I just wanted to go on record and say what an incredible vehicle the Model S Plaid is. I can drive just about whatever I want and I choose to drive the Model S. Never in my lifetime did I think that anybody would ever be able to effortlessly, daily-drive, a 1020hp car. This car is equally at...

Plaid mode or drag mode made zero difference on my 60-130 times (for me). I don't know that it even matters though as I'm able to pull away from 1 liter bikes in either mode.

This video sounds like complete trash, I wont do the click bate thing to save an overweight middle aged man's dying YouTube channel.

Agreed this is a bit messed up(but fixable) and the only thing that seems to work is to continue to Tweet at Elon. Please continue to tweet. Perhaps one of those "Tesla Owners Club Silicon Valley" will retweet as Elon seems to respond to those people often for some reason.

Mine was missing the muffler!!! LOL

Yeah but you get it right? You hit the blinkers with your left thumb, right? Just like a common two wheeled vehicle? You've not actuated the blinker with your knee or your pinky? Right? You guys are nuking crap out of this.

WTF are you talking about? You ever ride a motorcycle? How'd you hit the blinker?

TLDR Tesla owner bitch a lot.

Ive had zero issues heating up the tires on my 2022 Plaid. 😎

I came from a P100D as well and I love the Plaid. The yoke is great. If you ride motorcycles a lot you'll get used to the thumb positioning of the haptic controls, quickly. On a bike the blinkers horn and lights are actuated via your thumbs.

Thanks for the review, this was extremely helpful. I really love my Model S Plaid and especially the Yoke. Perhaps it's from all the motorcycle riding Ive done but the blinkers are exactly where they'd be on a bike.

Martian Wheels has a set of 18" wheels that fit the Model Y Performance or LR. https://martianwheels.com/collections/wheels-for-model-y/products/18-mw05-forged-race-wheel-for-tesla-model-3-model-y

Only time my car did that is when it was left in service mode by there service center. 2 min phone call and it was fixed

P100DL all the way. You've worked too hard to miss out on all the fun. You can always flip it over to chill or sport mode if you want to feel middle class speed.

Name one time Tesla have failed to deliver on an acceleration metric? They said the P85D runs 11s and it does/did. Who cars what you say the horespower number is especially when there can be as much as 15% variability between dynometers. Back on topic Plaid ordered and funding has been secured.

GM has successfully been doing the exact same with with the Corvette and Camero/ Firebird.

At one point I was up to 11 cars all purchased outright without debt (Including Tesla's) on Turo before I went back to work a few years ago. Here's why I no longer do it; -It's a bit heartbreaking to have somebody trash your car even if there is a robust liberty mutual insurance policy in...

Doubt there will be any HUD since it never really caught on in the late 80s. But in order to get the performance and incredibly high phase amps needed for Plaid they will need a revamped battery pack for sure. I expect they will consolidate the current 16 modules down to 5 or 6 larger ones...

Interesting. I have to get both of my MS aligned after a few thousand miles as they started eating the inner rears. Both times the alignment fixed the issue which thus far has not returned.

Why even replace it? Just remove the fireman loop unhook the 12v battery and load test it. If it load tests good put it back in as its simply a programed death based on cycles. They can't say *sugar* about warranties when the original serial numbers matching battery is still there. Disconnecting...

So long as all the old urethane was cleaned off and the surface prepped correctly the new glass will seal just fine. Not to mention that urethane is just squirted out of a Milwaukee caulking gun by an associate at the factory, then flipped over on a rotisserie before a suction powered lift...

Ive got a 'few' Model S modules in parallel with one of Jack Rickard's 240v inverters being charged by about 2.5kW of repurposed solar panels combined with another 1.5kW of solar panels all with 240VAC micro grid tied inverters. I charge my cars mostly at work. Depending on how hard I run the...

Your layman logic isn't gonna cut it here buddy. Ive taken the time to weigh both tire combos on a scale. Ive got a $1000 to the charity of the winners choice that says the 21" stock wheel and tire is heavier than a 20" Model X rim with a winter tire on it. If you're so sure, it should be easy...

Why when you can have a 21" turbines for less than the cost of 19" wheels? 21-Inch 2012-2017 Tesla Model S Wheels for Sale – Front Wheel Second choice would be Model X 20" rims, which I run my snow tires on in the fall and winter.

The P100D was on 20" Model X rims with a brand new set of snow tires. This wheels/tire setups is exactly 1.5 lbs lighters (per wheel) than the 21" turbines that were on both the p90d and p85d. Don't take my word for it, test the cars back to back at same SOC. If you live in such a Tesla dense...

If this thing doesn't run 10's when the track opens (like it has the last two years in a row).... It's getting sold. If they are going to reduce total kW output they need to make up for it with the P85D/P90D early power distribution curve. Ive never understood how that much power going into...

Who gives rats ass about Germany? Theres a 1/4 or 1/8 mile drag strip in every county inside the U.S. Pro Tip: If the link isn't in English 95% of this forum won't understand it.

Institutional fund managers wanting to be perceived as, being on the right side of climate change, really have no choice in medium to large caps stocks but to plow their billions into Tesla. As of today there are a lot people who have driven forklifts in Fremont for the last 5 years who are now...

Does acceleration matter to you? Does the P90D still have its lifetime free supercharging? If the answer to these is either yes or no, to both, that would be my answer.

Craigslist. Wheel section.

Would people stop posting that tired old German garbage link (launch mode not engaged+ low SOC) . Both of those cars have run 10.5 independently, Im fine with that. I'm talking about ......

Were your parents married barefoot? It's on the website. Anything delivered before Jan 1st 2017 also qualifies.

This is gonna be epic. We will get to see a little bit of what will be shaping the performance electric automotive landscape in coming years. This will be the first public demonstration of "alien technology."

Im expecting to place my order for the competition plaid model S in a few months and receive it by end of 2020. This will take the place of my Roadster order since they will be virtually the same price.

If it were me: Cancel the card, have your bank reissue a NEW number. Due to fraud I do this annually anyway. They can charge it all day it won't matter.

Technically 110V low amperage charging is the BEST form of charging for long term battery health. That goes for all 18650 Li-ion cells not just Tesla. Low C rate charging is best so long is time is not a factor.

Probably because it needs the downforce for traction. The Mercedes A class is the current world record holder for CD at .22 surpassing the MS.

Not sure anybody in a 2016 P100D gives a hoot about efficiency since all of them Supercharge for free. I would buy the lowest priced P100D you can, or wait for the plaid addition which will run 9s and make all Ravens and P100D less desirable. I've still yet to see anybody in a Raven surpass...

. Here's is what I recently learned: -The P100D decimated my buddies stock beautiful C6 Z06 from a stop, so he wanted to see the difference from a roll. Probably because his car doesn't seem hook up in first gear at all, in spite of having PS2 tires. -On a 3 honk highway pull from 50mph...

Then line the cars up and make a video of the race. At this point you having no proof other than your "feelings." Im not into arguing with people about their feelings, so I guess you're just gonna have to suffer with your poor slow P100D.

Above,Top 10 fastest 0-60 for Teslas, all time, on Draggy. Below, the P85DL start somewhere in the late 50's and seem to mix into the same times as the P3D.

Bro, you keep keep saying the same thing to everyone who will listen, and I want to believe you but until to post up 0-60 times or 60ft times, of a P85D beating a P100D, I cant get onboard. But, I do have a solution. Tell Santa you'd like a draggy for Christmas this year. Here's a link...

Something sounds wrong. The Brembos on my P85D were the best stopping Ive ever had.

553kW 2016 with 70K miles 84% SOC I was under the assumption that the pre-raven cars weren't getting any additional power? Is this incorrect?

Before Ford's water filtration system failed to keep water out of my fuel system on my my F-250 Superduty 4x4 diesel ($12,780 repair at Pacific Beach Ford), it was only used transporting dirt bikes to and from Pala Raceway. So I guess my weekend dirt bike pleasure trips cancels out your once...

The is every single weekday at the local Costco.

Gas prices just peaked on Thanksgiving, I'll take my free supercharger with a side conversation with other nice Tesla owners, while we wait. GasBuddy predicts fuel prices will be at their highest since 2014 over Thanksgiving

I really hate that you turned this topic political so Im gonna let you in on a little secret. You probably are going to want to get rid of your Model S, as the Fremont factory is filled with Trump supporters, why do you think the UAW has never cracked this place? Take a tour sometime and talk...

I was told that in order to verify the towing capacity a 5th wheel had to be installed and tested on one of the prototypes, as it is not legal to bumper pull 14k on public roads. Not sure how much bed elevation was needed for that 5th wheel hitch to be installed. But 3500 lbs is what they...
