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.

Upgraded my 5 year old Model 3 to a Model S earlier this month. Shopped around and drove the competition, i5 MX60, i4, Lucid and Audi E-tron. Decided to go with Tesla S after all the research because of the quality of the ride, the improved interior (no yoke!!) and the charging network for longer trips. After one month, my wife and I are very pleased. No problems with fit and finish. Car handles beautifully and is fast (!!!). Much quieter and much less bumpy ride than the Model 3. It feels much more stable and solid compared to the 3. While it does not have the refinement of the i5, its plenty good enough and at $74,000, a relative bargain, and a good $20,000 less than a loaded i5 MX60, with at least 100 miles of extra range on a full charge and a very comparable ride quality. We ordered the cream interior which is beautiful and a welcome addition to the all black or the black and white domino interior. The range is not quite as advertised as it is winter in New England but on my home charger, I get up to 80%/320 miles on an overnight charge. Haven't gone to a supercharger yet. The enhanced touch screen is beautiful and the sound system special. Would still love Apple Car Play but they have added Apple Music and Podcasts which is excellent and easy to access. I avoided the Enhanced AutoPilot which I did not use much on my Model 3 and which was not worth the $$. Tesla can still be a bit weird with the delivery process and ordering but all in all, I think the Model S still is the leader of the pack despite what many say......more to follow with more mileage.

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.

I traded in my 2018 Model S and purchased a new 2023 Model S in September 2023. In many ways I wish I had not. Tesla removed the ultrasonic sensors and replaced them with additional cameras which have been a huge step backwards. The new system is called TeslaVision, which frankly stinks. Many of the features I paid for are not available such as: remote summons, park assist, and auto lane change. The blind spot monitoring system is terrible. Phantom braking can still an issue. Lastly, I am not a fan of stalkless controls on the steering wheel. Frequently (and particularly at night) I find myself searching for the “right” button either to flash my headlights or turn on the wipers. Thank goodness I’ve never had to honk the horn. The sales experience was the worst I’ve ever experienced. The only way to reach customer service was via txt messages. In addition, Tesla owned me money and it took nearly 4 weeks for them to EFT the funds back to my bank account, even though I had no trouble uploading my final payment within seconds. I loved my 2018 Model S. I do not like this car.

I feel like I got screwed by Tesla

I prepaid for the self-driving package years in advance, and finally, I got just a beta version, a few weeks later I was hit by a car, and the Tesla immediately caught fire. The car was totaled, so I decided to go down and buy a new Tesla. I was surprised to find out that now they want an additional $15,000 prepaid for self-driving software, even though I had bought it before and never got to use it. I complained over and over and got the BS that it was impossible to transfer to a new vehicle. Like an idiot, I bought a new Model S, Then I was in shock to find out just days later after delivery that Tesla is offering a transfer of self-driving software now if you buy Tesla this quarter.All the salesperson had to do is tell me to wait like five days. but they kept up the lie, no transferring But the greedy Elon/Tesla still won't transfer mine. No appreciation for returning clients. I will never buy a Tesla Again. FYI the 405-mile range is more like 250.Also, the cars catch fire very easily Advice, never ever pay the $15,000 for self-driving, if you get hit or the car burns, you're out the $15,000 for the software, even after only one day, and insurance companies do not cover the software So very disappointed in Tesla and Elon.

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.

positives: battery range, incredible acceleration negatives: ridiculous yoke steering wheel, pushbutton turn signals that require removing eyes from roadway, awkward placement of shift controls onto touchscreen, poor fit and finish for auto of its cost

One thing reviews seem to neglect a lot is efficiency. This is one of the most efficient EV cars on the road. So few cars can match its range AND efficiency. I have had Teslas since 2018. A model 3, a Model X and this Model S. I’ve visited the Service center once for cracked rear window on Model 3 and have not been back since. Tesla has taken a long time to get gremlins out of auto highbeam, auto wipers and FSD. They have been nailing it lately. Even adding an auto trunk opening when you stand in the back. You don’t even have to kick the car. And Rear cross path too (not as good as true radar based cross path but not bad) Doggy mode is one of my favorite features and won’t own another car without it. Yoke is great too. If I did order another Tesla I would choose the Yoke again. Took forever to get used to blinkers but I’m good now. And newer cars fixed the horn placement. I keep looking for alternatives because I don’t like being associated with the CEO any more. But honestly nothing can touch this car. The only car that beats it on range and efficiency is Lucid. But Lucid is dreadfully behind on the tech. Even the premium audio systems have quality issues. And Rivian efficiency is a joke.
