose between a lucid air grand touring or a Tesla model S Plaid?
For the money they're asking, their plaid models should come with the carbon ceramic brakes as standard, with an option to get them on the lesser models.

does anything you've driven come close to the acceleration of the plaid?
A friend of mine let me drive his Model S Plaid and it literally is a massive gut punch on the acceleration going 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. As nice as it is though there are some build quality flaws that make me avoid buying one in the future such as leaking issues but otherwise it's definitely a fun car.

11:03 the man was too stung to speak
Wait till you fly aerobatics and pull some 3 dimensional G-forces. And then do it in formation or flying through the valley NOE style. It is an even better experience than just a straight line 0-60 or 0-200. Best experience I had was coming around a river valley bend at 50 ft and banking hard left over a random fishing boat.
Current price is $89,990 with round steering wheel, 19 inch wheels, black interior in any color. Ultra red was a $3,000 option. The yolk steering wheel, white interior and 21 inch wheels are extra cost options.
I would be cool to see you review some older cars and compare them these. Something like a 2010 E550 (5.5l NA V8) and see how much they have evolved 👍🏽
the new horn is brilliant from a safety stand point. I'm not a tesla fan, but the button enables you to keep both hands on the wheel and maintain better control of the vehicle vs. 1 hand on the horn and 1 hand on the wheel. Wish other manufacturers transitioned to this.
@Nicki0920

Yes thats what I think they thought was that. if in an emergency situation they don't want you to hit the Airbag so just in case you don't break your hand and limit dangers. Yet, I see why its controversial they still have a few things to change but. I heard that they can just put the palm on the horn and it will sound just like pushing the "horn"
Love the review! Just picked up my Model S long range and I'm extremely happy with it! One thing I wish they would include with it is track mode. The model 3 has it and the model S is just as quick 0-60 and even quicker after that. I don't see why they would have to limit it to the plaid only.

Because track mode is for the performance vehicles only. Your model s might be just as quick as the 3 performance to 60 but it doesn’t have the same brakes, suspension or performance tires

Needs buttons for standard functions like rearview window heater, seat heaters and ventilation, inside air circulation etc. 5. Needs a horn in the center of the steering yolk 6. Needs a manual direction control lever/thing for ventilation outlets 7. (This is the MOST important thing) Needs a better quality control from the factory!!! Otherwise a good car
