BROKE DOWN & DEPRECIATED | Tesla Model S Plaid (3 Year LONG TERM Review) 

Get The Ultimate Car Mats for your Vehicle: bit.ly/TuxMatA8

Honestly, I am surprised that you guys arent at 1 million subscribers yet. Your videos are the best I've seen for reviews. Keep putting the work, it's a matter of time.

Your partner in crime doesn’t get enough credit. That Tesla intro was pure cinema

Camera man has top-tier skills

EVERYTIME I revisit this channel and watch a new video, I am amazed. Y'all are THE BEST car channel on RU-vid. Period.

Keep it and wait until it reaches over 100,000 miles, then do another review. It’s a great car. I remember when you reviewed the Model Y, and I bought it because of you. It's been 2 years, and I still smile every time I drive it. I love it.

Bro - no buyer in their right mind is going to pay you $90K for a 2021 Plaid. Those can be had all day long for $50K - $70K depending upon condition and mileage. Surely you know this ????

When they say it’s goes fast, they weren’t just talking about speed

New subscriber, just got a new Model S and I lust for the wheels you have. And came here to click your link for the floor mats. Good content!

I have Tuxmat in my suv. Absolutely love them! Best mats I have ever purchased

this video stumbled upon my suggested and I'm glad I watched it. the quality of the video and editing is high tier. you guys deserve way more subs. keep it going!

What do u think about the new seats ? Will u updgrade ?

the model s is a very comfortable touring vehicle. i have a 2023 one and i just love taking long drives in mine. Thank god I leased mine lol.

What steal branded brake lines did you get and which would you recommend? What high performance brake fluid did you use? Thank you for any feedback...

this is the best channel in the entire world! the editing, and the videography is amazing

Awesome, honest review!! Loved the cinematic aspect and soundtrack of this video - chef’s kiss!!!

whats the name of the rims?? fire

What type of wheels are you using? It looks super on the car. I’d like to get some from mine.

Great video as usual :) ,,,,I saw a plaid wrapped in chrome it looked amazing, or how about a plaid wrap,,,they will know its a plaid then lol ?

Damn, that’s a lot of depreciation. I say hold it and make another video in 3 years. If you do plan on selling - maybe get an LC500? Lexus is discontinuing the 2URGSE soon and LC is a beautiful looking car while not being too expensive.

Congrats on 250k fellas! I remember the first video I watched that made me sub… was the review of the RS7

Love Tuxmats! Great video boys. Ian truly is a world class creator!

Keep it and tint the windows. I don’t think EVs are going to get much faster than this so I think these will be steady in value.

The plaid is cool but I’m more interested in that S1k 👀 Congrats on 250k! 💪🏾

congrats on the 250k!

Great team work beautiful videos as always ⚡️

Suggested changes - remove front license plate mount (it looks so much better w/o) and update the yoke (horn is now a press on the center air bag!). Keep it. It's a great vehicle for a fantastic price (today's cost).

S or plaid for a daily ?

KEEP UP THE CONTENT! truly GREAT!

Your model sp is sick dood keep it ,😊your mods are sweet !

What rims ?

100% front wheel drive... I want to see this lol..... 😂........ you made that plaid look really nice with those wheels.

Got 1 and also took a $44k US price reduction. I paid $142k new now its $98k like mine new. However I did the track package (not wheels just CCB) pair with square 20” forged wheels and it transformed the car. It’s not just bigger brakes and top speed. In track mode they recalibrated the damping ratios to make it track focus. Now the top speed can be reached in any mode not just on track mode Also for CCB’s like this, the price is good. However I use the car more to race it. For the rest, cero issues love the car hate the resale so probably will keep it …..

Know a guy that street raced his first year Plaid and made over $250k before other racers got wise!

I think anyone that bought the Tesla at the height of the price, should keep it till it dies. Also I would tint the windows and windshield so it flows all black all the way through

Nice VIDEO! I have the 2023 Ultra-Red Plaid after someone hitting my MS16 75D! Anyway, I think you should get premium powder coat AMBER calipers to match the amber light in front. It would very rare in Plaid!

Man I raced one of these, in my Kia forte GT and I was very disappointed I lost 😂

Shoulda waited to buy it like I did. Saved a bundle and that’s why I’m not taking my cyber truck yet. I’ll happily wait when the prices drop and then I’ll jump on it.

So you take the car on a rally weekend and it dies the next day, then costs $11 grand to fix? Are you serious? AND the brakes suck? And people try to call this an "advancement" or "hi-tek"? I hope this video gets enough views to at least cut in to the depreciation. We appreciate your sacrifice for the public good. Your channel is great.

Getting one soon. Gonna get rid of my G63 for this, already love this ❤❤❤

great video man! id say keep it, teslas are the only cars i know that get better and better as they age, also tint your windows! more blacked out haha

Needs 7 inch ground clearance cuz roads

EVs are fast, insanely fast, I get it, the EV nerds keep talking about it when it comes in comparition with the supercars. But it wasn’t just all about the speed, it’s also the sound, the clutch thumps, the shifting punches… it’s…the experience.. I think every man will get what I’m talking about

"one is hollow & one is not" feel u there

i like the rim,s what kind are they? did you lower the car also?

One of your best videos; factual and personal at the same time. But don't go blowing through any more stop signs (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="995">16:35</a>). You're a Canadian and we respect traffic signs.

I just bought a black 2024 plaid with 500 miles for $72k. Was that a good deal? No fsd unlocked.

I switched out to a round steering wheel. Aside from the tires getting worn out, it is THE best car I ever purchased and that includes a 997.2 911 GT3RS which I still have. My last purchase is a GR Corolla Circuit but the Tesla is the one I use. It is also our trip car. $ per mile, it is the best value.

I doubt it’s going to hang with a turbo s other than in a straight line, also those front disks look so small I think that’s the problem

it's cool that you can lower the suspension and keep the suspension changing features available.

If you wanted a fast, value retainer family car, it should've been a Porche Cayenne Turbo S.

It’s a great car but that depreciation is actually insane.

great review, thanks!

On the comparison with the GT3 and not enough bling on the outside: the target audience appreciates that. I would actually want to remove the plaid sign if there was an option.

you can put carbon kit from TSK

You bought at initial hype and now complaining that supply vs demand has caught up.

The only reason I am thinking of getting one now, is because they have gone down in value so much. Sorry for your loss (and my gain.) 😄

More of these!

Sell it for the new model 3 performance?

I would drive it forever 1020hp on tap, comfort of air suspension, Over the air updates to always keep the car relevant, and Maintenance free motoring. My dads plaid is at 87k miles and he literally hasn't had to do a single thing besides tires.

Do you have a ioniq 5 N review

Dam I'm glad I bought my plaid 2022 but with all the refresh updates of the 2023 plaid for 80k and only with 11k miles

Goes to show, Tesla is either just hiring anyone. Or hiring yes men because with proper R&D, even if you found cheaper materials. A 50k decrease is massive and they basically used you as a loan to improve the model S. Like they say, money doesn't grow on trees and has to come from someone's bank account.

I’ve got the same plaid and s1000rr sick bro

Probably need to change the brake pads as well and different rotors

$90k depreciation is hard to imagine! I feel for you bru. Dont sell it, you wont get another car with 1000hp at that price. Wait 3 more years for the roadster.

When you said 2005 Subaru Legacy, I said SUBY #FTW!! Still have my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT (76,000 miles; needs timing belt replaced), and it’s a sweet ride. Always garaged .. until the 2024 Model Y Performance took the garage spot so … gettin’ dirty! LOVE my Tesla Model Y Performance and could possibly see a Model S in my future … maybe. Your Model S Plaid is SWEET!!!

The fact that you can get the performance of a hypercar for just over 60K used now is insane. Bring the wife and kids and its a good day. Cant do that with the GT3RS

Put the track pack on that thang

I have a 2022 Plaid, so much depreciation, probably will keep it as a daily drive

Not a fan of EVs by any means but this video caught my attention

Used 2021 plaids are priced in the $60kish in the US

The car that broke down and cannot run isn't worth 90K. In fact, it costs just the value of scrap metal.

Go with unplugged performance Apex mod

Only thing I would do is tint the windows after that the car is fine 💯

You must not have FSD because, at least to me, it is just as fun as its acceleration

My man said who would pay 20k for better performance and brakes 😂 on a Porsche there’s 20k damn near on color and stitching options alone and don’t even get me started on the bmw cs upgrade which is a 30k bump for more hp

Maybe make the door handles and the back of the rearview mirrors matte black.

i have a 2022 Model S Plaid and a Model 3 Long Range and combined ive lost $87,000 and ive only have them for a year and 3 months lmao

New Model S Plaid customers will be very Happy Now 😍 the price

Bro the 2021 Plaids are going anywhere from $62-68k on average on Autotrader for a clean title with 20l - 45k miles

Cheers from AB. I own a 3P and you’re right, once the on/off snap head back novelty wears off there is nothing else. Zip, zilch, snooze fest. Tesla basically built the Toyota Corolla of electric cars because aside from acceleration they are just as boring.

KEEP IT! There is NOTHING comparable to that 1020hp 4door sedan that has Prius running costs and road manners like this thing! 8yr 150k mile warranty to! You need to drive it more infact!

Awesome review.

This, brand new is 120k€ and for a used 2022 model with 50k km on it would be around 90-95k...

Sell it before Tesla goes belly up. Meanwhile, these videos are top notch!

Good video. thks

A timeless spaceship. Just keep it, very good daily driver.

Tesla model S 0-60 in under 2 seconds….$181k - $90k in under 2 years! Thanks Elon 😂

Seen 2021blue ones(look better than the blah black and white ones) on Auto Trader and Cars site for $60-70K USD with 20-25k miles.

There is a lot to unpack in this video.

Dude, try Full Self Driving. You'll never gonna sell this thing once you do ... It's mind-boggling!

This title though…. He ends up recommending the vehicle.

If you could sell it and get a brand new one to replace it for a little more money it could be worth it to sell given you put it through a lot early on. If you have all the initial enjoyment of abusing it out of your system you could go easier on the next one if you want to have it for the long term. It is a moderately timeless design and over the air updates well help keep it fresh. You could move any mods to the next one. Or… keep this one to show longevity/durability, it won’t be worthless when the battery goes in years, it could be cheaper to replace the battery in the future and there could be a new style, lighter with better technology down the road. At that point if you’re out of warranty you could have the battery serviced third party for way less or just get a new battery.you spent 180 what’s 25-30k in 3-5 years. That’s almost the brake package. Mods to consider Vented/ slotted rotors Better pads Lighter rims/ staggered Front lip/splitter Rear defuser Trunk lip spoiler Definitly no roof box. sound system upgrade maybe alpine all the way around Interior accent lighting Sun roof panel shade/ ceramic tint all the way around doesn’t have to be dark to keep the heat out, car uses less energy cabin overheat protection will run less as well in the summer.

Used Model S Plaids are dropping into the under $70k range now, so that's finally a decent price, not a $120k ripoff, lol. Model S P100D's are getting dirt cheap too, for similar performance, features, and the same exact looks.

You could have bought a lot of Toyota Priuses &/ Chevy Volts for approx $200,000 🤯

Sorry to hear about your divorce. Is the divorce the same as here in the US compared to Canada?

now I drive a 3 and my next will be Tesla S! However, I dont need the Plaid.

Just get the track pack brakes already or quit complaining. it also includes a better handling software package. they're awesome and a fair price at $15K installed. as for depreciation, go talk to the taycan owners. wheels are low quality, cheap heavy. rear fitment is off. tires are inferior to ps4s. your rear camber is probably insanely out of spec since you lowered it. did you even get an alignment with a read out? your factory air suspension is experiencing accelerated wear for operating outside of its designed height range. but hey do you.

keep it til the battery dies, nothing can compare far as 4 door sedan, fast, and no gas.
