I currently own a 2021 Model S. Web site shows this model get 402 Miles per charge, however, since you can only charge to 90% that knocks off 40 miles and you can't go below 20%, so do the math. I charge at home using a Tesla charger and my maximum charge has decreased steadily since I purchased the car in Sept, 2021. Max charge at 90% started off at approximately 340 miles per 90% charge. A year later I am down to 299 Miles per 90% charge and it decreases on each charge. Try getting in contact with ANYONE at Tesla to ask simple questions. Virtually IMPOSSIBLE. The Tesla support model is the worst I ever experienced, especially for a car that is so expensive. I've trying calling their so-call support line only to get instructed to book an appointment via the app. I did finally get their automated system to direct me to a representative only yo be on hold over 45 minutes. Very frustrating

I bought new a ‘22 Tesla S Plaid, with all the options. The car looks nice on the outside, I think is beautiful. On the inside is quite basic for the price point but is smart in several ways; the air conditioning is well designed, the seats are fine and adjust well, and the infotainment is great, very likely the best of the industry. Acceleration is nothing short of amazing. And that’s it, it excites you if you like cars. Now the problems. Paint quality is very bad, it dents with very little… the wheels as well, look around teslas on the street and look at their wheels…brakes need a big improvement, the plaid doesn’t have the breaks it needs, I believe is dangerous, I have two sports cars of traditional brands and the gap in breaking is big. Also remember this is a very heavy car. After a month a noisy squeak noise started at breaking and reversing, the app for service even has an option for squeaky noises.. the interior of the car and the body started to make little noises while driving that you don’t see at cars at this price point in my experience. In summary this is a car with an acceleration of a $150k car, a great infotainment, a body work of a $20k car and not the right brakes. Autonomy is decent though. An strange product. It feels like it will age poorly.

The Model S Plaid is the best car on the planet. It’s faster than all hyper-cars, safer than the vast majority of cars and has the best technology out there. Where it could improve is it fit & finish.

Cons: 1) Delivered brand new with a faulty front cruise sensor after waiting in line for 6 months. Rendered cruise functions unusable with error message. Took 8 phone calls to call center to receive a phone call back from service center. 2 visits to showroom were zero help. 2) Door vibrates from day 1. 3) Computer functions stop working without cause at least once a week, have to reset the car. 4) Headlight went out at 4 months, $2200 repair claiming “collision”, voiding warranty. No collision and no structural damage, likely damaged in transit but Tesla refused to take responsibility. 5) Tesla chargers were out of stock for months, but you can pay an extra $300 for them on eBay because they sell them to non-owners. 6) Service appts are commonly 3-week waits. 7) Updates occur frequently. 8) App to unlock/connect to car only worked after continually deleting and reloading on phone. Pros: 1) It’s fast and kids think it’s cool. 2) Don’t have to stop as gas station. This company’s service continues to decline, and when buying a $150K+vehicle (I have owned many), you expect far more than this joke. This trend will die or changes will be made.

Wow, what can I say! An amazing car. Very comfortable and really fast if not too fast. Great on demand performance. The yolk too some adjustment, buy now I can’t go back. Software updates give you a new experience each time. Large screens work at a superior level. Please drive one before reviewing or even reading reviews!
