Tesla Model S Plaid: My HONEST 6 Month Review 

Love this comment. Thanks for watching and glad you’re enjoying your plaid! I love the wide tires and I love the look but might consider something different in the future. I figured I’d be spending the money one way or another buying this car. Haven’t scheduled yet with Tesla for my panel gaps to be looked at but curious if they will deem it as “within spec”

Tesla wouldn't adjust the gap on the rear hatch in your case because if they did, they'd cause several other gap issues. If you just got a 2024, most or all of them seem to be out of square on the rear quarter panels but about 1/4" longer cross from upper left to lower right vs upper right to lower left.

Yep the 19’s don’t have that problem. The larger tire creates additional camber on top of the already excessive camber in the suspension.

wrong!!!

If you enjoy breaking your wrists in parking garages, sure. The yoke is just for looks, it might as well be a rake in terms of practicality. I drove one extensively. Don't try to convince me otherwise.

I have a Plaid and I threw that ridiculous piece of junk yoke wheel in the garbage the first week!

No one likes the yoke, you are just trying to convince your self its better while its measuribly worse.

yoke blows ! ELON LIED PEOPLE DIED

you can't afford it anyways😂 cry about the leds

@@jadenwoolcock3711 I can dude… I am actually waiting. Need to sell one car though. And I go for the Plaid, not the normal. But for this price I want the bloody leds

@@jadenwoolcock3711lol ppl crying about LEDS bruh. Get yourself a keyboard

​@@jadenwoolcock3711How would you know what he can or can't afford? You op's accountant or something?

I've had the Model S Plaid. I've been driving since January 2023, and LEDs are superfluous when you have so much more.

Dépend , u can adjust camber by loosing suspension and arm, adjust camber than tight everything

Or they’ll tell you that it’s in-spec which is what happened to me over the last couple of Teslas I’ve owned

They will most likely refuse to

Me too!

This is all false. Most people aren’t evaluating panel gaps.

@@brich5314 right. Most people don't have eyes that can see gaps in panels.

I did that on mine, but it didn't make a difference. I'm just going to purchase a set of 19 in and use the 21 in for summer only

I test drove a Model S and it took me less than 15m to learn how to use them. It was surprisingly easy to adopt to the lack of stalks.

🗿bruh he was driving by an airport

me too

@@AustinZaback It couldn't have bothered you that much if it's been 6 months and you still haven't booked a service call to fix it. I would have told them the day I picked it up to address those issues ASAP.

I was just complaining about the tires on my plaid until I read your comment. Makes a lot of sense, I forget just how much power that car has.

The 21s look so much better and usually improve performance, Tesla needs to fix/improve the tire wear issue.

Yes I agree, I'm going to purchase a set of 19s and use my 21-in for Summer only.

😂

For all 4

Gay

Yes, it’s something I’ve thought about scheduling an appt for. You?

lol never heard that one before

no clue!

@@AustinZaback 👍🏼 thx for answering

Really? Thought it yells at you if covered

@@AustinZabackNo actually, my MYLR works just like it used to before the update. But on the other hand I used a small piece of clear tape to blur the camera's view of the driver, so it might only alert if completely blacked out.

I purchased those little black webcam slider covers from Amazon, they self stick and you can slide it to cover\uncover the lens anytime you'd like, they cost about 4 bucks for a pack.

Ok Mr. Mackey, settle down now, mmmkay?

Sorry man. What do you want me to do?

Thatth not very nithe

Good to know!

Musk is the Chief Engineer at SpaceX and holds a degree in physics, among others. Please exercise caution when consuming news from CNN. The internet provides a wealth of information at your disposal.

@@WiryOak Having an undergraduate degree in physics does not in any way qualify someone as an engineer, much less a CHIEF engineer. Even new college grads with mechanical engineering and EE/comp-sci degrees can barely find their asses with a map. It takes years of on-the-job additional experience to become competent, and decades of doing complex, successful designs and projects to get to the level of a chief engineer. Elon wouldn't even know how to design a screw if his life depended on it, and has never designed anything mechanical in nature his whole life. He wrote some code for his first online banking company, X (he has a hard-on for that letter) all of which had to be rewritten by real software engineers after he was kicked out of the company because it was so awful, and by the testament of those software engineers, it was really mediocre, inefficient code. So he can't even do that well. Elon is a showman, a salesman, a conman. And that showmanship works, because millions (including you it seems) have been bamboozled into thinking that he's some sort of genius and an engineer. He is neither. He just cosplays as an engineer. And guess who gave him the title of chief engineer at SpaceX and Tesla? He did. He gave HIMSELF all sorts of grandiose titles. He did not EARN those titles. He owns those companies and can call himself whatever he wants. Calling himself a chief engineer or even an engineer does not make him one anymore than me calling my d!ck Pope Francis doesn't actually make my d!ck the pope. Elon hires tens of thousands of smart, capable engineers to do all the engineering work, while he attends meetings, memorizes some buzzwords, then regurgitates those buzzwords in front of the cameras to a mostly layperson audience who are impressed by the big words he uses that they don't know. But those of us who ARE engineers see through his BS in two seconds and see him for what he is: a poser. He's made money by bamboozling investors with big promises that he's mostly under-delivered on or never delivered. If you think Elon does any actual engineering, technical design or coding work at any of his companies, you probably also think Ronald McDonald makes your burgers at McDonald's. 🤡

You’re talking out of your ass

@@WiryOakfor Space X design engineers which deals with rocket science and aerodynamics you need a degree in aerospace designs. Physics alone doesn’t really cut it.

@@jonolly8629bull fucking shit aerospace companies employ so many physics degree holders for everything

thanks man, God Bless
