NEW TESLA PLAID! MY FIRST DRIVE AND FASTEST 1/4 MILE DRAG RACES

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides an enthusiastic first drive of the Tesla Model S Plaid, focusing heavily on its astonishing acceleration and drag strip performance. The "Yoke" steering wheel and minimalist interior are highlighted as unique, albeit potentially divisive, features. The car's ability to achieve sub-9.3-second quarter-mile times (9.33s recorded by the reviewer, 9.26s by Brooks) is deemed "phenomenal" for a practical family car, especially considering its weight and cost compared to hypercars like the Rimac Nevera. The reviewer also touches on the car's Autopilot capabilities and the novelty of external sound options. While acknowledging Tesla's quirks, the overwhelming sentiment is one of awe at the Plaid's performance-per-dollar and its record-breaking potential.
