    Model S Plaid Delivery and First Impressions

    I'll be driving to and from Buffalo, NY over the next couple days (600 miles round-trip +/-) and will report back when I return. That said, so far it has not grown on me -- especially those turn signal buttons. What a monumentally bad idea that was. They are downright dangerous and I've...

    Model S Plaid Delivery and First Impressions

    Seems okay so far. I've only made a couple calls -- volume (for me) is low, but nobody I've spoken to complained of any excessive noise.

    Yes, "...nearly upside down." ;)

    Model S Plaid Delivery and First Impressions

    Another hot take on the yoke and removal of stalks: hunting for buttons that are a moving target on an awkwardly-shaped spinning control surface is *extremely* difficult and *extremely* dangerous. Say, for example, trying to signal when exiting a roundabout like I tried to do tonight. In that...

    Model S Plaid Delivery and First Impressions

    Tough to say -- I haven't compared them directly -- but what I can tell you is this: when we took delivery of our Model Y with the new headlight assembly last month, my first impression was, "Holy **** are these lights bright!" That was compared to our 2019 Model 3. My first impression with...

    A yoke or a joke?

    Just picked up our Model S Plaid yesterday and have about 300 miles with the yoke. My opinion thusfar: it is utterly stupid at best and really, really dangerous at worst. It is awkward in general and downright difficult to use in any position past 90 degrees in either direction. That clumsiness...

    Model S Plaid Delivery and First Impressions

    I haven't had all that much time with it, but we didn't notice any exterior whistling. That said, the door seals at the sills are quite "wrinkled" and I am concerned about it. Will be interested in finding out if others are seeing the same issues. The car we received has what looks to be...

    Model S Plaid Delivery and First Impressions

    Steering has three settings and they all feel as-expected. The most sporty mode is much tighter than the 3/Y, middle setting about the same, lowest setting substantially softer. Otherwise, I wouldn't necessarily say "not enjoyable" but the yolk makes me feel less connected to the car and more...

    Vanity Plate

    I liked it on my Model 3 Performance. I love it on the new Model S Plaid. 😜

    Model S Plaid Delivery and First Impressions

    Hi all, I am a three-time Tesla owner -- 3, Y and now Model S Plaid which I picked up yesterday in Mt. Kisco, NY and drove back home to Albany (note all the bugs on the front of the car). 😂 My impressions: 1) Tesla is a great technology company...and a terrible car company. The staff at Mt...
