In this six-day ownership update, Dave reveals his new 2023 Tesla Model X Plaid is named "Plaing," a sentimental nod to his childhood. He provides an initial assessment of the build quality, finding it "pretty darn good" with mostly consistent panel gaps and seams, though he notes a minor misalignment on one rear door panel which he may report. The Ultra Red paint is a highlight. Dave also discusses the practicalities, including the surprising comfort of the third row and the utility of the six-seater configuration for his dog, Bailey. He touches on the economic decision to purchase the 2023 model despite losing the tax credit and the absence of a front-mounted camera and ambient lighting. The review highlights the car's immense speed, even if it feels like overkill for his short commute, and praises the expansive windshield. Overall, Dave expresses significant satisfaction with his initial experience, finding the Model X Plaid to be a comfortable, fast, and well-built vehicle, despite its size.
