Nice video keep up the good work
Tesla is the best
Dream car!
Bro - no buyer in their right mind is going to pay you $90K for a 2021 Plaid. Those can be had all day long for $50K - $70K depending upon condition and mileage. Surely you know this ????
If it’s a Plaid, it’s a guarantee that someone put allot of pressure on that battery racing it, as well as those motors, and replacing Tesla parts (or any EV) is expensive. And going to a local repair shop isnt going to cut it.
I wouldn’t buy it at all. I would, if I really wanted a used EV, just get the long range.
@@justSTUMBLEDuponwell they come with 8 year warranty on the battery and it’s transferable so if one of the motors went bad you could get it replaced
$90K CAD = about $66K USD.
@@tashahillbcyou beat me to it, Tash! Exactly 🤙🏾
There’s no way an old 2021 Plaid is worth $90K no matter how much BS you want to spray 😂 In Canuck tender, maybe…
Your partner in crime doesn’t get enough credit. That Tesla intro was pure cinema
Haha thank you. I am trying to make an effort to be in front of the camera more.
- Ian (partner in crime).
Keep it and wait until it reaches over 100,000 miles, then do another review. It’s a great car.
I remember when you reviewed the Model Y, and I bought it because of you. It's been 2 years, and I still smile every time I drive it. I love it.
You love losing money like that?
@@TheGreatness-gg1jx model y is like 35k brand new in the US, there isnt a better car for that price, and it wont depreciate much. The plaid in the video didnt depreciate 100k like he says, tesla just cut prices down to 80k after all the " I have to buy on day 1" people ordered theirs
I'm not convinced yet
@@TheGreatness-gg1jxit’s a car, 99% depreciate. I recommend you buy something slightly used
the model s is a very comfortable touring vehicle. i have a 2023 one and i just love taking long drives in mine. Thank god I leased mine lol.
Do you think it’s worth it because I’m seriously considering getting one?
Honestly, I am surprised that you guys arent at 1 million subscribers yet. Your videos are the best I've seen for reviews. Keep putting the work, it's a matter of time.
We really appreciate that!
Ya totally Agree! Very underrated channel!
The best is usually the least appreciated.
5+ minute intro looking aaah
Camera man has top-tier skills
Thanks so much!
- Ian (Camera man)
I think anyone that bought the Tesla at the height of the price, should keep it till it dies. Also I would tint the windows and windshield so it flows all black all the way through
Yeah, we have no choice but to keep our cars until they die.
I have Tuxmat in my suv. Absolutely love them! Best mats I have ever purchased
Awww Yeahhh!
Got 1 and also took a $44k US price reduction. I paid $142k new now its $98k like mine new.
However I did the track package (not wheels just CCB) pair with square 20” forged wheels and it transformed the car. It’s not just bigger brakes and top speed. In track mode they recalibrated the damping ratios to make it track focus. Now the top speed can be reached in any mode not just on track mode
Also for CCB’s like this, the price is good.
However I use the car more to race it.
For the rest, cero issues love the car hate the resale so probably will keep it …..
When they say it’s goes fast, they weren’t just talking about speed
I switched out to a round steering wheel. Aside from the tires getting worn out, it is THE best car I ever purchased and that includes a 997.2 911 GT3RS which I still have. My last purchase is a GR Corolla Circuit but the Tesla is the one I use. It is also our trip car. $ per mile, it is the best value.
EVs are fast, insanely fast, I get it, the EV nerds keep talking about it when it comes in comparition with the supercars. But it wasn’t just all about the speed, it’s also the sound, the clutch thumps, the shifting punches… it’s…the experience.. I think every man will get what I’m talking about
This man speaks the truth.
U must like how it feels riding a horse still, when first car was introduced
@@ritenaow1 probably, I won’t deny that, things in the past are things that make us who we are, I still remember the feeling of driving my very first car like 15yrs ago, it’s a MT one, when AT was only available on expensive cars
As daily drivers when you have to move your family around, there is nothing better than a fast EV. My model 3 performance is a beast from point a to point b and nobody notices I’m using 100% power when zipping around the city. my previous tuned audio S4 was so loud I actually was ashamed to use full power. The trick is to own a small nimble manual weekend car to have real fun, which I do
@@louisolivierfortinSo true. I have a '22 M3P and love it. The Plaid is insanely quick but even the M3P is quicker from stoplight to stoplight than 99% of the ICE cars you're going to see on the road. But I do occasionally want a MT gasser just to enjoy the drive.
Damn, that’s a lot of depreciation. I say hold it and make another video in 3 years.
If you do plan on selling - maybe get an LC500? Lexus is discontinuing the 2URGSE soon and LC is a beautiful looking car while not being too expensive.
😊😊 exactly I think hold it as long as you can until you make 10 more videos to make your money worth it lol subscribed
As a Tesla owner I don’t look at my cars as cars but as cellphones. I upgrade every 2-3 years and expect the cost of the device to go down with time not miles which in the smart phone world it’s common.
comment of the decade! The batteries in these EVs are kin to the Cellphone GOTTA UPGRADE, my maximum battery capacity is 88%💯
@@z0_om959 Yeah in one year use my iPhone is down to 92% so what do people expect cars to be at? When you lease teslas its like buying a phone and they don’t really check the condition of the battery so use away
EVERYTIME I revisit this channel and watch a new video, I am amazed. Y'all are THE BEST car channel on UA-cam. Period.
Thank you!!
Shoulda waited to buy it like I did. Saved a bundle and that’s why I’m not taking my cyber truck yet. I’ll happily wait when the prices drop and then I’ll jump on it.
The Foundation series is over 100k. The next iteration is expected to cost $69,000. We will see how close they get to that price.
it's cool that you can lower the suspension and keep the suspension changing features available.
Goes to show, Tesla is either just hiring anyone. Or hiring yes men because with proper R&D, even if you found cheaper materials. A 50k decrease is massive and they basically used you as a loan to improve the model S. Like they say, money doesn't grow on trees and has to come from someone's bank account.
They have always stated that once production increases the price will eventually come down. If someone bought it now after the production has caught up with demand it’s a great buy. Tesla isn’t Porsche that means you don’t have to beg a dealer to buy an exorbitantly marked up car. There aren’t any cars that puts out the same performance in any where near its price point. If I had the money it would be my daily. It’s easy to maintain, extremely quick. You can see the same depreciation hits for cyber truck as well, eventually it will hit the 40k mark for it as well for the single motor. Tesla mass produces cars that are extremely bang for the buck.
Correct! The cost of being an early adapter of any tech is massive depreciation. How is it going for those first smartphone buyers? Most cars depreciate regardless of manufacturer..
I do want to mention, that Tesla strongly discourages you from bringing your car into a car wash, you must go through a touch-less car wash. Probably for this reason. Although the car should still hold up just fine. Ignoring Tesla’s warnings, the consequences are on you due to negligence. I do want to mention that I have owned my 21 Tesla Model 3 since December of 2020. I have 140k miles and still retained the original drivetrain and battery. Had a plethora of HVAC related issues due to being the early adopter of the heat pump. Haven’t had any issues since.
Just so you know, you can call Tessa roadside their numbers on the website and give them your phone number and the VIN and they will unlock the car. I’ve done it half a dozen times on different vehicles over the years.
Suggested changes - remove front license plate mount (it looks so much better w/o) and update the yoke (horn is now a press on the center air bag!). Keep it. It's a great vehicle for a fantastic price (today's cost).
In Ontario you have to have a licence plate on the front, ugh...
Awesome, honest review!! Loved the cinematic aspect and soundtrack of this video - chef’s kiss!!!
Thanks so much!
New subscriber, just got a new Model S and I lust for the wheels you have. And came here to click your link for the floor mats. Good content!
You bought at initial hype and now complaining that supply vs demand has caught up.
I would drive it forever 1020hp on tap, comfort of air suspension, Over the air updates to always keep the car relevant, and Maintenance free motoring. My dads plaid is at 87k miles and he literally hasn't had to do a single thing besides tires.
Wow
Why spend the money on PPF to protect a car that has depreciated so much? I don’t think PPF will stop the $$ bleeding.
Pre-heartbreak
The reason Tesla fluncuate in price is because they're priced on how much it costs to make one. The cars price is like a stock market. There's a right time to buy one and when not to. Unlike a regular car you end up with dealership markup which is worse. In the pandemic, teslas cost a lot to manufacture. In this case, you can buy a new Tesla and when the economy crashes and the prices of everything goes up, you can sell your Tesla and even make a profit. You just need to know how the economy works in order to buy a Tesla for its true value.
Depreciation is tragic as I also own one. What's crazy is that nothing new out there comes close to what this car does. I was hoping the new M5 would be a replacement but hearing it has 300* hp less and weighs even more just killed that idea.
One of your best videos; factual and personal at the same time. But don't go blowing through any more stop signs (16:35). You're a Canadian and we respect traffic signs.
Eeeeee didn’t even notice
Free country baby 🤘🏼
Our 60-year-old Impala still works. It still has decent value. How valuable will a 60-year-old Tesla be?
Honestly bro, u need dark tints and some 21 inch wheels. The 22's are just too big they really dont look better and they weigh more, make ur gas mileage worse and ur tires are way more expensive and the ride quality suffers. Great freaking video tho im right on that fence of buying one and u may have pushed me over.
On the comparison with the GT3 and not enough bling on the outside: the target audience appreciates that. I would actually want to remove the plaid sign if there was an option.
100% front wheel drive... I want to see this lol..... 😂........ you made that plaid look really nice with those wheels.
If you wanted a fast, value retainer family car, it should've been a Porche Cayenne Turbo S.
what? since when does a cayenne "value retainer?" lmao
@@kcw9313 german cars (well, porsches at least) are known for retaining their value very well, because the build quality is top-notch. Even though they're relatively "mass-produced", they still go strong 100,000, 200,000, or more miles later and hold up very well. Hence why they're very desirable in the second-hand market. But here in the US we don't have autobahns, so there's really no point in buying a 150 mph daily driver when the max speed you can realistically drive is 80. lol
@TSERJI my man. Only Porsche sport cars hold their value.
@@hamsterbrigade ah, my bad. It seems the 911's & 718's only hold value. But still, the build quality on all Porsches (not just the sports cars) are pretty top-notch
Needs 7 inch ground clearance cuz roads
this video stumbled upon my suggested and I'm glad I watched it. the quality of the video and editing is high tier. you guys deserve way more subs. keep it going!
The car that broke down and cannot run isn't worth 90K. In fact, it costs just the value of scrap metal.
Scrap prices at an all time high
@@ACCELER8TV🤣🤣🤣
The plaid is cool but I’m more interested in that S1k 👀
Congrats on 250k! 💪🏾
Tesla model S 0-60 in under 2 seconds….$181k - $90k in under 2 years! Thanks Elon 😂
No one complained when computer prices fell for decades. Anyway, as Tesla can now build cars much more efficiently and there's more competition; this is natural; and healthy, for most people. It's actually how the standard of life is raised in society.
@@Bilgeadam111 exactly. This guy just likes pessimism in his life.
That's the 1st adopters life haha. It's always like that, with everything in life as a first adopter ;) Glad that we have had sharp price cuts for the masses though.
This guy is way off on his estimated resale value. 2021 Tesla Plaids are priced in the $50,000 to $70,000 range, not $90,000. This fact is easily verifiable.
@@lrvracer3515 he said 90k canadian which is about 66k usd
Love Tuxmats! Great video boys. Ian truly is a world class creator!
What do u think about the new seats ? Will u updgrade ?
5 months later, and its dropped another !25 to 30 k! I would have bought one, except I can't get rid of my 22 model y performance...due to its epic drop in price too.
Getting one soon. Gonna get rid of my G63 for this, already love this ❤❤❤
Tesla share holder here: please buy a Tesla 😅
It’s a great car but that depreciation is actually insane.
Tesla is the best. I'm tempted to buy one
"one is hollow & one is not" feel u there
congrats on the 250k!
So you take the car on a rally weekend and it dies the next day, then costs $11 grand to fix? Are you serious? AND the brakes suck? And people try to call this an "advancement" or "hi-tek"? I hope this video gets enough views to at least cut in to the depreciation. We appreciate your sacrifice for the public good. Your channel is great.
The only difference is that he didn't pay a dime for it. Even though the damage was from engine abuse (he said he did at least 75 drag races in 3 days) and yet Tesla covered his bill for the engine replacement. Try doing this with a Porsche, go to their service center and tell them that your gearbox broke down due to abuse and we'll see how much they'll charge you for it.
The only reason I am thinking of getting one now, is because they have gone down in value so much. Sorry for your loss (and my gain.) 😄
The fact that you can get the performance of a hypercar for just over 60K used now is insane. Bring the wife and kids and its a good day. Cant do that with the GT3RS
Used Model S Plaids are dropping into the under $70k range now, so that's finally a decent price, not a $120k ripoff, lol.
Model S P100D's are getting dirt cheap too, for similar performance, features, and the same exact looks.
120,000 is a drop in the bucket for a car that you enjoy get into boating and then complain about depreciation.
Not a fan of EVs by any means but this video caught my attention
Man I raced one of these, in my Kia forte GT and I was very disappointed
I lost 😂
KEEP UP THE CONTENT! truly GREAT!
Who paid for new motor? And how long did it take to fix? Did they provide loaner?
KEEP IT! There is NOTHING comparable to that 1020hp 4door sedan that has Prius running costs and road manners like this thing! 8yr 150k mile warranty to! You need to drive it more infact!
What type of wheels are you using? It looks super on the car. I’d like to get some from mine.
I doubt it’s going to hang with a turbo s other than in a straight line, also those front disks look so small I think that’s the problem
Dropped the price $56k...just goes to show how grossly overpriced Teslas have been without any real competition.
If you could sell it and get a brand new one to replace it for a little more money it could be worth it to sell given you put it through a lot early on. If you have all the initial enjoyment of abusing it out of your system you could go easier on the next one if you want to have it for the long term. It is a moderately timeless design and over the air updates well help keep it fresh. You could move any mods to the next one. Or… keep this one to show longevity/durability, it won’t be worthless when the battery goes in years, it could be cheaper to replace the battery in the future and there could be a new style, lighter with better technology down the road. At that point if you’re out of warranty you could have the battery serviced third party for way less or just get a new battery.you spent 180 what’s 25-30k in 3-5 years. That’s almost the brake package.
Mods to consider
Vented/ slotted rotors
Better pads
Lighter rims/ staggered
Front lip/splitter
Rear defuser
Trunk lip spoiler
Definitly no roof box.
sound system upgrade maybe alpine all the way around
Interior accent lighting
Sun roof panel shade/ ceramic tint all the way around doesn’t have to be dark to keep the heat out, car uses less energy cabin overheat protection will run less as well in the summer.
When you said 2005 Subaru Legacy, I said SUBY #FTW!! Still have my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT (76,000 miles; needs timing belt replaced), and it’s a sweet ride. Always garaged .. until the 2024 Model Y Performance took the garage spot so … gettin’ dirty! LOVE my Tesla Model Y Performance and could possibly see a Model S in my future … maybe. Your Model S Plaid is SWEET!!!
Congrats on 250k fellas! I remember the first video I watched that made me sub… was the review of the RS7
Wow! One of our first videos, thanks so much for sticking with us!!
Cheers from AB. I own a 3P and you’re right, once the on/off snap head back novelty wears off there is nothing else. Zip, zilch, snooze fest. Tesla basically built the Toyota Corolla of electric cars because aside from acceleration they are just as boring.
this is the best channel in the entire world! the editing, and the videography is amazing
Curious if you've run into the uneven tire wear issue (inside of tires wearing out significantly faster than outside due to the camber)? Saw some other YT video that talked about having to replace tires every ~10k miles due to this issue..
What steal branded brake lines did you get and which would you recommend? What high performance brake fluid did you use?
Thank you for any feedback...
$90k depreciation is hard to imagine! I feel for you bru. Dont sell it, you wont get another car with 1000hp at that price. Wait 3 more years for the roadster.
U mean 13 years lmao
What brand of lights do you have in the garage?
Only thing I would do is tint the windows after that the car is fine 💯
I have a 2022 Plaid, so much depreciation, probably will keep it as a daily drive
Overpriced
My man said who would pay 20k for better performance and brakes 😂 on a Porsche there’s 20k damn near on color and stitching options alone and don’t even get me started on the bmw cs upgrade which is a 30k bump for more hp
great video man! id say keep it, teslas are the only cars i know that get better and better as they age, also tint your windows! more blacked out haha
Well everybody and their mother knows that mass-produced cars go down in value. When you buy a car, you should expect to lose money. You buy a car because it makes you happy, helps your business make money, brings your business credibility and/or for status.
Mate, what matters is if the car makes you happy. It can be the biggest POS, but in the end of the day if you are (mostly) happy ..that's it. I would not buy EV , especially Tesla , but when the tech significantly improves why not.
Your model sp is sick dood keep it ,😊your mods are sweet !
Used 2021 plaids are priced in the $60kish in the US
6:07 up to 269$ per share atm 🤷♂
..
$350
Seen 2021blue ones(look better than the blah black and white ones) on Auto Trader and Cars site for $60-70K USD with 20-25k miles.
Bro the 2021 Plaids are going anywhere from $62-68k on average on Autotrader for a clean title with 20l - 45k miles
Sorry our numbers were CAD
Dam I'm glad I bought my plaid 2022 but with all the refresh updates of the 2023 plaid for 80k and only with 11k miles
Nice VIDEO! I have the 2023 Ultra-Red Plaid after someone hitting my MS16 75D! Anyway, I think you should get premium powder coat AMBER calipers to match the amber light in front. It would very rare in Plaid!
You must not have FSD because, at least to me, it is just as fun as its acceleration
New Model S Plaid customers will be very Happy Now 😍 the price
i like the rim,s what kind are they? did you lower the car also?
Maybe make the door handles and the back of the rearview mirrors matte black.
keep it til the battery dies, nothing can compare far as 4 door sedan, fast, and no gas.
you can put carbon kit from TSK
The greatest daily driver in the world. Still. I enjoy mine, fully. Every single day.
This, brand new is 120k€ and for a used 2022 model with 50k km on it would be around 90-95k...
Great team work beautiful videos as always ⚡️
S or plaid for a daily ?
I don't like TuxMats, they're too bulky, too thick . I prefer the oem carpet ones
Great video as always. Things not mentioned are interior design which Tesla doesn't have. Road noise, which I don't want to hear at that price, and harsh ride. Your camera was vibrating (I forgot the scene) because the car is not absorbing the road imperfections well enough.
I do consider it because it is a great value for money, but unwilling to sacrifice luxuriousness.
I just bought a black 2024 plaid with 500 miles for $72k. Was that a good deal? No fsd unlocked.
wow that is half of what he paid, Id say its a good day but im sure the prices will get cheaper. how you like yours so far?
@@CheickMbayeStoriesyeah prices are already falling. S Plaid was 94k, then 92k, now its 88k.
Im absolutely loving mine. Its like driving a roller coaster. I dont think i have ever had a car that is this fun to drive. Faster than a Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, Bugatti, etc at a fraction of the price. Sure I can nitpick-but on the whole, I love it!
@@mediamonk100 Thats amazing, congrats, hows the range and insurarnce
@@CheickMbayeStoriesthe insurance is just the same as a regular car. I have seen a few youtubers complaining about high insurance costs.
I have not seen that, so I question their driving records and what coverages they have.
No complaints with range but have found it really depends on how I drive. If I’m racing around in Plaid mode it uses a lot more battery. You’re only supposed to charge the battery to 80% as well. Going 30 miles usually costs around 10% of the battery driving in Sports mode. Lots of free charging options around town, and my Level 2 home charger charges at 11 KWH.
Tesla is the best car company ever! No maintenance, no gas stations, no smog checks, no oil changes, #1 in reliability, #1 in cost of ownership, quiet and 0-60 in 2.9 seconds like a $700,000 Lamborghini.
Tell me that you are joking😅. Best in what? 0-60? 1/4 mile? Not even that anymore. Most EV's these days do exactly what they do just with a better quality. Yes number 1 in recalls 🤭. He just said they changed the front electric motor for 11k $$ . a car with 17k miles 😅😅😅😅
Remember the first 42" inch Panasonic plasma TVs costing $4000? Now you can buy a 95" inch TCL 4K smart TV for under $2000 at Best buy.
Great video as usual :) ,,,,I saw a plaid wrapped in chrome it looked amazing, or how about a plaid wrap,,,they will know its a plaid then lol ?
now I drive a 3 and my next will be Tesla S! However, I dont need the Plaid.
A timeless spaceship. Just keep it, very good daily driver.
