Great comprehensive review. Hope we get to see more of this presenter in the future!

Model S by far the nicest car. When you see it on the road it is really impressive: Low, wide, big. Amazing design.

Every time I see an S on the street I just stare at it in awe, it's so beautiful!

Bought a Peal White Model S P85 back in 2014 and powdercoat blacked the wheels. 100,000 miles later its still one hell of a fun drive and still looks current. Chuck mountain bikes in it and go. Head off 500 miles and its all free. What a machine. What tests dont get is the acceleration and responsive punch at any speed is addictive along with one pedal driving. Cant wait for Roadster.

"when it was launched in 2012 it revolutionised electric cars..." No. It revolutionised *CARS*

The S is clearly the nicest looking. The 3 is the most economical. The Y is the most practical. And the X is now almost obsolete.

It is gorgeous. Far more beautiful than 3 or y.

every day i drive this car is a joy. Economically it makes more sense to buy a 3/Y, but the S is phenomenally fast, an absolute beauty to look at (unlike the other models tbh), munches the miles in comfort on long journeys and still exceptionally fun on twisty B roads. It also has an immense amount of cargo space to carry stuff. It's practical AF and also great fun to drive. It's definitely wide for UK roads but you get used to it v. quickly - I've taken it down loads of narrow roads in cities and country lanes - including squeezing it through tiny roads in Cornwall - without issue.

Even after 8 years, the Model S is a gorgeous car and turns my head when I see one on the road. People/JOURNALISTS keep clamoring for an updated design. Why? I think Tesla has taken a great approach by UPDATING the technology and performance whilst leaving the looks basically alone. If it AIN"T BROKE, don't fix it! How many years did Volkswagen successfully produce the Beetle whilst continually improving it? Ditto for the Dodge Caravan minivan which hasn't had even a styling refresh for 9 years. Yet it still had it's BEST sales year in 2018 since 2004 in a market which is supposedly totally dead. People don't buy minivans for style. They buy them for functionality and the Dodge Caravan is an unbeatable example for ultimate utility. Sadly, it has finally reached the end of it's journey due to regulatory issues which it can no longer meet without massive investment. Instead, FCA has created a "dumbed down version" of their Pacifica Minivan which has NEVER sold well because it's just too damned expensive for mass market minivan buyers.

Although the Model 3 is definitely a more sensible buy, if I had the money, I’d take the S. I’ve tried both of them, and the feeling you get when driving the Model S is just so much better than the 3. Feels less like sitting in a laptop, and more like in a spacious living room 👌🏼

This guy laying down inside the car all snuggled up waving is hilarious 😂

The fact that Tesla's are being reviewed on all these regular car channels says loud anD clear that Tesla is here to stay. They are in. The hardest part of their journey has passed.

This isn’t the 2021 Model S… it’s 2020…

Bought my blue MS 70D during lockdown. . Definitely the best car I've ever owned . . Love it and don't find it too big and it's plenty agile enough. Never get bored of red traffic lights .

I have had 3 model S's since 2012 and absolutely have enjoyed the motoring experience they all have given me. I currently have the Model X and it would be nice to have the seats from the S in it instead of the seats it has but all in all I'm happy

OMG, at present age of 90, I got to drive a Tesla 100S for almost an hour. Most incredible car ever. I drive an Audi turbo which is like a slug compared to the Tesla. Beautiful, comfortable. This car has been on my bucket list for several years, and now I can say I got to drive it. Fantastic response, something I've never experienced, even at theme parks. Loved every minute in it!!

The Model S is the best looking to me. I am just now starting my research on the Tesla's.

I thought I had seen such review time and time again but I must say that your review is way more detailed (and keeping it simple), there are lots of information you gave in this review that I did not know! I think this is the kind of review we all have been missing for a while!! Well done.

Range is now over 400miles on the model s

Great review, Thank you!! I drove long time AMG but don’t miss them at all! The Model S is incredible fast like nothing else, very good on my long range tours trough Europe and fun pur! The white seats are still white after two years, the quality is excellent, had one small repair and the service team in Hamburg is great! I just ordered an Cyber Truck and will get this summer an X. What can I say, Advantage from Technology , The Best or Nothing .....the ultimative driving machine, Tesla!

I'm a born & raised petrol head, I'll be honest, I think this is the best car on the planet. I shall await the Tesla revamp of this model, then order one. I have driven the 2019 version,. a truly ground-breaking car. also I never use door pockets. glad Tesla removed them.

Drive a P90D, rip your face off fast, free supercharging, looks incredible, 3 dogs in the boot regularly, near zero company car tax…..best car I’ve ever owned! Absolutely love it! Great review

S is the prettiest of their cars. Timeless

This review is already out of date , 401 miles range now.

Finally an honest and balanced review of this car.

The S is beautiful, but I love the 3's understated look too.

I prefer the Model S because of the design language and range better than any of the Telsas in the Tesla line up. I like the space and cargo room which is better than the M3, I like the heated steering wheel and windshield wipers. I'm a bigger guy the seats were very secure for me. The ride quality is perfect for me because I do a lot of road trips and for me feeling the feedback from the road can be a little annoying. That's just a few things. I think the Model S is definitely a good buy.

11:43 It's actually 402 miles, tested by EPA. :)

I love the model S, but I have a major gripe. For the price and for safety reasons, they should really offer a heads up display feature.

Guys, one comment. Tesla no longer pass the free supercharging onto the next owner when you buy from them direct. They remove the free supercharging and free premium connectivity from enabled cars once they take them into stock and sell as a CPO. If you want a second hand car and to keep the free supercharging and unlimited premium connectivity data package you have to buy privately or through a third party dealer.

I want one of each tesla

Can't wait for the UK to adopt the metric system so reviews like this make sense.

I do like the S and the X, but not that keen on the 3 or the Y. My reason? Because they don't have the "through steering wheel dials" that 99% of cars have and all the info is on the tablet to the side. And I know Tesla fanboys will say/winge, "Oh! You get used to it." I know I can get used to it, but that still doesn't stop me liking them both. If Tesla did dials in the "normal" position, then I'd like all 4 of them.

Nice review , I have the model X, solar and power wall and there’s no going back

I think free unlimited supercharging disappeared with the recent price drop

Whaaat? I didn't know it spelled S3XY 😂 Neat.

Always love a good professional Model S review.

Recent software releases increased range to 402 (double the Porsche?) and it now will stop and proceed at red lights and stop signs if someone is ahead of you. Sentry mode is awesome. The Model S has aged very well but I would wait for the Plaid version since it is due out later this year. In the meantime, WE LOVE OUR MODEL 3.

Correction. If you buy a Model S from Tesla`s second hand inventory you will NOT get free supercharging for the life of the car. That was an original marketing incentive for new cars pre 2017, so be careful! Tesla are removing free supercharging from old cars being part exchanged

Surprisingly there's still a lot of room for improvement, at the same time I can't find anything as fuel efficient and the other options seem to be more expensive.

Excellent thoughts! For me, the Model S is still the benchmark. The Model 3 could take over that title if it were not for its “WTF?!” screen.

Even if I save all my money for 10 years, without even spending on food, electricity; I still wouldn't be able to afford it.

I love how this is a week old and already outdated. The car may be 8 years old without many visual changes but it's constantly evolving in both software and hardware upgrades.

Reasons to get a Model S (Performance): 1. Win every stoplight race........for life 2. Miss every gas station and emissions test.......for life 3. Get free power/tech upgrades........for life 4. Drive a cooler car than anybody you know 5. Get the best car of the 21st century, all for under $100k

Who is here after massive price drop of model S?

The model S has continued to be the best looking electric car, and one of the best looking sedans throughout its lifespan.

1:34 Model S is the best as it is wide and long, 3 is the sportiest as the interior is sleek and love the track mode, X is a super luxury concept, Y is for a family man and looks like a 3 so I love that it is sporty.

Please stop quoting the 0-100% charge time. It doesn't mean anything, and it's not comparable between different cars with different batteries and efficiencies. And it put off people that doesn't know better ("15 hours to charge my car? What I'm supposed to do with that?"). A much better number to quote is charging time to get a certain range, say 50KM for domestic/AC, or 200KM for a fast charge, for example.

Model s is just an insane car, looks also so good!

The Model S is the nicest if you look at the exterior, but if you look at the interior it is the 3 or Y. I like the screen when it is laying down much more than standing up. Also, the 3 and Y is even more minimalistic which gives you a more futuristic feeling.

I was sold as soon as you said existing inventory models get unlimited supercharging for their entire life.

The model s and the new roadster are by far the best looking Tesla's

Model S by far is the best looking car !!

5:25 wow that panel gap is insane

I found this vid very helpful - extremely clear, knowledgable and forthright

Expecting a superficial review and got a really indepth drilled down review. Awesome !

This older spec dashboard looks so much better. It all flows.

Straightforward and succinct! No attitude, just a nice report. Thumbs up from me.

I am so grateful that I won this tesla in a raffle! I love it (:

If it handled like the Model 3 I would've loved it :(

This car is a dream! Just beautiful❤️

"More than 500 superchargers in the UK" proceeds to only show Southern England, that's the UK covered then

Camping in a Tesla is great. I did it recently and despite being hot AF out I stayed cool all night. After watching Netflix before bed on the big screen. How long ago was this filmed? So many new features not mentioned. What about the games and movies?

How long ago was this filmed? Traffic lights are shown on the screen and the autopilot responds to green and red light and stop signs. He said that traffic lights were coming.

My S85D just coming up to 5 years old. Magic carpet, rocket ship, so cheap to run, roomy, comfortable, quiet, perpetually updated. Even non-car-interest passengers talk about it. I did spec the better seats, air suspension etc and feel very little desire to change the car. If I do it will be repeat order paid for by a very small bite out of the increase in my TSLA shares. More to reward Tesla than me.

5:24 The panel gap on the rear hatch looks like a bad accident repair!

How's this review aged over a year.. yeah dad car. I'll bet a lot of dads will be happy for the update.

I love the S but the B-pillar is very badly positioned for taller people. Right now the Tesla that checks all the boxes is the PY. My 3 is good enough until Cybertruck, with more driver room than the S, and it's really a blast to drive. Sorry S.

The S is still one of the best looking cars on the road.

I think that you misspoke at 8:34 when you said undoubtedly the Model S is one of the fastest cars in the world. It has a top speed of 163mph, I think there are many cars that have a higher top speed. I think that you meant to say one of the quickest cars in the world which has to do with acceleration.

Model S looks best to me. New roadster looks brilliant and the Cyber truck will be amazing

Honestly model s is the best car I've seen so far, I may be 12 but in the future I'm definitely getting the latest tesla in da future

Think the Tesla model S is definitely looking its age now. Can't believe Tesla hasn't brought a replacement model out by now.

The only thing Tesla NEEDS to do is quality control. They nail the hard part and fail the simple.

It's EPA 402 miles of range which is what you will get in real world and it's coming from someone who drives a model S

Amazing car!

I had an extensive “take home for the weekend” test drive in a 2019 Model S and a 15 minute test drive in a 2020 Model 3. The Model S is a much nicer automobile. You pay a premium to get into a Model S and it really shows in the driving dynamics, full size comfort and premium ride. I would definitely purchase a used Model S over a new compact Model 3.

My brother crashed his last month over a big hill and the airbags didn’t even go off, Tesla are investigating.

I have no dream to buy Tesla but i have a dream to drive 🚗🔌🔋

Awesome on the front. It's just the back that looks like a Mondeo even though it costs 5 Times more for a nice one.

id get a long range model 3 in red

Door pockets are the alcantara door lined section of the door panel up top, there is a rubber mat on the bottom of those pockets, acts as storage.

I love Tesla. Beautiful video

Since I’ve driven a few Teslas the next I put on my bucket list is actually owning and keeping one, regardless if it takes me 3 or ten years to get there. I’m just getting a £30k i3 - great deals 2B had if U can live with 33KWh - as the first item in my collection of EV’s THAT CHANGED THE WORLD and Model S will be added as no.2, although it’s pretty much no.1 if it comes to importance.

Test by saying " play George Formby" turned out nice again 🙂

Glad you did some comparison points to the Taycan. Soooo impressed with these two car companies embracing the future with practical great looking products.

How many hours can a Tesla run its AC, starting with a full battery charge, while the car is just standing and not driving around?

Yes, it has! New updated S! Better interior and exterior! Much faster and longer range too!

I’m getting one this year 🤩

Is in it a 2020 model? The 2021 has the new yoke wheel and central screen sideway.

can you please also do a similar review on model X? thanks !

It's just a pity that manufactures have not concentrated on making an EV that millions of ordinary working-class can afford to buy! Not much good a car having all the latest tech & with a thousand-mile range if you can't afford one

AMERICAN EPA claims 402miles for long-range

wow that huge panel gap on a 100k car thats crazy

Correction: you can't use CCS on the Model S, or at least not without an adaptor

It seems a perfect future car, but, we in Pakistan will have to wait for the stuff like this, thanks for the review.

Awesome review! Thanks!

Beautifully designed

The S looks better than anything by BMW or Mercedes or Audi. Perhaps even Jag. It's one of the most attractive sedans on the market period.

So for 0-60, What Car gets 2.8s for the Model S with claimed 2.3s with the explanation as being a damp day, the Taycan Turbo gets 3.1s with claimed 3.0s. Interesting, waiting for them to get the Turbo S.
