Finally, somebody talks about other things than PLAID acceleration. I am really glad you mentioned the steering wheel feel and many other things that others don't talk about. How about noise levels in comparison to other Tesla cars?
I was going Lambo until I figured out there really isn't many places I could drive it without problems. I went Jag F convertible and I'm extremely happy, especially listening to that crackling exhaust. 🎶🎶🎶
@@sa34w its not about the juice, Its about the Prestige that is the badge. The sound, The exclusivity of the car. Telsa lacks all of that. I would still get EV but not Tesla. EQS, Polestar 2 because there is history behind the brands. Here in Stockholm alot of taxis got Telsas and they all got screwed over because of its reliability and lack of service.
Great review.... Id forgo the $4500 wheel upgrade and buy after market which looks better and LIGHTER so you get better range. $160k....basically price of a Taycan Turbo but better performance however looks inside and out plus quality and interior ...IDK. I think the best Model S will be the long range which is basically same car and still does 0-60 in 3 seconds which is ridiculous for under $100k.
When you are trying to locate left and right indicator locations - slide your thumb along the raised ridge first - then move thumb up for right or down for left.
Wow. Looks amazing. Want a tip George? Go have your car get a professional ceramic coating. That paint will pop. You will have the only tesla with that much shine. Not only that, your cleaning and car washing will be a breeze. Water will bead and sheet right off the car. It'll be cool. Good video.
This is the best review of the Plaid I’ve seen and I’ve seen them all. Only you and Marques have given useful, honest, non-fanboyish feedback about the yoke. That actually reassures me that I can live with it when I eventually get the Plaid.
Perhaps I’m in the minority wanting to see a completely redesigned model s, exterior wise. It looks a bit dated. That said, the new interior of the model S has a very futuristic look ( I love it).
Fix the streaming channel by switching to terrestrial radio and then back. I think it sometimes hangs when going from WiFi to 5g and switching resets the connection.
The Plaid works great as a daily driver. The base price is now $89,990 with round steering wheel, 19 inch rims, black interior and any exterior color. I actually generally prefer driving it than my other cars. My other cars include a 2007 ZO6 Corvette, and my 52 Chevy hot rod I purchased with my paper route money in 1962 and my 427 Cobra I purchased in 1968. They all sound better and are fun to drive but I enjoy driving the tesla overall. I'm 79 and have to say the Cobra was great as my daily driver when I was in my 20s but now only for short drives. I'm 6'6" and the Corvette is actually the most comfortable for me and I would probably prefer to drive ot if it had adaptive cruise control.
i need your advice. Plaid vs Model Y performance as daily driver. need to put golf clubs in trunk. I think 1 set fits in either. I only drive about 60 miles a day. Like fast but worth that much extra money?
What an outstanding review! Really communicated well what its like to own,drive and experience that beautiful machine....New sub here, very impressed, keep up these great reviews!
I don't know why but the steering wheel just look soo good compared to the old round ones like any other cars may feel a bit wierd the first time but jeez i love it
update, we love your show & spacex. we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both
I'm thinking of leasing the Plaid but I live in an apartment and so cannot have a home charger. Any idea how often I would need to charge the Plaid if I didn't charge it every night? Would you do this? There are lots of Tesla and other fast chargers in the area where I live.
Each of those Michelin Super Sport tires will run you well over $500. I need to replace mine about 20,000 miles. Once you have adaptive air suspension that remembers where you have set them, it’s hard to go back to regular suspension setup. I have heard that these adaptive air suspension lasts a very long time, but will cost you $8,000 to replace all four air suspension. That’s a good trade off as $8,000 is not that much for having adaptive air suspension for 6-8 years plus.
Air suspension will last forever it's not a wear item especially with modern design and engineering. And tires will last 50.000-60.000 miles they have 30.000 mile warranty. Plaid tires have tweaked compound made for plaid so that could make them last even longer.
Thank you for not getting the white interior. It seems every reviewer of Tesla's has the white and it does look cool, but I prefer the black. Also, that blue is beautiful and it's what I would also choose.
I've asked this before but am looking for a few more responses. Has anyone driven both a Plaid and a Taycan Turbo? If so, how does the handling (turn in, sterring feedback, etc,) compare. I find the Taycan is vastly superior to the Model S Long range and was wondering if the Plaid was significantly better.
Great review! I've watched a number of Plaid and other EV reviews and this is the best one I've seen. I especially appreciate your comparison with the Model Y. Thanks!!!
You say the price is drawback, but you also compare it to 3 milion dollar limited prodcution supercars, in my opinion is pretty cheap when compared to other supercars that don even get the same perfomance.
@@nikbau7642 ? The model S plaid just got a time of 1.28 on Laguna seca, making the second fastest production car ever made, faster than every Ferrari and Lamborghini and we are talking about a 2 ton family sedan, yup performance doesn't mean straight line, that's is why the model S plaid is still really fast on the track.
Does not do 200 mph as we speak .They are governed to 163 and the trap speed is 152 mph not 155 mph in stock form. Once the software update is available then it will see 200 mph.
Plaid might be a lot faster, but my Jag F convertible sounds sooooo good when you put down the pedal. I don't even turn on the radio with the top down.
That's the point my friend. Some cars are fast, some sounds lovely, some handles well. It's up to the individual what he wants and what he doesn't. Everyone should respect each other's opinion rather than explaining them 'this car is better for me so it's the best for everyone'. Everyone whether it be tesla fanboys or any other car's fanboys wants to say their choice should be everyone's choice.
@@bestprice1776 I hate both sides actually. I also hate people who say electric cars are crap and also the people who say gas cars are crap. Both are amazing. It's just that one's opinion isn't relevant to everyone.
@@IDK-uv9vk both are great but it isn’t sustainable to have everyone drive gas cars with the amount of pollution. Yes EVs are not perfect either. But they are better.
You do know that the sound can be played via a computer, it basically is like saying a electric car is quiet, tesla can be noisier but Jag cannot be quieter unless it's in a garage. Besides the gasoline car is basically useless when you consider that cars except ones in track is basically can only do so much
Congratulations!! Very nice car George. I still can't get past not having a loud tuned exhaust on a sports car. Just seems way too expensive for a family daily driver, not that the take off wouldn't be fun sometimes.
I guess the real Godzilla out there is the Rimac Nevera - I’m a bit surprised that there haven’t been any videos drag racing the two yet, but I’m sure they will come (and yes, I know that it costs 20X as much!)
Outperform a Bugatti? Depends on which Bugatti. It may be quicker than a Chiron 0-60 mph, 0-100 mph, 0-150 mph or even in a rolling race; quarter mile, but beyond quarter mile or even half mile, once it's about 200 mph and climbing, the Tesla is now Alset - all set to lose and eat Chiron's dust, right? Quicker to a certain extent, BUT not faster. Not the same. End of story. ;-)
Finally, somebody talks about other things than PLAID acceleration. I am really glad you mentioned the steering wheel feel and many other things that others don't talk about. How about noise levels in comparison to other Tesla cars?
Glad you've enjoy it :). Noise level is the best compared to all other Tesla. Y was very good but S is even quieter.
Look up to the Marques Browlee video
@@DriversOnly quieter that's the problem I still like the rumble of a V8 engine

Perhaps I’m in the minority wanting to see a completely redesigned model s, exterior wise. It looks a bit dated. That said, the new interior of the model S has a very futuristic look ( I love it).
I think the wider tires and body make the s FINALLY look good... like really good!
naaa this is the ultimate sleeper sedan and looks sexy asf, bust them supercar skulls
Congratulations! That’s awesome! I’d probably be fine with the Model S LR.
Streaming radio has been giving loading errors on my MY recently as well George
New bug maybe?
Super jealous. I got the 2021 M3P. It’s insane fast. I can’t imagine this beast! 🍻
The blue is the best looking color nice choice
Awesome review! Can’t believe they ever thought that yoke 1/2 square was a good idea. Literally trying to reinvent the wheel.
Fix the streaming channel by switching to terrestrial radio and then back. I think it sometimes hangs when going from WiFi to 5g and switching resets the connection.
I would like to see how fast it could lap the Nürburgring?
That would be very interesting to see if it can last a lap without overheating
Buy one and do it
Great review. Thank you. I’m anticipating delivery soon 😬
Big jump from normal S to Plaid.... totally worth it! I'm taking delivery on Thursday!!!

I don't know why but the steering wheel just look soo good compared to the old round ones like any other cars may feel a bit wierd the first time but jeez i love it
Certainly gotta Scary Fast insurance Rate pump.....
Curious the difference between the y and this?
The yoke is fine. Just stick two fingers in the spoke of the wheel and you can bake super-fast turns. What's so difficult about that?
I was against the yoke until I did a test drive. Then I thought it was not bad. Maybe I'll get it on my S Plaid.
Great video as usual. Love your channel! What about the fit and finish of this vehicle? Does it compare to say a high end Lexus?

You can change gears also from the hazard light location.

That reaction was priceless when found a rolling pull😂
You mentioned streaming radio. I have heard that SiriusXM is not included. Is that true with your fine car?
My only issue is the steering wheel. If you loose control very hard to regain control with that steering wheel .

same color as my truck... thanks 4 video. be kind.
George -just wondering what is your line of work?
Streaming loading error did happened in my Model Y for 1-2 months last fall. It self resolved, possibly with an update?
The black trim and handles help the blue pop more.
I ordered the long range in blue with cream and standard tempest for a better ride and range.
9:59 many people race plaids and go 9.2 and nobody kicked them. Especially with plaid it has incredible chassis so it doesn't need cage.
I've asked this before but am looking for a few more responses. Has anyone driven both a Plaid and a Taycan Turbo? If so, how does the handling (turn in, sterring feedback, etc,) compare. I find the Taycan is vastly superior to the Model S Long range and was wondering if the Plaid was significantly better.
Dream car. Gonna get a 2023 used plaid in a couple years for around 80k that way I don’t have to pay for the fsd lol
Sweet ride George!
Does it also drive automatically?
Does it really do 1.99 sec?
Great vid. Want to see more plaid.
Awesome review
I hope the steering wheel is something that you can get used to
Does driving in plaid lower the range?
I would wrap or paint the chrome badges in the back to match the rims.
Great review, thanks for your thoughts!
lol @ rolling stop at 8:35
What about when your on a plane and they advance the thrust for takeoff, does it come close to flooring the car?
No, the Tesla is much quicker.
Squeeze your abs when you slam the throttle. That will help you with the headaches. Build up your core.

Anyway is a good car. Thanks for the review
