The plaid is awesome, it's also terrible. The acceleration is stupifying, and that's coming from a P100D. The car also handles better, it feels lighter and more nimble than my P100D. The suspension tweaks have helped, the tires are also slightly bigger.
You don't feel the acceleration difference much below about 60, the tires just can't grip in most circumstances. From 60 to 100, it's unbelievable, crazy, cartoon physics. OMFG.
The interior is lovely, elegant, clean, and crisp. I have a '21 GLS 63 that's got more bells, whistles, and lights than a 1970's pinball machine, the tesla UI is vastly superior.
The center console is the best of any car I've ever seen. Ingenious storage compartments that are LIT so you can see them, clean and attractive when closed. This is a huge step up from my P85D that had no center console and no door pockets.
Now for the not-so-great part: I can get used to the yoke, I will never love it, but it's workable.
The turn signals, brights, and most importantly the HORN are unforgivable. You can argue that the turn signals are a design aesthetic decision, but there is no excuse for not making the center of the yoke work as the horn. Tesla has tried to make "cheap" look cool for a long time. I get it, buttons are expensive and often overused (see my Mercedes), but there is no excuse for the horn. I've almost gotten creamed twice now as people back into me as I'm frantically trying to find the stupid touch-sensitive location for the horn. It's impossible to hit in an emergency. Elon had to save $0.30 on a $145,000.00 car by making the horn a tiny touch-sensitive area on the steering wheel. It's unforgivable. It's just cheap. And, no I didn't know the car didn't have a usable horn when I bought it.
As far as the turn signals, shifter, brights, wipers, and autopilot buttons go they all suck. I figured I'd give it some time to see if I adapted to it, if they weren't so bad, give Tesla the benefit of the doubt that they didn't totally cheap out on a $145,000.00 car. They SUCK. It's awful.
The turn signals are always doing the wrong thing, I get one blink when I want it to stay on. You have to totally mash it to guarantee it'll stay on, and when you try for one blink it stays on half the time. They suck. Whoever heard of one blink? it should be three blinks for a tap.
The shifter is backward from the old tesla. Move the car up the screen for drive and down for reverse. Makes sense, right? Except the problem is that my old car needed an upward motion of the shifter stalk for REVERSE and a downward motion for DRIVE.
The yoke is the least of my complaints, I at least like the look and might put up with the stupid thing except that it's covered in touch sensitive crap that you are always hitting as you wrestle with the thing in a parking lot. I've hit turn signals, horn, brights, windshield wipers, voice control, f-ing everything as I wrestle with the thing.
What irritates me most is that Tesla saved themselves a few dollars in switchgear and f-ing ruined an otherwise amazing car.

It sure looks cool and visibility is great but it feels too big making the car feel less sporty (compared to M3)
