Let's be honest here. We have a good grasp of the Plaid from other channels. But we're still excited to see that title from Matt and Carwow. And the upcoming Plaid drag races...esp a potential Plaid vs Rimac drag race.
No point in a dragrace between the Plaid and the Rimac. The Rimac will crush it. Other than that, the Plaid will no doubt be among the quickest cars in the market.
2.4 seconds to 60 on a dirty, sandy, and slightly uphill canyon road! Let's not kid ourselves. That is mighty impressive for a 2.2 tonne car. Even though I'm not a Tesla fan, I still think this is one hell of a car. Well done Elon. Well done Matt.
@@aces567 The good average is 2.1-2.2 seconds, with 1ft roll out included. Tesla says its 1.99s*, but notice the asterisk, that means its the number without the 1ft roll out. Which is actually correct. People have been able to get it even bellow 2.1s which is less than 1.99s*
7:04 You can actually disable the auto lock and unlock function when you’re at home in your garage or driveway. The car will remember your home location automatically. It will still unlock when you touch the door handles and lock using the key.
I have a feeling that the steering wheel could be a very bad thing in a quickly arisen emergency situation where you just react and have to turn quickly back and forth. You would most likely lose grip of the wheel and not manouver as intended.
That steering wheel only works in racing cars which have super quick steering racks that go from lock to lock in 3/4 turns, and they don't need to do parkings, 3 point turns or slow speed maneuvers.
HEY MAT!! The horn can also be activated by just placing your hand over all the buttons on the right! It will prioritize the HORN! It feels like slamming on a na ctuall horn! Just to let you know ✌🏽

Its still stupid. You often need to press the horn in emergency situations. They shouldve just made it a normal horn in the centre of the steering wheel

@@ultraguy8771 yup, that's what happens when you take a 1000hp road car on the track! a Taycan would have had the same problems on stock brakes, that's why people buy PSCB's or Carboceramics, just do the same on the Plaid and upgrade them, it's that easy. Plaid already destroyed a prototype taycan on stock brakes tho, 12 seconds on the Ring
@@alexk3469 a panemera GT will 60 in 2.4 secs with less than 60% battery, up a hill, on a road with loose gravel bits? 😂😂. Might wanna check that out fella considering it’s timed at 2.9 secs in perfect conditions lol
@@alexk3469 Id take the plaid over the Panamera. Panamera is way too overpriced. Slap some carbon ceramics on the plaid and considering its a lighter 1000 hp car with way more tech and practicality, i get why mat chose the plaid over panamera.
indeed. It after all a large 4 door luxury sedan. A lot of people forget that and say its a drag car but tbh, its pretty well rounded. Not something to take round the bends but something to daily drive and annihilate just about any car on the road.
I really like cars. But out of the thousands of UA-cam car channels, I like the carwow channel, because of how interesting the way of presenting any car by Mat. I love it and I'm addicted to it. Love from Sri Lanka...
Its amazing and I really do love how it looks. What I dislike about most new and futuristic cars is the overuse of touch-screens. I do understand, in todays world, its probably easier to just have a screen with a computer and just program all the things you need in it, then design buttons with all their wirings and stuff, but if your screen is faulty, you literally lose half of your cars functionality...
@@JustMeTalking yea as a tesla owner I just use voice commands. In my BMW that was shit, so its good they have buttons but on the tesla, voice all the way.
@@thedumbconspirator4956yeah but what if like the the electronics fail that’s what keeps me away from any of these very futuristic cars but with this I think I’ll still keep my Porsche 911 Turbo S
You even have to buy better brakes and the 21" wheels if you want to unlock the higher speed as it doesn't actually do the 200mph sales claim either yet.
The normal brake test will be ok. The problem is high speed braking, and repetitive high speed braking on tracks. The car is too powerful, too fast, and too heavy for the standard steel brakes. At normal trafic speeds, no problem.

To be honest, the S is the only Tesla I would consider at the moment. It’s the most conventional to use and easier for all of us transitioning to EVs, apart from the wheel, which you don’t need to reinvent, Elon….. At least give the option to have a round wheel. Have the yoke for the inner 12 year old, normal wheel for the grown ups.
I considered an S Plaid, but for about half the price, I got a 2021 3 Performance - which is no slouch - and a much more engaging drivers car IMO. If you're looking for a large luxury with a MASSIVE kick in pants, obviously the Plaid is where its at, but beyond the straight-line speed, not really my cup of tea as it is VERY big compared to the nimble 3.
3:08 nope. I love that it’s all on the screen. I hate the clutter in all these cars man. Put it all on there. I’d get rid of the door button too if it were legal and could be done safely. I’d get in and rather not even have a dial shifter or the levers in the steering wheel. Like I’d want there to be a wheel and nothing else at all in the car. Just throw it on the screen.
You're going to get tons of content from the Plaid. You will want to race any and every "quick" or "fast" car that you have, including the tuners, FI cars, Rally, and fast bikes. I can't wait to see them!

The real problem with a wheel like that, is that you can accidentally hit the top of it, and knock the whole car into oncoming traffic. That's so great about a round steering wheel: the shape deflects a hit.
That actually a good point, specially if it has a light steering. Although maybe that issue is slighly limited by the steering wheel not being "open" from below.
The S is the only Tesla model where the design works well with the proportions. The interior is a step up from the older one but the yoke looks like a dumb gimmick which will probably make your chances of crashing higher. I can appreciate the performance but it’s the accessibility of performance these days that has diminished the appeal of it overall in my opinion.
You may well be right, but a counter argument is that the yoke almost forces you to keep two hands on the wheel for turning. In America, where everyone drives with one hand almost exclusively it might actually be safer, not less safe.
For someone who mostly drives on slow roads with tight corners that steering wheel would be a nightmare. Not that I'll be buying one anytime soon. 96 grand? LOL
I bought one as well. Mat's assessment is spot on. It's far from perfect, but its hella fun! A lot of my favorite cars over the years have been like that - some were HORRIBLE cars in the conventional sense, but I loved them to bits nonetheless. And Mat didn't get a chance to try out the newly release Track Mode, which is a nice update in several ways - from stiffer suspension that you get in Sport mode to much stronger regen braking (which helps, but doesn't cure, the weak braking performance). The automatic lock/unlock behavior is configurable so you can make it behave like you want. There is a tradeoff between how quickly it locks behind you and such and how twitchy it is. That's 100% adjustable. And the horn also has a secret - you don't have to hit the button perfectly. You can just cover that entire section of the wheel with your palm and that, too, activates the horn - its much easier if you need a kind of a panic honk. Regarding the 0-60 performance: Mat was on smooth blacktop roads with some obvious sand or dirt - yeah, 2.40 seconds at 50% charge is about right. But put the car on concrete like the highway he was on, with 70% charge or more and you'll get 2.1, sometimes even 2.0x seconds without subtracting rollout. Yep - on concrete roads I can get 2.08 seconds of TRUE, honest, no rollout games 0-60 time. But the best part of acceleration is ABOVE 60mph/100kph - this car's acceleration doesn't fall off after 60 like the Taycan does when it shifts into 2nd gear. Nope - the Plaid pulls and pulls and pulls and pulls. You don't really notice the relentless acceleration falling off until 110, maybe 120mph. And even then its only just. It will outrun just about anything all the way to the now improved 175mph limit. Once the carbon ceramic brakes are available this will have several benefits. First and most obvious, it will cure the braking issues 100%. The new rotors are 420mm which is on par with the Taycan Turbo S (which is several hundred pounds heavier). But it will also reduce unsprung mass - improving handling. Last - it will lower the rotational inertia of the wheels, which will slightly further improve acceleration. Last thoughts: The charging performance of Plaid beats everything out there, hands down. It may not be the peak KW best, but in terms of range added per unit time, its tits. And the overall range of Plaid at 350-400 miles (even though we ALL know Tesla overstates this), is still far better than you'll get in many EVs. Yes the Lucid Air is better - but its heavier, less sporty, and almost none exist right now. Plus there are far fewer places to charge it. The EQS is also super nice with its 108kwhr pack - I just don't like the look of it and its not nearly as sporty. Personally I think once the new brakes are out this will round out this car and make it super nice.
Really keeping my fingers crossed for Tesla to build a version with full steering wheel and stock buttons for frequently used functions while driving so that I don't have to take my eyes off the road and fuff around the touch surface.
It’s unfortunate and they’re truly missing out. The yoke holds the car back by a lot, and so many aftermarkets are going to fix Tesla’s wheel, and make so much money off of that that Tesla could’ve made themselves had they at least had an option for a normal steering wheel. Tragic.
They’ll never do that. They haven’t before, and they won’t. It’s a gimmick car brand that appeals to a lot of impractical people. That’s why the breaks are shit but it accelerates fast.
1:03 - Those "too small" 19" wheels translate to a quicker 1/4 mile time though. I have 12,000 miles with the yoke and it works just fine. 16:25 - Motor Trend measured 2.07 seconds on an unprepared track (and theirs had the slower 21" wheels).

I had a Plaid since September and yoke is great. Getting use to the buttons is the part that takes the most. But after a few weeks muscle memory kicks in and you are good to go. No complains here. Love the yoke.
For the horn, if you just slap a bunch of the buttons on the right it'll press the horn apparently. :) As a fallback to make it less of a problem to hit in an emergency.
Surprised by the Buy verdict from Mat. I was sure he had an issue with the Yoke. Honestly it is the fastest car you can buy which is also a great family car. A lot of people won’t like it but Tesla don’t need them to fill their orders
Quickest but not fastest by a long way. Even the 2003 Jaguar S Type R has a higher top speed with well under half the power. Even purely in terms of acceleration, it launches very fast but there are quite a number of cars which beat it accelerating from 30mph including the 2007 BMW M5. It has the imoressive 0-60 figure but that's it really. It just launches very, very fast and unless you like spending on tyres you'll rarely use that anyway.
@@stevec6427 yeah and where exactly you gonna go faster than say 120-130 mph ? People saying ohh I’m gonna get this Porsche or this brabus because it hits 200-210mbh but where on earth you gonna drive that fast ? That’s a death wish
Went from Audi RS5 to etron S Sportback, to Model 3 Long Range and it’s also the best overall car I’ve had… People who have never had the chance to drive those cars can’t understand… So their only comment is LOL…
@@WiZe1972 "Best car" is quite an umbrella term and can mean multiple things. If your main subjective critirias are easy of use, eco-friendliness, tech gadgetry, and launches, i can fully understand why model 3 is the best car. More traditional petrolheads are (and i guess will forever be) emotionally "calibrated" to like internal combustion engines and vehicles (that are usually lighter). For them, a Tesla is subjectively never going to be a better car. No point arguing over subjective preferences
After have experienced a lot of vehicles (from 5cylinder Volvos and 6cylindrt Benzes to tuned hot hatches)the Tesla is a great car. Yeah it’s not the best (but not one car is the best because there are a lot nice cars). After a long ride in the backseat of a Tesla I can tell you that it’s really comfy and quick. Also the software is really good, and the supercharging thing is also the best.
Is it just me or do people just seem to over look faults with teslas because of how fast they are? If a bmw/audi or equivalent had the issues teslas have they would get absolutely slated. It’s a £100,000 car and it has a window seal problem and problem with the cup holder. I get cars have faults but £100,000 things that simple shouldn’t be wrong on a brand new car 🤷🏼♂️
I agree with you, from the moment a 100k car has building problems that a small hatchback with 15 years never had, it’s just a big no for me. Let alone how unreliable my boss P85 is.
I had more glitches with Range rovers which I overlooked for years. So far can't fault my tesla. Although I would have stuck with range rover if they got their act together and went electric.
Thinking the same. Every little thing is "oooomg!!! It is soo Good!" While you have Noise, quality, and general breaking and stuff that is not that great if even good. And Americans love to tinker with the numbers so take what they say with a grain of salt
You free to list the faults Tesla has with cars atm that roll from the production line. Window seal problems happen, even on mercerdes S class and Audi A8. The EQS atm have also issue in production and it's mercedes top of the line luxery model (how i know, i program some of the production process at the final assembly line in Daimler). The Mercedes EQS has been recalled for Infotainment glitches, the audi RS E-tron has been recalled for suspenstion issue. Than I will take a Tesla any day with a panel having 0.1 inch more gap. So it's easy to point fingers, but Tesla is not unique in having issue during production process. Working on assembly lines for different brands, you realize that no car is perfect and they all using shenanigans to hide the problems most of the time, but a normal person don't see those issues. I would advise to check a recall list for like Mercedes S lines, audi A8 etc, you will be amazed what kind of issues the top of the line models have.
Things I don’t like: - Steering wheel - Gear selector - Not able to get chrome instead of black - Feels like there’s more tech than neccesary. Only makes it difficult to use What I like: - Speed and stats - Interior - Exterior design - Storage
Love how this looks and in the metal the model S is stunning, Tesla have undoubtedly created the EV market, nice specs and tech too for the money. Sadly however I feel its way to fiddly to use in daily driving with all that touch screen functions and gear/direction selections. Sometimes design for designs sake isn't worth it.
I rented a Tesla Model 3 for a long trip. It's not fiddly at all to drive, it's relaxing and fun. The car generally does what you want, it has voice controls for most functions, and the screen interface is very intuitive. It's funny how UA-cam commenters are so confident that they know more about designing a good driving experience than paid engineers.
@@skierpage If the voice controls work every time thats great, however not everyone wants to be driving about talking to their car? I imagine it is a great driving car, very relaxed and very smooth. As the model 3 I drove was too. The reason I can be so confident about the infotainment and lack of actual controls buttons and the need to be using sub menus to access most things (if voice command doesn't work) is because like I said in my comment for me, in my preference. I sometimes just like a simple button, one touch and it does what I want it to do. That's all.
will wait a little and big companies will smash this tesla with cars with normal buttons and steering wheel...etc... its just a joke.... what we will add to new tesla s - cause the body wil be the same, oh i know lets add joke, and lets rotate screen a nd speeddddd.... just piece of crap like iphones...
I can tell you from experience (Tesla, not plaid) that it's the greatest car I've ever driven, has made all other cars obsolete, and I cannot see myself ever driving anything else, ever. Cyber Truck on order to pull my travel trailer around the North American continent in retirement. My 3 will go to my daughter, currently 14 years old. The amount I save each year on gas equals 6-7 of my 12 monthly payments. I've calculated my net cost (gas, maintenance, finance payments, etc.) to be around $200-$225 per month with nothing down since all the rebates covered my down payment.
The 0-60 measurement on Little Tujunga Canyon road (my old stomping ground) is noticeably uphill. Looks like he had some fun in the Santa Monica Mountains, too.
Got my 2022 Model S Plaid and it's incredibly fast! I am getting used to the yoke but the horn and the glove compartment button on the screen are too much. Overall, I love it!
One of the most luckiest person on earth is *Mat* His job is extremely incredible Reviewing cars whenever they were presented to the public As usual good review
Same goes with Doug DeMuro. He reviewed multiple cars, including some that are extremely rare to the public (like a McLaren F1). Both are legendary car reviewers
The boot space numbers should be taken with a grain of salt since Tesla uses the (SAE) standard that measures volume all the way to the headliner while the German, Korean and Japanese brands use a different standard (VAD) which measures volume up the top of the rear seat. Model Y boot for example is about the size of the one in the VW ID4 although official numbers seem to suggest a 300L difference.
They are very very creative with their marketing, like claiming it’s the first road car to do 0 to 60 in under 2 seconds, when they don’t actually take that time from a standing start. Tesla aren’t very honest in their advertising it has to be said.
@@abraxastulammo9940 yes saw this, but the discrepancy still exists in Europe. UK and EU car reviewers routinely report on the Model Y having a 854 L boot while comparing it to the competition.
the plaid badge you didn't like is actually aftermarket, not stock, unless the one you're reviewing happens to be one of the first few dozen delivered in person at their launch event.
Face it, the vast majority of Tesla Plaid buyers get them for one thing....they are the fastest cars on the planet (a caveat here that I should mention is other European cars that come fairly close to the Plaids performance usually cost at least double the Plaids base price, and the Rimac Nevera, which is about a half second faster than a Plaid, last week was certified legal for all countries safety requirements, will only have 150 models made and costs $2,400,000 before options!) that you can buy from a manufacturer that you don't have to spend an additional $20-$30K to modify them to still be slower than a S Plaid. AND for you folks that agree and have interest in speed rather than how far we can go on a charge, or how much your Teslas will be worth 3 years from now, or the minor fit and finish issues that are always mentioned by Tesla haters, and are usually taken care by Tesla when mentioned when you buy this Model, this will be right up your alley! The TOP LINE Lucid Air offers 1,111HP, while the Plaid offers a supposedly 1,020HP, BUT there is a UA-cam video that has a Plaid on a 4 hub dyno that develops 1,101HP STOCK from the factory. The Plaid also weighs approximately 400 pounds LESS than the Lucid Air, and averages between $20,000 to $30,000 Less than the advertised $179,900 than the Lucid costs DEPENDING ON OPTIONS CHOSEN for each car. Last month a Tesla Model S Plaid in Napierville, Quebec set the new record for the fastest quarter-mile time for the electric sedan at 8.83 seconds and 161mph. The Model S had a stripped out interior for weight savings, as well as SV104 wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson drag radials at the rear and Michelin PS4 tires on the front. Not content with the blistering fast time, the same Model S Plaid has set a new record this week. At the same track in Napierville the Model S crossed the line in just 8.77 seconds at 162.55mph (261.60km/h), a 5.67 second 1/8 mile time and an outstanding 125MPH to 162MPH time in 3.1 seconds!!! As for what changed that allowed the car to go faster this time the owner, TMC user mulot30th, said there was an additional 60lb weight saving over the previous attempt due to someone else being behind the wheel on the run. Additionally he said there a slight change to the suspension. “Main change is suspension geometry change (slight) which reduce “tire drag” a little bit at least that is what I intended to do with that and have worked,” he said. Interestingly, the top speed at the end of his quarter mile run of 162.55mph is inches away from the electronically limited top speed (when not in Track Mode) of 163mph. As first told earlier this week, Quebec-based Ingenext was able to hack their way past that limiter and reached a top speed of 216mph (347km/h). As for this Model S Plaid, the owner says that while the car does not feel like it is slowing down when crossing the line, he feels there is not much room to improve beyond 8.77s with the current setup, but a BIG brake option available from Tesla and several other Tesla specific after market parts dealers at a much reduced price, and TOP OF THE LINE HIGH SPEED RATED STREET TIRES should also be used! You can check out the record runs both of TOP SPEED and FASTEST QUARTER MILE time on several UA-cam 9

Love your “tell it like you see it” no sugar coating review style. That steering wheel is a big question mark to me. Maybe for the people who have a bevy of other vehicles at their disposal and this is not their daily driver. Aside from concern about accident avoidance, seems it would promote fatigue in not being able to rest a hand on top. And what about one handed driving? Yes, I realize the car can assist in “auto pilot”. Couple that with having to find that little horn button in an instant!
Ive been daily driving one for a couple of months. It did take me a while to adapt - but I have found that fatigue is actually not a big deal. The yoke is a bit wider and allows you a VERY comfortable hand resting position with elbows easily on left and right armrest areas and is actually more comfortable than a round wheel because you have to stretch further to do that with a round wheel. Overall yes - its a gimmick. Sort of. There are ways that it is, but also ways in which it is very functional. I've gotten very skilled at parking, 3 point turns, and much more. My take is that everyone is used to decades of memory using ONLY round wheels - so it absolutely takes longer to adapt. But it is fairly easy to use after a longer-than-normal adaptation period.
There are new LED's front lights already spotted in shanghai showrooms and a different charge port and an visual update on the trunk. edit: TIL Tesla is known for around 23 changes per model per week. Toyota does around 20 changes per year.
I just tested this on my Plaid with the latest software (updated TODAY) and it doesn't recognize this yet. That's not to say it won't with a future change. I can imagine that command would be useful.
@@timothygillette3659 it doesn't, the only thing on my older S that is in a menu and I want access to is fog lights. However, it's not possible to turn on the fog lights with voice commands.
It would drive me mad not being able to adjust the mirrors without going through menus on a touchscreen. Awesome machine though, I just don't think Touchscreens should control everything.
I’ve literally set my mirrors 1 time since ever getting my car lol. How often are you actually changing your mirrors? Just set a profile for anyone who regularly drives your car and it re-adjusts automatically whenever you need to drive. You literally set it 1 time and it’s done forever
As you can clearly see right before you launch it, the battery is at less than 50%. To get to 2.1 which is the fastest time WITH 1ft rollout you have to be at 100-90%
The Ferrari Stradale has the fastest 0-60 time ever for a production car by Car and Driver at 2.0 seconds flat. The Rimac Nevera is probably about the same but not as consistent.
Not a big issue but at 10:43 when he is talking about shuffling the wheel. It is definitely possible to as long as you don't wank the air off next to the wheel and actually grab the other side of the fucking wheel.
Idk but 2,4 sec for 1000hp even with half batterie is far away from the claimed under 2sec…and that you need to prepare your batterie for 5min. All in all the taycan is the better car even with less hp. It can delivere the power the whole time with consistence. I would have liked to see the 60-0 breakdistance
@@MrRaph1260 The Taycan puts its numbers down the 5th, 10th or even 15th time. Tesla needs 5 minutes to prepare and already loses performance after the 1st launch.

Arrgh. I really wish the controls were a combination of physical buttons and screen, as opposed to it all being accessed that way. Apart from that... lovely car!
Nope it's actually a very good car. The thing has tonnes of grip in the twisties and as Mat mentioned it corners absolutely flat. There's more to this car than the 0-100 times. Not a Tesla fanboy btw, I'll never buy one but it was the most fun I've ever had in a 4 door car for the one afternoon I had one.
If the 0-100 would be around 7s no one would bat an eye..change my mind. Not saying that its not a good car and all but its the performance which exites people, and Ive driven the Model S....

I have a feeling that the steering wheel could be a very bad thing in a quickly arisen emergency situation where you just react and have to turn quickly back and forth. You would most likely lose grip of the wheel and not manouver as intended.
That steering wheel only works in racing cars which have super quick steering racks that go from lock to lock in 3/4 turns, and they don't need to do parkings, 3 point turns or slow speed maneuvers.

Would of been interesting to see the brake test. A lot of complaints about the lack of brakes in comparison to the amount of power
You even have to buy better brakes and the 21" wheels if you want to unlock the higher speed as it doesn't actually do the 200mph sales claim either yet.
The normal brake test will be ok. The problem is high speed braking, and repetitive high speed braking on tracks. The car is too powerful, too fast, and too heavy for the standard steel brakes. At normal trafic speeds, no problem.

To be honest, the S is the only Tesla I would consider at the moment.

Have the yoke for the inner 12 year old, normal wheel for the grown ups.
@Damar Fadlan they are not in the same market or useage
The Model 3 and Y are still viable cars ,if you are willing to get used to a new car
I considered an S Plaid, but for about half the price, I got a 2021 3 Performance - which is no slouch - and a much more engaging drivers car IMO. If you're looking for a large luxury with a MASSIVE kick in pants, obviously the Plaid is where its at, but beyond the straight-line speed, not really my cup of tea as it is VERY big compared to the nimble 3.
E63, M5 for me thank you .
This car is way more than we need. 1020 HP? Are you kidding me? It launches faster than a Buggatti.
3:08 nope. I love that it’s all on the screen. I hate the clutter in all these cars man. Put it all on there. I’d get rid of the door button too if it were legal and could be done safely. I’d get in and rather not even have a dial shifter or the levers in the steering wheel. Like I’d want there to be a wheel and nothing else at all in the car. Just throw it on the screen.
You're going to get tons of content from the Plaid. You will want to race any and every "quick" or "fast" car that you have, including the tuners, FI cars, Rally, and fast bikes. I can't wait to see them!

The real problem with a wheel like that, is that you can accidentally hit the top of it, and knock the whole car into oncoming traffic. That's so great about a round steering wheel: the shape deflects a hit.
Dont need to worry about steering wheel if you don't use it 🗿
That actually a good point, specially if it has a light steering. Although maybe that issue is slighly limited by the steering wheel not being "open" from below.
How can you accidentally hit the top of your steering wheel...?
I don't like the that steering wheel but didn't the car stop him from entering the other lane because he didn't signal?
@Damar Fadlan Damar and Amartya are in love! Woo...
The S is the only Tesla model where the design works well with the proportions. The interior is a step up from the older one but the yoke looks like a dumb gimmick which will probably make your chances of crashing higher.
I can appreciate the performance but it’s the accessibility of performance these days that has diminished the appeal of it overall in my opinion.
You may well be right, but a counter argument is that the yoke almost forces you to keep two hands on the wheel for turning. In America, where everyone drives with one hand almost exclusively it might actually be safer, not less safe.
@@ruk2023-- It’s not more safe, and most drivers still drive with both, especially in intense turning scenarios.
@UCeEp7xc1sdS2SkTK1KdRAZw shut up
For someone who mostly drives on slow roads with tight corners that steering wheel would be a nightmare. Not that I'll be buying one anytime soon. 96 grand? LOL
@@ruk2023-- That only works to a point, the yoke actually forces you to take hands off the wheel for tighter turns whereas a normal wheel wouldn't
Model S is IMO by far the nicest looking Tesla model out there.
not a high bar... 😂😂
I bought one as well. Mat's assessment is spot on. It's far from perfect, but its hella fun! A lot of my favorite cars over the years have been like that - some were HORRIBLE cars in the conventional sense, but I loved them to bits nonetheless.
And Mat didn't get a chance to try out the newly release Track Mode, which is a nice update in several ways - from stiffer suspension that you get in Sport mode to much stronger regen braking (which helps, but doesn't cure, the weak braking performance).
The automatic lock/unlock behavior is configurable so you can make it behave like you want. There is a tradeoff between how quickly it locks behind you and such and how twitchy it is. That's 100% adjustable.
And the horn also has a secret - you don't have to hit the button perfectly. You can just cover that entire section of the wheel with your palm and that, too, activates the horn - its much easier if you need a kind of a panic honk.
Regarding the 0-60 performance: Mat was on smooth blacktop roads with some obvious sand or dirt - yeah, 2.40 seconds at 50% charge is about right. But put the car on concrete like the highway he was on, with 70% charge or more and you'll get 2.1, sometimes even 2.0x seconds without subtracting rollout. Yep - on concrete roads I can get 2.08 seconds of TRUE, honest, no rollout games 0-60 time.
But the best part of acceleration is ABOVE 60mph/100kph - this car's acceleration doesn't fall off after 60 like the Taycan does when it shifts into 2nd gear. Nope - the Plaid pulls and pulls and pulls and pulls. You don't really notice the relentless acceleration falling off until 110, maybe 120mph. And even then its only just. It will outrun just about anything all the way to the now improved 175mph limit.
Once the carbon ceramic brakes are available this will have several benefits. First and most obvious, it will cure the braking issues 100%. The new rotors are 420mm which is on par with the Taycan Turbo S (which is several hundred pounds heavier). But it will also reduce unsprung mass - improving handling. Last - it will lower the rotational inertia of the wheels, which will slightly further improve acceleration.
Last thoughts: The charging performance of Plaid beats everything out there, hands down. It may not be the peak KW best, but in terms of range added per unit time, its tits. And the overall range of Plaid at 350-400 miles (even though we ALL know Tesla overstates this), is still far better than you'll get in many EVs. Yes the Lucid Air is better - but its heavier, less sporty, and almost none exist right now. Plus there are far fewer places to charge it. The EQS is also super nice with its 108kwhr pack - I just don't like the look of it and its not nearly as sporty.
Personally I think once the new brakes are out this will round out this car and make it super nice.

Really keeping my fingers crossed for Tesla to build a version with full steering wheel and stock buttons for frequently used functions while driving so that I don't have to take my eyes off the road and fuff around the touch surface.
They won't. Gimmicks like that are Tesla's thing.
It’s unfortunate and they’re truly missing out. The yoke holds the car back by a lot, and so many aftermarkets are going to fix Tesla’s wheel, and make so much money off of that that Tesla could’ve made themselves had they at least had an option for a normal steering wheel. Tragic.
@@M67v Repeat after me: "the yoke is a joke".
They’ll never do that. They haven’t before, and they won’t. It’s a gimmick car brand that appeals to a lot of impractical people. That’s why the breaks are shit but it accelerates fast.
They've already confirmed the yoke is here to stay and I severely doubt seeing any hard buttons in the foreseeable future
Matt is the best funny, super informative perfect car reviewer I’ve ever seen! I love his reviews
1:03 - Those "too small" 19" wheels translate to a quicker 1/4 mile time though.
I have 12,000 miles with the yoke and it works just fine.
16:25 - Motor Trend measured 2.07 seconds on an unprepared track (and theirs had the slower 21" wheels).
Brooks from dragtimes tested the plaid and got several runs in the 1.9 second range on the street with the 21s!!
From the day this car was released i was waiting for your review for its yoke steering wheel and i am happy to watch this.Thanks carwow

Surprised by the Buy verdict from Mat. I was sure he had an issue with the Yoke. Honestly it is the fastest car you can buy which is also a great family car. A lot of people won’t like it but Tesla don’t need them to fill their orders
Quickest but not fastest by a long way. Even the 2003 Jaguar S Type R has a higher top speed with well under half the power. Even purely in terms of acceleration, it launches very fast but there are quite a number of cars which beat it accelerating from 30mph including the 2007 BMW M5.
It has the imoressive 0-60 figure but that's it really. It just launches very, very fast and unless you like spending on tyres you'll rarely use that anyway.

Went from Audi RS5 to etron S Sportback, to Model 3 Long Range and it’s also the best overall car I’ve had… People who have never had the chance to drive those cars can’t understand… So their only comment is LOL…
@@ladislavhavelka6263 yeah how dare anyone express there opinion, right!?
@@neptunejupitersaturn yeah excatly. And people like you crying about it
@@WiZe1972 "Best car" is quite an umbrella term and can mean multiple things. If your main subjective critirias are easy of use, eco-friendliness, tech gadgetry, and launches, i can fully understand why model 3 is the best car.
More traditional petrolheads are (and i guess will forever be) emotionally "calibrated" to like internal combustion engines and vehicles (that are usually lighter). For them, a Tesla is subjectively never going to be a better car. No point arguing over subjective preferences
After have experienced a lot of vehicles (from 5cylinder Volvos and 6cylindrt Benzes to tuned hot hatches)the Tesla is a great car. Yeah it’s not the best (but not one car is the best because there are a lot nice cars). After a long ride in the backseat of a Tesla I can tell you that it’s really comfy and quick. Also the software is really good, and the supercharging thing is also the best.
Is it just me or do people just seem to over look faults with teslas because of how fast they are?
If a bmw/audi or equivalent had the issues teslas have they would get absolutely slated. It’s a £100,000 car and it has a window seal problem and problem with the cup holder. I get cars have faults but £100,000 things that simple shouldn’t be wrong on a brand new car 🤷🏼♂️
Given it’s fastest production car ever made in a straight line maybe it’s worth cutting some slack
I agree with you, from the moment a 100k car has building problems that a small hatchback with 15 years never had, it’s just a big no for me. Let alone how unreliable my boss P85 is.
I had more glitches with Range rovers which I overlooked for years. So far can't fault my tesla. Although I would have stuck with range rover if they got their act together and went electric.
Thinking the same. Every little thing is "oooomg!!! It is soo Good!" While you have Noise, quality, and general breaking and stuff that is not that great if even good.
And Americans love to tinker with the numbers so take what they say with a grain of salt
You free to list the faults Tesla has with cars atm that roll from the production line. Window seal problems happen, even on mercerdes S class and Audi A8. The EQS atm have also issue in production and it's mercedes top of the line luxery model (how i know, i program some of the production process at the final assembly line in Daimler). The Mercedes EQS has been recalled for Infotainment glitches, the audi RS E-tron has been recalled for suspenstion issue. Than I will take a Tesla any day with a panel having 0.1 inch more gap.
So it's easy to point fingers, but Tesla is not unique in having issue during production process. Working on assembly lines for different brands, you realize that no car is perfect and they all using shenanigans to hide the problems most of the time, but a normal person don't see those issues.
I would advise to check a recall list for like Mercedes S lines, audi A8 etc, you will be amazed what kind of issues the top of the line models have.
Things I don’t like:
- Steering wheel
- Gear selector
- Not able to get chrome instead of black
- Feels like there’s more tech than neccesary. Only makes it difficult to use
What I like:
- Speed and stats
- Interior
- Exterior design
- Storage
Only here to see your opinion on the steering „wheel“😂🥴
The review i have been waiting for IS FINALLY HERE!
Love how this looks and in the metal the model S is stunning, Tesla have undoubtedly created the EV market, nice specs and tech too for the money. Sadly however I feel its way to fiddly to use in daily driving with all that touch screen functions and gear/direction selections. Sometimes design for designs sake isn't worth it.
I rented a Tesla Model 3 for a long trip. It's not fiddly at all to drive, it's relaxing and fun. The car generally does what you want, it has voice controls for most functions, and the screen interface is very intuitive.
It's funny how UA-cam commenters are so confident that they know more about designing a good driving experience than paid engineers.
@@skierpage If the voice controls work every time thats great, however not everyone wants to be driving about talking to their car?
I imagine it is a great driving car, very relaxed and very smooth. As the model 3 I drove was too. The reason I can be so confident about the infotainment and lack of actual controls buttons and the need to be using sub menus to access most things (if voice command doesn't work) is because like I said in my comment for me, in my preference. I sometimes just like a simple button, one touch and it does what I want it to do. That's all.
will wait a little and big companies will smash this tesla with cars with normal buttons and steering wheel...etc... its just a joke.... what we will add to new tesla s - cause the body wil be the same, oh i know lets add joke, and lets rotate screen a nd speeddddd.... just piece of crap like iphones...
@@DimaLegoFUN THE NEW CAR MAY LOOK THE SAME BUT IT'S COMPLETELY NEW.
@@MICHGO1 its looks old like from 2013, even no matrix lights for that price... piece of battery...
I can tell you from experience (Tesla, not plaid) that it's the greatest car I've ever driven, has made all other cars obsolete, and I cannot see myself ever driving anything else, ever. Cyber Truck on order to pull my travel trailer around the North American continent in retirement. My 3 will go to my daughter, currently 14 years old. The amount I save each year on gas equals 6-7 of my 12 monthly payments. I've calculated my net cost (gas, maintenance, finance payments, etc.) to be around $200-$225 per month with nothing down since all the rebates covered my down payment.
The 0-60 measurement on Little Tujunga Canyon road (my old stomping ground) is noticeably uphill. Looks like he had some fun in the Santa Monica Mountains, too.
Got my 2022 Model S Plaid and it's incredibly fast! I am getting used to the yoke but the horn and the glove compartment button on the screen are too much. Overall, I love it!
How about the range? S Plaid has a lower range than S I reckon?
the horn is actually easily engaged if you just quickly palm the right side of the steering wheel where the buttons are.
@@RavisaraGamage yep range is lower
You can use voice commands to open the glove box.
That glove box joke. "I wonder what's stashed in there..." 😂
Thanks!
Great video as always! Mats genuine excitement is always fun to watch. I will likely never own a Tesla but darn it I enjoy watching every minute 😂😂
Great review carwow.. the future is here..
drive one and you will
you know its a great review when you feel indifferent about the car itself and still are super entertained
One of the most luckiest person on earth is *Mat*
His job is extremely incredible
Reviewing cars whenever they were presented to the public
As usual good review
Same goes with Doug DeMuro. He reviewed multiple cars, including some that are extremely rare to the public (like a McLaren F1). Both are legendary car reviewers
@@bonzobonanza He may be legendary to you, but he’s not a good reviewer when it comes to what matters about cars, Doug.
WTF that acceleration is insane😱😱😱😱
The boot space numbers should be taken with a grain of salt since Tesla uses the (SAE) standard that measures volume all the way to the headliner while the German, Korean and Japanese brands use a different standard (VAD) which measures volume up the top of the rear seat.
Model Y boot for example is about the size of the one in the VW ID4 although official numbers seem to suggest a 300L difference.
They are very very creative with their marketing, like claiming it’s the first road car to do 0 to 60 in under 2 seconds, when they don’t actually take that time from a standing start. Tesla aren’t very honest in their advertising it has to be said.
In USA VW reacted and now claims 30.3 Cu ft which is 853 litres behind the second row.
@@abraxastulammo9940 yes saw this, but the discrepancy still exists in Europe. UK and EU car reviewers routinely report on the Model Y having a 854 L boot while comparing it to the competition.
@@thorsev6960 This is true, but we have Teslabjørn doing the bananabox test of truth. 😜
@@abraxastulammo9940 he's a rare breed!
the plaid badge you didn't like is actually aftermarket, not stock, unless the one you're reviewing happens to be one of the first few dozen delivered in person at their launch event.
The launch plaid's didn't have the actual "plaid" word badge. Not sure why anyone with a launch plaid would add the "plaid" letters.
@@pedantic79 good point. so it's almost certainly aftermarket.
6:50 Mat, what the hell you are supposed to fling it into the next bush.
Face it, the vast majority of Tesla Plaid buyers get them for one thing....they are the fastest cars on the planet (a caveat here that I should mention is other European cars that come fairly close to the Plaids performance usually cost at least double the Plaids base price, and the Rimac Nevera, which is about a half second faster than a Plaid, last week was certified legal for all countries safety requirements, will only have 150 models made and costs $2,400,000 before options!) that you can buy from a manufacturer that you don't have to spend an additional $20-$30K to modify them to still be slower than a S Plaid. AND for you folks that agree and have interest in speed rather than how far we can go on a charge, or how much your Teslas will be worth 3 years from now, or the minor fit and finish issues that are always mentioned by Tesla haters, and are usually taken care by Tesla when mentioned when you buy this Model, this will be right up your alley! The TOP LINE Lucid Air offers 1,111HP, while the Plaid offers a supposedly 1,020HP, BUT there is a UA-cam video that has a Plaid on a 4 hub dyno that develops 1,101HP STOCK from the factory. The Plaid also weighs approximately 400 pounds LESS than the Lucid Air, and averages between $20,000 to $30,000 Less than the advertised $179,900 than the Lucid costs DEPENDING ON OPTIONS CHOSEN for each car.
Last month a Tesla Model S Plaid in Napierville, Quebec set the new record for the fastest quarter-mile time for the electric sedan at 8.83 seconds and 161mph.
The Model S had a stripped out interior for weight savings, as well as SV104 wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson drag radials at the rear and Michelin PS4 tires on the front.
Not content with the blistering fast time, the same Model S Plaid has set a new record this week. At the same track in Napierville the Model S crossed the line in just 8.77 seconds at 162.55mph (261.60km/h), a 5.67 second 1/8 mile time and an outstanding 125MPH to 162MPH time in 3.1 seconds!!!
As for what changed that allowed the car to go faster this time the owner, TMC user mulot30th, said there was an additional 60lb weight saving over the previous attempt due to someone else being behind the wheel on the run.
Additionally he said there a slight change to the suspension.
“Main change is suspension geometry change (slight) which reduce “tire drag” a little bit at least that is what I intended to do with that and have worked,” he said.
Interestingly, the top speed at the end of his quarter mile run of 162.55mph is inches away from the electronically limited top speed (when not in Track Mode) of 163mph.
As first told earlier this week, Quebec-based Ingenext was able to hack their way past that limiter and reached a top speed of 216mph (347km/h).
As for this Model S Plaid, the owner says that while the car does not feel like it is slowing down when crossing the line, he feels there is not much room to improve beyond 8.77s with the current setup, but a BIG brake option available from Tesla and several other Tesla specific after market parts dealers at a much reduced price, and TOP OF THE LINE HIGH SPEED RATED STREET TIRES should also be used!
You can check out the record runs both of TOP SPEED and FASTEST QUARTER MILE time on several UA-cam 9
I’d love one. Pretty spectacular😎
Better late than never, expected this video much earlier saw so many reviews about it but with Matt/carwow it is different flavor 👍
I don't think they sell it outside of north America yet
Can't possibly imagine what you'll compete with this when you finally test it back in the UK..Yanni must be seriously frightened!!

I’ve been really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Plaid. Looking forward to more great content.
love the walk up and open and no keys. brilliant, I never want to go back to traditional cars
Love your “tell it like you see it” no sugar coating review style. That steering wheel is a big question mark to me. Maybe for the people who have a bevy of other vehicles at their disposal and this is not their daily driver. Aside from concern about accident avoidance, seems it would promote fatigue in not being able to rest a hand on top. And what about one handed driving? Yes, I realize the car can assist in “auto pilot”. Couple that with having to find that little horn button in an instant!
The yoke steering weel is a gimmick. The things you really need to see should be on a HUD
it's really good for one handed driving. More comfortable than a wheel actually
Ive been daily driving one for a couple of months. It did take me a while to adapt - but I have found that fatigue is actually not a big deal. The yoke is a bit wider and allows you a VERY comfortable hand resting position with elbows easily on left and right armrest areas and is actually more comfortable than a round wheel because you have to stretch further to do that with a round wheel.
Overall yes - its a gimmick. Sort of. There are ways that it is, but also ways in which it is very functional. I've gotten very skilled at parking, 3 point turns, and much more. My take is that everyone is used to decades of memory using ONLY round wheels - so it absolutely takes longer to adapt. But it is fairly easy to use after a longer-than-normal adaptation period.
14:01 The only exciting part of this Tesla review😇as always great video!

It might have been the camera angle, but the 0-60 looked like it was uphill. Also, the road difnt look all that grippy.
‘Relatively tight turning circle at 11.2 meters’
That’s awful. My old behemoth of a Volvo 240 has a turning circle of under 10 meters.

I truly hate touch controls in a car.
Hi Matt, Excellent review like always, Is possible to change the suspension with voice command??
Yes you can, the voice command can control all of the settings
I just tested this on my Plaid with the latest software (updated TODAY) and it doesn't recognize this yet. That's not to say it won't with a future change. I can imagine that command would be useful.
@@timothygillette3659 it doesn't, the only thing on my older S that is in a menu and I want access to is fog lights. However, it's not possible to turn on the fog lights with voice commands.

Yoke steering wheel is a extreme joke for me
It is 1000% unpractical in *ASIA* coz of the undisciplined driving style
It would drive me mad not being able to adjust the mirrors without going through menus on a touchscreen. Awesome machine though, I just don't think Touchscreens should control everything.
How often do you change the mirrors? 😅 it's saved to your profile and auto adjust a little down for reversing.
@@huzygaming7216 that’s what I was thinking. It’s been years since I’ve adjusted the mirrors on my car
You adjust the mirror and seats once. And that’s it that’s why electric seats are a complete waste of time

As you can clearly see right before you launch it, the battery is at less than 50%. To get to 2.1 which is the fastest time WITH 1ft rollout you have to be at 100-90%
2.1 without rollout is near the fastest possible time for 0-60

Not a big issue but at 10:43 when he is talking about shuffling the wheel. It is definitely possible to as long as you don't wank the air off next to the wheel and actually grab the other side of the fucking wheel.
Idk but 2,4 sec for 1000hp even with half batterie is far away from the claimed under 2sec…and that you need to prepare your batterie for 5min.
All in all the taycan is the better car even with less hp. It can delivere the power the whole time with consistence. I would have liked to see the 60-0 breakdistance

Arrgh. I really wish the controls were a combination of physical buttons and screen, as opposed to it all being accessed that way. Apart from that... lovely car!
Love this car! 😍
The only reason why people rave over this car is because its fast from 0-100km/h....
No, its really fast up to V-max. Big difference to dual motor teslas.
It does achieve that while still being one of the most efficient cars around. Can't achieve that really without an electric drivetrain.
Yes...100 mpge is nothing to be excited about. I'm sure you get that in your 1L 2 cylinder turbo diesel hybrid city car.
Nope it's actually a very good car. The thing has tonnes of grip in the twisties and as Mat mentioned it corners absolutely flat. There's more to this car than the 0-100 times. Not a Tesla fanboy btw, I'll never buy one but it was the most fun I've ever had in a 4 door car for the one afternoon I had one.
If the 0-100 would be around 7s no one would bat an eye..change my mind. Not saying that its not a good car and all but its the performance which exites people, and Ive driven the Model S....
