One day man. One day. Im gonna get this car.
I believe in you! 🙏🏽
I wish I could have one 😪 im on o.d.s.p (disability) so I can only afford old 2005 cars ...
Don't wait until the time is right, make it right.
I’m stuck between this and the model X , I love the doors on it and road trip potential
no way.. big fan of your instrumentals. You'll easily get this car
I agree with everything you said. I bought a 2013 Model S for my wife after owning it for about 3 months I purchased a 2018 Model 3. No more ICE cars in this family. Cannot wait for my Cyber Truck!
Nice!! A true Tesla family. I’m excited for Cybertruck too! 👀
What do you do for a living I’m 19 tryna get like you
What is your house salary?
Bought a 2020 Model S performance and get it in a week, have a cybertruck ordered as well

The charger being at home is way more convenient, you’ll enjoy your Tesla more.
I agree. I’ll be getting one installed soon 👌🏽
Yes it’s awesome, and you can leave the mobile cord in the car for emergencies/long trips (charging at non-SC sites).

Not screwed but it’s definitely an inconvenience.
We just picked up our ‘19 Model S last week, used from Tesla.
11,000 miles

21” Turbine wheels
Love it.
Super jealous of those 21” Turbine wheels! They look amazing especially on the white. Enjoy 🥂

Thank you so much for your thoughts. Beautiful car. Many happy safe miles!
Thanks for the post! I had been eyeing the used Model S's online for the last couple months - snagged one last week that dropped at an amazing price with the features I wanted! Fingers crossed my delivery etc goes well. I'll check back to watch your buying experience video.
Nice! You’re going to love it 😎👍🏽 hopefully everything goes smoothly!
Great cinematography, good narration and an honest review that gets straight to the point and isn't slanted one way or the other. Easy to watch and looking forward to more content about this car. Really good video. I couldn't find the link to your buying experience video anywhere in this video's description. Can we get some info about that?
Hands down one of the best reviews, no fan boy activity here, just straight to the point very entertaining. Great video!
Thanks a lot! ✊🏽
Funny how I Purchased my 2015 MS 85D (19744 Miles @ Purchase) the same way... un-Expectantly while waiting to get brake fluid change on a 2018 Mini Countryman S. I ended leaving the Mini at Dealership and the Tesla home. to this day no regrets..
Nice!! So you bought it from a traditional dealership and not Tesla?

Ditto to Jay. I have the Model S 75 white (in H-Town) Love it. 👍🏻
Very nice! Might have already seen you at a Supercharger 😎
Great video. This is how many of us come to Tesla. I just got the MCU2 for mine (2016 S75, black on black, carbon fiber, turbines) and it feels like a brand new car. The new displays, faster performance, internet, streaming, sentry mode, enhanced Autopilot visuals are impressive. They also gave me the full self driving computer.
I’m not going to lie it is very tempting, I’m not sure what I’m waiting for 😅
Welcome to the family!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks for helping me understand about Telsa. Very enjoyable video.
Came to your Videos bye suggestions and loved it...kudos!
Really looking forward to your next video about the buying process from Tesla. I’m at the crossroads between a new 3 or Y vs a used S. I’m really particular about my vehicles condition and this has me leaning towards a new one. I’ve seen a lot of condition disparity between Tesla cpo cars when they used to show pics. This has me nervous going through the process without seeing the car. Looking forward to your thoughts and more vids.
I can see why you’d be nervous. Hopefully my next video helps you!
My 4 year old P100D has been perfect....
at least for me. Relaxing or cannonball runs out to Vegas, blistering hole shots at the dragstrip or anywhere else there might be a green light.... or.... an on ramp. Amp out!
Love it 😎
Upgrade the MCU you will not regret it. They may recall your screen for the memory chip if it has not already been replaced. The old screens get a yellow boarder that gets worse overtime. If the car has FSD they may upgrade it to the 3.0 hardware from your 2.5. I have almost the same model without air and glass roof, RWD tends to eat tires as I am finding out so keep them rotated to get 20 or 25k out of them. If you have winter weather or salty conditions service the brakes every year (remove rust and dirt from pads and lube contact surfaces). Tesla comes out with new things all the time, your car might have options that are no longer available that you want or don't want in my case so trading in for a newer one may not be worth it. I use the car connector that comes with the car on a 14-50 outlet and it works fine, you really do not need a wall charger.
Thanks for all the info! I know mine qualifies for the recall but Tesla isn’t replacing the MCU just the memory.
@@TheTechMillennial I have been waiting on them to call me in for recall after I started getting random reboots. still no call on parts received. I compared the MCU1 and MCU2 (Check UA-cam) differences and its worth the much reduced price of $1500.00 recall only upgrades EMMC chip from 8GB to 64GB but MCU1 will still lag and not have the added MCU2 features I have appointment for April 2021 to upgrade
installing NEMA 14-50 soon. it will bump up from 3mph to 23mph. that will give you plenty time to keep off the superchargers (not good daily use) until really needed. I use 120v outlet now but my daily commute is only 25 miles round trip just to and from work. I have been doing fine after using a SC to bring up to 90%. since that the 120v has been doing great. NEMA 14-50 will allow me to be more carefree with my daily travels. :-D
I’m highly considering MCU 2 for that reason as well. And I’ve already contacted an electrician to get a quote on 220v NEMA 14-50 installation 👌🏽 should be doing it soon hopefully so no more SC 🙏🏽
@@TheTechMillennial Check out Gruber Motors channel. They work on Tesla's and I believe they sell some parts. You might be able to upgrade the MCU cheaper with them, I believe they do that as well.
Best video on this subject I’ve seen so far great job!
Thanks so much! 😎
Man you went through the same thought process I did. I'm currently awaiting delivery of my 100D Model S. Have also been worried that it wouldn't have enough "umph", but glad to hear that's not an issue. Curious to see if you had the same problems I did with their buying process though.
Just realized you're also in Houston. So I'm *definitely* curious of your experience. I've been seeing (and experiencing) some negative things about the Houston - North Delivery Center in particular
You definitely won’t regret it! And stay tuned. 👍🏽

I love my Raven Model S Performance with FSD. Best car I ever owned. It’s a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, when I go from chill mode to Ludicrous. I hardly ever use ludicrous plus. It’s fast at ludicrous. Good video.
Wow! That performance must be too much fun 😁 and thanks!
I like the choice of specs you went for.
Thanks! 😎
Good , honest review. Thankyou
You should if you haven’t already ceramic coat the exterior and interior to help preserve the Tesla. Nice video. Am in the market for a either a model s or model y. Would like to start off on a low mile certified one, but have to research it more.
Great vid, didn’t know uncorking was possible on the non-D 75 version.
Apparently it’s some very specific models but I’m glad mine did!
Nice info thanks!! Congrats 🎉
OMG THIS IS THE MOST SPOT ON VIDEO OF ME RIGHT NOW....I’m binging these Tesla videos Lol 😂

Thank you brother!
When is the 2nd video coming? Very much looking forward to it.
Thanks for the support! Working on it as we speak. Will do my best to get out by this upcoming week 👌🏽
loved your review, when is the buying experience video going up ?
Just spent the past week moving to an entirely new house so that pushed the video back but I’m back on track now!
saving up for a model s too. Greets from Germany. i just hit the sub button.
Nice! Cheers 🥂
I’m in love with my model 3 ! My dream car... the new model S
One day 😎
LOL about the pannel gaps, went to a mercedes dealer and on the floor was a GL wagon. The passenger side door gap was terrible from almost touching the bottom to wide at the top. The rear door was almost as bad but it made the entire side look like someone crashed it really hard. In the very rear the orange peel was so bad that I actually thought my first impression that this was a accident car that had been fixed. Nope a 2023. the salesperson seemed to blow over it saying that they would fix the issues.
I definitely want to install a home charger first before I get a Tesla. Currently researching on some non-Tesla charger so I'll be able to charge different EV's than just Tesla (Future-Proof). Loved the review. I'm Still debating on getting a preowned or a new Model S.
Just have an electrician install a 240v in your garage and you’ll be good 👍🏽 get a preowned one for sure, you save a lot of money 😅
you don't post much, but your production quality is 🔥🔥🔥 - how did you get so good?
Yo Shervin! What's up man. I recently saw your Apple Watch Ultra video and I'm going thru comments now and see you left this comment haha. Appreciate it man 💪🏽
@@TheTechMillennial you inspired me!! he's back rom the ☠ HAHAH
Haha thanks man! Your video was very interesting too! But I'm alive 😎
Just an FYI, you can schedule to have your FSD computer upgraded to the latest hardware for no charge through the app. You also have the option to have the MCU unit upgraded as well though it is a $1500 charge(also schedulable through the app).
Might do the MCU upgrade it’s tempting!
You might want to consider the MCU 2 upgrade at some point sooner than later. I have a 2015 Model S and it got to the point of not updating anymore. Once upgraded from. MCU 1 to MCU 2, it started updating again. I only have AP1, but I found the update as a good update that makes the car feel fresh again. You car will leverage the MCU 2 and make the FDS better. I know... $1500 is a chunk of change, but I found it to be worth the money. Also, thanks for the great video!!
All these comments keep tempting me to get it! I can imagine how great it is I’m just not sure if the cost justifies it. And thank you!
@@TheTechMillennial agreed! It’s nice for sure, but I would use what you have first and foremost. Make sure to fix the 8GB eMMC chip in the MCU1. It should be under warranty. Mine broke twice before the recall was issued. That will ensure that your system works. And if you decide to go for MCU2, then you’ll see the difference for sure. And if not, the car should remain functioning as intended.
Good quality content will wait for delivery video👍 😁
Thank you, thank you! 🙏🏽
Wish I could afford one. the upkeep on a car like this is probably insane. Definitely want to get off gas and go full electric.
Your charging experience improves 10 fold after installing a 240v outlet in garage. If possible, go for a nema 14-50 outlet. My gen1 UMC cable delivers 29-30 miles per hr charging. I installed two, one for primary house and other for vacation home. Frequent supercharging is not good for battery so mix lots of slow charging with less frequent fast charging. Complete that move ASAP!
I can imagine what a huge difference it’s going to make not having to worry about plugging it in every single day! And you’re right about the damage supercharging could cause to the battery. Thanks!
Good video quality. You should do more.
So welcome to the Tesla family and you may not be a fan boy yet but you will be! So I’ve had my Tesla Model 3 now for a little over 2 years & when took delivery it did have a few issues, but as you said, nothing that would have made it a dealbreaker & all of the issues were easily fixable & they were, so like you I don’t have a way to charge at home because I live in an apartment complex, so I charge my car exclusively using Tesla supercharger‘s! So when I first got the car the nearest Tesla supercharger was approximately 17 miles away in another state, however, since then Tesla has installed 2 additional superchargers near where I live & now the closest one is 5 miles away in my state! So I have the longe range battery pack & since I do not have a commute because I’m retired, I may need to charge the car a couple of times a week depending on my driving needs for that particular week, no real big deal at all! Of course with the adapter I have access to charging stations even closer than the Tesla superchargers, but because of the slow rate of charger, I almost never use them & some are free like at certain Whole Foods stores! So the way I see it if anyone comparing a Tesla to any other car is comparing apples to oranges, because there’s so many advantages to owning a Tesla & I’m hoping that they do a refresh on the Model 3 & offer the yoke steering wheel & air suspension as an option, that will make the deal real good & it’s something I will definitely can get excited about! So Elon if you’re listening, make it happen brother!
The negatives are definitely outweighed by the positives! I absolutely love this car. Cheers to the Tesla family 🥂
It is a very good point you made, that there are no pictures of the used cars on their website. You essentially buy "die Katze im Sack", not knowing if the price you see and the limited data on the car justifies the asking price.
I wonder, does the website state the hardware specs; like which MCU is installed?
Only Tesla could get away with that because of their high demand. But I think overall they did a really great job of staying within their specified guidelines.
Then don’t specify MCU because all Model S & X built after 2018 came with MCU 2. And all Model 3 and Y ever made have MCU 2 as well.
The upgraded infotainment is listed on the used inventory now.
Oh nice! Just checked it out and you’re right 👍🏽
Thanks for the info. When is the buying experience video coming out?
Working on it now!
@@TheTechMillennial Thanks! Looking forward to your review
Bruh...this is some quality production. I highly recommend getting MCU 2 upgrade if you plan on keeping the car for a while but plan it out, you might just want to trade it in for a latest Tesla soon you never know lol
Thank you! ✊🏽 and you’re right 👀 might get a slightly used Model S refresh in a 2 years 🤔
@@TheTechMillennial keep an eye on what’s going with the latest Tesla MCU recall on older models 😈
Yep! They emailed me already lol. But it’s not a MCU recall just a component.
I’ve a 2013 P85 w/MCU1. I have fobless entry and driving on mine with the app.
Without having to take out your phone and go into the Tesla app?
@@TheTechMillennial You need to leave the Tesla app open for the car to detect it.
@@TheTechMillennial Reason for that is because once you close the app, your car's connection to your phone gets completely cut off. If the app is running in the background, it's still using your Bluetooth, it's just in sleep mode. So your phone is still keeping the app running, just doesn't cut the connection. So as long as this app is open, your car will continually track your location.
@@TheTechMillennial This is also the same as the Model 3. It's all the same. It's phone tech limitations. If Elon designed this, it would be completely different. (Just clearing that part up lol)
Okay makes sense. Sounds like an iPhone limitation more than anything lol.
Great professional video, making me want to buy a Tesla now!
Do it 😎
Great video really enjoyed the humor And would probably be impulsive and purchase one the exact same way
Thank you!
Great video, very informative. Model 3 long range looks interesting, not really thought of a preloved Model S.
Thank you! And it definitely comes down to preference but if I had to start over I would pick a preloved Model S over a new Model 3 all over again! 👌🏽
@@TheTechMillennial Definitely a good selection on preloved cars on the Tesla site. Weird that Tesla have done the opposite of Vroom, Shift, and Carvana who seem to try and have lots of detailed pictures.
Demand is way too high, they could care less 😂 they know it will sell with or without pictures.
@@TheTechMillennial True, definitely in demand.
I don’t imagine any other brand out there getting away with it the way Tesla does, it’s pretty fascinating really.
Great video. Any trouble keeping the white interior clean? What would you use to clean it?
Am 15 it's my dream car hopefully when I grow up I will get it
Great video mate! I had a couple of questions. What is your experience with the yoke steering wheel? How much did the car cost you? And also does the upgrade to MCU 2 with Netflix + faster speeds cost $1500? And is this AP3.0?
No yoke steering wheel on mine, it’s a 2017! The MCU 2 does cost $1,500 and mine had AP 2.5 but was upgraded to 3.0 for free because I have FSD!
@@TheTechMillennial thank you! and once again great video!
Panel gaps doesn’t bother me anymore. The overall experience and ownership far outweighs your issues. Congratulations
Agreed. That was my final conclusion at the end of this video as well :) thanks and cheers to the Tesla family 🥂
Some of your complaints I would say are because you bought the older model, but as you said you can get the MCU2 update. I believe if you ask the service dept because you have FSD the 2.5 gets upgraded to 3.0 as part of that, at least it was reported by folks. Might check the Tesla Motors Club forum for how people got that done (free). I have a 2019 X with 2.5, but I didn't spring for FSD. Though I did order my 2021 Model S last week, so getting the refreshed version.
Yes I know, they were minor complaints that can mostly be resolved. I’m still happy regardless. I got the AP 3 already installed for feee 😎
great editing!
Thanks ✊🏽
Moved yet? If not, maybe there's a 110v that can be upgraded to 20 amps? It'd be a new breaker and a new outlet and probably less than $100 including the additional pigtail for the mobile charger. Go NEMA 14-50 if you can. That charges our 2021 Model 3 at 34 mi/hr. The nearest supercharger is only 15 mi away if we're in a hurry, but that'd mean we just got back from a trip and needed to head out immediately.
curious how much you paid? seems like you got a mint vehicle man. congrats. I have the exact same config, and just go the MCU upgrade, I am soooo happy with the upgrade. my voice command button was essentially worthless before upgrading.
I’ll be going over all of that in my upcoming video :) and I hate how voice command basically doesn’t work! Might have to get the MCU upgrade for that 😒
The title is deceiving.. but the content is nice!!! And yes... the Model S, what an incredible CAR!!! Amazing!!!
You think so? How so? But thanks for the support 😁
Love your new Tesla. It is unquine. In all ways LOVE ❤️ IT!
I remember taking my 75D to be uncorked at the service centre, 90 to 100hp for free!
The 75 models were never actually able to be "uncorked" but I can see why Tesla are using that term, only some 75D vin numbers qualified, the confusion here is that Tesla had increased the horsepower of brand new 75 and 75D cars from the factory from mid 5 second 0-60 to mid 4 seconds some time in 2018. Owners of older cars went crazy on the forums demanding that their cars horsepower be unlocked, finally Tesla relented and gave as many people as possible the extra power by using the 85D config on some 75D cars. On the service invoice it would say:
Uncorked performance $0 or good will...
Your car is the faster model but it came like that from the factory.
I read somewhere that it also has something to do with a new motor that Tesla starting manufacturing and if your 75 came with that newer motor that’s what let you get the Uncorked Acceleration but I may be wrong.
@@TheTechMillennial yes that's true in that they did slightly upgrade rear motor for the new cars but none of the old single motor cars were able to be uncorked. If you have a 75 that's 0-60 in 4.4 or whatever then you have the ugraded factory car
"I bought a Tesla Model S *unexpectedly!*"
Yep lol
I like the production value of this video
Thank you!
Congrats on the Tesla! I have a Model 3, and agree with many of the things you like about it. To be fair...pretty much all of the things that you don't like about your Tesla are because you bought a used model from 2017. All brand new Tesla Model S has the features you want and like. It's like buying an iPhone 7 off of eBay and complaining that it doesn't have the features of the iPhone 12. So that brings me to an interesting point that you alluded to. Yes, the car improves with age due to over-the-air software updates. But there is a hardware limitation for that software. You will eventually get to a point in time where your current hardware will not run the latest software, and you'll be left behind. Just like a smartphone...same concept. In fact, I tell people all the time that I treat my Tesla like I do my smartphone. I always charge my phone at night so I have a full charge for the next day. My Tesla is no different. It charges in my garage off the 240v Tesla wall charger while I'm asleep, and it's ready for me the next day (I drive about 110 miles roundtrip per day). My Model 3 is also White on White; the perfect combo...and yours looks great! Again...congratulations!
I completely understand and that’s why I’m not too upset because I know technology over time becomes outdated. I just wanted to put out the good AND the bad but like my conclusion states I don’t regret my purchase :) once I have the 240v installed everything will be great! Cheers to the Tesla family 🥂
nice honest review! Do you think they will ever include interior ambient lighting to these cars? Maybe a software upgrade
Thank you! The new refreshed Model S/X were rumored to have some sort of interior lightning coming soon but nothing yet.

I finally had the funds to purchase a used model s, if they were priced like they were last year. Used car market made vehicles literally cost 10k more. I shall wait and you shall be mine !
you can update the media control unit, i want to say like $2500? I mean weird complaint since u bought a used car that its of course not most up to date hardware
Oh how I know the Feeling on Kitchen gadget Hell well thank God there is a goodwill store close by. You can’t do that with a car quite as easily. I learned my lesson luckily before I wasted to much.
75kWh not 75kW and that was not a good stipulation a 90kWh would have been a better choice. But for the money a 75kWh can be a very good value. It is a lovely car and still good for road trips as long as you take an "It's the journey" mindset and make good use of stop times instead of resenting stops. Great video.
wanting to get my wife a model s im waiting for my cyber truck and i cant wait to see what thatll be like
Very nice! I’m thinking about a CT myself 👀
Quality issues have been sorted and here in Europe we are now getting TESLAs from China and they are very well made. I suggest getting some third party cosmetic work and paint protection done they will sort out any blemishes.
Very good review! Had similar experience with what you had; Overall I love this car!
Am struggling with changing to the MCU2 chip, because you lose AM radio - I listen to news and traffic reports - however, i can still stream from my iphone if I wanted to. Only thing that is really holding me back from the upgrade is shortly after I got my car, less than a month, only 30K miles on it - 2016 90D - i got a warning indicator that resulted in spending almost $2 K on a coolant heater repair! Not a money issue , but it took some wind out of my sails.. Dampened some enthusiasm. Anyone else out there that had this repair??
AMAZING car! I ended up getting MCU 2. You can opt to get the radio module also installed for an extra $500, so it comes out to $2,000 total. I thought about doing the upgrade without the radio for $1,500 but I also do use it a lot.
Dude such a good review
Thanks 😎
Agree100% with your review (model S owner)

Thank you! And it’s 2017
@@TheTechMillennial Thank you for your response. Would be interested in a follow up video after you have owned your Model S for 3 to 6 months.

It's easy, to get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
Very well done video. Comment to support the channel.
Appreciate you 😎✊🏽
At 8:40: You can unlock and drive your Model S with your phone app without the key fob. I do it sometimes.
I’m referring to “Phone Key” which unlocks and starts your car without having to take your phone out of your pocket or use the app.
Do you happen to have a 110v 20A plug in your garage? Google NEMA 5-20 and see how it looks. It can accept one of the prongs being horizontal. If you have that, you can get a $35 adapter from Tesla and that will allow you to charge ~33% faster. Your 30 miles would become ~40 then...although idk why you only get 30 miles over night, you must work late and leave early?
No I actually charge in my garage and it doesn’t have that. I guess it’s a little more than that sometimes if I charge for 10 hours. But sometimes I’m very busy or get up early to do things before work so it doesn’t get to charge that long.
@@TheTechMillennial Do you have a dryer nearby? Those use 240v. You can run an extension cord and attached the mobile charger to it. You might need and adapter as well.
@@ymcpa73 This is what I did. I swapped out my unused 30A 220v dryer receptacle for a NEMA 14-30 receptacle from Home Depot for $10. I then purchased a 220v adapter from a Tesla for $35. I spent a total of $45 in parts and 15 minutes of sweat equity and problem solved!
you need to get MCU2, I have it on my 2014 p85 and it makes it feel like a brand new car.. it will affect your driving experience, because it is NOT just the chip.. they replace both your screens! the resolution is amazing.. the back up camera looks much better, the sound is better and you get all the new updates, first. Oh and yes, get a 240 box for your home. my old Tesla has "dual chargers" so it will charge at 22kw, instead of 11, but even then, it depends on how much you are pumping in. I only do 30 amps so I get 21 miles of charge per hour, which has always been just fine.. even on days where I drive a lot, if I am home for an hour, adding back 21 miles has made my day easier. so GET that MCU2 really! just think.. you got FSD for almost nothing.. make your car feel like new. btw, I have 105,000 miles on my car and I love all evs. and I will be keeping mine for as long as I can
It’s very tempting! I believe my S already has the higher resolution screen and backup camera already though. But eventually I think I’ll end up doing it for all the new features and better performance. Cheers 🥂
Tesla should be able to tell you is you have MCU2. If you have access to FM radio, you have MCU1. MCU2 will give you more visualizations in the driver display than MCU1.
Is your Maintenance costs as low as they say teslas/evs are?
