I purchased this Model S in August 2022. The Model S is white with cream interior looks very nice. The white which is free has sparkles in paint and looks great. The cream interior looks so good and the vegan leather feels and looks good and clean easily. The 19" standard tires run well and with the plastic covers off the rims look very good I get many complements. I added caps and a center cap to clean up the mags. The Model S is so fast I but I prefer the vehicle on standard which a bit slower but still fast and I set the drive to comfort for a nice smooth ride vs the sport ride. The electronics takes a bit of time to get comfortable with but eventually I'm fine with making custom changes to fit my driving needs. The yoke steering takes a while to get comfortable with and some won't like that. I'm good with it as I like the look and the handling is acceptable to me. Making turns can be an issue if you buy you might be better off with the round standard wheel. I like the navigation and voice system and the sound system all work well. I also think the a/c settings for the air direction works very well although there should be the ability to shutdown passenger air if desired. All the controls on the yoke are fine except the horn needs some improvement, way to small an area. I like the idea of all the controls on the yoke and no stalks or other buttons except for what you can do on the screen electronically. The space in this model S is tremendous, the trunk lower level is deep and stores huge amounts of stuff the trunk itself is large and if you drop the 2 back seats it's incredible what you fit in the back area. The fronk is nice but I don't use it much but it's there. This model S long-range is so fast and the regenerative breaks work well and once you get into them you can drive very long distances and never use the break pad. The technolgy in the Model S takes some time to get comfortable with but if you're a techy you will love it and if not you won't. The battery is close to capacity ratings as long as you're not in cold weather (freezing), speeds above 70, and stop and go traffic. Cold weather really drops the range by 10-20%. If you run heaters, heated seats and drive hard the model S battery is easily down 20% in range. This is not Tesla but EV's. But the model S does get up to 405 miles and that range is accurate before driving experience delivers actual. I've charged on Tesla charging at super high speeds and it is very fast charging maybe 1/2 hour to 200 + miles. They need to continue to work on build quality mine had 2 small issues and I've not had the model S back to Tesla but that one time for the fixes. Tesla maintenance did a great job I have no issue with their technical people and they were very friendly and helpful. I like the look I like the drive, I like the technology and I like the saving fuel costs as well as the environment. Great EV and vehicle the latest pricing seems more in line should be below $90,000.

But, the panel gaps!

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.

After 3 Teslas, a P-85 to P-85-D to P100-D; the quality of the vehicle has degraded. I would not buy a 4th Tesla S Performance/Plaid vehicle. Not worth the risk for a highly priced vehicle. And the service staff are unable to fix anything that is a quality of drive function. They claim they cannot fix the auto high beam lights because it's never dark when they are open despite video of what the freaking problem is--it does not work! Nor can they hear the irritating wind noise now prevalent on the P-100 front windows. Far more ambient noise than the first two I bought. "Oh, that's just normal" WTF for $150k if better be silent. Nor can they do "paid for work" that they did on the first 2 P-Model S I bought. Early adopter (within 1st 15,000 Model S sold). DONE!

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.

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.
