EV Channels Review
Rob Wilson of Buckle Up reviews the Tesla Model S 85, offering a balanced perspective using both a 'skeptic' and 'Elon' hat. He highlights the car's impressive aerodynamic design (0.24 drag coefficient) and the surprisingly practical seven-seat option, though rear passengers may find space limited. The interior is minimalist, dominated by a 17-inch touchscreen, which controls nearly all functions, including unique features like "emissions" (fart sounds) and entertainment games. While the reviewer praises the instantaneous acceleration and addictive regenerative braking, he notes the car's size might be a challenge on UK roads. Real-world range is estimated at around 220 miles in cold weather, down from the claimed 312 miles. Despite some initial concerns about build quality and the reliance on the touchscreen, Wilson is ultimately impressed, finding it a compelling option, especially considering the free Supercharging access on older models, and declares it a "very good car" that has changed his perspective on EVs.
