Dude I’ve been watching your videos for YEARS! I got rid of my Model S after multiple different problems (long ass list to type) back in December of 2018. Best decision ever. It’s a car to have if you have lots of money to blow. But if you’re budgeting and financing, this is something you want to avoid. Since June 2019 I’ve had my 19 RAV4 LE FWD and its been the BEST car I’ve ever owned! With 21,000 miles, if it blew up / broke tomorrow I would still brag about it. I love it 1000000x more than the pos Model S. You have every right to be upset about your service visits. Even if they are smaller, for a car of this caliber and price it is UNACCEPTABLE to have this many service visits, and early on. It’s one thing if there was a small manufacture defect and they caught it right away, it’s another thing to have this many service visits to repair things that could leave you stranded easily. One of my last straws was the firmware update where all of the apps were at the top of the screen. I felt it on safe and unresponsive and glitchy. The other last straw was a big problem my head that wasn’t my fault. I wish people knew about these vehicles and their problems. They don’t want to see it or face it because Tesla is Tesla and the enthusiasts are crazy lol. There’s been a lot of people I have talked out of buying one, or have agreed that once they get rid of theirs they won’t buy another one. So I guess it’s like anything else. I watched just about every video you upload, just don’t always have time to comment or go back and remember lol. I don’t have time to upload videos myself anymore but I do post a picture or a video and a summary on my Instagram.

This is like the Apple version of a car. You're much wealthier than I am to be driving these cars, but I don't feel as bad owning two E82 BMWs now because they've given me zero issues... Nice detailed review dude.

I have had a 2014 Tesla for 5 years. Best car I’ve ever had over BMW, Audi, Range Rover. I’ve had a few minor issues but for the most part they come to my house to service. Love mine.

Damn I have had my model 3 long range for 3 months, put 10,000 miles on it so far. No issues yet, but my god you have had the patience of a saint! The sales process was terrible, can only imagine the service problems when they arise.

I swapped our Tesla x for a Porsche. Best decision ever!!! You should get rid of the Tesla ASAP.

Thats just way too much problem for a car that cost so much...

I’m surprised you bought another one after watching the video on your first Model S… I admire your dedication though!

Very informative and detailed video. One of the MANY reasons why I never pulled the trigger on a Tesla. Currently have driven a Porsche Taycan and waiting for a Audi e Tron GT demo to be available for testing to see which would be a better fit for my daily while my 2dr coupe will be reserved for track days and carving mountain roads.

Wow that noise 10:18 is horrible!

15k miles on my Model 3 and the only time I went into the service center was to get the HW3 upgrade. Had a nail in the tire , went to an independent repair shop , used summon on the lift to turn the tire and find the leak. No need to put it neutral and no one else got in my car risking oil stains. Summoned it out of the garage as well. I had a mobile service visit for a front passenger safety restraint system fault that was fixed in the driveway. He also replaced the charge port pins that I didn’t ask for but apparently people’s rubber caps would get stuck in the supercharger plug so that fix prevented that. Now I’m just waiting for fsd beta, and Amazon prime to be added to the theater. Sucks you had all those issues but I would still go for plaid just for the 500+ mile range and the new 4680 battery tech and mcu3 infotainment. That’s why I have a cybertruck plaid reservation beside the durability aspect and I believe it’ll have mcu3 as well.

You've heard my opinion about the quality of the vehicles many times over the years and while we've been luckier than you... certainly had far more issues than a premium vehicle should and service is an absolute joke, especially for the price point. I think we've got the CV joint issue coming up now.

First of all, I cannot believe you bought another S after all the problems you encountered with your first one. The problems you've had and have tried to resolve would have made me swear off Tesla's for life. In my case, I bought a MY on May 1 (my first electric car). My nearest service center is about 10 miles away (I live in south Florida). I had one mobile visit to correct a few minor issues on the car. I drive very little, and after almost a month of ownership, I've got around 150 miles on mine. No rattles or funny noises. Happy with it so far. I think you made a wise choice with a Japanese car. I've owned many Hyundai's and a Kia Stinger - never a problem with either. Sad to say, Japan and South Korea make much more reliable cars than the U.S. It's been that way for decades. If you want to go back to electric, both Kia and Hyundai both have new electric models coming soon, and they look pretty cool. FYI - Kia and Hyundai are both part of the same company.

I seen you commented on Scotty's Channel so I thought I'd come over and check your channel out. Holy Crap, can't believe all the issues you've had on such an expensive new car.

lexus number # 1

10:25 lol rattle is an understatement, that's full on creaking of concern.

I have a Model 3 2018. I've had over 25 visits/tech service lol....welcome to Tesla! I will most likely move to another EV in a year or two. Mach E looks niceeeee.

Had to Thumbs up this video because it's pretty comprehensive. Haven't had any of these issues, but different car ( 3 DMP), different build . I would have bailed on it as well. As a Lexus owner as well, I'll agree that you can't beat Toyota/Lexus quality, that's for sure. Good job on the video.

It sounds like you have had some issues. Most seemed minor. I bought a new 2013, MS, 85 k which has been my daily driver since 2013. I have 180,000 miles on it. To be honest it has been very reliable and a great car. I’ve had some maintenance of course, but most has been preformed by a mobile tech which has been seamless. The guy shows up where you are and makes the repair. It’s effortless from my perspective. It sounds like your problems were covered by warranty as well? All vehicles require maintenance. Even a Lexus. I found you because I was having a charging issue a few months back where the amps kept stopping at 1 and the car charging would shut off. You had a similar problem and thought it was due to a cold battery. After months of troubleshooting Tesla kept telling me it was the source. I had my utility company out several times to rule it out. We replaced the charging port and an adapter to the mobile charger. After that didn’t work and Tesla again said it was the source, I noticed the volts were jumping up to 252 and I called my utility company again. Turns out it was the power source. The utility company had an open neutral from the pole to the house. I think perhaps owing my a Tesla saved my house from burning down due to the utility companies error. Also you indicate your Tesla cost 200 k? I think the new one is about 79 k now. I paid about that as well.

Now I understand the switch. Watched the whole video and wow! A lot of problems!! This is one of the main reason I'm avoiding Teslas, pretty bad quality control.

I drive a Mercedes-Benz E 350 and thought about a Tesla when I bought it but saw your video and changed my mind. Had the Mercedes-Benz for a year with no problems. I would NEVER put up with what you have on an expensive car. After the first year I would have filed a complaint and ask that it be bought back!

I thought you had finished with your issues with tesla.......I didn't know there were more ....wow The red colour is lovely, however

2-3 year old Lexus LS500, loaded. No all wheel drive or partial electric, though. You will be in love! Recommend power panaramic black glass roof.

Great channel and content. We share some of the same car models we own. I just got a Tesla but not a model S.

2:16 My MS90D also had the charge door not opening problem...

I’m sorry you’ve had these issues. I have a 2015 Model S 70D and haven’t had nearly as many issues. I still drive this daily and have only been to service 4 times and had a mobile tech 3 times. So I would recommend it compared to my previous Infiniti. Sorry but sounds like you might have got a lemon.

I've been reading about their current build quality, and in the Netherlands this has, coupled with what is best termed as a total absence of after sales support, resulted in a law change and the setup of a foundation explicitly set up to take Tesla to court. Now, I am old enough to give their apparent current build quality another equivalent: it's resembles the Russian Lada's of old 😝

Mine has a clicking noise too but Tesla was never able to fix it. But I don’t have Air suspension. Also the back door was misaligned (this was fixed).

Yep, it seems Model S owners are not really important anymore to Tesla. Owning such a car at high mileage means I still get free supercharging for the time being, but also getting nickel and dime'd every time another chip, cable, microswitch etc fails.

Other manufacturers are sure to capitalize on this shortcoming to market their EVs. With EV die hards not going back to ICE, I wonder if Tesla S will still sustain when real competition like the Audi E-tron or the Merc EQE do show up full swing into the same market touting better build quality.

I don't think that's acceptable, I would get rid of the car at that point before it gets worse.

Now I see why you switched 😂😂😂. If my MY gives me this much trouble, I will be buying something else!

Spoiler not properly attached from factory, on a $200k brand new car. Yikes

Not for a new car, especially at there price. I own a 93 stealth which has a checkered track record on reliability though ive had good success over three years never stranded. She does break sometimes . And luckily I'm a decent mechanic. I can't say I could give your car a pass on as much as i do my 93 stealth.

Well I had an M3 LR delivered to my residence Dec 30th in perfect shape w/ year of free charging and 3 months of FSD. All is good 1700 miles later. Best experience I've had with a new car......so far, fingers crossed, knock on wood. I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience but I'm sure your Lexus is helping you heal. You pays your money and blah blah blah. That's the way it is unfortunately, just hope my experience stays positive. I didn't buy an S because of your videos so I hope that matters a little bit to you.

I think the 3 and Y are much better. I had a Model 3 Performance. It got totaled and I replaced it with a Model Y Performance. Build quality and alignment issues were fixed in my first service visit for both cars and I haven't had any issues since. The simpler design and new designs seem to make it much more reliable than the Model S and the Fabergé Egg Model X!

Given your previous video I'm astonished you trusted them enough to buy a new one..

I bought a used Model S at 119,000 miles, 6 days ago and I dropped it off yesterday at 3rd party dealer because it needs service. This car I have was original retail $100,000.00. It’s worth $33k. I do have the exact same problem you have with the rattling noise. Thanks for naming your issues, I will mention this to the dealer: Suspension end links, Air Strut mounds, Brake pad calibers or complete air suspension. I also had a RWD unit failure yesterday on my way to the service center. While I agree these are serious issues, I will say every car I’ve owned except for my latest Chrysler 300 Sport failed. Whether Ford Taurus, Chrysler Sebring, Nissan Altima. I’ve had major problems with all automakers. The real question is, can you get service? If the answer is yes, I have no problem fixing issues. Overall, right now I wouldn’t buy any other car other than a Chrysler 300 Sport or a Tesla Model S. I will not even consider a 3 or X or Y. I do not like any of Tesla’s latest models. (By the way someone already bought my Chrysler 300 Sport, in less than 5 days. I saw them making the purchase. They fell in love with my car. I took really good care of the paint with waxes and polishes)

If you told me, "he're my model S, you can keep it for a year free of charge, you just have to handle the service appointments", i would say no and still rock my 2005 toyota corolla which needs 1-2 repairs a year.. haha

Hi, I was thinking to order a refresh model S but not anymore. A

May I ask how your Lexus LS has held up? Any significant repairs?

Gee... I guess this shows why You should avoid bying hardware from a software company.

Taycan is about the same price as your Model S.. thats another option.

You just can't live without Tesla don't you?

I have a 2013 Honda Fit sport and have had no real issues with it. You should expect that performance will be a little different than ludicrous mode.

Wow that is alot,I got a Chinese made car with over 45000 miles and never had any interior rattles, headlights to change, steering wheel knob broke,suspension parts to change etc, everything is as new and nothing hasn`t broken YET other than an engine mount, Tesla gotta up there game, even though there where good in the start when company`s like Toyota etc start to make ev to run with tesla, there would be way behind. It`s like how nokia,motorola ,lg and htc brought new tech and innovations but once Samsung and Apple got a hold of it there destroyed.

Mmm the only thing of not getting a Tesla is that the others dont have a DC charging Network as Tesla has now. No plans from ElectrifyCanada for your area. Maybe go with a Pluging Hybrid.. or order a Rivian 😃 or ford Mach-E GT

Thanks !

Buy a few year old used Lexus you'll save at least $10k or more and since it's a Toyota you will probably have 1 or two issues in 10 years, Lexus aka Toyota is the most reliable luxury brand there is. Tesla in the other hand is probably the least reliable "luxury" brand of all. I've had a Honda for 15+ years, 3 issues, sun visors were bad, takata airbags, both under warranty. The last issue was starter that needed changing after 15 years. 3 issues in 15 years 😂

Thanks for the honesty. Tesla is very over hyped. Thank God there's tons of other brand with decade's of making cars that starting to make good evs. I'll stay out of evs. I think there will be better solutions in 10 years time.

Not good for scrap

Hi do you recommand a tesla model 3 sr+ 2021 from China? I heard they are more reliable. I was thinking of a used model s but now I don't think it's a good idea. I have another question. What do you do for a living? Thanks.

Time for you to join a fanboy support group, to get you back in line! I was lucky and escaped the cult by buying a Taycan!

Why the hell did not just get rid of the car?

What’s up homie :). Sorry you had such a terrible experience. I loved my 2015 85D and my Model Y has only had its left taillight assembly replaced due to fogging up. Just imagine if you invested that $200K in Tesla stock at the time, you wouldn’t care about the 11 visits from the mobile tech. :). Cheers my friend.

You must be short Tesla because only share holders stay quiet about the poor quality

Your experience is unfortunate because the Model S is a beautiful design, but for you to have a 2015 Model S and 2018 Model S . I was hoping you would have had a better experience. Being the exterior hasn't changed since 2012 you would expect that each year the bugs would be worked out each year. When you have a model flagship as the Model S that is basically unchanged over 9 years (unlike most Cars) this design is ten years old now and some of the original issues of failure haven't been cured. I can see why you are fed up and moving away from the Model S. I'd suggest to just move to Model 3 since its most reliable just for all the pros that Tesla has over the EV competition. Your research and sharing of the 2 Model S you owned tells me to move to Model 3 from My 2015 Model S 85D when its time. Even though mine was preowned with 19,966 when purchased Feb-2021 and I have only had the 12v battery replaced and Opted to upgrade from MCU1 to MCU2 rather than have the MCU1 memory upgrade. (It was well worth the $1620.00 out the door). This month the Driver rear door handle will not present. that will cost $306.00 to repair.

Why did you buy a second Tesla after having so many problems with your first Tesla?

I wonder why you’ve had such problems with your car that sucks sorry. We have a model X p100d And love it the things held up great after I have put 150,000 miles on it. I also have four kids in it all the time so needless to say they’re pretty rough with the car.

Time to move on from this brand. Their main product is hype & stock price, not their cars.

Taycan for a replacement... 100%

Hmmm, a new 2018 Model S P100D cost a bit north of $135,000. Why the $200,000 price in the title? Clickbait??

This is not a car its a nightmare!😂😂😂😂

please upload videos on rumble. i am leaving KZfaq and a lot of others are also. great content.

$200k? lmao. This car seems comparable to a Lexus, at best.

Someone send him to Scotty Kilmer for a review.

still small issues...taycan has similar quality challenges

You get what you get and you don't get upset

Def not not reasonable

i think you should switch to Taychon. tesla is ass

No it’s not reasonable what car was a piece of crap

Sounds like crap.

13 service visits yes it is normal why? there not a old car company like ford thats knows abouts build a car before the electric part. tesla is to new in the car game. for example like back in the days when hyundai first came out they sucked!!! lol but look at them now they came a long way. people need to stop buying tesla cars for now thats only good for people with lots of money lol

You sir ended up with a lemon - or you are extremely rough on your cars.

Buy a Porsche

I thought you had a Lexus LS

Buy a Land Rover :D

LUCID AIR!!!!!!!!!

ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mach e ;)

I have a feeling you’re the type of person who complains about everything.
