LIVESTREAM: TESLA MODEL S PLAID 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

This livestream range test of the Tesla Model S Plaid focuses on its highway endurance at a constant 70 mph. The reviewer highlights the Plaid's impressive efficiency, particularly noting its ability to achieve figures close to its EPA rating, even with the aero wheels. While the car is praised for its acceleration and overall driving experience, the reviewer points out that it's not the ideal choice for long-distance road trips compared to the Long Range variant due to its focus on performance over maximum efficiency. Minor criticisms include the yoke steering wheel (though a round wheel conversion is planned) and the car's active noise cancellation not being as effective as competitors like the Lucid Air. The test also touches upon Tesla's Vision-only approach to Autopilot, which occasionally leads to phantom braking incidents.
