The problem is that the Model S Plaid is really boring despite it being fast. As an owner of a Model 3 performance for nearly 3yrs now, I can tell you that nobody really needs faster than 3sec 0-60mph. In fact, it just starts to get too fast beyond 2.5sec as Ludicrous+ showed. So then why is this "marvel" worth $140-150,000? It's worse in so many ways than rivals as a car beyond that. I'm beyond disappointed with the new Model S. I've been waiting close to 3yrs to upgrade, but it's so boring an uninspiring - particularly the old fashioned exterior that reeks of 2016 - that I'm simply sticking with my Model 3 Performance. I'm an EV enthusiast above all, so will see what Lucid and others deploy in the next 18mths, because this dull car is not enough to tempt me to spend $150k even though I have it for the right car.

@@Libertas_P77 That's fair. So if Lucid is able to get their car out and you can buy one (not sure when?) you're not going to to for the top one, since it's too fast, right? (By the way, my car does 0-60 in about 10 sec and it's not a big problem. Of course I'd be happy with a long range Model 3 that does it in 5 sec or so, which is faster than Testarossa just a generation ago. I'm sure the Testarossa handles better. In general cars are way faster than they need to be. But the Model Plaid showed that fast cars don't have to be gas powered. In fact, electric cars, with the right technology (i.e. Model Plaid technology) can be "mind bendingly fast" It's easy to detune that technology, but other manufacturers can't as easily "uptune" their vehicles. "Performance" is very much the selling point of the Porsche brand. Would you be happy with a $150,000 Taycan? I'm not sure which trim level that would get you, but not the top one, I assume. I guess that one doesn't have too much range and isn't too fast, and doesn't have the rear legroom or trunk space which are all wasted. But does it have what you want?

Not sure what all the hate is about, yes, the comment about the autopilot is factually incorrect, the auto pilot is free, the FSD is $10k. Other than that I didn't hear anything that was a lie/or factually incorrect. The part about the gears was explained properly and in truth. They did not say the car is bad, just that the increase in price compared to Tesla's other models is more a thing of prestige, something that Elon himself have also said on the S Plaid reveal. And yes, I am a Tesla fanboy too.

I own a 2022 Model S Plaid and absolutely love it. I disagree with some of your statements about this vehicle, primarily the comment about a marketing exercise. The Plaid registered the fastest EV run on Nurburgring outside of being the fastest in acceleration. In other words it’s not just a dragster, it handles really well in fact better than the Tyacan, and I would know as I also own a Taycan Turbo S. Sure fit and finish could be better, then again that’s not the reason most people buy a Tesla.

@Catholic Firefighter ...are you serious, no other car from factory is able to achieve the same level of performance for anywhere near the same price. Saying the car is undesirable because it has the similar minimalist interior as a model 3 does, or it blows your mind that it doesn't come with a traditional steering wheel, or it's too fast 🤣🤣 are just the most retarded reasons for calling this an undesirable vehicle. And I don't care about the environment, I care about going as quickly as possible, and have it be a comfortable and practical daily.... Which is exactly what this car is

@teej5619 2 жыл бұрын

@Catholic Firefighter well you'd better get used to seeing batteries on wheels because that's all that'll be in the future, I give it 10 years before every major car manufacturer has their highest performance car as an electric car.... Gas cars are being phased out get used to it, and as far as a hypercar enthusiast goes..... You know the Rimac Nevera exists right... Or the the lotus Evija, and Pininfarina Battista... Which like you said if all hypercar enthusiasts care about is looking exotic and going fast... There ya go... But no one can afford these cars, because they're all worth 2 million dollars+ the plaid is desirable because it hits such a more affordable price point where it can be more attainable for those who aren't straight up billionaires. And the level of performance you get out of a Tesla model s plaid is equal to or just slightly less than those two million dollar hypercars for a 10th of the price.(or what you would pay taxes on those cars) if the sedan body style doesn't rub you the right way that's fine.... But saying it's undesirable because it's a battery on wheels is literally the dumbest thing you can say

To me, I feel like Tesla is trying to be like Apple, eliminate certain functionality and replace them with a new technology. For example, the removal of headphone jack. But what Apple did right was, the replacement was actually forward thinking. Cars are not smartphones or computers, when you're driving on the road, safety should be your number one priority and I don't think Tesla thought about that before replacing a normal steering wheel and basic functions like horn, blinkers and wipers with garbage. I love everything about the Model S but steering wheel and the soft buttons suck. At least they should have been an option for a standard steering for those that doesn't like the yoke. A lot of people will get into trouble because of the steering wheel alone.
