    The Plaid I own has the 19s and gets realistically 325 - 350 miles of range. I got mine with FSD and an added 1yr warranty with 4k miles for $58k. Had several issues but Tesla covered all of it and now I couldn't imagine loving any car more.

      Original range of a MSP is 396 with 19s, and 348 with 21s.

  • @deanmcmanis9398
    @deanmcmanis9398 10 часов назад +3

    It is a fair review. And it can be tricky if you don't have a key car and do have a dead phone. But if you bought a Plaid this would not be an issue, because you would have a key card as a backup for your phone. The steering Yoke was mostly a first year thing. They added a round steering wheel as standard, with the yoke as an option. I like the E-Ray (love that blue) but the electric motor is just for AWD and performance. Zero Eco pretense. The regular (lane keeping, cruise control) "Autopilot" should be free and working fine. The Plaid can be driven normally and then be as economical as a Prius, but as quick (in a straight line) as a Bugatti. So it is more about the particular balance between lightning acceleration and practicality that suits you best. You should try out the new Model 3 Performance, which runs high 10s in the 1/4 mile, but it is lighter, better handling, and is $50K-$60K new. Of course it is relatively generic, but it has Stingray acceleration, and decent handling, plus daily driver comfort and practicality. I got a used model Y for the price of a Civic, and it is an impressive daily driver. I've also got a Viper, so I understand that mindset as well.

    Craig, I've thought of an incredible investment idea for you in Florida. MAYBE..
    A parking garage built in a popular beach area somewhere around in Florida. The garage should be mostly hurricane and flood resistant, so no issues there. Maintenance should be easy and cheap. Best part, great income and more parking! How much does it cost to park around a beach? $10, $20, $30 for all day? It's an investment, so it's long term income for the life of the building. Don't get me wrong, that could be a $10 million dollar investment. But if you can park 300 cars or more, per day. Well that business never closes, and makes money 24/7
    Just a thought I had watching your video. If parking isn't an issue, then forget the idea. Lol

    I would only want an electric car as a second car, but if I was buying one I would definitely want a Plaid. I would definitely pick it over a Cybertruck. The reason I would want one is for the extreme, instant power and the Plaid is definitely the best at that. For normal daily use I would much rather have a gas car.

    EV owners tend to be zealots, so yes they probably hate on you. Too bad, the truth hurts at times, but reality is reality. You point out about the door handles can freeze, a very valid point for a large portion of the US. A huge issue in Canada, and other high latitude countries. There is also the loss of range associated with frigid temperatures. That was painfully obvious last winter, with all the stranded EV's abandoned by frustrated owners, unable to access chargers. I applaud your honesty in pointing out the good and bad with EVs.
