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.

I’m 71. I have muscle memory to adjust radio by, reaching down. My 2015 Camry has radio controls up top. AC controls are down.. Not thinking, not looking, I do not reach up to adjust radio. It drives me CRAZY! lol. 😆 I loved your review of cybertruck on road trip and running out of juice and getting a recharge!
I got dropped off by a crazy girl one morning in a grocery store parking lot an hour away from home with a dead phone. There isn’t Uber here and After many challenges I finally found a ride home. I my girlfriend the same story about dead phone and lost my key. Bravo Craig
Just a couple of years ago people were paying $50k+ over sticker for Plaids. Imagine paying $180k for a Plaid and two years later it’s worth $60-65k talk about suckers.
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.
The Plaid’s $15k Track Pack upgrade includes carbon ceramic brakes, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires, and Zero-G forged aluminum wheels, along with the 1,020 horsepower tri-motor setup.
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.
I have owned bmw, Audi, Saleen, etc. my 21 Plaid blows all the cars out of the water when it comes to handling. Not sure why you say it’s not a race car.
Not a fan of Tesla's. Model S Plaid to me just looks like any of the other models except the truck. So your key fob is basically your phone or the card TY I learned something today.
Dude can’t believe you guys moved to Florida. Live in Seacoast Nh and watched your vids since like 25k subs. Did u sell your Winni house? Congrats on the crazy RUclips success, my algorithm never shows me your new uploads except for this one
Teslas depreciated worse than a Jag or Range Rover. The build quality is crap...don't get the appeal. But if you must have an electric car, lease it don't buy it
I have owned bmw, Audi, Saleen, etc. my 21 Plaid blows all the cars out of the water when it comes to handling. Not sure why you say it’s not a race car. You must have had the car on medium mode and not on sport. You do realize it’s on bags right?
The original CT came with all options, the cheaper one comes with much less so its not really comparable. All expensive cars lose a shit ton of value the second you drive it off the lot.
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.
Its just boring. Tesla fans will justify the lack of looks, interior, and sound just to say they finally can afford a quick car but truth is people that are mega rich never drive a tesla. They still get that new porsche,bmw, lambo,etc..
Hey Craig, is someone that lives up north in the cold in Wisconsin? My family has been thinking about moving south to Florida. I would be interested to hear some of the differences for you from New Hampshire to Florida..
You coming to Daytona and the turkey run? Easy trip up 95 for yah now. I’ll be there, but it’s not really a place to buy in my opinion. Everyone thinks they’ve got gold. Maybe Sunday for someone desperate.
this new channel you have Craig doesn't appear to be cutting it with your old watchers... many of us still stuck in the grind and it appears as though you are retireing and bragging.... hmmmm
Whew...I'm glad the wife understood the "Falling asleep waiting for my phone to recharge" explanation. Sometimes those explanations can go left. Thanks for another cool video. 🥲
I can see Elon Musk calling his team after listening to the card key explanation and asking, "I thought we made the S class idiot-proof". We did too, boss.
I remember many years ago a friend had a four door sedan, it was fast. But it was boring. My Mustang was technically slower, but handled better and looked better. To me, this is where the Plaid is, sure it may be fast but overall (yawn) Agreed Hybrid is better than EVs
Sad your Tesla has to be track focused with 1000hp for $60k. They make track pack! Gas cars have 600hp and cost 2-3 times the price, justified by said saying it’s fast on the track 😂. Cars are suppose to depreciate and teslas are dropping. Gas vehicles never got the memo.
😅😅imagine paying 110,000 for a refrigerator on wheels and it has issues never buy anything that brand new wait till they work out all of the flaws with it
Haven't you had enough of EVs? They are not the future. Are they instant torque? Yes, so what if you live in an apartment with no where to charge but a charge station and I live in a rural town in PA. Doesn't work.
I love the styling of the plaid however that cyber truck in my opinion is literally the ugliest looking vehicle I've ever seen in my life. Ford Pintos were better looking and that's not saying much
I would not have an electric car if you gave it to me, I would just sell it, take the money and buy a gas powered vehicle. No offense, but the Cyber truck is the ugliest car ever produced.
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.
All of my loaners had FSD but if you hit the 85mph speed limit they disable FSD until the next trip.
Leech.
I'm sure if u had a couple million dollars more u could easily find a car u love more. 😂
Mr know it all......nice see you watching a proper motoring show.....maybe get some tips for your crap show?

Nice that they gave you a loaner at least. I dropped off my M3 for an FSD upgrade and they don't want to give me a loaner.

When you can pay 180k for a car, you’re not a sucker, you’re a winner. Facts.
@ yeah losing a $120k in two years is winning lol
@@neilgunns8391No, people who came into money will blow it. The people who earned their money are more frugal than you think.
There’s a whole generation of suckers that are willing to pay much for stuff they don’t need.
@@MrJdebest so much truth.
Good video...I think the Model S is the best looking Tesla. I would definitely consider one for daily use.

coming from a guy who owns a cyber truck, bet he wishes could leave that turd😂😂
Oh man, I was looking forward to seeing you get your truck back and see everything working ☹️
Craig, getting a urus soon??? 👀 now that the cybertruck is “gone”
If he didn't buy all the toys he buys he could have had one years ago.
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.
Newsflash, the Cyberbeast rolls at 2.6 seconds 0-60. It is definitely extreme, instant power.

They have been replacing peeling yolks with an updated version.
Driving in Australia with Flip-Flops you will get a $800 fine
Is this true?
Really? Do that all the time.
I did notice Craig in flip flops and nice Florida lol. Enjoy the videos
Zero chance I ever buy another Tesla.
thx Craig
The Paid is stupid fast, but the LR is more than fast enough & I can't justify the extra cost to go plaid
it's not for brokies
Dude can’t believe you guys moved to Florida. Live in Seacoast Nh and watched your vids since like 25k subs. Did u sell your Winni house? Congrats on the crazy RUclips success, my algorithm never shows me your new uploads except for this one
Yes I did
Craig I believe that the Model S Plaid has "Track Mode" on it.
Teslas depreciated worse than a Jag or Range Rover. The build quality is crap...don't get the appeal. But if you must have an electric car, lease it don't buy it
Elon said that teslas appreciates in value as you use them 😂😂😂
Hey Craig, you mentioned the range on plaid at 251, but their website lists it at 348 miles. Hope you’re enjoying FL
As always, he is wrong.
Thank you for sharing your experiences

I cant believe Tesla allowed a car to be delivered to customers with half the options not working. So you were impressed 4:29
Thanks for sharing !
how long ago was this recorded? my friend has had autopilot on his cybertruck for a couple months
My Cyberbeast has AP and FSD. Both work very well.
Its just boring. Tesla fans will justify the lack of looks, interior, and sound just to say they finally can afford a quick car but truth is people that are mega rich never drive a tesla. They still get that new porsche,bmw, lambo,etc..
The mega rich have all the cars you listed and a Tesla. 😆
I was thinking the same thing. A fast yawn 🤷🏼
Wait, your Cybertruck has no cruise control? Now that is funny😂😅😊
You summed it up well. The foundation series....Who cares.
Hey Craig. Is that an Atlas Golf Cart?
Is it fast in a straight line though?
Hey Craig, is someone that lives up north in the cold in Wisconsin? My family has been thinking about moving south to Florida. I would be interested to hear some of the differences for you from New Hampshire to Florida..
Craig can at least Afford the vehicle's he has and doesn't drive junk, while Randall always has a field of Shit 😂
If I could have any car in the world free, but had to keep it and couldn't sell it. It would be a Fors Raptor Hennessy edition.
What it be for you?

This guy is a special kind of stupid.
You clearly don't have a Cyberbeast if the S plaid is knocking you out. The base Cybertruck is a joke for acceleration.
Whining about the yoke. How original.
Would you call this channel flying Wheels the car review channel that's all he seems to do is review cars

I have a phone case

Don’t expect to get a loner vehicle from a dealer again after this video. 😂 I’d be furious if I was them.
The video title.
Why?
Overpriced garbage teslas like all EVs
You left out the part about the strip club and the stripper in your story. Hope your wife doesn't read this.
🤣
I like to drive with my chin. Knee driving is for someone without hands.
Haven't you had enough of EVs? They are not the future. Are they instant torque? Yes, so what if you live in an apartment with no where to charge but a charge station and I live in a rural town in PA. Doesn't work.
EVs don't work for everyone. Not everyone lives in an apartment. Charging at home is cheaper than driving a gas 9 times out of 10

Sound like a blue donkey Elon h8tr to me.
Well yeah
Sounds like you don’t have one or have had one
Probably has never driven one so idk what your yapping abt
