BARGAIN COMPARISON! TESLA MODEL S PLAID VS MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE

EV Channels Review

This video presents a compelling comparison between a used Tesla Model S Plaid and a new Model 3 Performance, highlighting that a pre-owned Model S can be acquired for a similar price to a new Model 3 Performance. The reviewer praises the Model S Plaid for its superior interior space, hatchback practicality, larger infotainment screen, and the advanced features like air suspension with geo-fencing. The Plaid's acceleration is described as "scary fast," offering unparalleled performance for its price point. However, the reviewer notes the Model S's "terrible" yoke steering wheel and suggests a potential future cost for air suspension maintenance. The Model 3 Performance is commended for its nimbleness, approachable driving dynamics, sportier seats, and the inclusion of a dual-zone adjustable suspension, making it a "cooler" and more practical daily driver for some. The reviewer concludes that both vehicles offer exceptional value and performance, with the choice depending on whether one prioritizes the Model S's extra space and ultimate acceleration or the Model 3's agility and modern features.
