I want a Model Z, similar design and size to the Y, but with much more ground clearance like a Cybertruck. With: * Model S center consol setup. That storage setup is ultra-genius. * regular dual stalks. PRND stalk and Lights-&-Wiper stalk * normal round steering wheel * extra steering wheel switches kinda like on the yoke, for some handy shortcuts. Not for turn signals, of course NOT, it has a stalk for that. * physical buttons/switches/knobs array for Air Conditioning control, below the display

I turned in MYP lease to a 23 Model S LR and I love it! Build quality is substantially better. It feels and rides like a luxury automobile. And it is quite the head turner!

Forget about the plaid, the long range is better in many ways.

Thanks for the video. I have an OG Model S from 2013 and 150,000 mi. I've considered replacing it with a Model Y but nothing compares to the comfort and quiet of the Model S suspension. It's not just the softer ride, it's also the filtering of vibrations of all frequencies that make for a very relaxing drive. Even a 2023 MY, although substantially more comfortable than earlier Model 3 and Model Y, still feels a bit unrefined. I test drove a 2023 LR Model S and that filtering quite is still there and even better than mine. Also, the variable height can help in deep snow, unpaved roads, or steep driveways.

I have a 2022 MYP and love the revised S, but until Tesla addresses V2H charging I'll hang on to our MYP a bit longer. But all in all, this was a great video. Thank you.

I would love to see it able to store maps so that the navigation system still works when you travel to areas without cell service. When I drive in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the maps gradually go blank except for a thin line where you are driving but it can no longer navigate to your destination, especially if you stop the car. All my previous cars have had factory navigation with everything stored in memory. GPS was in the hard drive and DVD or regular CD’s by region before that. I’m told that the Lucid’s can store maps offline.

Hi @Electric Canuck being in Canada how does your Tsela S handle, perform in the winter months? Does the battery hold a charge the same as in the summer?

@ElectricCanuck

10 ай бұрын

Hi! I got my Model S at the end of February, so I didn't have many sub zero days. I expect cold weather performance to be similar to my Model Y. With my Model Y, at 0°C, I would lose about 15% of range. At -20°C, I would lose 30% of range. This is typical for Tesla vehicles, and how batteries behave in the cold. It is important on super cold days to precondition the battery before leaving on your trip. On the flip side, in the summer, I get more than rated range. Cheers.

The ride is very customizable because of the adaptive air suspension. You can set it to automatically adjust to the driving conditions, or dial in a very firm or soft ride. On long trips, I set the air suspension to the comfort setting. It’s very smooth and gentle in that setting. The seats are a bit larger, and I find them more comfortable then the 3 or Y. Lastly, the Model S is noticeably quieter in the cabin when driving compared to the 3 or the Y. Cheers.

Having had larger wheels on my Model Y, I was concerned about ride quality. That's why I opted for the stock 19"s on the Model S.

It floats like a butterfly on the highway and even rougher roads, and stings like a bee in the corners. Very happy with my decision.

Model S is my favourite

i like the wood trim on the inside, looks luxurious. i just don't get why everything is black on the outside, no chrome, no satin aluminum or any premium contrast, whereas on the inside, there is plenty. i d wish they give customers the choice between everything black, or as it used to be some chrome/metal trim.

I hear you on the ride height. I don’t think about it anymore, but I did for the first couple of weeks. I think you just get used to it. The S is still a big car, despite riding lower. This may be why I’m not having a difficult time with it. You can raise the suspension to compensate a bit as well. That was a long preamble to ‘I thought I would miss the ride height, but I don’t’. Everyone is different though. Definitely take the S for a test drive to get a sense of how much it may or may not bother you. Best wishes with your decision!

I think I paid an extra $110 for the Model Y tag. They go by weight I think. Our nighttime electric rate is 5 cents per KWH so driving the Tesla costs almost nothing.
