REVIVING MY BELIEF IN ELECTRIC CARS: UNLEASHING THE 1020HP MODEL S PLAID

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses renewed enthusiasm for electric vehicles after experiencing the 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid. He highlights the car's astonishing acceleration, comparing its 0-60 time to that of a Bugatti Chiron and noting its effortless 100 mph capability. The reviewer is impressed by the advanced technology, including the responsive touchscreen, the intuitive autopilot system (rated 10/10), and the adaptive suspension. Positives include the quiet, double-paned windows, comfortable interior, and ample storage. However, criticisms are leveled at the unconventional yoke steering wheel, which requires conscious hand positioning, and the perceived underpowered brakes during extreme launches. The reviewer also notes occasional software glitches, such as the screen locking up. Despite a personal preference for V8 engines, he concludes that the Model S Plaid is a fun, high-quality vehicle, awarding it an 8.5-8.8 out of 10.
