2021 Tesla Model S Plaid 4dr Sedan AWD (electric DD)
8 of 10 people found this review helpful
The Tesla Plaid at first is an amazing car filled with technology until you have owned it for a few months. You quickly realize that the "cool" features such as summon where the car will come to pick you up in a parking lot is not all that accurate and simply is lacking the ability to truly perform as needed. The speed is incredible, the lack of apple car play or andriod is annoying. The steering wheel is a complete piece of crap. I have had this car for over 1 year now and I still want to hit the center (airbag) to have the horn sound but nope not a thing.. you need to find the little horn button on the steering wheel and hit that and for sure during any emergency you are thinking let me find the smallest push button on the car so the horn works. The service center for Tesla is a complete -0- , you can't speak to anyone and when you do call you are directed to use the Tesla app to ask your questions. I had the safety restraint module replaced and it took 9 days and since this is a known problem and the appointment was made 2 weeks in advance the amount of time to service the car is completely unacceptable. Long story short is that I will NEVER support or purchase another Tesla vehicle in my life. The car does have some very nice features and again it is the fastest thing on the planet but all that does not make up for the lack of other features that most all other cars have and nor does it fix the crappy service from Tesla.

Fit & Finish - better than expected. Some minor panel gap issues, but nothing too noticeable. My roof glass was damaged prior to delivery and needed to be replaced. I've noticed some wind noise from it being improperly sealed and have scheduled service to fix the issue. Driving Dynamics - Handles well despite its size and weight. Great acceleration. Not sure the Plaid would be worth the premium once the novelty wears off. The LR is incredibly fast. Range - 405 miles on a full charge. Easy to charge at home overnight (off-peak rates) and the supercharger network is still miles ahead of non-Tesla. Safety - Breaks too aggressively in auto steer. Automatic high beams activate when there are other cars in sight. Auto wipers are terrible at matching wiper speed to amount of rain. Steering yoke, turn signals, wipers, etc. took some getting used to, but after a few weeks are perfectly fine. Storage - Plenty of storage space in the trunk. Center console has useful storage compartments. Cup holders are too small for most reusable water bottles, but fine for to-go drinks. Infotainment - I thought I'd really miss Apple CarPlay, but I really don't. The screen is intuitive, very responsive and easy to configure. Netflix, YouTube, etc. is great when using a supercharger. Sound system is also excellent. Overall Impression - The Model S has been great to drive and own. I'm happy with my purchase decision.

It looks good at first, but then you see how cheap the materials really are and how poorly assembled it is. And the mileage is total bs. You cannot come close unless driving downhill in moderate temperatures. Hard NO!

Best Car We've Ever Owned

We had a great experience with a Tesla Model 3 for a few years and decided to upgrade the Model S Long Range. Pro's: The air suspension makes a huge difference in ride quality combined with a quiet interior makes it feel like you're floating. The performance of the car is incredible, it handles well and is lightening quick! Pre-purchase the yoke was my biggest concern. After driving a few thousand miles with it I've grown to love it. Better field of view and easy to use with a nice flat bottom area to rest your hands. The yoke's solid grip works well when you let loose on windy country roads. Voice commands work really well, and I'm now used to not having a stalk. I really appreciate the turn-signal auto shutoff when you complete the lane change is slick. The tech for this car is the best in the industry. From battery to infotainment. Plenty of range for us to cart the kids around, shop and travel anywhere. We love the fact that the instrument panel screen free's up the main 17" screen. We get a giant map for directions! That's a nice improvement from the Model 3. Spotify works well as does Netflix and the games. The touch screen is simple to use and extremely responsive. Tesla pioneered the over the air software updates for cars. We look forward to updates every month or so. Model 3/S keep getting better. Zoom conferencing coming soon! The only iPhone app we miss are the Waze speed trap and obstacle warnings. Purchased FSD, waiting in the queue. Bought it as Autopilot was pretty good in the 3 (though far from perfect.) Cons: My Wife & I share the car, but the profiles don't always seem to sync properly. The auto-high beams are a bit too erratic on the freeway. Autopilot does have the occasional phantom break still which hopefully FSD will address. The trunk had a small gap on one side that shouldn't happen for a car in this price range. Outside of that the build is solid. The horn button was a dumb idea. They are supposed to push an update to address this. Final thoughts: Highly recommend if it's in the budget. We loved the Model 3 but the S is now the best car we've ever driven or owned!

The back privacy cover is missing, licence plate holder was also missing, even the front camera is missing or doesn't work straight from the factory new off the line. With no front camera many safety devices are not working including cruise control? I am so disappointed with the horrible steering wheel with all the controls coming on and off as you turn a corner as your hand or fingers hit them accidentally . The steering wheel and controls are dangerous almost causing accidents on every trip. Can we get our money back? I had a Jaguar Ipace First edition it was amazing with 10 times the class compared to this vehicle. I called service 3 times now there is no service with Tesla? The wait is weeks and they are a mobile service. This experience and lack of service is unbelievable to me. I have ordered the Cybertruck and will now pull out of this deal if this is the product Tesla puts out. So disappointed.
