Well its quiet, easy to go warpspeed fast and and worth every bit. A built monster GP superbike got left in the rear view mirror at a stoplight while steering with one hand while the stereo played Pancini. What can I say? Elon Musk is mental.

The most extraordinary vehicle ever driven

From the moment you get in, you feel like you have entered a spaceship. It’s clear the same mind that makes rocket ships and flies astronauts to the ISS also made this. That’s before you even hit the accelerator pedal. At that point, everything you see and feel is instantly behind you. Truly the most exhilarating ride of your life. 0-60 in 1.9s. If you take a ride and still think Edmunds has any idea what they’re talking about, you might have a few screws loose.

2021 Model S Plaid OMG

I have purchased a 2021 model S plaid stealth gray with 21 in. Arachnoid rims. I have previously owned a 550 hp Mustang GT that I thought was fast, it had been lowered and modified for driving with suspension modifications. From the perspective of power I can only say the tesla model S plaid has insane acceleration, I doubt there is much on the street that can out run you. So from the power spec perspective it is a 5+*. I have now seen a lot of reviews, talk about fitment and body issues but I can only speak about the 1 I have which is perfect I do not know what they got or what their knowledge is or what they expect but the what I have is just perfect there is no issue. From the driving perspective it handles as good or better than the Mustang, with a $20,000 after market suspension on it. And I can even modify the tesla for better performance. While the interior is relatively plain, that is what you would want, the things that are there are great I think there is an incredible amount of storage in the cabin and in the trunk and Frunk certainly way more than the Mustang had. I have had service come to me twice they have been incredibly helpful on time made extra recommendations to help as well as advising me about better options. I have not had any power train problems at this time. From my perspective since I bought a used Tesla plaid that caused me about the same as my new Mustang in 2013 I feel that I got an incredible deal and I would rate his car as a 5*. The car feels great to drive very comfortable the vision and room classrooms are all fantastic. I would say personally I am not big fan of the yoke but 1 has to remember that formula 1 cars use a yoke. I would agree that the screen layout could be better and I am think it would be better if it were closer I am a call person but it is still a just at the limit of my reach when I am actually driving. I would love to see a little more aerodynamic possibly factory lowering, larger spoiler in the back and more carbon fiber outside but then that is just me.
