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.

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
