When it comes to evs in general, the biggest problems is charging. Telsa does a great job when it comes to route planning and having a charging network that works.
Yea, it's beautiful. I rented a Model S for a week, and they were plenty. I never for once was worried bout running out of juice. But of course I stayed along interstates and highways. Out in rural towns and fm roads, that could get a bit sketcchy
Yeah way off on the MSRP Joe. The CF treatments shown don't count and even if they did, no more than $4k in mods. Giveaways have become a pervasive annoyance to the RUclips car community. Let's keep things Raiti and be accurate with the numbers.
@@berniemadoff7837 are you under the impression that the slavery in cobalt mines just started for batteries? Because they use cobalt in the process of making gasoline as well. It's been going on since before any of us were born. But to be fair 1st world countries are kinda built on the backs of disadvantaged 3rd world countries.
The steering yoke is awesome. So much more visibility and it's actually easy to use once you get used to it and get a little muscle memory. It took me about a month.
I'm a sedan guy. Always owned sedans, this car is something unique, Plaid is too fast for car enthusiast like me- base Model S is already insanely fast so I am going with base Model S. I also own F80 M3 and a Mustang GT, but my daily will definetly be Tesla because of its features.
I've had a '21 Plaid for 8 months now and i absolutely love the car. Best car i've owned to date. The great sound system, tech, features, comfortable and quiet ride.
@gotchyeaaa Nimble like a Miata or my C6 Corvette. For its weight it handles well. Stock brakes aren't great but other than that its a good all around performer
@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg Im on drugs because? I literally said stock brakes aren't great. Lol. You must have been in a bad one because i've had no problem with high speed stability or the steering.
THIS or the 2024 Dodge Charger EV? 😅. Well, I guess it has a leg up with its fake V8 noise. The Dodge is ashamed to be an EV, while Tesla owns it. One pretends to be something it's not, and the other accepts its fate. What's your take?
Yea i agree. Dodge could have kept the challenger as a hell cat and then went full on EV with the charger. Its even got the right name for it. They coulda pulled it off and went full on under 2 sec 0-60 and ppl would have accepted it
I'll take the plaid for under a 100k plus car any day. I have a model S awd . Not a plaid but it's quick enough, and love the car and the performance options it has.
I am genuinely happy for you but stay out of the left lane or at least get over . The amount of tesla drivers that do this is like 90% in my experience. Then they speed up when you try to pass them in right lane😂 . 4 runner they get me. M3 I wave goodbye .

Give it a little more thought next time buddy. While they might not hit $20k in the next few years, $30k is certainly probable as they will be surpassed in many metrics including performance, efficiency, battery capacity, charging speed.

@@Bbronson we shall see. Every major sports car manufacturer is coming out with faster cars and we know it’s not the top dog anymore. EV’s have horrendous resale value and it’s a $90k base price car brand new. A Tesla model s avg resale price is $36,500 right now after only five years. To suggest the plaid hitting $30 in a few more given the rapidly advancing competition and declining popularity of Teslas and their market share is not out of the question
It looks cool enough. Super good brakes and mind bending performance. Probably a good ol time. I am glad that they make these cars and find it productive that some people enjoy them.
Im not a fan of Tesla or EV's in general, but my daily driver is a Tesla S Plaid, and I love it! Crazy acceleration that can be enjoyed year round and decent handling for how heavy it is. I also have the round steering wheel and find it way more enjoyable than the yoke. The worst part about the Plaid is the resale value. My weekend toy is a Camaro ZLE m6. Best of both worlds imo.
same , Im not pro electric , dont care about co2 footprint , but drive a model 3 performance.. Already had 3 camaros .. The tesla is easy to use and pretty fast ( 3.1 to 60) .. Charging can be a pain for people commuting but I work from home so it makes no difference,, Next will be a plaid for sure

I've heard that lots of owners are getting rid of that (batmobile) steering yoke for a real steering wheel, it looks coolish but i've read where owners say its not so great when driving it.
I have a 2022 RWD Model 3 and bought a gently used 2023 Model X Plaid recently. The acceleration is really difficult to explain to someone that hasn't ridden in a fast EV. The avalanche of power is more like being teleported to the horizon whenever you launch a Plaid Model S or X. Insane. I'll trade out the Model 3 to a S Plaid in the near future. Great video.
It is one of the most reliable cars i have ever owned and i got a brand new one as well. Nothing compare to its handling. This one with aero kit is phenomenal. We have to admit it’s technology.
Before purchasing a Tesla in Connecticut, I strongly urge you to carefully read the negative reviews of the ONLY Tesla service center in the state. This is the facility you will be forced to rely on for service, and my experience, along with many others, has been anything but pleasant. The staff appears to be heavily trained in predatory sales tactics, leveraging the lack of alternative service options to their advantage. Customers have reported being misled about costly repairs that turned out to be unnecessary. Some were even driven to sell their vehicles at a substantial loss, only for the new owners to discover that a minor, low-cost repair was all that was needed to get the car running perfectly. Do your research, read the reviews, and consider the implications of having no independent verification for their diagnoses before committing to a Tesla purchase in this state.
I drive a model 3 performance. Best car I ever owned by far. By freaking far. Thee model s plaid is a sick car. I think you can order with round steering wheel which I prefer
@@bolbiitp7850 dawg the drive experience of a model 3 performance is legit. I've owned a Sentra nismo and a Camry TRD. Thee model 3 performance was far superior in all aspects. The engine inside the car can be heard. It sounds like a low high tech hum
@@bolbiitp7850lol bro said doesn’t make noise what’s the point. U drive a car for the noise? I drive a car to get from point a to point b. I love electric. You love loud annoying cars. We all have our preference
Late to see this review and I'm glad you brung up Porche. Honestly Raiti the last Porche Review actually was moving just as fast as this Plaid in my eyes. When you took off in the test run I was like hmmmm...looks as fast as the Porche. And the Porche was merely petrol🏆
It's one of the most sinister, sleek looking cars on the road. The design is beautiful, the acceleration is frightening. I de-badged mine and still nobody wants any smoke 😅
My wife works for progressive and most EV's are well over 200 a month on insurance. And she tells me they always get upset when they hear how much they're paying, and argue saying they thought EV"s would be cheaper than gas cars lol. These ppl are the same ones that think they're saving the planet by owning EV's lol...
There is a CENTER button on top of that back seat that you are trying to pull down, lol...I have a 24 Model S Plaid. There is for sure an arm rest, with two more wireless charging pads in there too...along with more storage.
As other pointed out, if you review a car make sure you know what is has! Its a joke to just claim it don't have a arm rest....makes you look like a noob!
My 23 Model S LR goes 0-60 in 3.1. My brain can barely handle that. This vehicle is by far the best car I’ve ever driven, even blows a Porsche away in driving experience. Tesla built a super car for the whole family.
Nice review. BTW--the Model S does have a rear center armrest complete with cup holders, storage and wireless chargers. You just need to press the button on the back of the center headrest to release it.
I know the cloth is an ideal, but the cloth is actually the speaker cover grills. There's small speakers hidden behind them. They definitely could have used a nicer
Is that why "MilesPerHr" did a community post asking what car would u rather have a model s plaid, taycan turbo gt, or lucid air saphhire. Taycan got 88% of the votes. 😂 enjoy ur basic traffic. The plaid doesn't beat the taycan in any performance metric.
@@G82Watts Yes is does beat taycan in every way and actions, come on man taycan is sucks overpriced not practical because there is no seats in the back that's horrible. Also car insurance you have to pay every month $975bux that stupid too much ! ! The Plaid only $ 330bux much better. Plaid you can charge everywhere it's easy and range much better then taycan !!
@@p3dtesla118 it's really not all that much better range wise when u consider how much tesla overstates their range meanwhile people with the taycan get more range then porsche claims. I'll give u the charger infrastructure but that's about it. Also with back seats and not the weisach package it's still faster then the plaid around track and from a dig and a roll. Watch "marcos mordorne welt turbo gt vs tesla plaid" thats using the taycan turbo gt without weisach package. Turbo gt crushes it.
If you're reading this and not a fan of EV's I encourage you to go to Tesla and do a test drive. They make it super easy and don't bother you. The torque in the performance models is incredibly fun
Thanks for this been watching s8nce 2020, I'm curious about these like my motorcycle is it worth the buck it did but will a tesla entertain my curiosity and how reliable is customer service when it comes to issues and or simple question
Nice review; however the price and range you reported are incorrect. The 359-mile range is only that high if you have the 19-inch wheels that come with the car. Those 21-inch wheels (upgrade) u have on that plaid decreased that number to around 320 miles. Price has dropped to around 90k before tax also. End of the day the car is a beast tho! My brother has the 2024 S LR. I opted to get the 2024 Tesla M3 LR RWD and paid half the price of this car. Plaid is so amazing! Well presented
The fact you can pick one of these up used with only 40k miles for $55k is the craziest thing about them. 1,000 Hp, 200 mph and more efficient then a Prius for like base v8 money. 😅
Come on, you said, “NO rear seat armrest.” It ACTUALLY has an armrest with 2-WIRELESS chargers, 2-cup holders and a very slim amount of storage space. 👀🧠
You can do that with a new m3 competition xdrive. Flash tune, half tank of e85, and downpipes and 9.49 as a matter of fact. That will cost $4k… or a $799 tuning box can get you high 9’s with E30.
@@HarryTwatter ignorance is bliss! Let me crush you right now! The m3 cs is faster on the world’s reference road course Nurburgring 12.9 mile full lap was 7’28” on street tires compared to 7’35” plaid on street tires. The plaid has to resort to special track tires and brakes (cost is $20k) to beat the street tire m3 cs and only by 3 seconds. Put track tires on the m3 cs and plaid gets smoked. Oh and unlike the plaid, which can only complete two laps without power loss/limp mode, no such problem for the M3 cs. Game over, you will lose at the track with a plaid. 🤣🤣 Now as far as the drag strip, let me know when a plaid runs 7.98 at 177 mph, because an m3 did just that. Of course, it will cost a lot of money but we’re talking 1,700 horsepower and well over 1,000 lbs less weight. If you’re gonna cry about the cost we do have M3’s with stock unopened engines running 8.56, still faster than any plaid in the world. You see, unfortunately any way you slice it an m3 can go faster than any plaid, because we can make far more horsepower and have far less weight. Game over. M3 is the faster platform. You lose. 🤣🤣🤣
@@y2tnb what part are you referring to? A new m3 competition xdrive is $85k USD. It will run 10’s bone stock. They are extremely undertuned and will gain anywhere from 150 to 220 WHEEL horsepower with nothing more than software and some e85 in the tank. Those mods alone will put in into the mid to high 9’s. If you’re willing to buy a new intake manifold and port injectors (they fit in the new manifold) you can push even more fuel and boost and run low 9’s (record is 9.11 with seats removed too). Those additional mods will get you close to 900 horsepower. All of these mods were done on a completely stock engine with stock turbos as well. The fact is if you want to consistently beat an s plaid on the strip with the passenger seats in, it will probably take a turbo upgrade. that will get you deep into the 8’s and you’ll want to rebuild the transmission at that point for durability. So, you can easily run with and beat a plaid on the drag strip if you’re willing to spend more $. But, I’ll be the first to admit, that will make the plaid more worth it to many people (don’t have to touch it, warranty etc), but a tuned m3 not only can run with a plaid on the strip it will absolutely kill a plaid on the track. This has already been proven when both cars are setup on the same tires. Think about it, even if you have a basic tune on an m3 you’re well over 800 horsepower and still weigh 800-900 lbs less. With that kind of power on the track, weight matters more and while the plaid carries a lot of that weight low, the m3 has nearly a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Have a nice day!

$170/mo with state farm for me
My wife works for progressive and most EV's are well over 200 a month on insurance. And she tells me they always get upset when they hear how much they're paying, and argue saying they thought EV"s would be cheaper than gas cars lol. These ppl are the same ones that think they're saving the planet by owning EV's lol...
@@johnmacri7440Not in all states.
"Marshmallow White?" Yeah, I'm sure THAT will hold up well.
It will melt like a s’mores
It's the perfect color for a boring tesla. I like Hyundai's I5N in Performance Blue myself.
There is a CENTER button on top of that back seat that you are trying to pull down, lol...I have a 24 Model S Plaid. There is for sure an arm rest, with two more wireless charging pads in there too...along with more storage.
As other pointed out, if you review a car make sure you know what is has! Its a joke to just claim it don't have a arm rest....makes you look like a noob!
My 23 Model S LR goes 0-60 in 3.1. My brain can barely handle that. This vehicle is by far the best car I’ve ever driven, even blows a Porsche away in driving experience. Tesla built a super car for the whole family.
Got the same, 2023 LR. Love it. LR is more than fast enough for me. Had to buy a radar detector just to reduce any chance of getting pulled over.
Nice review. BTW--the Model S does have a rear center armrest complete with cup holders, storage and wireless chargers. You just need to press the button on the back of the center headrest to release it.
Looks like an impressive vehicle. I haven't warmed up to EVs yet, but this has my attention.
I would like to see the Sport Seats review on these.
I know the cloth is an ideal, but the cloth is actually the speaker cover grills. There's small speakers hidden behind them. They definitely could have used a nicer
This thing is a rocket
Plaid 5 to 10 times better then overpriced none practical Porsche taycan !!!
Correct
Is that why "MilesPerHr" did a community post asking what car would u rather have a model s plaid, taycan turbo gt, or lucid air saphhire. Taycan got 88% of the votes. 😂 enjoy ur basic traffic. The plaid doesn't beat the taycan in any performance metric.
@@G82Watts Yes is does beat taycan in every way and actions, come on man taycan is sucks overpriced not practical because there is no seats in the back that's horrible. Also car insurance you have to pay every month $975bux that stupid too much ! ! The Plaid only $ 330bux much better. Plaid you can charge everywhere it's easy and range much better then taycan !!
@@p3dtesla118 it's really not all that much better range wise when u consider how much tesla overstates their range meanwhile people with the taycan get more range then porsche claims. I'll give u the charger infrastructure but that's about it. Also with back seats and not the weisach package it's still faster then the plaid around track and from a dig and a roll. Watch "marcos mordorne welt turbo gt vs tesla plaid" thats using the taycan turbo gt without weisach package. Turbo gt crushes it.
@@G82Watts 300 miles Highway 350 city is good
The splitter looks amazing
one of my favorite cars on the market. love the model s
Love this car and setup.
i watched this for ON THROTTLE😂
Awesome review ❤
This Tesla is nice! I would drive this daily and enjoy it for sure. Great review as always.
It’s a beauty. 💯💯💯
If you're reading this and not a fan of EV's I encourage you to go to Tesla and do a test drive. They make it super easy and don't bother you. The torque in the performance models is incredibly fun
That is really nice of you to mention!
the arm rest in the rear does come down. the button is in the middle. It is quite nice. i have one.
Thanks for this been watching s8nce 2020, I'm curious about these like my motorcycle is it worth the buck it did but will a tesla entertain my curiosity and how reliable is customer service when it comes to issues and or simple question
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
You are the man!
1000 HP 😮😮😮 no way that’s insane
Ill like it more with model 3 highland design in a refresh model S!!
Simply love it.
That's a really nice car, it's a rocket ship. The best car ever.🚗🚗🚗
Porsche taycan ❤
I don’t think this is a 2024. They have new seats now. It’s also $89,990
Nice review; however the price and range you reported are incorrect. The 359-mile range is only that high if you have the 19-inch wheels that come with the car. Those 21-inch wheels (upgrade) u have on that plaid decreased that number to around 320 miles. Price has dropped to around 90k before tax also. End of the day the car is a beast tho! My brother has the 2024 S LR. I opted to get the 2024 Tesla M3 LR RWD and paid half the price of this car. Plaid is so amazing! Well presented
Thanks for your great intel.
I love my 2024 Model Y (red with white interior).
Model S Plaid is a dream car but too small for my frame.
The fact you can pick one of these up used with only 40k miles for $55k is the craziest thing about them. 1,000 Hp, 200 mph and more efficient then a Prius for like base v8 money. 😅
Dream car right here. Tesla by far makes the best EV's and the only one I will buy in my option.
Im getting it soon still debating cause i wanted a corvette
The Lucid Sapphire is where it’s at ngl but for the price yes the Tesla is pretty dope!
Come on, you said, “NO rear seat armrest.” It ACTUALLY has an armrest with 2-WIRELESS chargers, 2-cup holders and a very slim amount of storage space. 👀🧠
9s car for 90k, hard to beat if you're into going fast
You can do that with a new m3 competition xdrive. Flash tune, half tank of e85, and downpipes and 9.49 as a matter of fact. That will cost $4k… or a $799 tuning box can get you high 9’s with E30.
@@Bimmer_Bill a plaid will absolutely stomp any M car lmao
@@HarryTwatter ignorance is bliss! Let me crush you right now! The m3 cs is faster on the world’s reference road course Nurburgring 12.9 mile full lap was 7’28” on street tires compared to 7’35” plaid on street tires. The plaid has to resort to special track tires and brakes (cost is $20k) to beat the street tire m3 cs and only by 3 seconds. Put track tires on the m3 cs and plaid gets smoked. Oh and unlike the plaid, which can only complete two laps without power loss/limp mode, no such problem for the M3 cs. Game over, you will lose at the track with a plaid. 🤣🤣
Now as far as the drag strip, let me know when a plaid runs 7.98 at 177 mph, because an m3 did just that. Of course, it will cost a lot of money but we’re talking 1,700 horsepower and well over 1,000 lbs less weight. If you’re gonna cry about the cost we do have M3’s with stock unopened engines running 8.56, still faster than any plaid in the world.
You see, unfortunately any way you slice it an m3 can go faster than any plaid, because we can make far more horsepower and have far less weight. Game over. M3 is the faster platform. You lose. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Bimmer_Billholyyyyyy shit no way this is a real comment
@@y2tnb what part are you referring to? A new m3 competition xdrive is $85k USD. It will run 10’s bone stock. They are extremely undertuned and will gain anywhere from 150 to 220 WHEEL horsepower with nothing more than software and some e85 in the tank. Those mods alone will put in into the mid to high 9’s. If you’re willing to buy a new intake manifold and port injectors (they fit in the new manifold) you can push even more fuel and boost and run low 9’s (record is 9.11 with seats removed too). Those additional mods will get you close to 900 horsepower. All of these mods were done on a completely stock engine with stock turbos as well.
The fact is if you want to consistently beat an s plaid on the strip with the passenger seats in, it will probably take a turbo upgrade. that will get you deep into the 8’s and you’ll want to rebuild the transmission at that point for durability. So, you can easily run with and beat a plaid on the drag strip if you’re willing to spend more $. But, I’ll be the first to admit, that will make the plaid more worth it to many people (don’t have to touch it, warranty etc), but a tuned m3 not only can run with a plaid on the strip it will absolutely kill a plaid on the track. This has already been proven when both cars are setup on the same tires. Think about it, even if you have a basic tune on an m3 you’re well over 800 horsepower and still weigh 800-900 lbs less. With that kind of power on the track, weight matters more and while the plaid carries a lot of that weight low, the m3 has nearly a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Have a nice day!
plaid gets fob
i had 22 Plaid loved it@!
Fantastic car, I'll take it over any car at this price range.
There's a button on top of the center console that brings it down as an armrest
137k may have been during Covid but if you go on the website you can price one out under 100k pretty easily.
not a version with the new seats that have alcantara??
I’m not sittin at a Tesla charging station!
There IS a rear center arm rest. The release is at the top.
Definitely getting the beast
I’m sorry, but what is the splitter 😭✋
Quick with no genuine smile
That fromt kit is aftermarket I’m assuming
