  • Kyle is in Colorado with the brand new Tesla Model S Plaid! This is the 3 motor, 1000+ hp, supercar killer (straight line) version of the electric family sedan from Tesla. In this video he takes you on an in-depth driving analysis of the vehicle.
    A huge thanks to Tesla Flex for loaning his Model S for this video. You can find him on most social platforms such as TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@tesla.flex?la...

    Man that camera lens was annoying there! Thankfully it doesn’t last too long. I’m still blown away by that acceleration! However, as I always say, there’s more to performance than straight line. I’m really looking forward to track mode, active noise cancellation, and torque vectoring to be updated to the car. Of course, I’ll drive it again after some updates! Insane machine, truly.
    Also, a huge thanks to Brandon (Tesla Flex) for loaning this car! He’s now on UA-cam so check out this link: ua-cam.com/channels/IMasKY5YlgzcOmxVW4loaw.html

      Software can add torque vectoring and power acceleration in the turns but not without a track pack brake upgrade and shouldn’t it have come with that as an option package? If that’s all it lacked it would be doable but it’s not going to get quieter or more enjoyable even with a driver stalk and round wheel. I’ve heard it said that a one trick pony charms for only so long. That road noise is constant and make the Air sound like the long distance EV choice and the EQS a bank vault solidity that lets you escape the here and now noises along your daily commute. The Taycan (Cross Turismo😍) and RS eTron GT the curvy road drivers choice and long trip pleasurable haulers. With a pack of dogs it’s the Cross Turismo with rear steering hands down. 🎯

"yokes" have their places in real racing cars where you have a much tighter steering ratio so that you dont need to turn it more than 180 degrees or simply because on a track you don't have intersections, parking lots and generally tight turning spots.

    I think for athletic backroad driving, sport or even chill is superior to plaid mode. The plaid drive mode has too much power (insane levels of power) and it just shuts down any on-throttle during steering inputs. Probably will be fixed with a new sw update. The car is actually one of the best handling 4800lb cars out there, it just gets locked down in plaid mode because of oversensitive stability control.

    @matteocomelli9587 2 роки тому +1

    I Think track mode software update will fix most of your complaints about the Plaid's handling and braking, just like in the Model 3, you'll be able to set the front/rear power delivery, reduce stability control that keeps braking in the corners and heating up the brakes, set the regen to be more powerful (M3P does that) to take stress out of the brakes and make them last longer without heavy fading, and probably with the 2 rear motors you'll even be able to control and set to different levels the torque vectoring! On top of that there could be some space to further improve the suspension via software updates.
    For the type of car, i think the Plaid already does well in the canyons, you are an experienced and fast driver! And it's cool it will further improve with software updates!
    And the price... you could swap the yoke, new rims and tyres, full custom racing suspension, carboceramic brakes with 6 piston calipers, racing seats, and you still wouldn't spend half the price difference between Plaid S and a Taycan with all those mods

    How do you currently drive? I was always taught to drive with one hand when low speed turning. It keeps your hands from getting tangled and makes for smoother maneuvering. They used to see a ball thing you can attach to steering wheels to help turn them easier with one hand. I usually have my palm at the top of the steering wheel so turning at the bottom of the yoke would take time getting used to.

    Most Americans don't actually know how to drive in the twisties or even find it fun. I see the Plaid appealing to the same mentality that made the recent supercharged Dodge sedans popular, "Hey you guys, Watch this!"
    I drive (or ride) fast on certain lonely twisty roads I know or on track. I've driven and owned lots of fast cars but never had more fun than diving into corners fender to fender on track with Miatas (or Ducatis).
    After the _MotorTrend_ review I have been looking forward to you taking a Lucid GT up your mountain.
    I have a Lucid GT reserved but was impressed by your EQS review. Test drives in my future I suppose. I like to travel across the country and those two seem valid comfortable cruisers. One day I *really* hope to see that electric Miata or even an electric 718.

    @34:40 is where I got the answer I needed. This is a muscle car, for the same kind of driver who'd buy a Hellcat. Stupid amounts of acceleration (enthusiast or not that's really fun), but in terms of its ability to provide good feedback, feel somewhat light on its wheels, and be rewarding to drive in situations beyond straight lines, it doesn't hold up to a properly sorted chassis.

    Teslas really need a "High" mode for regen. I hardly ever use the friction brakes on my Model Y, but I would use them less if max regen was more than 85 kW, and would approach curves faster if max regen was upwards of 120 kW.

    • @thomasbrown7328
      @thomasbrown7328 2 роки тому

      If you ever get a chance try the Bolt’s regen- drive in L mode and use the paddle behind the steering wheel on the left. It’s so much fun in city traffic with the strong regen and front wheel driving torque steer that you have to wrestle with a bit. You can even be holding the steering wheel paddle and simultaneously press the accelerator and control the amount of regen that way as well. Sure we love our Tesla, but for city stuff the Bolt’s a blast. It’s my beater EV.

      Completely agree with the UI thing and the yoke. At first I thought it would be a situation like when the Model 3 came out and had no screen in front of you and people were freaking out over nothing it’s still really intuitive but nope I test drove a Plaid and I don’t think I could get used to it. Especially in a Model X makes even less sense to me that’s a Whole Foods mom car why would they want or need a yoke steering wheel?

      I don't see why they just can't make it an option, they literally have everything they need. I'm all for progress, but some things just don't need to be reinvented. Choices are usually a good thing.
      A lot of people retort with: look how popular the smartphone is with no physical keyboard, would you go back to a Blackberry?? yes. yes I would, I miss the slider keyboard I had on my first android phone. If not for Swype, touchscreens would be hell. I don't have small kid fingers anymore. Granted now I just use voice to text most of the time.
      Good thing I have my model 3 now, I won't need to worry about a yoke for some time if it remains a thing. And if it still is in the next 6 years, well maybe it is better. Didn't look like it in this review though.
