In this video I finally get to drive the much talked about Tesla Model S. The instant torque and smooth power delivery makes this an amazing car to drive. I demonstrate the AutoPilot feature and dispatch 0-60 mph in less than 3 seconds...MIND BLOWING !
I also talk about owning the car, the very special showroom experience and take a look under the Tesla's skin.
A big thank you to Emma at Tesla for making this review possible. If you have not driven an electric car then you need to ! Contact Tesla and they will be more than happy to make this happen.

really well made video. Didn't realise I had watched almost all of it till the end. Subscribed and liked.

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the Sub 👍

@dogphlap6749 7 лет назад

As an owner of an earlier and slower Model S I expect reviews like this one to have a few stupid errors but I could not fault this video except to say it was too short. Well done ElectroPed.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

+Dogphlap Wow...that's kind of you to say 👍 Glad you enjoyed it. Such great cars 😎

@agskytter8977 8 лет назад

Try going in to a Mercedes dealer and have a look at the new E-class. Then ask what price you have to pay up front for the most powerful version with gas included, free mechanical servicinig on everything related to the engine, fully warranted, etc for 8 years..

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Good point !

@rebel_jedi 7 лет назад

Tesla is not for you. thanks !

@johnnys937 6 лет назад

JUST BOUGHT A NEW E CLASS MUCH BETTER THAN THE TESLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@markmark5269 6 лет назад

I own a Tesla, I drive an E Class or an S400 Hybrid at least once a month for a 4 hour round trip for the last 3 years. You are wrong, period. I am a big fan of Benz and was close to putting my money down for an E series as an S is a little big for my city, but then I was given a Tesla for a weekend. Even with my general dislike for American car ethos, and first run build cars from a new company, the Benz wasn't even in the race. You Sir, HAVE NO IDEA.

@markmark5269 6 лет назад

Agskutter, try driving past a petrol station in a Tesla. Try driving past all the car service places in a Tesla - the service places you still have to take your car into and waste a day regardless if it's free or not.

@PaleHearse 8 лет назад

"If I owned one of these I'd be doing that all the time and charging up a lot."~ Yup. That's what you do. It just never get's old. I have the "slow one". Mine does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. That is still Ferrari quick. With nothing to wear out.. no clutch, no tune ups... nothing... every light is a smile. It's just fantastic.

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Love it !

@tmat04 8 лет назад

+Petrol Ped Thanks for this great video. But why didn't you test drive the lastest Model S P90D instead of the older model?

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed the vid. It just happened to be the press demonstrator running. I don't think it would have made too many changes to the video. All the external shoots I used during the video were from the face-lift version.

@tmat04 8 лет назад

Petrol Ped Ok, got you! Do you like the looks of the face-lifted verson better? At first I didn't really like it that much, but it has grown on me, considerably. In fact I now think it looks even better than the previous (although the car's overall design really hasn't changed that much). So, what do you think?

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Not sure...I like them both. The interesting thing is that they don't need lots of radiator space on the front end. Great for low drag.

@davidf8749 4 года назад

I've gone from 0-60 at 2.8 seconds. Admittedly, it was on the Roll 'n' Roll Rollercoaster ride at Disneyland Paris. If only I had a car which could do this. Dream on. :)

A really well stitched video. Great review! Can't wait for the model 3 to come out

@evwonder1889 8 лет назад

Best review of the Model S that I've seen on RU-vid. Very informative and well stated. Thanks; I enjoyed it and it makes me even more excited about the reservation I've made for a Model 3.

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Thanks Rick. Glad you enjoyed it. Lucky you getting a Model 3 👍

@nickjh1968 8 лет назад

A brilliant review Peter, just excellent. I knew this car was going to be interesting but had no idea it was that impressive. The pace of development of electric cars is astonishing to say the least. I am not sure many people out there realize just how far this technology has progressed in recent years, and its not exaggerating to say these things really could sound the death knell for petrol/diesel powered vehicles. And the looks! A staggeringly beautiful design, almost super car like from certain angles, just amazing, as you say, a real game changer. Thank you for this video, if only the fools at 'Top Gear' had the savvy to approach the subject as you do, interesting intelligent presentation, and proper in car road tests.

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Thanks for such lovely comments Nick. It was a very thought provoking car. Astonishing performance but the fact it is a car you could easily live with was the bit I found interesting. Amazing tech too 👍

@jasetheace71 6 лет назад

Been watching your back-catalogue, love what you do, my new fav driving youtube channel. I have been looking at tesla's for about a year, i commute 350 miles a week. Electric cars make alot of sense to me, it's justifying the initial outlay to my mrs :-)

@PetrolPed 6 лет назад

Thanks, and I’m glad you like my stuff. Take the Mrs for a test drive 👍

@admiraljosh 8 лет назад

This is a really awesome video. Your commentary is so good that it almost harshly contrasts with the windows movie maker preset opening and the low subs. You deserve for more people to watch these

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Cheers. The opening titles were indeed done with Movie Maker but I kinda like them 😜 Hopefully my editing skills have come on since then and I've moved to a Mac. Hopefully in time my Subs will continue to grow as people like and share my stuff.

@ukandrew 8 лет назад

Id like to echo Skibble Dazzles comments, very impressed with the video. Maybe Tesla need to employ your services when marketing their vehicles. :-) I hear a certain tv show may have vacancies. :-) Now I want a Tesla S P90D. :-) All joking aside, I rarely comment on youtube but this time you've made me buck the trend. I, too, have subscribed and liked. 👍 Thank you for an interesting and informative video.

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Andrew that is very kind of you to say. Getting encouraging comments like this is why I do it and I'm glad you enjoyed it. The guys at Tesla are very pleased with the success of this video and have already said I can get hold of the Model X when it hit our shores later this year. That should be good !

Impressive cars for sure 👍

@lewisb8634 7 лет назад

I will make a point of getting this car at some point in my life. I'm 17 now, and sometime in the future I will own a Tesla. They are amazing. Anyway, great video - enjoyed the clear and thorough review! :)

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Cheers Lewis. I think this car is the start of things to come. We'll all be driving electric and fuel cell cars in 20 years time. Get drives in as many petrol cars as you can while they are around :-)

@mockone 8 лет назад

Fantastic review! Loved that you went over the chassis of the car and details around the features/benefits outside of just the car itself. Looks like a ton of fun to drive. Wonder if that fun sticks with it through ownership.

@rx7171 8 лет назад

I suspect after a while you start to take its performance for granted. Then one day you have to drive an ICE car and you feel you have gone back to driving an Ox cart and forget to gas up and end up on the side of the road. :)

@seanz6586 8 лет назад

+Robert Jacklin I notice card it right after my test drive. Getting back into the ICE was awful.

@Viperrm64 8 лет назад

Excellent video as always Peter, wonderful in depth review of the Model S, maybe one day when these hi-tech cars are a lot more less expensive we will all get to benefit from the amazing technology that goes into these cars, also Hydrogen Cell powered cars once they perfect the technology will be even more green and super efficient.

@p1703 7 лет назад

+john m Lets see how the Model 3 sells. German car manufacturers get at least quite nervous concerning this car's specification and price. They have some cars featuring more quality, but for much more money. And they have still electric cars with unusable range which are *not* cheaper than the Model 3. I am a German and I recently tested the Volkswagen E Golf which was called a Tesla killer... I can only laugh about this...

@dogphlap6749 8 лет назад

Nice job. The only thing I noticed wrong was the claim the battery current went straight to the motor, it actually goes via the inverter because the motor is AC and the battery is DC. In addition to converting DC to AC the inverter controls just how much power the motor gets in response to the accelerator pedal position.

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Thanks for the correction.

@markmark5269 6 лет назад

You're right, I own one of these and I do it all the time. After a life time of ICE, I still can not get over the instant throttle response. Plenty of clowns and experts on Teslas on the net, until you have driven one you haven't got a clue. By the way, you didn't mention the cruise control! So what you say? The difference between a Tesla's cruise control Vs a normal car's cruise control is kind of like the same difference you felt overall, it's bloody amazing, yes, a cruise control!

@nickhaller1353 6 лет назад

your reference to the Millenium Falcon really got my interest cause you seem to like star wars.

@PetrolPed 6 лет назад

LOVE Star Wars !

@TurboPeeen 8 лет назад

Thanks Pete. Another great video! Very insightful, I have never really looked at Tesla aside from the odd article here and there. In summary, very impressive and does make a compelling case as a daily commuter/supercar! Unsure about the lane changing and self steering. I think I'd need to try it to really have a valid opinion but even without this, its still very impressive. For me, it will never replace a naturally aspirated V12... a dying breed :( but... for commuting the Model 3 (from the outside anyway) looks very promising. Looking forward to the next video! Maybe the S4? ;) Cheers, Matt

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Thanks Matt. Autopilot is an interesting 'hands-on' feature and I too missed the sounds of the engine. Next video will go live on Friday at 6pm and is...the Range Rover Evoque Convertible !!! S4 video being planned ;-)

@TurboPeeen 8 лет назад

Yeah, i'd like to experience 'Autopilot' for myself! S4 = Great! Evoque Convertible.... sounds interesting, maybe not my cup of tea but i'd love to know more regardless! I'll be sure to catch the video then!

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

The Evoque is one of those cars I just wanted to review. It was actually very good and I'm pleased with the finished video. A bit of fun and a car many of you guys would probably never drive. What I can bring you very soon is the new S4. As soon as it comes in to Portsmouth they are going to let me do a full review :-) That should be ace. Rumours are best part of 400 bhp and of course Virtual Cockpit ! Oh...and keep an eye out for the F Type SVR !!!!

@TurboPeeen 8 лет назад

That all sounds great! I look forward to watching them all :)

That was a real interesting video Pete 👍first time I've seen a review on one of these. what sort of price was the Red one at? also the red one had a different front grill compared the the silvery grey one in the showroom is that part of the options list? love the Star wars 0-60 boost.😊

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

They start at about £58k for the 60kWh two wheel drive. I drove the top spec one and that is about £100k new. The silver car on the video had the new style front grille. The red one was the previous model.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Thanks Alan. I did actually shoot footage about the boot and the froot but sadly I had to leave it on the cutting room floor as the video was getting too long. Glad you enjoyed the review though.

@lefuedebout 7 лет назад

Interesting video focused entirely on the tech and motor performance. No mention of the poor quality interior fixtures and fittings. Maybe ahead in the electric car business but miles behind in finish when compared with the likes of Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar etc etc.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

TheMister Mann My first impressions of the interior was that the fit and finish was very good. In fact I thought the materials used were really nice. They will always have a way to go to beat Audi in terms of finish but it was by no means shabby.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

TheMister Mann I can't comment on what it would be like to live with in terms of durability.

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Not driven it but anything Tesla do at the moment is good. Depending on price point I absolutely see it as a feasible option for a daily...that is the whole point. I think I would miss the sound of an engine but the instant torque might make up for that !

@PetrolPed 2 года назад

It’s is where that started 👍

@heliharris69 6 лет назад

Be interested to know for sure....but when in AutoPilot does it detect potholes in the road and avoid them. I`m thinking it doesn`t so in the real world of driving where we spend as much time looking at the road surface as surrounding traffic...i can see this mode being a problem... and therefore much more likely of sustaining damage to the vehicle.

What about when the batteries wear out? Every lap top, phone or cordless drill I've owned with Li-ion batteries has needed replacement batteries after 5 or 6 years and the performance has deteriorated from the first day.

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

I guess long term ownership would require battery replacement. They do have a considerable warrenty.

@Hirotoro4692 8 лет назад

The battery warranty is 8 years or unlimited miles. Trust me, battery wearing out is the least of your worries. Plus this car uses much more advanced battery than a cell phone.

@keyanization 8 лет назад

they aren't the same type of battery as phone ones, similar but not the same. With these cars the thing will fall apart from age before they drop to even 80% capacity

@kriss2005 8 лет назад

Laptop battery packs don't have thermal management systems like Tesla batteries. They are good for 500.000 km @80% usable charge. Also, even if the shape / form is the same as 18650 cell format, they use a different chemistry.

@jeanbaptistelabelle 7 лет назад

Well, to make hydrogen, you need ... electricity. So instead of having electricity --> hydrogen --> storage / transport / distribution --> electricity, why not using it, in a direct and more efficient way right away?

@knifeyonline 7 лет назад

where are you getting that price from for the model3? Production of the car starts in July 2017 so they are only estimates. Are you sure you're not thinking of the current model x, which is designed to compete with high end audio/bmw?

@Neptoid 7 лет назад

You don't get energy by braking just like kinda braking when you step off the pedal when you brake you just stop but when you go off the pedal it starts spinning the other way braking kinda and harvest the energy braking stops faster, go off the pedal makes energy and stops but sliver so when you need to get a turn just go off the pedal and like to the right or something

@ksatriasaputra8588 8 лет назад

Hi Mate. Tesla have said I can have a Model X when that comes to the UK later this year. Not asked for the Model 3 yet 😜

@robertbidochon7949 8 лет назад

Petrol Ped Dang, you're fast to answer! It would be great to show the model 3, because it is an interesting car for a lot of normal people to save money on their vehicle. (no more fuel and maintenance...) Thank you for your time and for sharing, keep it up!

+Eat The Rich I try to be. I'm on holiday at the moment so work isn't getting I the way of Petrol Ped 😜 I'll ask about the Model 3 👍

What would happen if you were to indicate and there was a vehicle in the lane you wanted to go In, would it still change lanes or wait for the vehicle to pass??

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

+Regflirt. Com It has blind spot detection. If you indicated and there was a car there it would stay in the lane.

@L4WNY.. 7 лет назад

Petrol Ped I guess that would make sense. :)

@jeanbaptistelabelle 7 лет назад

It does not allow it. Even if not using AP, it pushes you back in your lane of there is a car beside you when you change lane.

Ive watched many tesla vids,......none highlight the auto assist safety feature in foul weather......can this thing see in the rain n fog???

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

I don't know actually. I've heard of that feature in other manufacturers bit not sure if Tesla have it.

@kimani34 8 лет назад

does that car have 2 sunroofs?

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

No. It's a full panoramic glass roof but the front half tilts and then slides back.

Bought a 2015 p90d ludicrous, 10k extra only to find out that I had been frauded !! They have 3 batteries v1 v2 v3 .. Mine was supposed to be 2 or 3 But to achieve 0-60 2.6 and the ludicrous needs 500kw to even work as advertised !! They put v1 to save money and put the crap in mine 450 max power.. So basically all the people that bought the 10k upgrade got screwed cause it don’t work and it won’t achieve the numbers it’s advertised.. I’ve been told they did this to over 500 cars no doubt it was cause they wanted to get rid of them and screw the consumers..

How's the noise inside? Quite?

@PetrolPed 7 лет назад

Very Quite. All you get is wind and road noise. When you accelerate hard there is also this very cool whistle/whine from the motors.

@shakogear 7 лет назад

Cool! Can't wait for driving it!

+Petrol Ped You've gained 100views since I posted this video! Amazing video mate!

@cazboi7848 8 лет назад

Great video! Are you considering buying an EV?:)

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

Not before driving this car but I would consider it now. However I'm not sure it would be quite right for my lifestyle. I do also love the sound of a V6 or V8 😎

@cazboi7848 8 лет назад

+Petrol Ped Nice. Yeah I used to love those too but now I love the noise from a Tesla even more. Its like you can hear the electricity being sucked into the motors. My family has a 70D, which is nothing compared to a P90DL, but still my dream car! I hope to afford a decent EV when I move away from home. Maybe I will put my savings towards a Model 3, but I am afraid I need to work a lot to get one :P Hoping to get a job at Tesla soon though. Big EV fan! Good luck with further videos ;)

@northerncyclisttvl6532 8 лет назад

That seems like a really short gap between turning on the indicator and the car changing lanes, not much of a warning, more saying "I am changing lanes" than "I am going to". That fault really needs fixing.

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

It's longer than it looks and there is collision detection on the car so it will not move into a lane if there is a car in the way.

@carboundcyclistuk3775 8 лет назад

well it sounded like 2 to 3 ticks of the indicator at most before I saw the car moving so 3 seconds to be very generous, With two seconds seen as reaction time, this really is nowhere near enough. it may be common practice for some, but nothing like enough for a safe and courteous warning. If there was a car in the way the indicators should not even flash as it causes alarm if someone indicates in that way, as it appears the driver is too dumb to have spotted them (I was told that as a learner). When I was learning to drive (30+ years ago) I was told that on motorways that you should double the time you warn others when timing indicating.

@cirhsot333 7 лет назад

You are right, the time is to short, I get pissed off at drivers that do that, Blink once and change lanes immediately. it is one of the things (very few things) I don't like about auto pilot.

@kimani34 8 лет назад

I love electric cars but the range on a charge scares me. so I stick with hybrids. In America you can wake up one day and decide to drive 60 miles on a whim and good luck finding a charging station.

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

I can imagine. On a full charge you have a good 200-250 miles. Tesla is an American company so hopefully Superchargers are coming your way soon !

@kimani34 8 лет назад

In Chicago most of the charging stations are at the 2 Tesla dealerships in the entire county sector that spans over a 150 miles in radius. People are so in love with their trucks and suv's out here. I have seen one Tesla on the road in the city this year.

@smartelectriccar 8 лет назад

We wake up every day with >200 miles range on our Tesla. Every day, because we plug it in overnight. We've driven 500 miles in a day using the free Tesla supercharging network from Toronto to New York city.

@Hirotoro4692 8 лет назад

Range is no issue on Tesla, as owners have proven. You drive 250 miles at highway speeds. At 70 mph that's over 3 hours of driving. You stop at a truck stop with a supercharger, plug in. 40 min later, boom, you're good to go another 3 hours. You could drive this thing 120 miles and back again on a whim if you woke up with a full charge from your garage overnight.

@seanz6586 8 лет назад

Worrying for nothing. These have a range of 200 to 300 miles per charge. There are more outlets than gas stations when you think about it. You can even charge at campgrounds. Everyone that owns one usually states range anxiety goes away quickly.

No mention of that large crumple zone, or the interior spacing, or the capacity of the trunk and frunk. And no one seems interested in that BioHazard filtration. How about the way it seems to go through flood waters?

@PetrolPed 8 лет назад

I had footage about the boot space that I posted on my Facebook page. It is difficult to get everything in and keep the video to an acceptable length. I hope you enjoyed what I did put in.

@not2busy 8 лет назад

Yes I did enjoy it. Well done!
