Still great and it drives for me. This car is amazing on every level that maters to me. Does it have panel gaps? Yes. Do I care? No. It’s not like the fenders are falling off. You have to closely look at one side and then go compare it to the other. Who does that with a daily driver? Not me. I recommend test driving one if you’re interested. If you have the ability to charge at home, Tesla’s are a lifestyle changer that you don’t look back from. We can drive 300 miles in our Plaid S for under $7. That’s not a Prius, it’s a large comfortable car that will spank anything that pulls up next to it at any speed. It’s beyond ludicrous. Something to keep in mind with these reviews. I didn’t need to prove I own one, and could be making stuff up. So the same holds true for any of these reviews and the whole review score. With most brands this wouldn’t matter, but Tesla seems to draw a lot of hate from people that have no actual experience with Tesla. I’ve never met an unhappy owner, though I’m sure they’re are some out there.

Love this car! Have had the 3P and the YP and this takes the cake, not even a fair apples to apples comparison. People on here complain about the stupidest things. This car is my absolute favorite to drive hands down, owned many cars and this one is just a dream. I do with the horn was actually a horn, hitting that small button for the horn is quite distracting but thats about it.

Fraudulent Sales Process

Totally fraudulent sales process. Do your homework before even considering purchasing a new car from Tesla. New 2023 Tesla Model S, the GPS and Camera software didn’t work, car computer needed to be replaced, Premium Software package doesn’t work even when paid for, roof rack was installed with missing parts, door seal needed to be replaced, window needed to be replaced because it leaked rain from the outside. Horrible experience. This was all in the first 45 days of ownership. Now I am trying to cancel the deal through Lemon Laws.

As a disappointed owner of the Tesla Model S Plaid, I must caution prospective buyers about the numerous shortcomings of this vehicle. Upon delivery, I was dismayed to find paint imperfections and noticeable gaps in the panels, indicative of subpar manufacturing standards. Throughout my ownership, I encountered a litany of electrical issues, from software glitches to malfunctioning components, which marred the driving experience and eroded my confidence in the car's reliability. Despite its hefty price tag, the interior of the Model S Plaid lacks the craftsmanship expected in a luxury vehicle. Cheap materials and shoddy assembly detract from the overall appeal, leaving me feeling shortchanged for my investment. Admittedly, the Model S Plaid delivers impressive acceleration, but harnessing its power on the road requires costly aftermarket upgrades to enhance control and handling—a disappointing necessity for a car of this caliber. Equally disappointing is Tesla's service center experience. Lacking in customer service and refinement, these centers make you feel like you're dealing with a budget brand rather than a premium automaker. The lack of attention to detail and professionalism further underscore the Model S Plaid's shortcomings. In conclusion, while the Tesla Model S Plaid may dazzle with its speed, it falls short in delivering the quality and luxury expected in its price range, making it a regrettable choice for discerning buyers.

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.
