ANOTHER TAKER FOR THE TESLA

EV Channels Review

This video features Jonathan Porterfield taking a Tesla Model S for a spin, specifically highlighting its Autopilot and adaptive cruise control features. The reviewer notes the car's impressive screen size, strong regenerative braking, and the convenience of the speed limit display. A key takeaway is the comparison between the 60 kWh and 75 kWh battery variants, with the reviewer concluding that the 60 kWh model, despite being a restricted 75 kWh battery, offers significant value for its price, especially considering the substantial cost difference for the 10 kWh gain. The reviewer also touches upon the car's comfortable ride on springs (compared to air suspension), the usefulness of the parking sensors, and the overall positive experience with Autopilot on motorways, though acknowledging the need for driver vigilance. The discussion extends to the residual value of used Model S vehicles, particularly those with free Supercharging, and the mechanics of how Supercharging transfers with ownership. The lease cost is also mentioned as a viable alternative to home charging for high-mileage drivers.
