I'd say I've never seen a better car than the Tesla Model S. Model S embodies the endless possibilities of a lighter, stronger and faster supercar with a full flow of over-the-air updates and Autopilot, literally everything you thought it was impossible to build a supercar. When rushing to a 7am meeting on my Model S Accelerating from 0-100 mph in less than 3 seconds should be a option 😁.
Everything looks great besides the touch buttons, I really dislike having "fake" buttons for everything versus a physical click. Especially for things like the door handles and turn signals, I really can't fathom why they would change that.
I just ordered a Plaid in Florida, which does not require a front plate. I asked at the Tesla showroom about eliminating the front plate mount as I was able to do when I ordered my 2015 Model S P90D. I was told that since Tesla obtained its crash rating with the mount installed they could only ship cars with the mounts. It is put on with an adhesive, but I was warned that the paint could be damaged by just pulling the mount off. Instead, I was told to take it to a Tesla-authorized body shop where they would apply heat to the adhesive to remove the mount without risk of paint damage.
This is my first Drivers Only video and I've never seen anything about this car. People have been telling me about it in the streets but this is my first look. I like it!
Congratulations, George! We’re all George so you gotta let me get a test drive. LOL. Just kidding. I have the same configuration on my future order of Model S Plaid.
I do love me some Tesla, but that steering wheel though...I'm surprised that's even legal. Seems like it would be a tad unsafe when making any kind of sharper turns.
The cool red and black Plaid badge from Space Balls is only for the first 25 models delivered at the event. The rest of them will have the Plaid name on the back.
all you need is the quick bandit front license plate holder 👊🏼 whoooo sooo nice thanks for the upload have an ⚡️⚡️electric day⚡️⚡️…btw lookout for a possible spigen matte glass protector to rid of reflective gloss during daytime driving
You can pull off the front plate holder off pretty easy. It is just stuck on with double sided tape. Mine come off in like three minutes with no issues.
@@jwkoeniger I really wish they would stop putting it on and just give it to the customer to put on for those that need front plates. Their pictures on the website doesn’t it show it on the front bumper so it should be delivered as advertised. I basically kinda rolled the double sided tape away inch by inch and it seemed to not leave but residue behind but I am sure you can get something that will take off the residue. The paint quality seems to be definitely better than the previous years.
I don't know if it's been brought to your attention or not however, according to Tesla website plaid top speed requires proper wheels and tires which will be available fall 2021
The license plate thing doesn't come with all of them . Maybe they messed up the order or had this one in stock ... That would explain why you got it so fast
You got lucky because you ordered black interior with wood trim. White interior with carbon fiber is taking waaaay longer. I've been waiting since September 2020.
Hey Man, really cool car! Love the color. I think it's an awesome shade of blue. I am so impressed with the Tesla brand. If I didn't have so many cars already I'd spring for this one. I want one so bad! Be safe and enjoy it Man.

@@jwkoeniger I've seen similar comment s like this saying Tesla couldn't do something. Most of them didn't age well. I wonder what your next excuse will be when they do it.
Crazy on a vehicle this expensive that the black trim below the driver's window doesn't align perfectly with the black trim below the rear driver's window.
I'm deciding between the Tesla model S plaid, Audi e-tron GT, Porsche Taycan, and 2022 corvette z51. So far I think the corvette is best, Tesla has much better technology than Porsche and Audi. But I think both Porsche and Audi are better looking vechicles. I like the big touch screen on the Tesla, but they should get rid of the back seat screen and just place it on the back of the seats. Because no one wants to look down to watch Netflix. Not sure what they were thinking when they designed that. I love how honest this review is and you're not just a Tesla fanboy.
I saw one Plaid owner with Black Plaid who removed his front license plate holder shortly after delivery. I have blue Plaid and will remove front license plate holder ASAP. Looks so much better without it. I wish they would have retained the red calipers instead of the black. I have my order with the 19" wheels, as performance is less important than efficiency and range, and the 19" wheels boost the range to 390 miles rather than 348 with the 21" wheels.
Just a great video...very informative...walking through the new yoke along with its functionality associated with turn signals, engaging Drive, Reverse and Park was great. Thank you for taking the time to put on UA-cam.
Your disappointed in: 1: Front bottom not being carbon fiber 2: Front license plate 3: Brake calipers not being red 4: Yoke is a pain in the ass 5: Auto decide isn't too reliable 6: Doors feel too light 7: Backseat space could be better 8: You wish there was more carbon fiber overall What did you expect for $145,000 w/tax??? I think I'll hold out for the base model, get better mileage, buy an after market plaid plaque, save 50 grand and show up to the party a second later... I did appreciate the video though...Thanks for posting!
there's a reason why established car manufacturers never adopted this steering wheel design albeit being widely explored in concept models.. because it's unpractical
Fastest production car in the world also comes with more trunk n frunk space than a compact suv like kia seltos. For a moment i got the feeling this was a replica with no ability to move the way he kept revealing more and yet more storage spaces. Mad
Beautiful car but that’s total misinformation about the front license plate. That weird description of why it’s added from the factory was cringeworthy. It can be removed without leaving any artifacts since it’s glued on.
@@jpgmatrixgmail Rimac is not ready for production just yet. Also, it costs over a few million dollars and is not equipped to do autonomous driving in the future (whenever that may be).
@@jpgmatrixgmail It is in production, but it has not been delivered yet so until then, the Model S Plaid for a literal fraction of a cost is the fastest production car today.
Congratulations to you sir beautiful car. I believe you got your car so fast because you got the wood in the interior. I ordered my model S plaid same color with carbon fiber in March and I am still waiting for my it’s a bit upsetting but I’m sure it will be worth it when I receive mine. Just do not like how Tesla is during the delivering process
When you are looking for leg room in the back seat and want more… what are you comparing it to? Has more room than anything close to that class. Seemed like an s class review in general. Not a plaid. In that price range i can only think of a panarama that you can compare to for leg room and style. But its really a super car with extra room in my unqualified opinion.

You can remove the front license plate, seen others do it already.
I don't think that would be legal here in the UK. I'm not certain though.
Not in every state only in certain states you can take off your license plate

I definitely like how this looks. The standard S was a little pedestrian IMO
finally a proper walk around of blue Plaid! thank you! Will def get one in NZ
Can we go back and race the guy with the Lambo again?
Some states require a front license plate, which may explain why the plate holder was included.
Been watching you for years congrats you've help me so much. Enjoy that car 🚗💯💯🚀🌙
I'm pretty sure that the centre console can completely close because when it's halfway you gently push it again, it will close completely
Love the color and looks great.
Has Tesla updated the rear LEDs of the car or are they still the same?
Those monthly payments though must be 🔥😂

I did and then reordered. This car will be used to make a lot of videos on this channel.

So what happens if the battery dies while driving how do you open the car door?
Theres a manual latch inside
You should mod it up. Add like the glowing lights for under the car and a chrome paintjob!
