#Tesla #ModelS #LongRange
Great video. Just getting my S in two weeks. Been hesitant to get S or Y mainly due to the expensive insurance , less space in the back and ofc S is much more expensive but man I love the design plus air suspension and better chairs...
how much is insurance for an S? do you live in cali also?
@@Zaaim I'm in Sweden :) Cost monthly is around 100 dollar the first 4 years. But if i get into a accident the crazy amount i have to pay is around 1100 dollar even if its not my fault. This is not something you have on other cars. No idea why this is the case!
I live in Finland and never heard of that before in here. Although I never did a research on it yet but dang. Are you gonna be paying your insurance once every year, 3 times a year or perhaps 4 times during the day?
@@Zaaim 115 dollars per month with 500 deductible. Geico
@@Zaaim I live in Fremont Cali I pay 150 a month with $500 deductible I'm 26 no points on license and I have AAA
Highly recommend installing an automatic frunk like that Hansshow kit. Well worth the money to automate usage of the frunk because you will use it a lot more!
I’ll look at it now, thanks 😊
Get ready to have your warranty claims denied! Tesla is on a corporate mission to find reasons to deny claims. You should hear the stories on the owner's forums!
I'm going to look into that brand. I want a power frunk. I love mine.
Hansshow power frunk units have caused some serious damage from the frunk popping open on the freeway and while driving
I know the wheels you have get better range but the 21" look so much better...
Yes, 19" wheels means you have given up on living your best life. Give me 21's. or give me death.
only a 9yo kiddie would get 21s, you loose range, comfort, noise, speed (fact, car with 21 is slower) and tires are way more expensive just for looks 😂
Totally agree.
Removing the aero covers only cost me about 2% efficiency. '22 MS with same wheels tires as you.
@@lukabosnjak3829most people aren’t boring like u😂😂
I really love the Model S!
19:01 I recognize that lounge on Interstate 5 in Kettleman City! They now have a huge charging center across from In’n’Out in Kettleman City. I think that Tesla is getting ready to share some of their Superchargers, but that’s just my hypothesis.
I can see that.
I have one just like this and love it. Battery has dropped some. Only 13,000 miles.
Yeah! If you want something done right fix it yourself. Well done!
A lot of tech for the price. I am suprised that used Tesla Plaids from 2021 are going for around $70k right now with FSD.
Wow, .45 kWh! Really drives home how cheap our off peak charging at .049 kWh is. I’d still own the car even at those higher rates though. I love it!
How to put the Tesla app on the locked screen phone? I have sunglasses on all the time, unlock the phone is difficult 😞
How is the ride quality in your car? especially comparison to Germany cars?
The calipers are red on the Plaid only. At first they were all black but the Plaid now comes with red calipers.
Really love the video the car is fabulous loving all the extras I could never afford one. I purchased a new car this year I usually change every 3 years . I really love the carbon fibre look they have in the Volkswagen now . Really love your Tesla thanks for the video 😎🇮🇪👏
Thank you
I was hoping you’d provide the actual $$$ for insurance you pay, not just saying Tesla insurance is the cheapest 22:00
So how much was your insurance? You kept saying it's expensive but not revealing the price. I'm from the UK and a year insurance for the MS is £1100 now. My first year £700
are there issues on tires getting bald fast?
yes if you use the power a lot
Great review. Appreciate the honest commentary.
Have you driven the S in snow? Any thoughts on its handling in such environments, especially uphill/downhill?
It's all dependent on tires. I mean, c'mon, it's 4WD and it's advanced traction control.
Last weekend I was in R-2 Cali chain controls with PSAS4s on my MSP. CHP was turning cars back, people on the side of the road were getting chains put on. The cop just said to me, “Dual motor? Have a good night,” and waved me on. It made the pass like a champ, unplowed and leading the pack over fresh snow. No drama.
Man you bought this in 2021...what was the cost ?
About seats it took me almost 2 years to find out the best position and after I can stay even 12 hours in a car it’s all about the steering wheel distance and angle of the back.
Great review 👌
is that true, new Model S' have the horn in the center? Are the ventilated seats any good?
Not sure about the horn part but the seat ventilation is 7/10. For comparison I think the f-150 22 seat ventilation is better a 9/10
The brandnew SLR I drove a week ago had still no horn under the airbag. Seat ventilation was very strong almost to strong above setting 1.
@@realmcerono Thank you!!!
Compared to model y do you notice the presence of air suspension? Ride more smooth?
I have both. Night and day difference. The Y is horrible. The S is a high quality ride.
Which year is your model Y? The new ones that recently came out have much much bettee suspension than the old ones. They softened it a lot
Tire Discount including road hazard insurance. Tesla does not offer road hazard for tires.
If it wasn't for the fact Tesla supplies the UK with China built cars I absolutely NEVER would have bought one. But they do, and as a result we don't have anywhere NEAR as much trouble with 2021 onwards cars!
Does China make the Model S?
@@JetFire9 no, S and X is Freemont California
@@Puta4Evah I knew that. Was checking if Dan Paul knew that too.
My 2020 M3 is from Freemont and its one of the best I ever saw. So its kind of a lottery with Freemont.
Hey, the CA plant is in Fremont (not Freemont) in case you need to google Tesla locations.
Just drove the lucid Air touring and the model A back to back. Under no circumstances would I chose the model A ahead of the lucid.
A?
@@anaccount7923 smdh
Model A...lol at myself,
should have been Model S
Why
If you don’t mind me asking, how much is your insurance compared to your model Y? I’ve been considering getting a Model S myself, currently on a model 3 SR+ and my wife has a Model Y performance.
My Y was about 80 for just that car, my S is 180 by itself
Link to carbon fiber spoiler? And other carbon fiber wrap stuff
I have the exact same vehicle as you and took delivery in Feb, 2022. This was my third Tesla (2016 S, 2017 X). I thought I would love this car, but am ambivalent now. I do like the Yoke-fun and comfortable. I must have gotten a "bad" one in regards to battery. I stayed at 405 miles "fully charged" for about 5 months, but noticed it dropped significantly and by 10 months, was down to 373 fully charged, despite only charging to 80 percent each evening. Not having physical buttons and relying on the screen to activate features is distracting and I think a safety issue while driving. One really needs to use the voice activation to operate features otherwise you might get into trouble. (eg. going into the menus just to open the glovebox, for example). I have lots of complaints about the car but it is fun to drive. I believe this will be my last Tesla. I think I'm going back to a gasoline vehicle in the future-cheaper, more functional, more versatile, cheaper to insure, less property tax, and in North Carolina-avoid the electric vehicle additional registration fee. I've enjoyed the ride, time to return home.
I feel the same. The novelty is wearing off, and the rest of the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
Thank you for writing the response. As a former Tesla Refresh owner, I appreciate you having input as well. Some of the things the author talked/disliked about the car is nothing new for old Tesla owners. Still very on the fence about moving up to a newer MS.
@@cdavidhord really? I’ve been driving 2 EVs for 8 years and don’t plan to ever go back. To me the performance perks outweigh the small cons.
Does the long range can adjust the suspension high?
Yes
@@HotshotTek Does both side are same high? The demo I drove it was 38 on the left and 40 on the right.
Any idea if they will be offering a performance update on the Model S Long Range? If they could get 1/4 mile times down into the low 10's that would be a great performance alternative to the Plaid...not saying its slow as is though😂
Wait how do you access cheetah mode? I can’t find it in my 22 MSLR
Enable drag race mode. It’s in the same setting where you can find insane mode.
why these high technology cars down have alarms tell you somebody is breaking into your car and why they haven't made tint that can be changed with a press of button ??? they keep making cars go faster but we need them to go father range. Don't understand why they odin have blind spot maker I was looking for the when I test drove in Atlanta
The blind spot this is stupid because if I’m changing lanes I’m looking at my mirror not the screen
The cameras do look like the flicker on camera
It’s the FPS of the camera. In real life it doesn’t look like that.
I have a model 3 and it looks awesome. Not "riced out" at all. Turd.
Sorry big boss but it’s the truth. I don’t think adding a big Honda Civic wing is add more horsepower. 💀
@@HotshotTek lol not all of us add giant wings to our Model 3’s.
Sucks u never stated how much you pay for insurance .
He commented that it’s $180…not hard to look thru comments
He stated in the vid about $180/month or $2,160/years. Very expensive but justified since the dual motor S is supercar fast.
@@willissmalls7100 he did state $180, maybe you just missed it?
Coming from the UK its just strange to me theres no number plate (you guys would call it a licence plate i guess) on the front. is that the general law in the US? Got to say it looks nice in white. I rented one for a week a couple years ago. Lovely car , too big for me as an everyday car (I needed luggage space for that week).
states that do not currently require a front-mounted license plate:
Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Michigan
Mississippi
New Mexico
North Carolina
Ohio
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Tennessee
West Virginia
@@Sonny_V Alaska does require a front plate. I don't know about the others U spoke of.
Tesla feels you should just be happy they allowed you to pay a large sum of money to own their product and stop complaining. Since most owners accepts these issues they may be right.
True. But so many big companies are deciding they can get away without giving good customer service. It's a sad state we are in, and the democrats are the root cause of the bad attitudes. Look at how they are ruining big cities. Stop voting for dems.
"i already slayed a ferrari" this dude talks like a 12 year old.
Well, well, well, looks like we've got a master of observation here! Did it take you all of your 12 brain cells to come up with that one?
@@HotshotTek only 4 were needed
And yet you still struggled to count to four.
Loyal jepang kalah menang tak dukung.
Only maintenance is tires? No wheel alignments? No 2-year brake fluid changes? No 1-year wiper blade changes? No 3-year cabin filter changes? No 3-year hepa filter changes? No 3-year A/C desiccant changes? No 6250 mile tire rotations? No annual brake service to lubricate calipers? Man, you love neglecting recommended services and pretending Tesla's are maintenance free. By the way, get ready to do 2 oil and filter changes for the drive units because they love to say these things are filled for life, but we know that's a lie, along with the coolant that breaks down over time and loses its corrosion protection. And while you are at it, please add some wiper fluid! OMG, how people lie!!
Powertrain wise. Zero maintenance dude. Get one yourself and find out. Only major one is wheels.
If you’re wondering what’s the Service intervals. The correct answer is this not what you said.
Brake fluid health check every 2 years (replace if necessary).
A/C desiccant bag replacement every 6 years.
Cabin air filter replacement every 2 years.
Clean and lubricate brake calipers every year or 12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an area where roads are salted during winter
Rotate tires every 10,000 km or if tread depth difference is 1.5 mm or greater, whichever comes first
Now compared that to a gas car.
@@HotshotTek I have 3 Tesla's you brokey, including a 2023 Model S. They are not alien technology and they need maintenance just like any car. You basically get to skip an annual engine oil change, but you would be stupid to never change the gearbox oil, just like you would be stupid to skip transmission and differential oil changes. You have so much to learn.
Can you Open and Close hatch from inside?
Yes
